Bottoms up!
If a college freshman can’t get laid in sun-drenched Miami, he’s doing something wrong. Frankie Perez is determined to help his roommate get some man action in any way possible.
When Frankie’s arsenal of dating apps, fashion advice, and playing-hard-to-get lessons doesn’t work, he realizes Jeremy needs remedial help. Except tutoring Jeremy in the art of sex gets steamier than Frankie expected—and it scares the hell out of him.
Jeremy’s not sure why he’s wasting his time hooking up when he’s only got eyes for the slinky, sexy roommate he comes home to at night. But the hotter their chemistry simmers, the quicker Frankie dances away.
In near desperation, Frankie suggests the two of them team up to find a third to top them both, forgetting that two bottoms aren’t immune from lusting after each other. In a world where every man is an option, choosing one to love can be the sexiest risk of all.
Warning: Contains questionable morals, copious immature hijinks, an X-rated photo shoot, and disastrous threesomes. Sex toys were misused (but not harmed) in the making of this book.
REVIEW:
This was a very different type of m/m story. I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever read a story with this type of dynamic. With that said I really enjoyed this story. It was unique enough to catch and keep my attention throughout the book. It was mesmerizing how these characters struggled so much with these preconceived roles they thought they needed to focus so much on them. I liked how open they were to getting and using toys and realizing they could play around as long as they were honest and true to themselves and each other.
You can’t expect a relationship to work out with only two people. Sometimes you need to bring in outside help.
Jeremy and Frankie are teenage college roommates who share a dorm room. Jeremy a small town kid feels like a fish out of water in the super colorful gay scene that Miami offers. Frankie grew up in Miami so he’s use to the faster paced lifestyle. He’s also more comfortable in his skin, being gay and going out to be with men. He’s determined to get Jeremy out and meet men. He isn’t prepared for the feelings Jeremy is starting to ignite in him.
The two embark on a friends with benefits situation but both identifying and being more comfortable in the “bottom” role they continue to struggle with the mechanics of it all. Neither want to top. Neither want to be the aggressor so they are faced with quite a few stumbling blocks along the way.
I really liked these two characters. I thought they were adorable albeit a tad annoying and naive. I did appreciate their feelings though. It was obvious they both were struggling. I totally believed their connection.
Overall, this was a sweet, angsty read that is completely enjoyable.
