After bumping into him several times at a friendโs wedding, Archer accepts the number of the shy guy heโd kept running into at the open bar, not realizing until itโs pointed out to him several weeks later that homie was trying to shoot his shot.
Not wanting to be a dick and to clear the air, Archer reaches out to let the guy know he appreciates the effort but isnโt into dudes, and ends up striking up with a friendship with Eli instead.
When Eli bemoans the fact that he canโt seem to find any cute available men who would be interested, Archer and his frat bros take it upon themselves to set him up on several dates.
Only the lines between Archer and Eliโs friendship start to blur, and Archer realizes that maybe HE was the perfect guy heโd been searching for Eli.

From bro jobs to accidental boyfriends, Trey and the very oblivious Scout were just too cute!

Forced to go on a kink cruise thanks to his meddling sister gifting it to him for his birthday, Adam is none too happy. Sure it would be nice to find a boy to spend the week with, but he doesnโt expect much to come of it.
Except on his first night at one of the mixers, Adam meets the much younger Ollie, who is there with his bestie to celebrate graduating from college before looking for jobs (and trolling for Daddies, of course), and the pair instantly hit it off.
The more time spent together has both Adam and Ollie realizing that their week of fun is much more serious. While their story is a kink one, it isnโt overtly kinky, and I would say itโs the perfect beginner read for anyone wanting to branch off into the world of Daddy/boy relationships. Plus their happy ending was a cute one!
Rent: Paid in Full by Jesse H. Reign
3.5
Struggling to make ends meet and barely getting by, Ryanโs loathsome roommate Miller makes him a proposition he should refuse, but he canโt.
Miller is everything Ryan hates and yet the chemistry between them is intense and unexpected, but heโs in denial and refuses to put a name on whatโs brewing between them.
If Miller wants to waste his money then Ryan is more than willing to use him as a big fuck you. Not that Miller cares, heโs more than a little obsessed with the awkward and angry man, and all of Ryanโs snark and hostility gets him going.
Miller's obsession with Ryan is toxic as fuck, and his method of winning him over was a little unorthodox, but I loved every fucked up minute of their dysfunctional relationship & loved that it ended on a surprisingly sweet note.
Canโt wait for Daddy MacAvoyโs book next!

The One I Hate by Chelle Sloan

Four stars, and they're all for Simon!
This sweet, loveable, golden retriever of a man was absolutely adorable, and I loved his character so much. All he wanted to do was support and make Charlie happy, and girlie did not make that easy for him. The banter and chemistry between them was fantastic, and I loved every minute of their story!

The Husband Experience by Maya Jean
4.0
Three years after the loss of his husband Marcus, Colby is finally ready to get back out there and decides to hire someone from The Boyfriend Experience to play his husband for the week as a trial run.
From the moment he lays eyes on Eli, Colby is an absolute goner. Something about the bratty younger man calls to the possessive and dominating side to him, and the pair spend a hot and steamy week getting to know each other while pretending to be spouses, and accidentally fall stupidly in love with each other.
Iโm typically not a fan of insta-love romances, but I absolutely adored The Husband Experience! This was honestly just so perfect & I canโt wait for Trevor and Beauโs story!

I have loved Quinn since his character first appeared in Greyโs book, and have been impatiently waiting for him to get his own. & it was perfect!
His and Tristanโs story did not disappoint! It was so sweet and steamy, and I absolutely adored watching their friendship transition slowly into more. Hands down my favorite couple of the series.

River and Hayden meet on a dating app when River goes in search of someone looking to sell him tools to replace the ones that he and Zane had purchased after they had been stolen. The pair hit it off, but the communication wires get a bit crossed. River thinks they've been hanging out, Hayden thinks they've been going on dates, and when he makes his move it causes River to realize he's been bi this entire time.
Their relationship was cute, and I loved River going from sweet and silly to just absolutely filthy dirty talk, but there was just too much talking. Not that I wanted this to be pure smut or anything, but I felt like there was more telling that showing, if that makes sense. I mean pages and pages of dialogue/monologue/texts that just felt overwhelming.

Cruz moves to the honors dorms so he can focus on his studies after spending the summer in the jock dorms, and gets stuck rooming with Liam. He's surly and grumpy and walks around with a chip on his shoulder, but despite that a friendship slowly blossoms between the two of them.
When Liam breaks his arm, Cruz goes into caretaker mode, doing anything he can to make sure that Liam is taken care of, even going so far as to offering him a 'helping hand' ๐๐ & while things do unexpectedly heat up between the two, I honestly loved that it wasn't the sole focus and that their exploration didn't go from 0 to 100% given that Cruz was on the ace-spec.
Things were just so open and honest between them as Cruz explored his attraction and sexuality for the first time, and was just so wonderfully and believably done. Their story was also way more emotional than I was expecting it to be with their shared connection through loss and grief, and took me for a ride on the feels train.
Liam and Cruz are just so perfect together, and I cannot wait for more of this series!
