Camden
I’m a fun-loving guy who doesn’t take life too seriously. If there’s something I want, I go for it. Why not? Life’s too short to slide into the grave with regrets. But what I don’t do is go for men who aren’t out and proud. Been there, done that. The only real way to get to me is to hurt my brother, but now that Sawyer’s happy, he doesn’t need me anymore. I’m stoked for him, I am! But seeing my friends and brother paired off is a constant reminder of the one thing I don’t have but desperately want: Jude. There’s something about this beautiful man who insists he’s not into men. Even with my rules about guys who aren’t out, I’ve craved him since the moment he stepped foot in Fever Falls. Now that he’s one of my best friends, that desire has raged into an inferno I’m powerless to tame.
Jude
I’ve always considered myself straight. I wrote off the whole fascination with my longtime best friend Rush as something weird that happened. I’ve been over him for a while now, and the person who helped me was Camden Burke, the flirty man who calls me beautiful. I used to hate getting compliments about my looks, but when Cam does it… Well, let’s say the way he makes me feel is my first clue that the thing with Rush wasn’t a one-time deal. I’m bisexual. And Cam makes me laugh and always listens. Since I’ve been in Fever Falls, I’ve become closer to him than I’ve ever been with anyone, Rush included. So when I decide to explore my newfound sexuality, who better than Cam to show me all the pleasures of being with a man? Only, we get caught, and now it’s not just Cam showing me what it’s like to be with a guy–he’s become my professor in what he calls Boyfriend 101, and apparently, I’m a very good student.
But unfortunately, I have some issues to work out and a few exam scores start slipping. Cam has already graded on a curve by breaking some of his rules to be with me. If I can’t get my act together, I’ll flunk out of Boyfriend 101, and I can’t imagine retaking the course with anyone but him.
REVIEW:
I was hoping to see Jude find himself and find someone and finally let go as far as Rush. I was also hoping to see more of Trey and Theo. They’ve become a special part of these stories too. As much as Cam flirted with Jude and stuff, I knew he was interested, but it was amazing to see how things quickly things has turned around and changed. And seen things no one was really expecting…This is an emotional story though, so you will need the tissues. At least I did.
Jude has been getting flak from Cam from day one. Being called beautiful always bothered him from other people, but somehow from Cam it’s different. And trying to come to terms with that, has been impossible for Jude. But he loves the relationship he has with Cam. They’re basically best friends. Jude has finally been able to admit things he’s never admitted to anyone else. And the same for Cam. They’ve got people they’re close to. Cam, obviously with his brother Sawyer, and Jude with Rush. But the problem for Jude is finally coming to terms with how he really feels about Cam and if he can go through with what he wants with Cam. And what will it finally mean for him. And with Cam it’s just as bad. Sure, he’s fooled around with others will waiting for Cam but no one has ever gotten to him the way Jude has. But can he show Jude that he can be everything Jude needs instead of Rush? And can Cam himself get over how he deals with his ex?
I knew there was a connection with Jude and Cam. Neither, I think, really wanted to delve at how deep it went for either of them, until one night when things drastically changed. But even then, it was still hard to let those walls down for both of them. Despite being so outgoing and a huge flirt, Cam had his own baggage to deal with as well as Jude. But what I love about these two even more, was no matter what they were dealing with with themselves, they were there for others, like Theo. Theo got a big brother he always needed, and before he knew it, he had two. And then a whole lot more.. But you have to read about all that. Just know, this story is really special in a lot of ways, if you haven’t already read it. If you haven’t kept up with this series, you need to be as well. These guys have a way of touching your heart in ways you never thought about. All these guys are special, and when they thought they had no one else, they made a family of their own. With all their friends and what little family they had. And it made all the difference to a whole lot of people.
