Cozy, warm, and cute!! Think of a Hallmark movie but spicier! And if you're a sucker for the sunshine/grumpy pairing like I am this is an absolute win! Charlie's sunny disposition charmed me just as much as it charmed Miles. This is a great winter read, full of love and heart and community!

3.5⭐️

I am giving this 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5, but I'll go ahead and round up to 5 !! :)

I bought this book at a cute little romance bookstore here in San Diego (Meet Cute!) - seriously the cutest little book store and my favorite! This book was wrapped up and I was only given a very brief synopsis of the book. It was the first time I ever did this, and I am so happy I did!!

Oh my god... I just finished this book about 3 minutes ago and I'm so EMOTIONAL !!! Ugh I really enjoyed this book, but I LOVED the last 40-50 pages. It was so emotional in so many different ways. Definitely had me CRYING and not at all how I thought this would end.

I think this is the first gay book I have read where homosexuality is seen as a crime and it just makes me so sad. It was truly so beautiful to see a community of LGBTQ together and the fun they have and the acceptance they have for each other. The lack of judgement and the beauty of friendship. A tear jerker from the START. Charlie is truly the perfect character to have in this book, I love him so much. I think Charlie and Miles have such great chemistry it all worked for me. And it makes me HATE being single during cuffing season LOL. I have so many thoughts that I can't seem to gather but I really cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed the last portion of the book holy FREAK.

I see a #1 by the title so I'll have to check out #2 for sure! Definitely recommend this book and the smut that goes with it :) :)
