Book 817: Better to Believe (Harrison Campus #4) – Andy Gallo

Who doesn’t love a younger brother and best friend fall in love off-limits MM Romance? I didn’t purposefully time it this way, but this one and the next one (Keeping Kellan) both ended up being this trope.

Coury, roommate of Luke (from Better Be True) is on the verge of becoming a professional baseball player, starts spending time with his best friend’s little brother, Liam, fresh out of the dorm because of homophobic abuse and never had a real boyfriend. The close proximity adds fire to the flame Liam has been carrying for Coury since they were young, and helps Coury see Liam not as the little brother that tags a long, but as an attractive sexual being in his own right.

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 813: Cameron Wants to be a Hero (Love, Austen #2) – Anyta Sunday

I was always going to read these. From the second I found out about them from Gay Romance Reviews or when I randomly stumbled across them at some future date.*  With a description like, “It’s Northanger Abbey, complete with a neo-gothic mansion and charming misunderstandings. But contemporary. And gay.”, hell yes I was going to read them.

Both this and Emerett Has Never Been in Love, were adorable retellings of Austen’s works. I’m a little concerned Sunday will abandon the project before she gets to Mansfield Park (even though I SWEAR we met the characters) or Persuasion, like it seems most do (stupid Marvel and Austen Project).
