Each book in this series seems so realistic to me. Now granted that thought is coming from a heterosexual woman's opinion on these fictional men's relationships. It's just that Daisy has written these men in a way that they seem so real to me. The emotions these guys go through just seem to me as open heartedly genuine. Part of growing from teen to adult people discover new things about themselves, they meet new people, and some move off.Nick falls into most of the above. He has transferred into Holsom College after spending several years at a neighboring school. He is trying to fit in, get to know new people, and still trying to keep some of his friends from childhood. The obvious thing with one of his childhood friends is that he never realized he was attracted to him.Gabe not only has a high functioning gaydar, but he can read people exceptionally well. He knows Nick is gay. He also knows that Nick has got a serious crush on his best friend. Gabe likes Nick. He thinks Nick is a great guy and would love to be more than just friends with him. Gabe just needs to figure out how to enlighten Nick into something he does not realize about himself.I loved Nick and Gabe. I wanted to scream at Nick a few times. I guess like most people Nick learns things the hard way and sometimes unintentionally hurts those that mean the most while learning. Gabe is a good guy. I hated reading him being hurt. He was the perfect person for Nick though when Nick was on the other side of those hurt feeling though. Nick and Gabe made a great must read couple.I just have to say that Nick and Gabe's first kiss is ridiculously hot! These two... oh my. There are so many things that are new to Nick. Man on man loving is completely uncharted territory for him and reading him and Gabe was just...wow. I mentioned above that this series has a very real feel to me. Everything that happens between Nick and Gabe could easily be something Daisy picked from someone's real life experiences.I received this book from the author for the purpose of an honest review
