Loved this one!
These three beautiful humans have such complicated souls and so much to get through. I can’t wait to see them do it together... If only they can make it happen. This was a compelling read. I’m diving straight into book 2!

Book 1 is an emotional, character-driven read that lays the foundation for what I can already tell is going to be an intense duet. At just over 200 pages, this book flies by, but not without giving us a deep dive into the lives of Asher, Breslin, and Landon.
Set three years before the events of book two, this first installment is all about getting to know these characters—not just as a trio but as individuals and in their one-on-one relationships. Through all three points of view, we get to see their motivations, their struggles, and the complicated dynamics that will no doubt explode in book two. I loved how much depth the author gave to each of them, making me feel fully invested in their journeys before they even come together in a bigger way.
I can already tell book two is going to be a rollercoaster, and I cannot wait to dive in!

As your story is extremely sad, Asher is a joke that has everything going for him. He is the top football player is dad‘s in charge of the NFL team. He is a drop dead gorgeous man and in love with Brislin only tragic thing is Kyle a teammate is infatuated with him, and blackmails him with a video of him doing things with Kyle, Kyle assaulted Asher and it was not some thing that he was into at the time. It made Asher question his sexuality, if he was gay or straight all while he was in a relationship with Brislyn. Fast forward a few days after prom. He decides to have sex for the first time with Brislin and shortly after he admits to her that he thinks he is possibly gay because he has not come to her and confessed. What happened with Kyle and what his brain is thinking about his sexuality. He shatters Brislyn’s heart. They split up and then leave to go to college.
Brislin is an art major and falls for a guy Landon, who is a music major and fall is a very strong word because she is still very guarded from what Asher did to her. She didn’t want to let him in and when he confesses that he’s in love with her. She breaks it off and runs away to Europe, with the excuse of it, bettering her career.
Asher in the meantime is broken hearted because the video of him and Kyle comes out while his life is going great and he’s playing football but when the video comes out he loses everything his family, his future, and his football career and he is then forced to get a little one bedroom apartment with the help of his brother And lives a very menial life. He is trying to reclaim his body and figure out his sexuality so becomes the biggest Manwhore in the world when his brother comes to him and states that he has a gambling debt that cannot be repaid because it is a substantial amount and the only way for him not to lose his life Is Asher go play football at the school And make them a winning team so of course he helps his brother. He goes to the school, and finally meets his tutor whom is Landon, after being in a very compromising position with two women in the library, and they are complicated. Friendship starts, but Asher realizes that he is attracted to Landon in a way that he’s never been attracted to someone before, secretly Landon is feeling the same way and is very confused. They eventually at the end of the book start being more than platonic friends and everything is going great they’re experimenting. Landon is figuring shit out, and Brislyn walks in and the book ends so onto the next.

Complicated says it all! This book really blew me away! It's definitely one of a kind. It shows that love can conquer strangest of situations. It is a must read.

Loved it BiG!
This is one of those stories that you hate to see end. I absolutely fell in love with these characters. I truly couldn't put it down. This Authors writing style sucks you in and the world disappears. It's complicated and super hot!
