Cheesy. Two chapters and all inner monologue
Love gay for you. Little pricey for the length, but enjoyable. Read on kindle
too much glorifying of the military and PTSD used solely as a plot device, the book deals with it effects in the most laissez-faire way I have possibly ever read

There's a couple things I really liked (and/or that I found really interesting) about this story that I want to make mention of.
First up, I liked how it wasn't the 'straight' guy suddenly catching feelings that started the 'level up' of their relationship. Usually when I read these bi-awakening/bi-realization books, the romance aspect starts because the person having the awakening/realization starts seeing their friend differently. In here it's not, which I actually thought was nice.
Also, I really like Sloane and Dean's friendship. I always have a soft spot for the physically close male friendships - probably because that isn't something I see a lot in media. I like how, before the romance starts, there's heads on laps and foreheads against temples. It's a closeness and a softness that I appreciate.
I like that Sloane was pretty much chill about the whole awakening/realization and that there was no relationship angst. Honestly, despite both guys being in their mid-twenties, they do act like adults for the most part. And do talk things out - which is always a good thing for me.
This book had a decent chance of getting five stars, it just works that well for me, but the first time Sloane and Dean hook up, they are both drunk. That's a pretty solid no, for me, but the rest of the story was good enough, the characters were good enough, and the communication was good enough that it kept that from being a total deal breaker.
(And, I gotta say, I really like these last couple of romances I've read and how the 'straight' guy just seems to shrug his shoulders and goes with 'it's him' and doesn't really care about the rest. While I do and would love the whole 'I'm bisexual' thing, I do also appreciate the totally chill vibe and the way it kind of feels like gender is not relevant. I also appreciate the fact that if they're going to ignore bisexuality, they do it this way instead of 'this makes me gay now' that I've dealt with before.)
(Side note: I do kind of wonder with how Sloane talks towards the end of the book if he's somewhere on the ace spectrum. I'm thinking he could be demisexual/demiromantic because that's what his words put me in mind of.)

C'était léger, super mignon avec une petite dose de sexe sympa. Je ne me lasse pas de certains tropes qui sont parfaits pour se vider la tête et ma nuit blanche a bien commencé avec cette petite histoire toute mignonne.
Enjoyable. Relatively mature character and there was no unnecessary drama. The cover is very misleading.
Again, I avoided reading this for a while because of the dumb title, but ended up liking it. Much like the firefighter one: minimal plot but with charming, well-developed characters; a little heavier on the sex; author still needs help on the punctuation front. I'll probably keep reading.
E-book version.
Very low to almost no angst in this story and that's refreshing. After reading a few other MM Romances were the characters are torturing themselves this was a true relief.
The writing was good and the characters interesting but there is only one sex scene in this book. Maybe one and a half. I would have love it to be a bit more smutty !

NO! Just hell to read. I did make it 43% of the way through but it was torture. I should’ve known by the cover but I kept reading
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!
