About this listen

I never thought I'd go to college a virgin, but unless something changes—and fast—that's what's going to happen.

In comes Harden Hart, my all-American boy-next-door best friend with an offer to help in a way I'd never imagined.

The boy, who turned everything he touched to gold, had a filthy side to him I'd never seen. Oh, and did I mention he's straight?

We could keep this fun, but we had to hide it from both our fathers. We could smile for the cameras, focus on winning the state swimming championship and maintain Harden's image. Easy enough, right?

Only Harden didn't want to hide. His addiction to our not-so-private hook-ups put everything at risk with his father's planned presidential run, and I risked losing my best friend if anyone found out.

But the biggest risk of all: the risk of breaking my own heart by falling for someone who was never mine to begin with.

Maybe love just isn't in the equation.

Really good listen. 4.5 ⭐️'s

Really enjoyed the characters and story. Love that the turmoil (which was quite tame) was outside of their relationship and it just made them stronger together. While I don't necessarily believe it deserves 5 ⭐️'s, I would say it's a solid 4.5.

Will probably listen again when I'm in a book slump.

Very predictable, just like a good romance novel should be.

The story was supremely silly and predictable, but the performance was quite compelling. It was like eating a big bowl of popcorn.

Narrator did a good job

I think the narrator did a good job by using 2 different tones in the book to make each character stand out. I overall liked the book, wish there was a little more angst/debate over getting together initially. Vance’s character was did overthink things in a whiny/annoying way but I did like the book.

Love Harden & Vance

Another great book by JR Gray. Vance & Harden are best friends & on the swim team together. This book is told from Vance's perspective. Vance is still a virgin but desperately doesn't want to be. That's where Harden comes into the picture. I absolutely adored this bi for you, forbidden, best friends to lovers story. Harden & Vance struggled as most teenagers who are coming to grips with their sexuality do. But I'm so happy they got their HEA in the end! Alexander Amado is a new to mer narrator. He did an excellent job narrating.

Compelling and interesting

This audio book started out very interesting and compelling, but towards the middle and end of the story the dialog seemed to be a bit over dramatic and tedious. I had to fast forward a couple times, which is unusual for me. The reader/performer could have demonstrated a variety of emotions in his inflection, rather than just being so anxious. Even so, it was a nice story and the the reader/performer did a decent job.

Overall worth a read

A good mix of goofy and sexy. It’s predictable but fun. Some corny lines. I listen to the whole book in 2 days and I don’t typically do that so I must like it more than I think.
