This is a slow burn romance. While it contains plenty of hot scenes between Cam and Jude, the relationship between the two men doesn't develop until near the end. The story is completely told by Cam's POV. Cam is oblivious to his surroundings, and the most frustration trait is that he uses past hurts which dictate his life. Jude and Cam have been roommates since they were assigned together in their first year. One day, Cam walks in on Jude in a private moment and from then on, can't stop thinking about him. Their friendship slowly evolves into a sexual relationship and while Cam starts to have feelings for Jude, he freaks out and shuts down those thoughts immediately.

I enjoyed to story... to a point. Cam takes a while, a long while, to understand what his relationship with Jude is like. There is very little angst in the book, until close to the end. Soon after they come to an understanding about the start of their relationship and then the book comes to an end. I hoped for more of a commitment between the two men and as a bit taken aback by the abrupt ending. Since this is book one of a series, I hope there is more to the story of Jude and Cam.
