BLURB:

Everyone says kindness costs nothing. It’s a lie. Kindness can cost you everything.

Sebastian
The only decent thing my high school bully ever did for me got him sent to prison. Aidan was a jerk, but he saved me from making the worst mistake of my life, and in return, my parents ruined him. Now that he’s out, I’m determined to make amends. No matter what he needs, no matter how long it takes, I will make it all up to him. But first I’ll have to figure out how to hide my attraction to my sexy, confusing new roommate.

Aidan
Saving him cost me everything. I have nothing and no one—except Sebastian. He’s determined to make good on a debt I never asked him to repay. He’s offering me money, a place to stay, and help adjusting to life on the outside. But all I’m really wondering is…who can save Sebastian from me—the desperate, bisexual ex-con who probably wants more from him than he’s willing to give?

The One Decent Thing is an M/M new adult bisexual romance with lots of heat, angst, and physics jokes.

REVIEW:

After an unjust accusation and conviction, Aidan is finally free. Much to his surprise, Sebastian is there to help and support him.

Four years ago, Sebastian was seventeen, his parents made sure to put the one who saved him in jail. The injustice here was horrible and sad. Jeez, how? Read this story yourself and get to know the details.
Now Sebastian wants to right the wrong, what happened scarred him for life, not only him, also Aidan.

Sebastian doesn’t only shared his apartment with Aidan, but everything he owns.
He’s a mess, he comes with a complicated manual, and somehow Aidan can read it.

Aidan is so considerate around Sebastian, it hurts. Sebastian’s self-esteem is low, he has so many little panic attacks, and let’s not forget the big ones.

Sebastian is loyal, he chooses Aidan’s side. Sebastian is territory and jealous, he can be an awful prick. Aidan is his friend, no one else’s, period! His straight friend, he got feelings for.

In the small space of Sebastian’s apartment, the sexual tension is getting higher and higher.

Gosh, my heart, what a story. Absolutely captivatingly built, not one page was dull.

Aidan deserved the best, after all the mistreatments, he’s still humble, protective, enormously considerate.
A thousand emotions are passing by. A lot is happening, too many things to mention detailed.
I loved the whole picture, so worth reading!
There are some disturbing characters, multiple, I got quite anxious about their actions.
Logical how stressed Sebastian got from them. But Sebastian rose out above himself, protecting what was his, and did right!
This was such a wonderful emotional experience, hurt, comfort, heat, injustice, justice, romance, the parts that mattered were nicely developed. The characters are engaging, I loved Aidan at first sight, sweet Sebastian was delicate and complicated, both were courageous, the secondary characters were well pictured.
The flow was very comfortable, the plot was wonderfully thought out and well balanced!
There’s a quite satisfying denouement and an even more satisfying HEA.
