cute story. the audible version was a bit distracting because everyone was SUPER COCKNEY and east London, and some weird stereotypical brit that I don't think I have ever met before!
however that's the only reason for 3 stars - the storyline was great and I love a mm story in an interesting location, with travel

ktomp17's review against another edition

This was a great story! I really enjoyed the concept of someone from Browerton studying abroad. Rafe travels to England for a semester, and he has plans to cut loose and meet guys while studying. Instead of becoming a player, he meets his flatmate Eamonn, and develops a great friendship and eventual relationship. Rafe and Eamonn struggled with how to have a relationship with Rafe returning to the United States, and I thought it was written realistically. It was nice to see Rafe not give up his dreams, and it was nice to see Eamonn grow and make his own path. I love A.J.'s writing, and I'm so glad there was another addition to the series.

I really liked reading Rafe and Eamonn's story. I liked how brave and excited Rafe was to try a new thing and go to England for a semester. I understood Eamonn's struggle to become the Eamonn he wanted to be versus the more practical financially secure route. The way they both inspired the other to grow, they didn't push, they didn't force it, it was a natural progression. I have some sympathy for Eamonn's ex, but not much. He was a jerk and I judge Eamonn and his friends for being so welcoming when he pops back up. They should've made him work for a warm welcome. I really appreciate the ending, I LOVE that go their separate ways and take the time to really think and make choices without being blinded by the first rush of new love. I should say, I didn't realize this was a spin off of the "Browerton University" series, which I am not caught up on. I think Rafe is introduced in Book 4, but I can't be sure. Having said that. You don't really have to read that, to read this. I wasn't lost at all and aside from a phone call, nothing in the previous book is a big deal in this book.

To be honest this is probably more suited for American readers, as a British person reading this I couldn't really get over the terrible stereotypes.
This is all about Rafe who's on his way to study abroad in England for 3 months, away from his over-protective parents. But he's only got one thing on his mind and it's definitely not studying. He can't wait to begin operation: Slut. Then he meets his new flatmate Eamonn and immediately a connection forms between them.
This is a light, and fun read, there is some angst but nothing OTT. The romance is super cute and fun to read about. Honestly though, like I said earlier I couldn't stand the stereotypes and I couldn't get over the cheesy dialogue that happens. Not for me.
