My ARC copy of the book was provided by the publisher in exchange for a fair, unbiased review. So yeaaaaaah, the first 80% of the book was firmly in 4-star rating territory, but the unnecessary horse-shit ending pulled it down to around 3.25 stars for me. “Fuck, yes.” FUCK, NO! What the hell, people?!?!? But right now I just really fucking need to be inside you.” Heath wasn't at fault in the slightest here, so nope, nope, NOPE.Īnd when Heath finally crawled back to Declan, instead of Declan coming clean with a goddamn EXPLANATION, we got sex. Ugh, those are the most dreaded of over-used, tired plot devices in my opinion, so it would be a huge understatement to say that I was NOT happy that the story went in that direction.īut what made it worse was that, after Heath caught Declan secretly ( but harmlessly, of course) meeting up with his ex, it was Heath who everyone in the book seemed to think needed to make things right. Just leave it on the nightstand and I’ll reattach it when you’re done.” This playful and fun story was told in dual POV and had a good deal of steam, so I found myself all in for these two as a couple.Īt around 80% in, the author decided what this carefree story simply must have was a " BIG MISUNDERSTANDING". “Yes, there’s a little latch at the back so you can take it off. “Do I have to do anything special with the foreskin?”

Their former smartass behavior toward each other continued much the same as before, even in the bedroom, which was a breath of fresh air. I really liked how, since these guys had been best friends for a decade, they never really got weirded out by being with one another.


But when Heath decided that they needed to really sell their fake relationship at Declan's birthday party, by exchanging a steamy kiss in public, one bathroom stall later and their relationship immediately changed from faking it to a whole helluva lot more real. Me: He likes riding cowboy? He likes the taste of cum? Do you want me to go on?īen Ryland: Yeah no thanks, that'll do pig. Doesn't need to be naked proof but I need something! Ben Ryland: I still want proof of some kind before I'm totally sold on this heath thing.

As the blurb states: It’s a classic story: Boy meets girl, girl breaks boy’s heart, boy pretends to be gay to get back at girl, girl outs boy to everyone on Facebook… And that was actually a pretty accurate description of how the book got started, as Heath pretended to be in a relationship with his gay best friend, Declan, which set up all sorts of hilarity when they were only *pretending* to be a couple in front of their friends and family.
