Absolutely fantastic!

It is so refreshing to read a story where some stupid misunderstanding doesn't rip lovers apart. I adored these two from the onset and loved how they came to be.

Highly recommended to all!!!

Not one for me this time.
I found the writing a bit clunky at times, the excessive use of role descriptions for Liam ‘the tutor’, ‘his tutor’, ‘his boyfriend’ etc. Othertimes the story seemed to contradict itself - at the start I got the feeling Liam was crushing from afar and they didn’t know each other other than being at the same college. Then later the story refers to them having been friendly for 2 years.
I liked the plot idea of one young man discovering that his ordered ideas of attraction can be changed and one young mans fight for himself and who he wants - just found the execution to be off.
Rock - clueless, naive, bumbling
Frat boys - very stereotyped
Liam - strong and soft, detirmined
It did get a bit more flowing towards the end but also everything got very rosy specactles, even Kody.
