Review: Interesting Read

When I read the blurb for this story I will admit that I laughed pretty hard. I went into this story expecting a funny tale, and it had its moments where at the beginning I found myself laughing, especially when we meet Harold Jacobs and his problem appendage in the shower. Then I stopped and realized just how embarrassing Harold's situation could be to a guy in communal showers especially when he was in high school. I loved Harold for his internal monologue full of so much wit and humor that you have no choice but to love him. Then enters Owen who knows he likes guys but isn't ready for everyone else to know. I was prepared to not like Owen because of this, since I'm not always sure how to feel about stories with seemingly straight guys who turn gay. Ms. Harris pulls this off beautifully, with characters so loving and human that you can't help but be drawn to them. I was rooting for them the whole time. I loved that Owen was at first attracted to Harold on a purely physical and lustful level only to find that Harold was an interesting and fun guy to be around.This is the eighth book in Ms. Harris's Men of Holsum College series and I haven't read any of the others but if this is any indication of how the others are written, I will definitely be picking them up. She presents a college scene that is very true to my own experiences and that makes the stories just that much more enjoyable. The men are hot and witty and I would love to have been friends with them.Pick this up if you want an enjoyable story where the men are hot and they fall in love with enough humor to not take themselves too seriously. It's a truly beautiful love story at the core of it all, and when you toss in hot men you can't go wrong.Originally posted at LAS Erotic Reviews
