The writing combination of Bowen and Kennedy is an absolute dream, and this book is both funny and heartfelt, with a chemistry-filled m\/m enemies-to-lovers romance that is absolutely gorgeous. An NA read that is a complete standalone, I devoured this book and I loved Keaton and Luke\u2019s story so much.<\/p>\n<p>Keaton is a college student who is gorgeous, smart and wealthy. He plays football, he\u2019s passionate about his studies, and he\u2019s running for president of his fraternity. He also has a long-term girlfriend who wants a threesome for her birthday. Always wanting to be supportive, and secretly really curious to explore something a bit outside of his \u2018normal\u2019, Keaton signs up with a hook-up app and meets a man that sparks his interest.<\/p>\n<p>Luke\u2019s background couldn\u2019t be more different from Keaton\u2019s. His family life is difficult, he is at college only because he scored a full scholarship, and his work as a stripper barely gets him by. He\u2019s also bisexual and enjoys varied and random hook-ups, with no interest in relationships. And he is intrigued by the man he meets on his hook-up app looking for a threesome. Luke isn\u2019t a stranger to that sort of set-up, and his honesty is confronting but so refreshing, but there\u2019s something about the online newbie that attracts him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Logging out of the app last night was painfully hard. So was the state of my dick. You have no idea how hot it is helping a guy explore his sexuality.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A wild flirtation soon begins that is funny, sexy and full of chemistry and fantastic banter, and as they get to know each other from a distance, I could not get enough of the wonderful back-and-forth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>SinnerThree: \u2026 Tell me more about lobster sex, if you want. I\u2019m not picky about sex talk as long as someone\u2019s fucking.<i><br \/>\nI laugh softly. This guy\u2019s funny, I\u2019ll give him that.<br \/>\n<\/i>LobsterShorts: I\u2019m fresh out of lobster sex facts atm. BUT\u2026lemme tell you about sea slugs.<br \/>\nSinnerThree: Omg yes. I can\u2019t wait for this. Hold on. Let me undo my pants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But everything changes when Keaton and Luke finally figure out that they actually know each other in real life. In fact, they are neighbours in the same fraternity\u2026 and they hate each other. What follows is a fun, flirtatious and seriously sexy story as these two enemies become something so much more.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I told Luke that most of me wants to hook up with him again. That\u2019s not the case anymore. <\/i>All<i> of me wants it. Right here, right now\u2014I\u2019ve never wanted anything, or anyone, more.<br \/>\nGoodbye, sexual confusion. Because <\/i>confused<i> is the last thing I\u2019m feeling at the moment. There\u2019s no other way around it\u2014I like dudes.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I won\u2019t go in to details, because you just need to dive in and experience this one. It\u2019s not only a gorgeous romance where two very different people finding something special together, but it\u2019s a great character story with fantastic growth and development as these two guys figure themselves out, learn to follow their hearts and fight for what they want.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>What was I ever thinking? I need this man. And even if being half a couple doesn\u2019t come easily to me, I have to try. Nobody has ever gotten under my skin the way he does. Nobody has ever needed me the way he does.<br \/>\nNot one person.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s terrifying.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s emotional at times, but mostly it\u2019s a wildly entertaining read, and I fell hard for both Keaton and Luke. They are both so different, with well-defined voices, and the authors write them so well! The laugh-out-loud humour is perfectly blended with the emotion, and the love story is sexy and fun, and I couldn\u2019t get enough of these two together!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I\u2019m just a guy, standing on a beach in nothing but his favorite pair of lobster shorts, waiting for the right man to love me.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As if we needed any more proof that these authors are a winning combination, they\u2019ve done a fantastic job with this book. I absolutely loved it!<\/p>\n<p>4.5 stars!<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Reader Copy of this book was generously provided by the authors in exchange for an honest
