BLURB:
My high school crush, my older brother’s best friend. Now Cass is back to crash my summer alone.
Shawn
When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Cass.
He was broody, with these beautiful eyes. A troublemaker who was infinitely cooler than I would ever be.
Ten years later, I definitely didn’t expect to see him standing at the front door of my family’s house in the Kentucky woods, tatted up and even hotter.
I was supposed to have the summer to myself and my geeky astronomy project, but my brother hired his old friend to do a massive carpentry project on the house.
Just because Cass is straight doesn’t make it any easier to keep my eyes off him. He was always the man I wanted. I just never dared believe a couple opposites like us could attract.
Falling for the Geek is a sweet and steamy M/M romance about an adorkable guy who gets a second chance with the bad boy he always dreamed of. It features stargazing, secret hookups, and discovery for both men on their way to an HEA. Enjoy!
REVIEW:
Cass is looking for someplace to figure things out after some big changes in his life. Shawn is trying to get the next phase of his life started and decides to spend the summer at his family home while he works on it.
First off, Shawn is absolutely adorable. I was completely taken by him right from the start. Cass? Took some time to warm up to him, but he was all right after all.
This is the story of two young me who spend the summer discovering new things about themselves and each other. This is a really cute story, with very little angst and while that doesn’t usually appeal to me, this one was pretty okay.
I liked how Cass and Shawn got closer and closer and took their time about it. I loved their interactions with Shawn’s brother Leo and his best friend Audrey. Both were likable characters who were just genuinely nice people.
It’s not perfect. There were times when I would have sworn it was written by two different people. It was like the whole tone would change, usually during the sexy scenes and then it would all go back to what it was before. It made the flow of the story a little off. I have a hard time getting back into a story once I’m jolted out of it. I kept at this one though because the characters really caught my attention. There were also a couple of editing mistakes, but once again. didn’t take away from the overall appeal of the book.
I loved the sweetness of this story. If you are looking for something to leave you with a big smile, this is definitely it!
