Ren captured my heart straight away. He is a nerd and a little weird. At least, that is what people are always telling him.
For a college assignment, he is going to work together with Maddox. Maddox is a jock, a part of the swimming team.
An emotional little fire cracker in a place where that is frowned upon. He has some things to unpack. Internalised homophobia is not cool, bro.
I read this book in one go. I was invested. The story has more than just romance. They have their own lives and own stuff that is going on. The side characters were fleshed out too. I want to know and read more of them!
If you like Saxon James, Eden Finley, Rachel Reid, go check this book out!
Dire Straights is a guaranteed HEA dual 1st POV college romance featuring double bi-awakening, jock/nerd, grumpy/sunshine, lots of fluff and spice, and an oddball group of friends.
