 I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in and had me engaged from beginning to end. I loved these two! Kayden and Maddox were great and they definitely have that opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine thing going for them and it worked so well. This one is a slow burn as Maddox was intending to keep to himself and not make friends or really participate in the college experience. Kayden is full on sunshine with that golden retriever vibe that continued to work on Maddox's walls and sneaking through and breaking them down. I loved watching them get to know each other and the feelings to grow. It is a double awakening for them both as they end up realizing that there is more to friendship between them and figuring out how and when to take that step. I really enjoyed getting to know these guys and watching them figure it out. I love the safe place that they each gave the other to be who they are and accept them flaws and all. Great read and can't wait for the next one!
