Wow great book. I loved it. Chris,bless his heart that age is so hard. I also felt for Seth. I also enjoyed Alex. I don't miss the being young and confused stage. Not saying I know everything now but I know a heck of a lot then I did at that age.hehe Would not want to go back, lol. I would love to see sequel to this book!!

I really enjoyed this short book. It was a sweet romance but with lots of hot sex!
Chris (nineteen) is not going anywhere with his life, undecided about his career and lusting after Seth who does not seem to share his feelings. After being hurt by Seth, he finds himself in the arms of his older (twenty six) and gorgeous neighbour.
Alex has been hurt in the past and had sworn never to give his heart to anyone again but he finds himself drawn to Chris who he finds "Different. Funny. Beautiful." Reluctantly he initiates a very eager Chris into the joys of sex - hot sex and often! But as Seth makes an appearance to stake his own claim on Chris, they all have to analyse their feelings and work out what they really want.
I loved the characters of Chris and Alex, was suitably annoyed by Seth and adored Alex's best friend Marty. And I love the ending where Chris finally started making some decisions and going after what he really wanted.
Plus my mum made an appearance in this book, popping up midway to say..."This is not about a curfew. This is about human decency. This is about acting responsibly. This is about you knowing that I'm not going to know where you are, knowing that I'm worrying about you, and choosing not to call and just let me know that you're alive.". Okay, so it was Chris' mom but I definitely got the same lecture muliptle times from my own mother! :)

I am going to buy this paperback it is just that good. I was confused a few times by the names. Alex and Chris obviously are not very similar but being the same amount of letters and very common names it was easy to get them mixed up for me. Apperently for the author too as a scene or two had flip flopped charachters. Example - in a baseball scene Alex had gone to the batting cages right from work so he bought a new tee shirt and changed from his work botton down. The next scene it is on Chris. Chris is stated to have gotten better at unbuttoning Alexs shirt and removing his tie.. it was just a tiny bit confusing a time or two but not even close enough of a flub to take off any part of the 5 stars! It wa a great book, great writing and I will read it again for sure.
I would love to read about Seth and how he (hopefully) gets over himself! lol

This was an enjoyable read. The characters are relatable, likable and realistic. Chris stumbling through the varying degrees of love we all experience at some point in our lives and finally maturing, able to distinguish what's real love and what isn't which enables him to choose the right guy in the end made me want to hug him. Truly an engaging read I didn't put down until the story was complete.
