I liked it, didn't love it.
The main characters were okay. The side characters were cliche and I found myself rolling my eyes a fair bit. The writing for me didn't flow well at all, it was tiring to read.
Glad I read it but wouldn't read again.

Enjoyable book. Love this trope. Included a lot of personal favorite themes. Nothing that stood out in particular though. Maybe finding a deeper connection to the characters would lead to a more meaningful and memorable read.

3.5 stars. Despite the ridiculous title and the sometimes overly descriptive language, this somehow worked for me. Even though it was very Gay For Only You, the friendship between Dean and Sloane felt special from the start and the ensuing development of it organic. The secondary characters were lovely, Sloane's mom and Marco (can we get him an adorable boyfriend of his own?) in particular and I'm definitely interested in reading more about the Men of Fort Dale.

This was really cute. I loved Sloane’s mom’s support for his relationship. Also thought it was really cool that Sloane never had an identity crisis. Pretty darn adorable, if ya ask me!

An okay book. Nothing great or surprising. Very predicable and maybe even a but bland. Writing was also pretty average.

Just fine

This was a short read where everything happens at warp speed.

Dean and Sloane's initial sexual encounters were more uncomfortable to read than they were steamy.

I didn't enjoy reading about Dean holding a torch for Sloane for all those years or how Dean would be a doormat for Sloane no matter what. I wish their relationship happened more organically.

I really liked this book. Sloane and Dean have an extra close, some may say too close, friendship. They are extremely comfortable being intimate with each other. I enjoy the whole "gay for you" trope, mostly because I believe people can find that one exception, where it doesn't matter the body but the person. This is that. Sloane is definitely gay for Dean, not gay. I liked both characters and their unique personalities. It was a fun book to read. I'm going to check out the rest of the series.
