Another strong entry in Erickson & Hassell's m/m romance series. Two gay vloggers who have diametrically opposite online images are drawn to each other in person, which of course leads to much drama, some misunderstandings, hot sex, and interesting commentaries about personal identity in the age of social media.

A FABULOUS addition to the series

Can I just post a bunch of hearts and call it good? I don't even know how to review this without gushing everywhere. I love a good enemies-to-lovers story, and this one was HOT!!! Who knew Beau was so kinky under that perfect exterior? And Zane - I loved Zane SO much more than I thought I would from glimpses we got of him earlier in the series.

This book left me with a huge grin on my face. I will DEFINITELY be reading/listening to it again. I can't recommend this series highly enough!!!

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! I have absolutely loved the Cyberlove series from Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell. Each book is a standalone story, though the characters are interconnected. Each can easily be read on it's own, but I highly recommend reading in order as they are not only fantastic books, but they give you backstory on the characters and you get to see how far each of them has come.

Beau Starr and Zane are both YouTube stars, yet each of them are completely different in their personalities and approach. While Beau is on the wholesome side, preferring to offer advice and be inspirational in his postings, Zane tends to tell it like it is and overshare every detail of his life. Though these two have always been on opposite sides and can't stand one another, they find themselves drawn to each other in a way that neither of them has ever felt with anyone else. They quickly realize that while they their public lives might be at odds, in the bedroom they are more than compatible. But can there possibly be anything more than hot hate sex between them when they are so different?

I absolutely loved these two! They were so freaking hot together, and Megan and Santino were right when they said this was their sexiest book yet! Seriously I have loved each of the Cyberlove series books, and each has been hot! But Beau and Zane were on an entirely different level! I couldn't get enough of them and I loved the way things started for them. Enemies to lovers romance stories are one of my favorite tropes, and Mature Content is one of the best that I have read. Zane and Beau were so much more though, and the best part for me was seeing these two get to truly know the other and realize that there was so much they didn't know about each other. There was a lot beneath the surface to both of them, and each one had things that they struggled with on their own. I loved seeing them let each other in and find a connection unlike any they had felt before. These two were so different and shouldn't have made sense, yet they were absolutely perfect together.

Overall, this was a fantastic story and each time I think I have a favorite in this series Santino and Megan prove me wrong. Mature Content had me captivated from start to finish and I couldn't get enough of these characters. I would love to see this series go on forever, because each story instantly has become a favorite of mine. Beau and Zane are impossible not to fall for, and if you have enjoyed any of the previous books in this series I think you will love this one. If you are new to this series though, I highly recommend you check them out as they are must reads.

Fantastic read! I loved Beau and Zane. This may be my new favorite in this series. .

everything my gay, youtube obsessed ass needed.

seriously though, this really impressed me! i've always had some reservations about santino hassell's writing. i want to love it, but he isn't big on the sweet stuff. and i love raunchy sex but... again, i need the sweet stuff.

so thank you megan erickson for wonderfully rounding this book out. this was everything that i wanted and more. we got

- youtube culture
- gay shit
- mutual understanding and sweetness

zane was such a fun and relatable character and beau was someone i really empathized with. i loved that their relationship started as hate-to-love for an actual REASON (not a misunderstanding, but a true lifestyle/culture difference) and was eventually remedied as they spend more time around each other really getting to know each other's personalities.

also the sex was fucking hot. steamy. raunchy. perfect.

excited to work my way backwards and read the rest of these.

I don’t have the words to say how much I enjoyed this?
The TEXTING of all things was amazing and I want to read more romance that deals with social media now!

3.5 stars. A nice story with a dip in the middle. It got better near the end. I would have liked for the boys to communicate more sooner. Overall this was a cute series of books.

4.5 stars!

YouTube sensations Beau Starr and TrashyZane run complete opposite type of channels. Beau is a good old boy who flashes his pearly whites and spouts inspirational wisdom to his "beautifuls". Zane is the unapologetic blunt ranter where nothing is off limits to speak about to his "skanks", even his rough and tumble sexual escapades. The only thing they have is common? Their appetite for a little bondage and rough sex. They should never work, but they do, ohhh they do.

Starting off as enemies these two throw sideways shade through their own youtube channels til a night in a hotel room rocks both their world's. Beau just wants to be needed and care for someone, and Zane just wants someone to care about him without personal gain. Tricky pasts cause the major issues, but the two end up falling for each other even when they both are trying to protect themselves from that very thing happening.

The dirty talk in this novel is off the charts hot. The sex is kinky, but no where close to a BDSM novel (which isn't really my thing) I enjoyed watching these two figure out each other since first impressions are not always right. They may not top my love for Kai , but they came damn close!
