Dear Mr Brody will end up at the top of a very short list for Best Romance Reads of 2021, along with another of AM Johnson’s titles, Not So Sincerely Yours. But I digress.
I am here to talk about the ridiculously addicting, unputdownable charmer Parker Mills, the insightful witty star of this brills MM romance that had me and Mr Brody hooked from his evocative first lines.
The third book in the For Him series, Dear Mr Brody is a touching role-reversed Cinderella story about a well-read professor newly navigating his bi-curiosity that leads to a clever, modern story of love and awakening. I FLOVE Van and Park, and Wilder and Marco, and Pan and Silas and Anne and the rest of the players (GOAT status for Anders & Ethan *sigh*). And waffles, and sweatpants, and handholding and wrists, and hips and kisses, all the stars in the universe, gah! It’s all perfect.
Age gap—student professor—slow burn, all the feels eroticism in every contact. There’s even a little Gift of the Magi thrown in at the most dramatic moment!! However mentioning the tropes doesn’t do this well-written, deeply felt story justice. AM Johnson is on cruise control, writing the bookish men in this fabu world she’s built. This story is so real and full.
The inventive plot and these swoonable men will keep you swiping long past your bedtime. Which is perfect, because there is so much pleasure between the pages of the scorching hot romance that pulses with desire, denial and need and scenes that are so well-written and evocative, I squeezed my kindle tight trying to absorb all the feelings Van and Park drew out.
Parker is a gift. And Donovan makes me so happy. He’s a man who internally yearns for exactly what Parker offers (and whew does Parker KNOW what he wants), but Donovan is so selfless and thoughtful, Johnson sweeps you up in the reality of this poor professor’s dilemma and the beautiful inevitable turn. God, I kept checking my kindle to make sure there were more words to come. I didn’t want it to end.
And she wrote a clever frame: a fictitious MM Peter Pan story, and I was there for every minute of it. I wish it were real and I could read it, because it sounds magical.

My favorite of the series so far!
I love reading a story that touches you and let me tell you, there are some spectacularly magical elements to this amazing book. I loved Wilder’s story, I loved Ander’s story more, and A.M. Johnson left me all in my feels after finishing Donovan’s poignant story about finding love when you need it, when you don’t expect it, and when you deserve to let the past go so you can find happiness. This age gap, MM romance between a professor/literary agent and his 24 year old student was so sweet, and will pull at your heartstrings often and in the best of ways.Parker is a gay man who enlisted to fulfill his father’s dream. He tried to live out, but quickly and painfully discovered that wasn’t possible. As soon as his contract was up, he left and began a business degree, but secretly desires to be a writer. Signing up for a creative writing course, he meets Donovan, his professor who is following his lifelong dream to teach. They meet again at a club and sparks fly. Because the college has a strict policy, Donovan and Parket must keep their relationship a secret. Parker flirts constantly with him and despite Van’s efforts to keep his distance for a multitude of reasons, their chemistry and connection is too strong to be denied.There were SO many things I loved about this story. The many levels that Van and Parker care about each other hit my heart over and over again. Given they both have a love of writing, A.M. Johnson wove a fictitious retelling of Peter Pan featuring an MM storyline which gave a magical touch to this love story. She makes parallels between the story and their tale and creates a romance that simply must be on your TBR. I can’t recommend this book enough.
