Super angsty. Which I am not a fan of. Mostly because ansgty means lack of communication skills and one of them behaving like a jerk. Which happens in this book.There are a couple of good aspects, but mostly, negative points.1. This is NOT a gay-for-you story. Seems like it, but eventually we see it...

SpectacularThis book was great. It was well written with a great plot. I loved the build-up of the characters from friendship to beyond. The angst wasn't over done and was very believable. What I really loved about this was that it wasn't riddled with raunchy cliches. It was a romance between two me...

Aaah, what to say, what to say....Good book and a light fun read. A great idea struck the boys - to communicate. Alas, the practical application was at best one-sided, but it made for a nice story and quite a bit of a tearjerker twist towards the end. 4 stars.

Alec a doctor with a temperamental motorcycle with a broken heart and Dylan the mechanic who repairs the bike with a broken past. They heal each other along the way and it's a pleasant journey. Jaymes a new writer to me and I like what I read. Yum!

Surprisingly little angst for a gay-for-you novel, which was refreshing. I liked it and would recommend if someone was looking for a good and (relatively) painless gfy novel.

You had me at "Harley". Sweet GFY book with opposites attract going on. Hot scenes and characters I could connect with.

I have read a lot of mediocre books lately. And this is yet another one. Not bad, but not mind blowing either.I was expecting a lot from reading the blurb and I was a bit disappointed. I thought the fake boyfriend thing would last longer than one party! Dylan eeeaaasily kissed his straight life good...

At first I thought...yeah...no. That's just not believable. But I kept reading because it was so well written and edited. Then the explanations started appearing and, yes, they made sense, the character of Dylan becoming more realistic, the relationship more believable. About 3/4 of the way into the...

WOW! I started this one yesterday, didn't really know what to expect and every sentence I read in this book made me fall in love with it. Everything about it. I thought to myself, what happen to these kinds of easy reads? Where you begin reading and even when there's tension in the air it is still l...
