BLURB:
History will repeat itself if I fall for another straight(ish) guy.
Isaac
When my roommate-to-be opens the door wearing nothing but a wet towel and a smile on his face, I only know one thing for sure: my world is about to be turned upside down.
A wrestling jock, a hottie, and as straight as a plank, Hunter is not the guy I should want. But all the shoulds and shouldn’ts fly out the window when it turns out that Hunter is actually a huge geek and not nearly as straight as I thought.
The fact that my high school crush asked me to wait for him until after college only makes my problems worse. But some terrible timing and an unlocked bedroom door end up being less of a problem than the ticking clock.
Can this college-only fling really be all that I have ever wanted?
Hunter
My new roommate is a total cutie, which is the weirdest way to describe a guy when you’re straight.
The more time I spend with Isaac, the less certain I am about everything I thought I knew. Either I am not myself, or I never have been. The weird thing is, I’ve never felt more alive.
It doesn’t matter, though. A no-good, terrible, horrible guy from his past leads him on with the sweetest promises and I’d be a fool to get involved.
Yet I need to have him, even if it’s for a little while.
The Geeky Jock Paradox is the fifth and final book in the College Boys of New Haven series. It’s the perfect match for all fans of college MM romance, high steam and low angst, bisexual awakening, and nerd/jock pairings. It features the sweetest the-right-one-was-there-all-along moment and a very happy ending. All College Boys of New Haven books can be read as stand-alones and in any order.
REVIEW:
The final installment of my college boys!
Isaac has had enough of his cheap little room. College is almost done for him and his long wait for Matt to sow his wild oats so they can finally be the couple he promised to be. But when he finds a new place with the drool-worthy roommate in just a towel it’s time for him to sow a few oats! Waiting for his special one is over and Hunter fits the ticket when they both realize it.
Isaac was a smart buy but a lifetime of longing for his best friend lead him to live life with blinders on. I’m thankful that Hunter not only took those off him but opened his eyes to what real love looked like and the possibilities. My only problem was that they both knew but were too afraid to open their hearts to the truth. A truth that was beyond obvious after Isaac’s emergency trip back to Oregon. They had weeks where Isaac had realized the true Matt and where his heart was leading him. Their final reunion was sweet but they shouldn’t have let it get to that point. It was beyond frustration that, instead of communicating, something they were both being schooled to do, they just dreaded those final weeks and the end.
I was pleased with the last part of the book and the happily ever after both of them deserved. I really liked both guys but just took too long to get to their truths for a higher rating.
