FULL REVIEW NOW POSTED



M/M are my absolute guilty pleasure!! I should read them more!



This book has everything I love! First both characters are perfect! They are sexy as hell, and they are men who takes no shit!

I haven't read a lot of M/M but I know one thing: sex scenes are the BEST! It's hot, steamy and after reading one you have two options: Take a cold shower or jump on your hubby/boyfriend.
Don't believe me: look at a few gifs I found









See and trust me reading is worse

But let's go back to the story ;)
Noah is back in Blackcreeck after he had to left pretty unexpectedly when he was 13. He left his life but most importantly he left his best friend Cooper.
Right after his arrival, he collide with a truck whose owner is none other than Cooper.
After checking nothing was wrong at the hospital, Noah had to find somewhere to sleep and as a matter of fact Cooper has a room to rent.

Both guys are happy to get back together and they spend some time to catch up. At some point Noah has to tell the truth about his status and has to admit he is gay. He is totally ok with it but he's a little afraid things may change him and Cooper.

When Cooper learns the truth, he reassures his friend quickly that nothing will change between them.
How he was wrong... but if things change it's not in a bad way. Not at all.

Cooper is at first a little uncertain on how he should react towards Noah because if his friend is attracted to men maybe he shouldn't be around the house without wearing a shirt or something, right?
Things begin to be not under control when each guy decides to bring a date home because Cooper didn't reacts well, he didn't like to see Noah with someone else.



I've liked how Cooper is honest with himself from the start. Sure he ask himself a lot of question but he doesn't hesitate for long. He prefers experimented the way he feels rather than to put itself barriers. Of course Noah ask nothing better than exploring the feelings that might develop between them but at the same time he does not want to hide. His last relationship has ended because of it and he doesn't want to go through it again

It's a story about self-discovery, of what you desire but also on other's people opinion.
Cooper is born in a traditional family where he was taught love is between a man and a woman. He fears the reaction of his family. For him, he's not gay, it's only with Noah that he feels a strong attraction not only sentimental nor sexual but which wakes in him feelings of deep and pure love.
