BLURB:
An unexpected fresh start leads to an unlikely-but-absolutely-perfect pairing in this male/male new-adult novel from bestselling gay romance author K.A. Mitchell
Ethan may have followed his high school sweetheart to college only to get dumped his first day there, but he’s not going to let that stop him from exploring all his new life has to offer. Sex-only hookups, his photography, new friends and a campus-wide game of zombies vs humans all help keep his mind off his broken heart and move him toward building a new, better life without his ex.
And then there’s Wyatt. Mysterious, grouchy—hot. And possibly not gay. But Ethan’s not going to let that stand in the way of figuring out what makes Wyatt tick. New college goal? Get Wyatt into bed and into Ethan’s life.
Step one: arrange a “tutoring” date. Step two: “accidentally” bump into Wyatt as often as possible. Step three: explore the sexy body under that ever-present hoodie. And when their friendship deepens into something neither of them expect, convince Wyatt he’s not just a pity fling or a one-time hookup, but that Ethan is in it for the long haul.
REVIEW:
Well, I am sure it comes as no surprise that K.A. Mitchell is one of my “go to” authors. She’s one of my favorites and has been since I started reading this genre years ago. So I am not surprised at how much I really loved this story. It was so thoroughly enjoyable. So much so that I finished it in one sitting. Not that it was super novel length or anything but that doesn’t take away from the fact that I did not want to put it down.
Ethan is a totally loveable naive college student who plans a future with his high school boyfriend, Blake. Blake, a year older than Ethan has enjoyed his first year of college without his boyfriend and has decided that being single is the way to go. Ethan, having already moved is thrown for a loop. Deciding to make the best of things he sets out to do the best he can in school while trying to get Blake back. He isn’t prepared for the incredible attraction he has to quiet, mysterious Wyatt.
Under very awkward and strange circumstances Wyatt and Ethan embark on a tentative relationship. Wyatt is dark, prickly and abrasive while Ethan is light, hopeful, and open. They are complete opposites who complement each other so incredibly well. Their connection, attraction and passion ignite the page. I loved these characters but as a couple they became so much more for me.
I truly loved this story and I can’t wait to see where the authors takes these characters journey!! RECOMMEND!!
