John
John has a good life. A mostly happy one even. It’s simple and a little lonely at times now that he’s divorced, but that’s okay. Not everyone is destined for a great love or happily ever after.

But he does have a thriving business and a best friend who’s like family. What more does he need?

Definitely not his best friend’s son. Even if John did look at men that way, there was no way he’d risk his friendship because he’d suddenly noticed things about Lukas he never had before.

Like how sweet he was. Or how good-looking.

Or how much he wants to kiss him…

Lukas
Having a crush on his dad’s best friend for years hasn’t done wonders for Lukas’s love life. No one ever quite measured up to the kindhearted man who always seems to be there when Lukas needs him.

He knows nothing can ever come of it since John’s straight. Like, used to be married to a woman, only ever dated women, super blue collar kind of straight.

Not to mention his dad would lose his mind...

But it's totally fine. Lukas is sure he’ll get over his feelings eventually.

Even if John is suddenly looking at him differently.

Almost like… Almost like he wants to kiss Lukas?

That can’t be right.

Laying Pipe is the first in bestselling author Kiki Clark’s Blue Collar Hearts series. It features a 42-year-old plumber who’s good with his hands… and pipes, a 26-year-old vet tech with the softest of hearts, a late-blooming bisexual, super low angst, and butt-touching as a love language.

Fantast story!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

John is Lukas’s dad’s best friend and Lukas has crushed on him for a long time. Lukas’s pipes burst in his house and he calls John to come and help him. John starts to realize he may not be so straight. John and Lukas have an instant attraction to one another once John “wakes up.” I loved how John wasn’t afraid to go for it once he realized that he had feelings for Lukas too. This is an age gap romance with a lot of steamy times and bisexual awakening! Loved that there was no angst, just lots of heat and romance!! The secondary characters were a great addition to the story, they fit in smoothly. I was gifted an ARC from the author, thank you so much for letting me read and review. I loved your story! Fantastic!!

Good book with a silly title

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020

Given a book with a title like “ Laying Pipe” I’d expected a light hearted book with lots of sex. You know one of those books that’s basically sex scenes linked together w/ hardly any plot or real story. That’s not want I got and I was both surprised and delighted. Yes, there is heat. Like incendiary level 6 on a 1-5 heat scale. So much heat, I may be fanning myself for days!!!
But it also as a real well developed story. It has emotion, and depth I wasn’t expecting. The characters are well drawn. The author does a great job of using dialogue and description to make you feel you would like to know these guys IRL. The story takes a premise that could be shallow and silly and instead creates a real love story b/w two guys that are in different places in life but still really belong together. The ending is of course, joyful, a little sappy and sweet. With a HEA that leaves you with a smile. Just like any sweet romance should. It is a story worth reading , enjoying and remembering. It was well worth my time and something I will recommend to others in the future.

💕 Laying Pipe // Kiki Clark // Blue Collar Hearts 2 💕

✨This series is going to be a comfort listen for me, I just know it! This is a perfect go to for a sweet, steamy and light read. ✨

💕 Sweet and feisty Lukas has been pining for his dad’s bear of a best friend, John for forever. When Lukas pipes burts, plumber John comes to lay some more and sweetness and steam ensue! This story is giving all the opposites attract, bear meets pretty boy you could want. Throw in some awaking goodness and genuine sweet connection, and Laying Pipe is a story you can’t miss. 💕

🍑 When it comes to spice, there is plenty and it is hot as hell. Let’s just say our burly bear is definitely a 🍑 man, and sweet needy Lukas is happy to oblige 🥵. 🍑

I was enjoying the story until I got to the 83% mark. Suddenly, one of the MC's shows up with glitter, eye liner, and fishnet stockings. There was nothing to indicate the story would veer off in this cringe-worthy direction and I couldn't continue reading. Next time, warn readers of this type of content so we can choose something else and not waste our time!

This story had everything to make me love it, but it all felt a bit rushed. John goes from straight to bisexual in a blink with an experience that is not very believable. Also, the resolution of the main conflict takes no more than two pages.
I find it strange because what I love about this author is her ability to give us everything we want in a book in just a few pages.
Still, I enjoyed reading it. Lukas is the perfect mix of tender and mischievous that made me love him.

I loved every single thing about this book!

Gosh, I loved this book so much.

I've been wanting to read this book since I first saw it popping up on my Goodreads feed. Call me easy, but the cover is so gorgeous, it spoke to me right away. I clicked want to read before even knowing what it was about. Finding out it was a dads best friend story, I was sold. I love a great age gap and this one was really well done. Really, really well done. Even the bisexual awakening was well done. And I'm usually trying to stay clear of the bisexual awakening/GFY trope. Seriously, the first sex scene might have been the hottest first time gay sex scene, I have ever read, *slowly fanning myself*.

This was a sweet and tender love story with very little angst. Lukas is in his late twenties and have had a crush on his fathers best friend John for years. Resigned to date lookalikes he can't imagine John ever having the same feelings for him, after all John is straight. Or is he? I loved following Lukas and John on this journey. The only thing, and it's seriously my only complaint is that Lucas had a tendency to run away instead of facing his fears. It didn't sit right with his character.

I also want to give the author kudos for the way she handled Lucas having a rescue dog. The way Lukas and John behaved towards her was 100% right. I often find authors lacking in the way they write about having a dog, not knowing how to handle them properly. So this author doing everything right, well it warmed my heart.

Crazy little side note; what's the thing with the name Lukas? It's my third book in less than a week with an MC named Lukas.

Well written story and well developed characters! John has been a part of the Brown family for years. So when their son calls him he is quick to respond. He is a plumber and their son has a floor basement!

Was craving some age gap / dad’s-best-friend romance and this fell into my lap like a gift.

How I haven’t read this before, I can’t understand but I definitely enjoyed it.

Lukas and John were great together.

I liked how they took the time to get to know each other and mulled over their genuine concerns.

If you haven’t checked this out yet, give it a go.

A heartfelt love story!

This book is wonderful! John and Lukas's story is about father's BFF to lovers, and included some other interesting tropes that made everything more spicy. The book is full of sweet moments and hot scenes and is perfect to spend a nice afternoon reading because its low angst situations. So sweet and endearing!

This was my first Kiki book, and I found it through another M/M author's group. I went into it not knowing anything about her writing or style. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are funny and engaging, and so endearing you find yourself rooting for them. They felt just like two men you might already know. I especially enjoyed watching John's journey of self-discovery and finding his person.

It's a quick, low-drama book, with plenty of laugh out loud moments that will keep you smiling throughout. Would definitely recommend!

This is my first story from this author and I wasn't expecting a lot. I was surprised to see how much I loved the MCs and their story. The characters felt so real, there was no added frills or unnecessary angst. They communicated well, didn't hesitate to open up their hearts and be mature about it. Loved the May/Dec angle, its handled pretty well.

Real good writing. Recommended May/Dec romance.
