Book 816: Better Be True (Harrison Campus #3) – Andy Gallo and Anyta Sunday

Nico finally gets his turn! Nico, Isaiah’s over-the-top flamboyant roommate from Better Have Heart, is dumped by a hyper-masculine frat boy because of his over-the-top personality, so when Luke, another sporty masculine frat boy needs a roommate (literally same room) for the summer he hesitates, but realizes it’s his only option.

Needless to say, there’s only one bed and so they’re forced to share and continuing sharing through a series of unfortunate air mattress delivery attempts.

Book 815: Better Have Heart (Harrison Campus #2) – Andy Gallo and Anyta Sunday

After blazing through the first book in the Harrison Campus series, Better Be Sure, I knew I was going to read the four book series back-to-back to get a head for a longer galley.

Better Have Heart features Darren, the wealthy frat brother of Jack who grew a spine and went against the douche canoe (more on that later) who was antagonizing Jack, and Isaiah, a scholarship music student who’s decided to buck the system and ask why a prestigious scholarship is closed to his application this year (he’s also tangentially Jack’s yoga instructor, which was a weird intro).

Book 814: Better Be Sure (Harrison Campus #1) – Andy Gallo & Anyta Sunday

I decided to grab this from Kindle Unlimited after seeing Gallo post about the fourth book in the series in Annabeth Albert’s Facebook group. I figured if she approved him to post she must’ve read some of his work  and enjoyed it. Add in that I’m desperately waiting for the next book in Sunday’s Love, Austen series and it was a no brainer.

For the most part, I enjoy campus-based MM romances, especially if it’s a nerd/jock romance. This one wasn’t a nerd/jock but a frat boy and townie which worked and I found it entertaining and a quick read.

Book 795: Keeping Casey (Keeping Him #1) – Amy Aislin

I said yes to this one when Gay Romance Reviews offered it because I love a MM Sports Romance and hockey in particular thanks to Ngozi Ukazu.* And it didn’t hurt that the last book I read by Aislin was a hockey romance and it was a decent read.

Keeping Casey introduces us to Ethan, a demisexual gay man who has a medical condition that will one day prematurely end his hockey career who is in love with his best friend, Casey, an archaeology nerd who has been avoiding the grief of his father’s death for years and happens to also be in love with Ethan. They just don’t talk about it until after Casey volunteers as Ethan’s fake boyfriend because of a homophobic teammate. Love a fake boyfriend story!

Book 791: Fall Through Spring (Winter Ball #3) – Amy Lane

And this just goes to show what happens when you have to eat your words. At the end of my review for Summer Lessons, I said I wasn’t sure Dane and Clay needed their own story and Lane proved me wrong for the most part.

I still wonder how all of this happened when Mason and Terry were getting together, but I guess Dane did disappear for large swaths of the books. The one scene that really gets me though was when Skip called Clay out during a heart-to-heart when they were eating lunch with Mason. Clearly things were a lot further along at that point than it appeared in book two!
