A groundbreaking merger of genres, Luke Hartwell's latest novel, Love Underneath, is as distinctive as its predecessors. Hartwell has created a beautiful, sexy story of guys who love. Hunter, a high school senior, finds himself with no place to go and ends up sharing a bed with the friend and classmate he once had abandoned. Brandon, who has been in love with Hunter since ninth grade, finds having Hunter in his bed every night an intimidating dream come true. After graduating, the two boys part. Years later Brandon receives an unexpected call from Hunter, who has been married twice and has a son. Now, he's come to realize Brandon was always the love of his life. Love Underneath is a multifaceted novel about human relationships. As Brandon meets Hunter's son, Ben; Ben's best friend, Taylor; Taylor's father, Case, and the gardener, Jorge, the novel takes twists and turns that intrigue and delight. As with all Hartwell fiction, the characterizations, narration, and depth of feeling leave an impact.

Luke Hartwell's Nathan's Story is a powerful follow-up to his Atom Heart John Beloved. Hartwell has taken Keith Hale's novella Space as the vehicle to introduce an attractive new character, Harper, to the story of Nathan and John. Hartwell intertwines the story of Nathan and Harper with the story of Nathan and John while avoiding a rehash of old information from Atom Heart John Beloved. Like the first book, Nathan's Story makes readers think, can produce tears, and will bring plenty of smiles.

Rainbow Award winner Atom Heart John Beloved chronicles the lives of two boys who become friends at age thirteen.
