I downloaded this completely on a whim because (1) it was free; (2) I'm a sucker for a good quick queer romance; and (3) I know Annabeth Albert has a big following & I've yet to read one of her books - well, I'm so glad I did, because this was really good!

Annabeth Albert & Wendy Qualls really know how to turn up the steam! I was pleasantly surprised by how sex positive the book was (the chemistry between Randall & Hunter was great), especially in comparison to some more widely marketed gay romances I've been reading. The storyline was really cute, too - I'm not typically too keen on the whole virgin trope, but it worked well here. I really liked how, for a story that took place mostly within one weekend, this wasn't a case of insta-love - the characters had a quick but natural progression with their relationship that felt real.

All in all, this was a really entertaining novella that was cute & steamy, exactly what I was looking for when I picked it up. If you're in the mood for something quick & fun, I'd definitely recommend this - I'm looking forward to checking out more from Annabeth & Wendy!

Also, I just loved this quote: Love isn't a risk. It's not an equation to be weighed or a gamble to be bet on. It's a chance, one that not everyone gets. And when you get that chance, you should do everything possible to go for it.
