Review: SSU Boys are Back with Another Hot Love Story
Rating: 5 out of 5

Maris Black began her SSU series with Pinned and continues it with Smitten.  Both of these books are simply superb and each can be read as a stand alone story despite characters flowing from one book to the next.  In this one, Dan Fisher is asked by Avery Wakefield, a very wealthy student from Savannah to accompany her to the family mansion and be a "pretend boyfriend" for her coming out party at the annual cotillion because she does not want people to know that she has just dumped her latest boyfriend when she found him cheating on her.  While she knows Dan is gay, neither she nor Dan really know each other but Dan agrees to go along with the charade since it means spending a few weeks in a mansion and getting a new wardrobe as part of the bargain.  When they arrive at the mansion, Avery's brother, Julian, meets Dan and at first it is mutual dislike at first sight.  The story follows the developing relationship between Dan and Julian which has many peaks and valleys, but is a love story that grabs you from the start and never lets you go.  Maris Black is also becoming one of my favorite authors in the M/M erotic romance genre.  Hopefully she will continue writing the SSU series since there remains several characters, particularly Seth, whose story is yet to be told.  Don't miss this extremely delightful read and her first book in the series, Pinned.  Buy them, read them and enjoy two heart felt romances as they develop. You will be glad that you did.
