He broke Jasper's heart once. Now he's asking for help—and maybe a second chance.

Out of Character is a swoony, geek-filled LGBTQ+ romance where ex-best-friends turn cosplay allies...and maybe more. When former jock Milo Lionetti needs help reclaiming rare gaming cards he lost in a bet, he turns to the one person he hoped never to face again: former friend and crush Jasper Quigley. But their shared history—and unresolved feelings—refuse to stay in the past.

From cosplay conventions to hospital charity balls, Jasper and Milo's journey is a geeky, tender slow-burn love story about vulnerability, forgiveness, and rediscovering what it means to truly belong.

Perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue, dive into a queer romance brimming with fandom joy, second chances, and emotional honesty.

      After Milo Lionetti loses his brother's costly game cards in a wager, he turns to the only gamer he knows, Jasper Quigley, a former best friend he discarded in high school. The last person Jasper expects to see is Milo, who allowed his high school buddies to bully Jasper years ago. Jasper will only help Milo get the cards back on the condition he cosplay a popular game figure for the local children's hospital. Milo hates looking like a fool in front of others but grudgingly agrees. Over time, Milo learns to stop hiding who he really is from his family and friends, and Jasper learns why Milo let him down in the past and why he can trust that Milo won't let him down in the future. VERDICT The romance builds gradually, since Jasper must overcome his distrust of Milo, but Milo's growth as a character and his and Jasper's earnest romance is worth the wait. Characters and events from Conventionally Yours, the first in the "True Colors" series, are sprinkled throughout, so readers may want to start at the beginning.--Eve Stano, Ball State Univ.
