BLURB:

I keep falling for Dallas, and it’s not just gravity’s fault.

Dallas

Kai’s nothing like I expected.

The scrawny kid I once knew is gone, replaced by a nerdy, curious young man who crawls deep under my skin. The moment he enters my life, he disrupts everything.

I don’t do attachments. I don’t do dates.

There are so many other college guys to keep me distracted.

Yet I can’t get him out of my head.

I shouldn’t want my best friend’s little brother. But I’ve never been great at resisting temptation.

What starts as messing around in secret, soon becomes a lot more serious. I’m gambling my friendship and risking more than I should. But I’m falling, and I’m falling hard.

Kai

I’ve had a crush on Dallas since I was old enough to crush. He’s my oldest fantasy; my only fantasy. He’s also an obnoxious, insufferable, smug jock with the stupidest adorable dimples and a gorgeous… Uh… Where was I?

Oh right, he never noticed me except when I was the punchline of his jokes.

He’s also the very definition of a guy I shouldn’t want. Just ask my big brother; he warned me time and time again not to look up to Dallas. He’d lose his mind if he only knew the things Dallas and I did when the lights were out.

But Dallas and I have an agreement: no strings attached. That way, we get to have fun and nobody needs to know. I get to live out my fantasies, to get them out of my system. No harm done, right?

Yeah. I was dumb enough to think my crush on him wouldn’t come back to life. It’s not gravity that’s pulling me in.
Now I’m falling for him faster and harder than ever despite knowing what’s at stake.

The only way this ends is with a lost friendship and a broken heart.

It’s too late anyway. I’m in free fall already.

The No Strings Theory is the fourth book in College Boys of New Haven series but it can be read on its own. It is a full-length story featuring best friend’s younger brother, forbidden love, nerd/jock relationship, close proximity, and the happiest of endings. Sink your teeth into this sweet and steamy romance.

 

REVIEW:

Yippee! Another journey back to New Haven and some of our favorite jocks and nerds!

Kai is finally in college and open to explore not only his scientific mind but his body and sexuality without his mother and brother hovering over him like helicopters to guard and protect him. Don’t get me wrong, Kia loves his family including Collin, his mom’s wonderful boyfriend. But a guy needs space and he’s finally going to get it. No rooming for him with his older brother Jordan. Kai set his college rooming hopes on joining the Delta Kappa Phi fraternity at Montgomery House. When he discovers he’s not only chosen to join the fraternity but will now be rooming with his brother’s BFF Dallas, the man of his teenage dreams. Now how will he keep his feelings …and lower regions in check when his fodder for years is right across the room?

I loved how these two danced around until the sexual chemistry had no choice but to ignite in a huge ball. But they know the other is off limits even though Dallas is not only his roommate and frat brother but also sworn as his big brother for the fraternity. Dallas is a well endowed man whore. He is an sex app dream man. One and done is his mantra. No repeats has worked well for him. And sweet Kai sure had an eye opening first time having sex. I mean who would have ever guessed that a cock ring and orgasm denial would be on the agenda. In Dallas’s defense, he had absolutely no idea that Kai was a virgin (communicating wasn’t much of a factor at first) but he did seem like he was remorseful when he did figure it out and went out of his way to be a bit romantic and communicating more after that.

I get where Jordan was coming from setting his little brother as off limits with Dallas. He knew who and what Dallas was and his nerdy little brother and his mom were his responsibility to take care of when his dad walked out. Those are hard things to let hold of. What he didn’t see was that  both Kai and Dallas grew and changed the other in positive and mature ways.

I will warn you, these are definitely not two sweet, innocent college boys. They like their toys, something that was hilarious to watch when Kai’s was discovered, and weren’t afraid to be a bit kinky with the other. Nothing too out there but definitely spiced up their very active sex life. These boys enjoyed sex immensely!

It was nice to get a glimpse of Liam and Miles from The Two Stars Collision. Each of these books in this series are easy to read as a stand-alone but why when they all are so good and fun to read. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.
