Description:
When soccer star Chris Fischer moves next door to an openly gay classmate, he doesn’t realize the wall between their rooms will be so thin he’ll hear his neighbor’s every move. But soon he and Peter become friends, and Chris is intrigued—imagining what happens on the other side of the wall.
Active on the Queer Student Council, Peter Cohen wishes he wasn’t so damn hot for his straight neighbor. He can’t tell if Chris is flirting or in denial or what, but Chris’s innocent overtures lure Peter into flirtation that throws his world into chaos. Peter doesn’t want to date a closet case, but he desperately, passionately wants Chris.
Soon Chris must choose whether to run away from his new feelings or embrace a relationship with the guy he loves. And Peter must decide if he can give his heart to a guy who hasn’t yet figured it all out.
Peter’s favorite night time fantasy moves next door, his name is Chris, but unfortunately for Peter, Chris is straight. Chris is sure he straight, he’s also sure it’s perfectly normal t
o get aroused hearing his gay neighbor masturbate through their shared wall, he’s also sure it’s perfectly normal to wonder what Peter might look like without his pants on.
Chris has less trouble coming to terms with his sexuality and worries more about what his soccer playing buddies might think. Peter worries if being with Chris will equal being shoved back into the closet and if his feelings are stronger than Chris’s are.
I can tell from book 1 this is going to become my new favorite M/M series. The main characters are regular guys going to college, friends who start dating then fall in love. College Boys is a contemporary romance, I think that’s what adds to me liking it so much. There’s no added unnecessary drama, when Chris realizes he wants to really start something with Peter, yes he’s nervous, but he doesn’t go and run from his feelings, he faces their attraction head on. The boy’s relationship builds from their friendship and comes across as very real. The story is a perfect mixture of hot passions and sweet companionship.
