This was such a steamy fantastic read! This totally got me out of my reading slump. I loved both of the characters and their relationship progressed perfectly. I loved both how low angst it was and that they really loved each other!! I would recommend this to anyone it reminded me of game changers in the best way!

If you’re into misogynistic, homophobic, lesbophobic, biphobic, transphobic queer men as your main characters then this book is for you.

Him was such a fantastic surprise. It struck the perfect balance between plot, romance, steam, and thoughtful commentary on identity and acceptance. Jamie and Wes had amazing chemistry, and their journey from estranged friends to lovers felt both natural and emotionally satisfying. 

The romance is full of tension, sweetness, and heat—seriously, the steam in this book is intense. But what made it stand out for me was how it explored sexuality and coming out without ever feeling heavy-handed. It gave space to the emotional realities of loving someone in a world that isn’t always kind, while still delivering a heartwarming and hopeful love story. 

It was a little predictable in moments, which is why I’ve given it 4 stars instead of 5, but overall I really enjoyed it and will absolutely be continuing with book two!
