This was the pairing I read five books for, and I wasn't disappointed.

i have to say that i am a little bit conflicted. i enjoyed this obviously. but i think the book should’ve focused a bit more on the teaching aspect. either that or change the blurb.
because it left a bitter taste but i liked this a lot. i even cried a little bit.

“It’s not that you like to be needed; it’s that when you care about someone, you want to be able to take care of them.”

Ugh, this was fantastic. Loved these two so much. Camden and Jude had such perfect chemistry, were a lot of fun, had so much delightful banter, and, well, were pretty damn hot together. Cam is so hilariously cocky, but with an absolute heart of gold. Jude compliments him well, he can give as good as he gets but balances him out with a quieter, gentler demeanor.

I couldn’t stop smiling the whole way through (minus a few tears) and didn’t want to put it down, at all. It was so great to see them both find happiness, love, and a home.

“I love you,” he said a few minutes later. “This…you…it’s more than I ever thought I’d have, more than I ever realized I wanted.”

Theo was also a favourite, that kid was absolutely adorable. So sweet, awkward, and wise all at once.

"Awkward Boy really loves being a part of something…and it’s all because of Friendly Man and Construction Guy. ~ Theo’s comic"

It was also great to catch up with the rest of the crew, and this book wrapped up the series perfectly, even if it was sad that it was ending. The Fever Falls boys will always have a spot in my heart.

Cute romance abouth bi awakening.
But i noticed that reading it out of order in the series lost a lot of the relationship build up and the background and the history of the characters I got the first time I read this and therefore it lost a little of the appeal.

I thought this was a perfect way to end the Fever Falls series which I have, in the main, really enjoyed.

I loved Cam and Jude, I think there's nothing better than someone learning to express themselves when they fall in love, especially when it's like this, which mixes friends to lovers with a bisexual awakening story.

"Cam shook me up, twisted up my thoughts and made me vulnerable with him in a way I'd never been with another person in my life."

Boyfriend 101
the final book in the Fever Falls series might be my favorite of the set or at least equal to my love of the very first book in the series. This one included some of my favorite sub tropes- fake boyfriend, friends to lovers. The friendship was fun and the sex was sinfully hot! Camden and Jude were absolutely fantastic together. I loved that it was low angst and was just an overall enjoyable read from beginning to end.

"With Cam... F*ck , I wanted to devour him, I wanted to know what it would feel like to be devoured by him, and that was scary as hell."

This war a very sweet and nice finale for the fever falls series. Cam and Jude's story was built up from book 2, I liked the development of the love story and the development of each character.

Overall I enjoyed this last installment in this series.

I liked Cam and Jude together. Cam is Sawyer's brother and Jude is Rush's best friend who had been in love with him - but isn't anymore.

These two start out as a kind of...Jude has maintained that he's "straight except for Rush" which...no. Especially when he is attracted to Cam. So eventually he and Cam start a sort of "friends with benefits" thing, but not really. Because the feelings come in pretty quickly.

I gave a star off because, imo, this stretched on longer than it needed to. Eventually it was like nothing was really happening with these two - and it was about Theo, a young teenage character introduced who becomes their friend - and while I liked Theo, this story wasn't about him, so I wondered why the main plot near the end of this was about Theo after these two decided to be together.

If a lot was cut out then this wouldn't have felt like it dragged on for longer than it needed to.

But overall I did enjoy this sweet story, and these two guys together. They had good chemistry - although the sex scenes could have been written better, as sometimes Riley Hart does great sex scenes and sometimes...not, very glossed over and quick.

Overall I'd recommend this, I just wish it hadn't been so long for no real reason and pushing plot that wasn't about our two main MC's near the end.

Boyfriend 101 is everything I could have hoped for for Cam and Jude. What an amazing book to end the series with!

As OFY stories go, this one is pretty much… WOW. Jude and Cam have been dancing around each other for a while, and it was so gratifying to finally see them take their friendship to the next level. I loved the nickname thing they had going between them and I adored how careful and sweet they are with each other, even without the dreaded “coddling”.

I really liked that the story didn’t only focus on Cam and Jude, but also on the importance of friends and family. The strength of Cam’s bond with his brother Sawyer is just inspiring and I loved the talks they had and how they navigated the changes in their relationship now both of them are coupled up. The scenes with Jude and his family (of choice), Rush, mama K, Theo, Jude’s dad… those were all so moving and heartwarming too.
Each chapter starts with a little line from either Henry or Awkward Boy, which I thought was just brilliantly done. I loved everything about Theo, but it was also great to learn more about Henry, even though his journey is sadly not as happy.

The epilogue was wonderful, though bittersweet, gifting us with a final look into the lives of the amazing friends we made in Fever Falls.

I hadn't read the other books in the series, and I think that made it a little hard to follow some of the side stories.
