I love Marty, I love Dalton, and I loved this book! These two are total opposites attract, but they work so so well together! Dalton helps Marty slow down and Marty helps Dalton loosen up and have fun. I love how low angst this was, and how much I genuinely laughed. Both Dalton & Marty are honestly hilarious!

The authors turned up the heat for this one. A very enjoyable read - Marty is a great character. I love the inclusion of text messaging into the story, I wish more authors did that.

So funny and sweet. I thought I was going to hate Marty at first, but he’s so fucking adorable. Delightful read with very little angst!

This series is such a blast. Marty is an excitable frat boy with undiagnosed ADHD and he's decided that in order to improve his grades like his frat brother, Trey, he needs to be gay like him, too. So, he heads over to a rival frat to seek out Dalton, an out and attractive pre-med student who recently got dumped by a long-distance ex who was a big jerk. Marty is very much like that dog in the movie "Up" when he sees squirrels, and he's actually just as excited when he sees squirrels. It's adorable. After dealing with the d-bag frat down the street together, Dalton decides to humor him. 

The two of them start hooking up and Marty's bi-awakening is anything but fumbling. If you like golden retriever characters, you'll love Marty. Dalton is a bit more serious, but Marty shows him how to have fun. They're so cute together! 

🔥: So steamy! These two have plenty of medium-paced graphic scenes together and they just get more passionate as they go. And Marty just makes everything more fun. 
😆: You'll have a hard time not smiling during this read. They're just so damn adorable!
😭: No tears! 

I'm loving these characters and I can't wait to see what comes next. They're all so much entertaining!

And my plans might be crazy, but they always worked out.

I’m sorry I love Marty.

He’s literally the definition of golden retriever boyfriend. Also that bitch is the poster boy for ADHD.

That man really came in swinging. Really just saw a cute guy and was like «hey will you be my boyfriend?» and I have to respect that energy and timing.

I have not laughed so hard at a book in so long. Dalton is the pre-med golden boy on Greek row. Marty is the pre-law chaos demon of Alpha Tau (but usually in the nicest way). While Dalton is nursing a broken heart from the humiliation of a public dumping by his cheating boyfriend, Marty is looking to emulate the habits of a successful gay frat brother. And that means dating Dalton.

This book was a delight from start to finish. I loved Marty’s character so much. He is the personification of a golden retriever puppy. The way his ADHD brain is treated as something special that brings joy to Dalton’s life is great. I highly recommend this low angst romp.
