Straight Guys #16
Just a Bit Crushed
Cameron Richter has everything exactly the way he likes it.
He's a Formula One World Champion. He has money, fame, respect—and absolutely no patience for spoiled rich kids who know nothing about racing. Like Scott Palmer, the ridiculously wealthy, ridiculously handsome American heir Cam is forced to tolerate as a VIP guest.
Scott has never met anyone he couldn't charm—until now. And the more Cam glares at him, insults him, and acts as though Scott is the most annoying person on the planet, the more Scott wants to get under his skin.
Cam wasn't supposed to become his obsession. Scott is into pretty twinks, not bossy, homophobic straight men who could bench press him without breaking a sweat.
Except their mutual dislike quickly turns into an irresistible attraction, one that could destroy Cam's career—and might be the only wreck he can’t walk away from…

Review:
Just a book about 2 men who become obsessed with each other, and I am all here for it. I swear AH writes literal dopamine and crack into her stories because I just consume them and am left wanting for more.
I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed Scott and Cam. They both have prejudiced issues, they both struggle, and they both become so stupidly inafuated, fixated, and besotted with each other. Only wish the angst had been more and their inner conflicts properly addressed and developed. Ending felt too rushed.
Now as usual, I reread all my favorites and let that sustain me until the next AH comes out.

No one does possessive obsessive attraction like Alessandra Hazard. The world just falls away and all the two main characters see is each other 🥰.
Cam doesn't know why he is drawn to Scott when he's typically very uncomfortable with gay men. He doesn't want to be homophobic, but he's never had a gay friend before and doesn't conduct himself well around Scott. To be fair, he doesn't conduct himself particularly well around anyone- Cam is a grouchy, sensitive, moody person at the best of times. He also dislikes Scott for being a privileged ponce who was born into wealth. So naturally, the best way to maintain their friendship is to put Cam through gay exposure therapy 🤣. It starts with cuddling on the couch, and quickly escalates to brojobs and sending dickpicks.
The two men are in an unenviable friends with benefits situation where one of them is deeply closeted and struggling with his sexuality, and the other is grappling with long-founded personal beliefs about what it means to be 'acceptably gay' in society. While the book focuses on the attraction and obsession Cam and Scott have with each other, I do think they each have specific areas of personal growth that they need to engage in to further their relationship. But how can 2 men in the public eye hide their growing devotion for one another? When circumstances force them apart, it's up to them to decide what's worth fighting for, and if they are able to get each other go.
I really liked the book. AH is in a league of her own and while that inspires a lot of haters and negativity, I find her books very enjoyable to read. They won't be for everyone, but for me, any one of her books can cure a book slump instantly. She has a way of taking unlikeable homophobic jackasses and making them feel human. It's not easy for some people to change their entire worldview just because they meet a man who they develop an intense attraction to. Cam never intentionally hurts Scott while he's figuring out his sexuality. It's a bit frustrating that they REALLY take their time to really explore their friendship and physical connection before delving into emotional intimacy, but that's what makes the book so fun to read. If this was a real couple, I'd start following Formula 1 just to see more of them 💖.
ps: Hearing the 'straight' guy beg his friend to call him by his nicknames again rewired my brain 🥰.
“We just click, you know? I like being around him. It feels—good. Right.”

With Cam, it felt different. He was different. Special. His. His friend.

Something important had been ripped out of his life without warning. Something he couldn’t actually live without.

"You’re never getting rid of me now.”
A slow smile spread across Cam’s face. “I was rather hoping I wouldn’t.”
ps: Hearing the 'straight' guy beg his friend to call him by his nicknames again rewired my brain 🥰.
Cam mouthed the back of his neck—practically chewed on it. “You used to call me—words. You don’t do it anymore.”
Scott frowned, confused. “Words—what—you mean endearments?” Silence was the only answer. Taking it for yes, Scott turned onto his back so he could see Cam’s face. “Really, babe?” he said, a smile tugging at his lips when he saw the color high on Cam’s cheekbones. He looped his arms around Cam’s neck. “You want me to call you baby? Darling? Love?”
Cam’s expression became pinched, but he didn’t say no.

I was putting off writing this review because I think Alessandra Hazard's books are like junk food; you wolf them down, and it's so so good, and so familiar, and delicious, but its all the same stuff in the end. I think as someone who's probably read everything in this author's catalogue at least twice, I've started to become very familiar with her distinct writing style. and sadly, my brain is starting to come online and realise that all the characters are becoming the same person, and I can't rave wholeheartedly anymore :(
I specifically remember the scene were Cameron calls Scott ridiculous;
"the most ridiculous person I've ever met" - I swear this exact scene happens in almost every book; character A is being endearing and character B calls them ridiculous. There are other examples of this repetitive writing trope, but I digress.
That being said, I still could not put this book down and finished it in one night, and I am so so SO very excited for the new series she teased at the end of this book. Very curious for what it could be and I hope she gets through the writers block because I know I will eat it up anyway

Guarded was a bit of a miss for me and I don't even remember who Scott is... but you bet I'll be here on release day

Just a Bit Crushed is book sixteen in the Straight Guys series by Alessandra Hazard. I’m sure I’ve said it before but I always forget how much I love these between releases. I loved this one so much. No one writes obsession and co-dependency like this author. Once I started reading, I literally couldn’t put it down.
Cameron Richter is a Formula One race car driver. He is twenty nine years old and is the reigning World Champion. He is straight and due to his upbringing, has pretty strong feelings about the gay community. When he is told he has to play nice with a wealthy VIP and give him a ride around the track, he is not happy about it. Especially when he realizes his guest is gay.
Scott Palmer is twenty eight years old. He is the only son of the owner of Palmer Corp. Scott hasn’t really taken an active part in his father’s business but does enjoy the percs of wealth. He does help with organizing some charity events though. Scott knows nothing about Formula One Racing but when he is invited to a race, he asks for a ride and to meet the current champion.
When Scott realizes that Cam has some negative opinions about him, he is determined to change his mind. Add to the fact that he just enjoys irritating him, getting under his skin. The more time they spend together, though, the closer they become. Cam finds himself thinking about Scott way more than he should be, craving his company. He’s straight. He is NOT attracted to Scott. Or is he?!
This book was amazing and hot as fire! There are no gay drivers in Formula One. Not to mention that being gay is actually illegal in some of the countries they race in. But once these two give in to the chemistry between them, nothing will get in their way, until it does. As I said, I couldn’t stop reading. I loved both of these guys! We also hear a little about the couple the next book will feature. I can’t wait!

Cam & Scott
storywise nothing to write home about, BUT still kind of thrilling and intense on the feels. the very reason AHs books always feel like catnip and the only book recently i literally devoured.
the only thing that really irked me to no end (but that’s a general ick of mine) and as if calling an asshole pussy isn’t bad enough most of the time, calling pecs boobs and tits is not floating my boat at all. *lol
otherwise it was gloriously smutty, hot and desperate as always. 🔥

Seriously, what does Alessandra Hazard put in her books, why can't I put this down?! Even though it's as simple and shallow as ever.🤪
Predictable? From the first page. Character growth? Virtually non-existent. Deep conversations? Are we talking about physical depth here? Real-world significance? What's that?
Somehow, it just flows so smoothly. It strikes the perfect balance between smut and angst—delivering just the right amount of heart-flutter and heart-ache. Her story has zero filler—every single plot point is tightly wound around the development of the MCs' relationship. And best of all? She never drowns me in endless, agonizing pages of internal monologue.
This is basically an electronic Big Mac🍔—cheap, fast, and it gets the job nicely done when you need it.😋

Scott es muy diva, tiene que ser alguien que sepa manejar todo eso, desde que leí que pretendía salir con Gaiden a una cita al cine y estaban en la escena de la peli de terror donde ambos se asustan, dije mi amer tu cita también está en busca de un macho porque obvio bottom x bottom se pintan las uñas 🫦

“Well,” Cam said, smirking a little, “I wouldn’t go that far. You were extremely annoying when we met.”
“Says the pot to the kettle! You were incredibly rude! You acted like–” Scott cut himself off, noticing the strange, fixated look on Cam’s face. “What?”
Cam’s thumb stroked his cheek again. “Nothing. I just missed looking at you.”
trust Alessandra Hazard to bring me back from a slump and consume the book in one sitting 🧎🏼♀️🧎🏼♀️ although i loved Undone (one of her recent releases), it’s been a minute since i was completely invested in a book in this series (my last favorite was book 12) and Scott and Cam had me glued on the page the way i was with my older favorite AH works. the glimpses for the next pairing has me excited af too!! i’ll never say no to enemies/rivals to lovers. 🥹

I did enjoy the story, especially given that it’s from AH, but I feel like I had pretty much figured out the whole story by halfway through the book.

Tropes: grumpy/sunshine, hostility to friends to lovers
Feels: 3/5
Steam*: 3.5/5
Kinks: praise, feminization fetish, touch starved
Angst: low
HEA: HEA
Pairing: MM
Triggers/potential icks/content warnings/representation: internalized homophobia, homophobia, third act break up, unsafe sex
Cheating between MCs: No
Any other cheating: No
Other person drama: they were both hooking up off page with others until about 27%. They were interested in each other and still hooking up with others, which is an annoyance to me. It's kind of implied that they didn't hook up with others once they started hooking up.
4 stars
Scott is 28. He is a spoiled rich kid, who dresses well and likes to party. He's gay. He exclusively tops, but is that really what he wants? His dad is only okay with him being gay if he is presenting a certain image and isn't coming off as a sissy bottom. The dad is homophobic. Scott also works for his father's business and does charity work. But he also really enjoys a good time. He falls in love all the time, he has a new boyfriend almost every week.
Cam is 29. He is a formula One racer, and he's very successful. He's always identified as straight. His instinct is to be homophobic, but he wants to be better.
Cam meets Scott because he is pressured into giving him a tour. They clash at the start, but Scott is charming and Cam is weirdly fascinated by him. They keep running into each other at sports events and keep spending more and more time together and texting each other. And soon they are really close friends, really touchy feely friends. While this connection is being built, they're both hooking up with others, but they are both jealous. Then one night they get drunk and Scott ends up getting Cam off and that leads to more hookups, which become more mutual and personal as time goes on. They are both obsessed with each other, touch starved for each other, craving the other person's attention.
But then things go to s*** when Cam is nearly outed and cam has to step back for his career and Scott ends things. Which Cam doesn't take well, because he doesn't want it to end.
I didn't love the sex with others in this book. And Cam's homophobia was not attractive. I wish Scott had also had a moment where he stood up to his dad, cuz that plot line felt unfinished. But this was an Alessandra Hazard book, and the connection and intensity of feeling that they had for each other was really enjoyable. I am also weak for touch starved couples.
Some notable moments:
"Will was watching them like a hawk, something surprised in his expression. “Oh, right,” Scott said. “Will, meet Cam. Now excuse us, we have to—eh, talk.” And taking Cam’s arm, he dragged him away. Cam let him. Scott half-steered, half-pulled him into a room down the corridor before slamming the door shut and shoving Cam against it. The next moment, his mouth crashed against him, all tongue and teeth."
"It had been more than a month. More than a month without hearing Scotty’s warm laugh in person. More than a month of dry texts and unanswered messages and wondering whether Scott still gave a fuck. And now he was here. Actually here. Close enough to touch. Cam’s pulse kicked up. His first instinct was immediate and overwhelming. Find him. Talk to him. Ask him why he hadn’t told him he was coming. Ask him who the fuck Nico Laurent was and why he was putting his dirty paws all over Scotty’s body."
*FYI about steam: I rate steam based on a combination of quality & quantity. I note kink separate from steam because I don't want to underrate steamy reads that don't have much kink.
**Note about spoilers: I like to comment on the plot of a book in reviews, so I almost always mark my reviews as containing spoilers. But I try to avoid spoiling the big dramatic moments! As a reader, I personally like to know what I'm getting into before I read a book so I know more about the content and if it's to my taste/mood, so I try to give that information in my reviews for myself when I'm considering rereading and also for other readers.

Oh, I am glad I did not quit this author's books after not liking (including really not liking) her most recent books. But hope and all that, and I liked the first chapter, and yep, we are back, fan girl status reignited.
That is not to say this is a perfect book and I will find flaws (more later) but they are the kind of flaws I will overlook easily, and that I was expecting anyway (abrupt endings. AH just finishes books a couple chapters before other authors), but the emotions, all that lust addled smutty sweetness is oh, so worth it.
It's a formula 1 book, one leaning hard into the real sport, real teams and there is a real RPF feel to it (added to by there being some chapters with fan forum interactions or news) to move the story along, so it will likely be an extra treat to people in the fandom or who are into celebrity gossip and so on. I am not one of them, but I could overlook it easily enough, except for a complaint - not enough epilogue. An epilogue on the form of fan comments is incredibly non rewarding, I wanted to be in their heads for the intimacy, I wanted to see their HFN routine from at least one of their PoVs..
But still something I binged so hard and I smiled so much at, 5 stars. A comment, the blurb makes it sound more toxic, darker than it ended up being. The straight guy falls pretty hard and very sweetly way before he is even ready to acknowledge it, and it ended up being adorable mostly with some external homophobia for conflict.
The next book, two rival drivers here sounds potentially great.
That is not to say this is a perfect book and I will find flaws (more later) but they are the kind of flaws I will overlook easily, and that I was expecting anyway (abrupt endings. AH just finishes books a couple chapters before other authors), but the emotions, all that lust addled smutty sweetness is oh, so worth it.
It's a formula 1 book, one leaning hard into the real sport, real teams and there is a real RPF feel to it (added to by there being some chapters with fan forum interactions or news) to move the story along, so it will likely be an extra treat to people in the fandom or who are into celebrity gossip and so on. I am not one of them, but I could overlook it easily enough, except for a complaint - not enough epilogue. An epilogue on the form of fan comments is incredibly non rewarding, I wanted to be in their heads for the intimacy, I wanted to see their HFN routine from at least one of their PoVs..

AH books are literal crack and I keep coming back for more
August 1, 2026
God, I hate to do this to a Hazard book - I haven't 3 starred a book of hers in literal years and it was long ago in this series - and actually they were 3.5 ratings so this is the lowest for me which says a lot - (that I hope still never ends) - but...part of this frustrated me too much to give it a trusted 4 stars, which I will give her books which are solid, but a little more formulaic of her style instead of reaching that top tier status that a few of her books reach for me.
When I read a Hazard book, I know what I'm getting into at this point - that's not the problem. For me, it was more the author kind of cutting off and cutting out the elements that usually make her books *so good* - which yes, in large part is the sex.
We do get some, but early on in their situationship, we barely even get *anything* and it's almost all fade to black? Which is SO unlike this author that it was baffling the fuck out of me. Like she has her MC's have sex a LOT and it's FUN and yeah she doesn't always write out every time they're fucking like bunnies, but we have some GOOD sex scenes around their first time, as they get more and more obsessed...
We didn't really get that here. Their first penetrative sex scene, Scott was bottoming for the first time, but he felt a bit detached? I mean, he loved it but I didn't feel that. He was thinking about how it felt a bit strange but he kind of liked it but did he love it? Mostly he was loving being used like a sex doll for Cam and the thought of kind of being a toy for him was what was getting him off.
It didn't entirely work for me, I don't know, I just didn't click with that. Then we got to the next chapter and like only a page is dedicated to expressing how obsessed Scott is now getting with bottoming. It wasn't enough, it was SO rushed.
And even outside the sex - I liked these two, but it was SO rushed. I felt like one minute they were talking and the next they were obsessed. Which, happens plenty with this author, but I felt like I blinked and they were already there without a lot of build up. It was a bit jarring, and then the sex comes along and we barely get any of it.
I think Scott and Cam had the good bones of past relationships this author has excelled at, but she struggled filling in the gaps to make them really perfect the way she has with couples in the past.
There has been, over time, a trend of Hazard writing very quick - hot and sexy, all the same, but quick - stories that don't always let the characters breathe. It's like go, go, go and a lot of the time, that works. And sometimes the chemistry is just enough to carry the perhaps lack of work at building that connection. And the sex is so well done and detailed and so well written that it carries a lot of the stories too.
I've always loved this and ate up her stories like crazy. But with this one, it was like she knew her formula but forgot to put the heart into it she usually has.
I liked Scott and Cam, and their chemistry was good, but wasn't great, and take away a lot of hot sex scenes that would have been SO hot and fun to read, and it really put a damper on this and I just, as I read, felt the sinking sensation of "oh no I'm going to have give this 3 stars" which I haven't done in FOREVER for Hazard.
Like...why are we skipping over Scott giving Cam blowjobs so much? Why the fuck was Cam eating Scott out completely fade to black? Why were we just told "and he fucked him thoroughly" and then that's IT?! Why?! We don't need every sex scene written out, yes, but when your brand is being known as an amazing sex scene writer and that they carry a lot of the story and plot (which isn't bad if written well, which Hazard does most of the time) and then you just skimp out on it, it's just like...what??? What happened here? All the time Hazard took to write this too and she got tired of writing sex all the sudden, it seems like?
Also I don't follow Nascar/Formula 1, all that stuff, so I had no idea what the jargon meant and we're never told. What does't P2, P8 mean? I assume Place 2 and 8 but it wasn't entirely clear. Why isn't it just called "2nd, 8th place" etc like usual? An explanation would have been nice.
Also it's such a large reason for drama in this, but why did the paps just go away? Cam's team paid off ONE of them, but nothing came of that - so that guy didn't fuck them over and release the photos anyway? Why? - and what, they were able to just go on for years without being hounded, followed, more pap pics taken? I was kind of waiting for them to be discovered and it all to blow up and it didn't.
But okay, they're keeping it secret from the public until Cam retires in a few years - it would have been nice to SEE that in the epilogue, him finally coming out with Scott at his side, but instead the epilogue is just a pretend social media post with pretend comments from fans? That's IT?! That was the epilogue? I was sooo disappointed.
Like this gets points for having the bones, the structure of a Hazard book, and I did enjoy Cam and Scott together a lot, the few bonding scenes we did get showed a great connection between them. The chemistry was there, if not as good as usual with this author. I wouldn't have minded more exploration of their kinks with each other, and those few instances of them were hot. It would take a lot more for me to give lower than 3 stars with this author, for sure. But the essence was missing from this. It just felt like Hazard needed to get a book out and followed her own formula without putting her heart into it.
It's disappointing, and I really, really hope her next book is up to par with her usual wonderful writing.
I've read her at her best and this is just not that. I would wait a long while even if this author needed time to find her heart again, to get back that thing she has that makes her books magic and so, so fun and hot and sexy.
Because this was just not it, unfortunately.
I feel bad for Cam and Scott, because in the past this author would have done them better justice than this.
*sigh* Until the next one, which I hope I can be very happy about after reading.

Hi, I'm a bi guy, and english is my 2nd language, expect mistakes.
So
I love this series, just a bit obsessed was my introduction to MM romance back in 2022, and this series has a very special place in my heart, so I'm not joking when i say this was a super anticipated project for me
But nonetheless
I have to be honest
This is my 2nd dnfed Alessandra Hazard book in a row
This one was a roller coaster and not the fun kind, the one from the final destination kind.
This book takes very unnecessary turns and gives you even more unnecessary prompts that no one ever asked for, such as the weird introduction of the feminization into the dynamic, simply because Scott has some well built and well pronounced pecs? And to buy him a bra out of all things when it wasn't even a discussion between you two? Don't get me started on the fact that Cam kept saying "your TITs are better than women's", like you have to put women down just to prove you're attracted to man boobs? Really dude?
Then to complete the shitty sundae with a cherry on top, we have Scott being a transphobic bird over some straight dick.
There's a scene where they were invited to a party in support of the lgbtq
And Cam went as an ally with Scott
Scott immediately left cam alone to go and talk to some big shot celebrity who is his usual type aka twinks (it was Gabriel, my least favorite MMC in this series)
And cam went "well, maybe we do need to hookup with different people", cause the line between their friendship kept getting crossed and he starts talking to a lady
Which resulted in Scott having a hissy fit and being an asshole
Read this section:
“We were kind of in the middle of a conversation,” Annie said pointedly.
Scott gave her a smile that was nowhere near as charming as his usual ones.
“Were you,” he said, his smile all teeth. “Did you tell him you were trans, sweetheart?”
Cam blinked at him. What?
He looked back at Annie, who was blushing and glaring daggers at Scott. “It’s hardly relevant, is it? I’m a woman.”
“Sure,” Scott said easily. “And a stunning one. But I’d hate for you to waste your time. He’s allergic to dick, no matter how pretty you are.”
Like what?
Not only he outs her, he also shames her for being trans
Like believe me girl, dick is never that good to make you act this foolish
He then also is pretty misogynistic to a cis woman who tries to have conversations with Cam, a twink is interested in him and Scott rejects him and excuses it with "i can't leave my friend, Cam here" and the twink propositions a foursome with one of his female friends and Scott says something in the realm of "she might have herpes".. like ok miss girl Misogyniana.
Also, their sexual dynamics goes down like the IQ in MAGAs right after the Tits scene
Their first Anal scene was just.. bad
Prep took 2 fingers, the dirty talk was as good as just a bit gay (another book with an unexpected and unwelcome feminization trope that had some of her worst dirty talk) and it was as robotic and cheap as a tesla invention.
Just a word salad ready to be thrown out.
I don't know what is going on with miss Hazard
But her work has been really Hazardous since Forbidden
And that's very disappointing
It's like she lost her passion for writing and that's very upsetting, now she just writes just to write.
Edit: i edited this, it was originally made around 3 am and i wasn't as awake as i thought. Some more infos added and some parts got edited (hopefully for the better, cause grammar is my 2nd biggest enemy behind Nyla K). Happy reading.

Not one of my favorites from this series but still a fun time! I needed more from their connection to really feel it. Incredibly rushed. It’s very apt that this book is about an F1 driver because we were racing to the finish line.😩 Scott and Cam have plenty of chemistry. I feel like I’m grading an essay writing in the margins of this smut book being like expand on that but yes, expand on that!🤭 But truth be told some of my favorites in this series are the most hated and the ones I hate are the ones everyone loves. Your mileage may vary! Still liked this. Still could read a billion more installments in this series.😁

This was too short. I missed AH. Honey I am finally home.🥹 its been too long fr

I just finished the book and I’m so sorry for doubting you Alessandra. I was a bit sceptical with where the book was going. I thought it would be some good ennemy to lover but the homophobic aversion didnt last long and Cam was already a bit obsessed with Scott from the get go so I was confused. It turned out that I loved their dynamic even more, the forced proximity, the casualty, the friendship. I love them so much like my babiiies.
The ghosting part back and forth was a bit annoying but I really enjoyed it. And we are getting less and less dramatic break up and time jump so thank you.

Was loving the build of friendship and rich playboy Scott’s method of getting homophobic F1 race champion Cam used to/not caring about touching/being affectionate/friendly w a gay guy. I felt that connection.
Then they have a rather gross text conversation about people they just fucked while apart (they aren’t together/have not yet been physical sexually, but…) including misogynistic feeling comments, and I just am not in the mood to get past it. Yuck. This one doesn’t transcend OP action the way a couple others in the series have; this was talking about people like body parts, not people they care about, and it squicked me out and diminished both men for me. They aren’t cute enough for me to want to keep going. Meh.

I’m like a chaotic toddler with the way I’m reading this series, but I just go with the vibe 🙃
It’s like I’m on a reading vacation - no big pains, nothing overwhelming, just absolutely delicious fun 🤤
At this point, I’m not even trying to pick favourites. Cam and Scott’s story unfolded in a sweet and not too obvious way and I definitely loved it 🤍
Scott shivered and turned his head, seeking Cam’s lips like a blind kitten seeking affection, guided more by instinct than thought.
I have no idea how she manages to take classic tropes and slightly ridiculous relationship ideas and turn them into such highly enjoyable books, but here we are. I wasn’t bothered by a single thing.
“You’re the asshole here,” Scott said, lifting his hand to fix the top button of Cam’s shirt.
“Stop looking so good and seducing all the gays.
Leave some of them to us.”
She has a very special writing style that works wonderfully for me, and I’m so glad there are more of her books to enjoy 🤍

"Put it in," he said breathlessly. "Just a little. Want you in me when I come."
Whatever this was, I ate it up and even licked the plate.

I have officially read all 16 books in this series, and if there’s one thing I’ve realized, it’s that no one writes needy, obsessed, emotionally dependent men better than Alessandra Hazard. Nobody.
One thing I absolutely love about her books is that they’re never really about the plot. They’re about the people. Two flawed people carrying their own baggage, finding that one person who somehow understands them, becomes their safe place, and slowly turns into their entire world. That’s what keeps me coming back to her books over and over again.
Cam is a Formula One World Champion who’s got internalized homophobia, and Scott is this ridiculously confident, charming man who somehow walks right past all of Cam’s walls. Watching their relationship change from irritation, to friendship, to physical comfort, and then into something so much deeper felt incredibly natural. It never felt rushed to me because Alessandra has a way of making every little interaction matter.
And Scott… I absolutely adored him.
He was confident without trying too hard, cocky without becoming unbearable, and so comfortable in his own skin. He balanced Cam perfectly. Honestly, I couldn’t have imagined a better match for him.
My biggest complaint with Alessandra Hazard is still the same one I’ve had for a while now.
Her endings.
Why do they always end so abruptly?
I wasn’t ready to leave Cam and Scott. I wanted just a little more time with them. An extra chapter. Just something to let me enjoy them after everything they’d been through. I felt exactly the same way after Till the End. Every time I reach the last page of one of her books, I end up thinking, “Wait… that’s it?”
And my second complaint is completely selfish.
Can this woman please write faster? And maybe fix her endings while at it?
honestly I’d rather wait than get a rushed book but still.

4.5 ⭐️
I didn’t know all I needed was a bra. And a straight man in denial to inhale a book.
I’d heard people talking about this book, but it wasn’t until I saw a video about this book stating, “a straight man wants to grab the other MMC's titties and buys him a bra." That I picked it up immediately. Ya girl loves men in lingerie.
The banter between these two was fun. I also enjoyed how Cam was honest about his own biases about the lgbtqia+ community. He seemed to have some genuine self awareness and a desire to improve.
This book is 75% vibes, but the vibes are everything. It’s short enough that the lack of a plot didn’t really even bother me. Some 500 page books try to coast on vibes and fail miserably for me. This one found the perfect balance.
I honestly have no explanation for whatever witchcraft kept me hooked for a story with no depth, no strong plot line, no yearning, just vibes, dollification, and titties. I'm surprised, but I’m not mad about it. Someone tell me what else to read by this author. I think I found my new guilty pleasure. 😂
