Mary Calmes books are my secret obsession. I know exactly what I'm going to get from her and each time I love it and want more!This story is no different. Vincent is an overworked, stressed gay nineteen year old. He doesn't make the best first impressions and seems to piss people off more than anything. Carson is the number one man on campus, the star football player. He can make anyone do anything for him and he's as straight as can be. Until he meets Vincent. Vincent won't be pushed around no matter how hot Carson is. He makes his own way and he's not willing to jeopardize that just for a man.
I think the reason I love Mary books so much is because there's always that one character that is willing to say 'fuck you' when it comes to breaking promises. Vincent, while he wants to meet up with Carson, decided to keep his promise to cook for a friend's birthday instead. I like that because it shows having a SO isn't going to change him or make him ditch his friends. Another thing I loved is how Vincent and Carson first meet. Talk about intense! Carson gets forceful but Vincent won't back down. But yet, Vincent will melt to Carson when Carson gets intimate. It's sweet in a way. Carson is sexy and possessive and aggressive. And I absolutely loved it especially his long term obsession with Vincent.
College is one theme I love to read about because they're so young and the choices they make have a huge impact on their lives. With this story, my only problem was with the lack of anything after the final decision. I sincerely hope there's a sequel to come because Vincent made a huge decision but after that there's no epilogue to show the repercussions of that decision. I would really love to see life after the ending! The book was too short, damnit!
All in all, I absolutely loved it. I'm already tempted to re-read it because it's just so darn cute. I loved the characters and their chemistry. Definitely recommended to those who love Mary Calmes books.
