Brandon is a pansexual college student who has a one night stand with a mysterious stranger. Great chemistry between the characters. A lot of tender moments amongst the "spicy" senses.

I received this book as an ARC. I had a few of my favourite tropes - Instalust turns to Insta love, a himbo and a protective vampire, good friendships, and a wee bit of BDSM exploration. Overall a surprisingly sweet read, which I hope gets further development into a series!

The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars was because there were some editing issues (missing words, words out of order, words that were not meant to be used, ect)

I have some mixed feelings about this book and so this is one of the few times where I have a conditional rating! As a standalone, I would rate this book at 3* however as the first in an ongoing series I would rate it as 4.5* so I will go with a 4 for compromise.

I loved the idea of Gage being a goth and blending in with college guys at a party and I thought that was just fantastic. I loved the dynamic between him an Brand and the way their relationship started to develop. The kink element between them is good as well but I would love to see this develop if the story progresses.

My main issue with this book is the ending and that is what leads to the lower rating. The author notes that they are happy to continue this series and I really hope they do however if it remains as a standalone however the ending is much more of a HFN rather than a HEA and there are a lot of questions that need to be answered.

I really hope the author decides to develop this book into a series as there is so much potential for Gage and Brand here and I would love to see where their relationship goes from here and how they deal with the numerous issues that are bound to come up.
