I really enjoyed this story about a quiet virgin who rents space in his home to a guy who is pretty much a slut. Both men change over time as they grow to like each other, become friends, and finally lovers. There's one major misunderstanding, i.e., crisis, but other than that the story is really just a very slow, very erotic buildup of their romance. These authors are great together and they produced a highly erotic and entertaining story with all the elements that make me want to put this on my "go to when in need of comfort" list. Hint - even the early scenes when the MCs did no more than kiss were erotic and fun to read. I definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to read a story that's "heavy". This book was a super easy read with just a touch of heartfail and a lot of heartwarming moments. I really love books where one of the characters is a self-proclaimed nerd and the other is more popular and confident in his abilities. That describes Tom and Cal to a 'T'... Cal needs a place to live and Tom has some extra space for rent, so a mutual friend sets them up.They become friends easily but it's the budding romance that catches them both off guard and it so much fun to watch build. They both have some serious issues to get over, like Tom thinking he's not worthy of someone like Cal and Cal thinking that because of his past he might not be able to do the whole being a part of a couple thing. There are a few hurdles in their path but even if their journey over them isn't a graceful as in some stories, it's gets resolved in their own way, in their own time and OMG when you get to the sex scenes, specifically the one when Cal finally takes Tom's V card, it's so hot... like hard to explain. I really enjoyed the book and as always, will continue to read more by these two authors, because something about their work together has me addicted! These two boys now have a piece of my heart and I don't want it back! I want more of their story though, I wanna see how this thing pans out 5 or 10 years down the road! Definitely a must read for the M/M lovers out there!
