If you're looking for a short, sexy read, Str8te Boys is an excellent choice.  I don't care about the tropes and stereotypes that other reviewers have faulted this book as having.  I just cared that the two main characters had a believable emotional connection.  After sharing an apartment for four years while going to college, and playing together on the school's soccer team, Duke and Mav had indeed developed a strong, credible friendship.  The physical attraction that develops is based on that friendship, and even though it blindsides one more than the other, it feels believable.  The story is obviously about discovering or uncovering things about your sexuality that you hadn't realized were there, and then trusting your heart as you fight for your HEA.Using the game of gay chicken as a guise for exploring their sexuality, Duke and Mav steamed up the pages on their way to falling in love.  I enjoyed reading their sexual journey, and certainly rooted for them to end up together.A great, quick read.
