REVIEW:
If you want one of those hot, sexy stories that just make your day, this is the one for you. But I will warn you, there are some triggers in it. There is a hate crime and another possible one that is issued to one of the MCs and it causes some emotional distress and paranoia. So please be advised.
Gus wanted to blow off a night and just relax with his friends before the coursework of uni gets started. He knows it’s going to be busy while he’s doing his work and finding a job to help ends meet. But what he didn’t expect that night was to find the man of his dreams in a look. Max was reluctant to go out that night. He really didn’t want to but decided to. And he’s now glad he did as he lays eyes on the hottest young man he’s ever seen. One thing leads to another and they have the best night either has ever had. But Gus runs out before they both wake up and have that awkward morning, only to find out one of the bosses of his new job, is the man he just spent the night with. And they have some things to discuss. Meaning Max didn’t want him to leave and wants more from Gus than one night. For some reason, he wants it all with Gus and won’t be happy until they are locked together for good. But as good as everything is, life has a way of making a good thing tough. But Max shows his love and support by being all that Gus needs and for Gus, he knows Max is it for him. If they can stay the course, it will be a happily ever after for both of them.
This is one of those instalust turned instalove stories that turn out adorable. Max, this big guy, looks like a puppy wanting to follow Gus around and pee around him to mark his territory. Which is quite funny to everyone because he’s never acted that way before. And Gus is just a sweet soul. Super smart and talented, he’s got this personality that just makes you want to bask in his glow forever. So it’s a sweet story. It’s one of those that are sexy and loaded with passion in the bedroom, but it’s more than that. They actually want to take the time to get to know everything about each other. So it’s intimate as well..
It’s a good story. Sweet, funny, sexy and all you could want in a romantic story. I Think you guys will love it.
