As long as you’re not thinking he’ll turn gay and fall in love with you.
Why do y’all talk about sexuality like that.
Vinnie stand the fuck up, why are you looking for table scraps from a straight guy.

This is a story about love and labels and how those labels aren't one size fits all. Aaron and Vinnie are wonderful and hot together, so sweet as they slowly fall for each other. Aaron is just so resistant to being labelled gay, that he focuses on the love, as everyone should. Vinnie was patient and his family was great. It was great catching up with the characters from the past stories!

Did not finish. DNF. Due to some of the things said in real life by the author and considering the subject matter and the people who are hurt by the comments made, I am refraining from reviewing this book.
I think it's important to be respectful of the voices assumed when telling stories that impact or may negatively affect marginalized groups. Whenever people express being hurt, I take a backseat and listen to both parties. I listen to those who are hurt and I listen to the person that inflicted the pain. Was it intentional? How was it handled when brought to said person's attention? The dialogue and interaction directly impacts how I may view the story as a result. In this case, I am at an impasse.

Aaron Hall has been a serial dater of women his entire life, usually serial dating several women at a time because none of them ever seem to be able to hold his interest entirely. His latest failure has left him with a half empty house and bills to pay and a huge hole in his dating pool.
Vinnie Rosello needs a change. His life seems to be going nowhere, his job is stagnant, he needs a real boyfriend, and he needs out of his parent’s house. The solution to most of their problems seems pretty obvious. But, Aaron has some reservations about living with a gay man. Vinnie has never lived outside of his parents’ home, and their unconventional lifestyle has always meant a house full of people living, loving, and sharing life.
Vinnie has to adjust to the sudden quiet of a two person house, and Aaron has to let go of his ideas of what being a gay man in the world is really about. The two meet when their friends get together for Aussie Football and post-game bar-be-ques at Aaron’s. They have some basic history, but living together is another thing entirely—especially when Vinnie needs Aaron’s company to properly sleep. Aaron is not so gruff as he’d like others to believe, and lets Vinnie sleep in his bed to get used to the new situation of being without his large family.
They begin to teach each other about their needs. Vinnie sees Aaron as pretty close to his ideal as a man can be—except for being straight. Aaron sees in Vinnie all of the things he wishes the former loves of his life had possessed, namely the ability to make Aaron feel comfortable, loved, and cherished. Aaron can’t be falling for Vinnie. He simply can’t be. Can he?
Changes have to happen. How do you go from being straight and dating multiple women to being in love with another man? An adorable, loving, funny, articulate, shy man with a huge Italian family, who have assumed Aaron and Vinnie are a couple even before they know it themselves.
This is not the typical gay-for-you story. It isn’t a bisexual story either. This is simply a story of two men who have both been missing something their entire lives. They set aside labels. They set aside convention. They accept their mutual needs and a growing love to face the world together. Renae Kaye gives us another story of two men who need, simply, to love and be loved without reservation. The labels society would put on them do not matter. In her capable hands, they do not need labels. They only need our eyes to witness where they go and how they get here. This is a true romance, one I highly recommend. Buy the book. If you enjoy this genre, you just may find a new favorite.

I got this book January 2019 and was excited because it was a continuation to a series I enjoyed.
Then I started reading reviews before I read it which is a habit of mine and was taken aback because I didn't know there were issues with this book.
That made me pause and set the book aside until this month when I needed it for a challenge.
And don't get me wrong, it was entertaining. But from the beginning, with how Vinnie starts things and then Aaron's constant statements, it was uncomfortable. I didn't know what to think or feel. You see books are my haven, I don't really want to think when I read. I worry enough with our world today that I don't want to think when I read.
Call that naive, stupid, etc., whatever. It's hard nowadays to say an opinion because everyone will have something to say about that opinion, lol. No matter what someone will have a problem with it. So I'm not going to add anything else. Read about everyone else's in their reviews or not-reviews.
And enough babbling from me.
