This was very fun, cute, romantic and sweet! I enjoyed it so much!
Jack and Teo had such amazing chemistry together. Their conversations were light but also serious: they could truly talk with each other, and they needed nothing besides one another’s company to have fun. They teased, flirted and bantered, but they were also super soft and sweet to each other. They were a great match and I really liked all of their interactions. I could 100% see the love and affection between them, and I loved how much they both adored each other.
However, there are obviously a bunch of insecurities and uncertainties in the relationship due to the whole Chris drama and also because of Jack’s restrictions to date due to him being a pilot.
I liked this, since it kept me on my toes the whole time to find out how and when they would finally be together FOR REAL. I was definitely swooning because of all the longing and pining these 'issues' created between them!
Nonetheless, sometimes I did get a little frustrated and just wanted them both to realise what was right in front of them. The roadblocks in their relationship just kept popping up, and they never really caught a break. It should have been such an obvious choice to just get together, since they both wanted to, but it took them a long time. And honestly, the way they acted with each other was practically like they were already dating anyway, they just needed to make it official!

“Love you,” he murmured in his sleep.
The words lit up everything inside of me even though I knew they weren’t intentional. What if there came a day when he truly did love me?
My heart skittered around in my chest like a mouse in a maze who was desperate to know the quickest way to the cheese.
I would be the luckiest motherfucker alive.
Also, I absolutely wanted to strangle Chris during this whole book. I literally hate him so much, and I wish him nothing but bad karma for the rest of his life.
It’s honestly why I was so confused why Teo was so hung up on him: the guy had no redeeming qualities, so why was Teo desperate to have a future with him? Especially since he had Jack right there, showing him what a loving and caring boyfriend should look like. How can people be so blind?
“The biggest clue he’s batshit crazy over you? He cried when he thought he’d lost you.”
All in all, I really liked this book: it was super engaging and entertaining! I truly liked both of the main characters and their dynamic was easy, sweet and honest.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

This it the book that got me hooked on mm and on author Lucy Lennox in particular. I loved it so much I read it straight through twice before diving into Borrowing Blue.
That was close to three years ago and I still read any and everything LL writes!

A "no talk" hookup to lose one's virginity, a compassionate nurse and one sexy pilot...
Teo wants to lose his virgibity and Jack wants to hook up.
Those two have a connection, a sizzling chemistry right from the get-go.
Since the hookup was anonymous neither knows the other's name... well... ways cross...
Both make a deal that is not supposes to involve feelings...
This book is wonderful, Teo rambling is adorable, you just want to wrap him up in a blanket and cuddle him. Jack's sister.... oh, I love her

Urgh!
I bought this book outright because it has thousands of great reviews. It was sweet, they were both perfectly likeable, but it was ultimately kind of dull.
There seemed to be an undue amount of time devoted to developing their surroundings and the secondary characters. And, the "bad guy" didn’t even provide any real satisfaction, he was just kind of there and boring. He was never even confronted about the dumb shit he did, and Teo was just still best friends with him at the end - like why?
There were a lot of enjoyable tropes said to be included such as fake boyfriends, friends with benefits. But it was like these were discussed but not really executed, it was weird. I feel like a third of this book could have been cut out and it would have then had a nice pleasing story arc at least. It just kind of limped towards the predictable finish for too long.
So, pleasant but somewhat boring. Nothing to write home about.

My entire fucking dream was standing right there in my kitchen, and the realization hit me in the gut like a two-by-four.
3.5 stars
This was a cute, fun and low angst romance that I had a good time reading but I'm probably not ever going to think about it again.
I hate Chris and just waiting for Teo to turn him down was exhausting because it took longer than I thought it would for Teo to make that decision. I also wanted a clear confrontation with Chris which didn't happen and it left me a little unsatisfied.
But Jack and Teo scenes in the begining are GOLD in this book. I loved them as a couple. There were little ways in which Jack showed his affection towards Teo which I loved. I absolutely adored the conversations they would have. Honestly, Jack stole the show the show for me in this one. He was an amazing character.
The epilogue was amazing. I want all the books I read to have such OTT proposals. The book also had some great secondary characters (except for Chris). Now, I'm gonna go and read that short story of Rourke and Ty.

Virgin Flyer was adorkable and I had so much fun reading it. Teo was such a sweet character and I loved him and his cats. I also believe Chris was an asshole and I'm glad Tee realized that.

I really liked this one, this author´s style fits my tastes well and I love her characters. However I would have been more satisfied, if this one ended a bit sooner. I felt like both the characters had enough info, but kept on stalling. Still a really enjoyable read, but not 5 stars.
