Good Boy: The Boys of Apartment 13 Book 3
Good boy Baby Holbrook is unlucky in love...
Baby
I'm a stickler for rules, and for good reason. They keep life simple. Predictable. Safe. My roommates might not agree, but I think they're a necessity. Which is exactly why crushing on the one straight guy in the apartment is a terrible idea.
Logan Matthews is a rule breaker. He's shirtless at inappropriate times, allergic to knocking, and somehow convinced that pretending to be my boyfriend is no big deal. But for me, it most definitely is. Between all the hand-holding and praise, I'm finding it harder and harder to remember this is fake. The kisses feel real, the touches are lingering, and I'm forgetting what it was like to not have this beautiful boy's attention all on me.
There's only one way this ends, but if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that Logan Matthews is worth the heartache.
Logan
I'm a firm believer that there are some rules that are meant to be broken. My favorite roommate might not agree, but I'm pretty sure I can change his mind.
Baby thinks I can't handle being his fake boyfriend just because I'm straight. He doesn't understand how much I already like being near him. I don't spend my nights watching eighties movies because I like them. I do it because it's the only time he lets his guard down. What started out as a favor he didn't ask for has become the realest thing in my life. I just hope I can convince him I'm worth the risk.
It may be easier said than done, but if there's one thing I know, it's that Baby Holbrook is worth the fight.
**Good Boy is a high-heat MM romance with mild angst that features a not-so-fake relationship between complete opposites. This is book three in a series of interconnected standalone. While each book can be read on its own, the series may be best enjoyed in order. For a detailed list of possible triggers as well as the sorts of fun you can look forward to, please check out the Look Inside Feature.**

Thank you so much to the author for sending me this book, and letting me read this early. Pretty Boy is a book i return to over and over, and Baby is a favourite side character in it, so I was really excited to see more from him and explore his love-hate relationship with Logan.
I did enjoy most of this book, and it did make me giggle and kick my feet at times, but there was also parts that made me wanna reach my hands inside the book and shake the characters. We were warned about the miscommunication trope though, so even though I usually hate it, I powered through in hopes it would be worth it. The ending was sadly not as satisfying as I’d hoped, but still enjoyable.
—————————
There were a few things throughout the book, that took me out of the story, which is why I can’t give it more than 2 stars (curse you Goodreads for not doing half stars).
I’m still freshly done with the book, so maybe more things will come to mind later, but these are things I noted down while reading, that threw me off a bit:
💙The pacing in this book felt off to me. From what I understand, then this book takes place over several months, based on a thought from Logan’s pov later in the book (if we don’t count the epilogues). I had a little trouble getting a feel for how much time had passed in between scenes and overall throughout the story. The book starts during the christmas/winter break, but later we don’t get much indication of time passing. For example, we don’t get to know when Baby goes back to school after the break, besides later we have a scene where he’s supposed to be studying for an exam. We don’t see him talking about or attending classes before this, so it felt like it came a bit out of the blue. Before that, I’d assumed this took place over the break, with how things were described, since there isn’t much else to help establish a timeline.
💙The pacing in between sections, feel very abrupt sometimes and the scenes themselves feel very short, as if we’re trying to quickly to the next part/next sex scene. The only scenes I really felt were somewhat fleshed, out were the sex scenes and even a few of those I still felt we were rushing a bit to finish.
💙I think it’s a shame we don’t get to meet Audrey more, or see her and Baby interact more throughout the story. I did sometimes feel like some of the scenes felt a bit empty, as if we didn’t get to really meet other people properly or see Baby or Logan interact properly with other people. I would have loved to see more interactions with others to help further the story, kinda like the one with Baby and Liam in Liams apartment, but it felt like a lot of that had been cut out and only told in brief flashbacks.
💙Continuing from that, multiple times throughout the story, I felt like I had missed scenes or part of scenes from earlier. As an example, multiple times Logan or Baby mention having left marks on eachother, but I don’t feel like we got to see it. I remember there was a mention of one of them having gotten a mark on his thigh (I think it was Baby noticing a mark he’d left of Logans thigh when trying not to sniff his balls) but I don’t remember that happening, so I’m assuming we weren’t told, and I personally felt like that was a shame.
—————————
I have some other few more nitpicky things I’ve thought of as well, that are not major complaints, since this might be more personal preference, so I’m writing them here:
💙In my opinion, I feel like Baby forgave Zeke way too quickly. During the strip club scene, Zeke came across as a bit of a dick throughout, and based on his earlier behavior and how horrible he’d been to Baby, I feel like it should have taken a bit more than him saying he’d been outed and now had a boyfriend for him to earn any forgiveness. Id have liked Baby to maybe see him take the “I don’t forgive you, but maybe we can work on putting it behind us” route than just forgive, but again, this is personal opinion.
💙Call me a perv, but I think we got way too little of Baby’s smelling kink 😂 It kinda felt like it was forgotten halfway through.
💙Speaking of forgetting, I kept forgetting that they were doing the fake dating thing. I’m not sure if it was a pacing issue or if it kinda drowned in whatever else what going on, but I feel like we lost it somewhere and then remembered again later that we were doing that. Might be due to the lack of scenes with people outside the apartment, because the other boys obviously knew they weren’t dating, but it made it feel not very important to the story.
—————————
Overall I did enjoy aspects of the book, and Baby is a very fun and interesting character to explore, but the story did leave me wanting more. It does come from a place of love, because as I wrote earlier, Pretty Boy is a favourite of mine, and is a book I’ll keep returning to. Maybe I’ll also give this another read again in the future and see if my opinion changes.

Review of advance copy
I’m an anomaly of sorts—a contradicting mix of proud and insecure. The brazen attitude and nails, the tiny Fiat and unusual outfits—I’m loud but only sometimes proud.
Green Flag meets Cranky Flag in this super-cute roommates to lovers bi-awakening MM romance. Baby is a cranky boss bitch who has some issues from the way he was bullied by a 'straight' guy in high school. He isn't the best at maintaining boundaries, and can't help but be mean sometimes when people annoy him. He's pretty mean to Logan, one of the people who annoys him most. Baby created a list of 'roommate rules' for Logan, trying to keep him from walking around their apartment all hot and shirtless... and straight. As long as Logan stops touching Baby and wanting to spend time together, Baby will be able to get over his massive crush on Logan. At least, until Baby needs a fake boyfriend for his friend's wedding, and Logan volunteers as tribute.
“Am I not… good enough to be your fake boyfriend?” He forces a light laugh, but it’s very clearly fake. I can only stare, genuine confusion stealing my ability to answer such a stupid question. Is he for real?
Logan is the living embodiment of every green flag in the entire world. He's a sweetheart who works hard to help his family, and has an endless well of patience for his easily irritated roommate Baby. The only thing Logan gets upset about is that Baby bites their other roommates, but never him.
It’s such a stupid thing to be jealous about. I don’t want to be bitten, not really. I just don’t get why he won’t do it. He bites everybody but me, and it makes me stupid with envy.
I'm obsessed with Logan calling Baby "my little vampire" and wanting Baby to bite him. It's adorable and one of my favourite nicknames that I've read in awhile. Baby gets all mushy and soft for Logan and it was so fun to read. Logan took some time to figure out his feelings, but he wasn't annoying about it (he annoyed Baby, but that's nothing new haha) and never had a Big Gay Freak Out. The two of them are a great match 🩷. I especially loved reading about Logan helping Baby overcome some of his insecurities about his body.
“Fuck,” I hiss. He’s biting me. My little vampire is finally biting me, his teeth digging into the crook of my neck, and it’s so painfully sweet that I almost miss it as his hips stutter against me.
I wish we got a bit more information about Logan's family, since they're so important to him. At times the book felt a bit adrift without a plan. I really enjoyed it anyways, as I have with the 2 previous books in the series. It can be read as a standalone, but would be best read in series order so you know who the other couples in the book are. There was a bit of a delay in the release of this book and I'd forgotten a fair bit about books 1 and 2, but some of the details came back as I read this book. The whole series is cute, with interesting characters and storylines. It's more character driven than plot driven overall.
He bites down with a whine, his teeth sinking into my shoulder, and above all of the pain is a blinding piece of rapture. I have no clue why that feels so fucking good—in fact, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. Not physically, but it’s something he does to everyone, to the people he knows and likes, and now that includes me. Only he bites me the hardest, and it feels a bit like love.
Rating: 4 stars

I’m so happy to finally have the 3rd book of this series and see Baby and Logan’s story. Baby is gay and Logan is straight as far as he believes. In the first 2 books we see little of their interactions outside of Baby seemingly not wanting to be around Logan even though he’s the “best looking” in the house. This book gives us so much more.
I’ll admit I don’t like Baby throughout most of this book. He’s frustratingly mean to Logan. Frankly I don’t understand why Logan puts up with the terrible treatment and continues to push and pursue the agenda that revolves around the fake dating. Baby is really bad at communication because of a combination of learned behavior and fear. He had a past secret situationship in his catholic highschool with his girl bestie’s brother Zeke. Zeke denied being gay but wanted to hook up with Baby in secret and treated him terribly in public. And in private really.
Baby is a complex and layered character that I don’t like most of the time. But it is hard to hold it against him when we clearly know WHY he is that way. Zeke made him doubt and arguable hate himself and Baby masks his confidence and doesn’t let anyone in anymore. He doesn’t hate who he is, but hates what he thinks others want him to be but isn’t. To use a quote of Baby’s from the book “I am a boy who can’t handle someone being with me and wishing I were more of a girl.” Many would rather deny himself closeness and affection from others than be open to the hurt and rejection he suffered repeatedly from Zeke.
Logan is a “straight” guy working construction to send extra money home to his single mom and 5 siblings to hopefully help give them a better life than he had when he was young and going without because money was tight. He’s a generally happy guy who likes spending time with Baby, more so when they are alone because Baby is usually nicer then. It’s clear from early on that Logan isn’t as straight as he think he is and we see him figure out that he’s been into Baby since first meeting him, though Logan didn’t recognize that it was attraction he was feeling.
The further is got into the book the more I realized that , in a way, Baby was treating Logan how Zeke treated him. The constant push and pull, Baby getting what he wanted in the heat of the moment then freaking out and pushing Logan away. Baby had such a hard time taking Logan’s words at face value, yet Logan was so patient, if not very confused, with Baby’s reactions at any given moment.
Yes Baby is terrible at communicating his own secret feeing because of fear, but he also almost NEVER let Logan explain his own feeling or communicate through the new experiences he was having with Baby.
What I liked most:
*Logans lack of sexual identity crisis
*Logans obsession with Baby’s butt
*Liams cameo and new job
*Liams inability to help at all
*Nik and Cades ability to be helpful
*Baby being written like a real person with real issues that affect their interactions with others and being an imperfect character that I kinda don’t like for about 80% of the story.
What I wasn’t pleased with:
*Zeke’s story resolution-anticlimactic and unsatisfying
*No Sebastian cameo ☹️
If you’ve gotten this far in my review I’ll say this, I’ve enjoyed all 3 of these books and hope Brianna’s health allows her to keep writing.
Each story felt different in a good way, I didn’t feel like story’s were repetitive and the characters and kinks for lack of a better description at different from each other.

Review:
If you put a picture next to “idiots to lovers” in a book dictionary it would be of Logan and Baby. I’ve been excited for these two since we first saw them in Pretty Boy. Baby acts like he can’t stand Logan, almost as if he hates him. And they say the line between hate and love is thin, but if anything Baby hates him because he loves him and he feels like he’ll never get to have him. Logan pushes to hang out with Baby because he loves being around him and spending time with him, no matter how prickly he can be. I think the fake dating for these two was perfect because it forced a label and made Logan realize that he didn’t just want to spend all his free time with Baby because they were just friends. Their communication was the biggest issue that they had. Baby struggles with insecurities due to past relationships and the trauma from the fallout of those, and he doesn’t know what to think when Logan who has been seemingly straight forever starts to return some of the feelings and attraction to him. Logan just wants baby to see him and believe him when he tells him how he feels because he is 100% honest. Even when he starts to take control in some of their spicy scenes to try to show not just tell but to prove to Baby that he really is attracted to him and wants him, Baby can’t get over his own mind to think it is anything but an experiment. When they finally admit how they feel they both acknowledge that they’ve been kinda dumb about how they handled it and it was super sweet. I am really excited that Jax ended up in the apartment cause now we can get his story. I want him to finally find his person.
Criticisms:
The fake dating was fun, but I wish we had more when it came to that. They spent a lot of time together still but it was more that Baby was trying to not read into the signals that Logan was sending and Logan trying to figure out what these feelings for baby meant. I really do love them together though, I just struggled a bit with the miscommunication. But we’ve got a black cat who is prickly and a little insecure, and a golden retriever who’s knew to this and doesn’t always say things when he needs to. Also I was surprised by the lack of kink in this one. I mean we get a little bit, but I felt like it was heavily implied how much he was into ropes and impact play, and we got handcuffs and some spanking, plus the chain at the end. I just was expecting a little more I guess. Also Logan’s family was super important to him, I mean they’re the reason he lives there to be able to send money home, and we never even meet them.
Overall I did enjoy this and absolutely would recommend it.

Review of advance copy
Here's "Good Boy," the third book in Brianna Flores's The Boys of Apartment 13 series.
["Good boy Baby Holbrook is unlucky in love...
Baby
I'm a stickler for rules, and for good reason. They keep life simple. Predictable. Safe. My roommates might not agree, but I think they're a necessity. Which is exactly why crushing on the one straight guy in the apartment is a terrible idea.
Logan Matthews is a rule breaker. He's shirtless at inappropriate times, allergic to knocking, and somehow convinced that pretending to be my boyfriend is no big deal. But for me, it most definitely is. Between all the hand-holding and praise, I'm finding it harder and harder to remember this is fake. The kisses feel real, the touches are lingering, and I'm forgetting what it was like to not have this beautiful boy's attention all on me.
There's only one way this ends, but if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that Logan Matthews is worth the heartache.
Logan
I'm a firm believer that there are some rules that are meant to be broken. My favorite roommate might not agree, but I'm pretty sure I can change his mind.
Baby thinks I can't handle being his fake boyfriend just because I'm straight. He doesn't understand how much I already like being near him. I don't spend my nights watching eighties movies because I like them. I do it because it's the only time he lets his guard down. What started out as a favor he didn't ask for has become the realest thing in my life. I just hope I can convince him I'm worth the risk.
It may be easier said than done, but if there's one thing I know, it's that Baby Holbrook is worth the fight."]
These two gave me so much anxiety. Okay, so most of the anxiety was due to Baby, but he was (okay not entirely) justifiable. His past experiences mixed with his greatest fears and his unchecked anxiety made him continuously push Logan away.
Logan...tried his best. He wanted to push Baby, but he knew he couldn't push Baby too far, too fast. And not to blame aaallllll of the miscommunication on him, but Logan could have, arguably, told Baby how he felt and how those feelings had changed slash had been there all along.
Meanwhile, all of the other boys were just like "whelp, we've been there; they'll figure it out." Like, awesome. Thanks.
But also, Logan being jealous of a banana, to the point of almost throwing the bundle of bananas away, was hilarious.

["Good boy Baby Holbrook is unlucky in love...
Baby
I'm a stickler for rules, and for good reason. They keep life simple. Predictable. Safe. My roommates might not agree, but I think they're a necessity. Which is exactly why crushing on the one straight guy in the apartment is a terrible idea.

Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
Biting as a love language. And apparently Logan’s biggest problem in life is that Baby will bite everyone except him. The injustice.
I have been waiting for Baby’s book since the moment he appeared in this series and the SECOND this ARC popped up I signed up like my life depended on it. And let me tell you… it was SO worth it.
Baby and Logan are absolute perfect together. Logan is pure golden retriever energy… sweet, loyal, a little oblivious, and the kind of guy who would do anything for the people he loves. Baby, meanwhile, is loud, dramatic, has a rule for everything, unapologetically himself, and somehow both wildly confident and secretly insecure at the exact same time.
Which makes their situation even better when they end up fake dating. Because pretending to be boyfriends gets complicated fast when one of you has been quietly pining… and the other is a supposedly straight roommate and friend who suddenly realizes he might enjoy kissing Baby a little more than expected.
Watching Logan slowly piece together his feelings was honestly hilarious. He’s so determined to protect Baby and make him happy that he barrels straight into emotional chaos before he even realizes what’s happening.
And Baby? That chaotic little vampire. I loved how bold and expressive he was while still carrying those quieter insecurities underneath. The dynamic between them works so well. Baby’s big personality paired with Logan’s steady, devoted nature just balances perfectly. And the way Logan supports Baby and reassures him about his body and worth absolutely melted my heart.
Also… the chemistry between these two? Whew. Who knew kissing scenes alone could have me fanning myself like that? The spice in this series definitely continues to deliver. Logan realizing Baby isn’t quite the prude he thought he was and Baby somehow managing to be both demanding and submissive for Logan… worked very well for me.
And of course, it wouldn’t be an Apartment 13 book without the rest of the boys bringing their usual chaos. I loved getting to revisit everyone again.. it feels like coming home to this group.
I devoured this in a single day and didn’t want it to end. Funny, messy, heartfelt, spicy, and full of lovable idiots in love. Literally everything I wanted from Baby’s story.

Review of advance copy
I’m so glad I got to read Good boy as an ARC! My very first! I waited for this book for a LONG time - as did everyone else - however if you’ve seen Brianna’s last instagram post you’d see about 3627228 comments from me asking for this book - to the point that other readers messaged me privately when the date changed on goodreads and were like “GIRL IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU” 😂😂😂 I am very happy that Brianna is doing better these days and is making a comeback. Sending well wishes and a speedy recovery❤️🩹 All that being said, I had such HIGH expectations for this book that even I can acknowledge wasn’t healthy. Baby just captivated me since Pretty boy and I couldn’t let him go! I enjoyed the book, but maybe because of said (very high) expectations, it didn’t quite hit its mark for me. I think the back and forth lasted a little too long, to the point that at times Baby was a bit obnoxious. I also believe the first kiss and subsequent relationship started out a bit too late in the book - had I not been hooked because this was Good boy and I had waited over a year, I might’ve struggled to finish. I also missed the very steamy moments we got in Pretty boy and Lover boy - I was expecting more kink/spice especially because of Logan’s mention of ropes, edging and more on previous books. On a final note, the third act breakup felt a bit too silly - Baby’s immaturity and lack of communication skills creating havoc yet again when I was hoping we were over that. I’m giving it 3 stars rounded up. I hope we get Jax soonish, he captivated me as much as Baby did back then and I have a feeling his story might have more depth, his past more troubled than what we’ve seen so far.

Review of advance copy
Good Boy is the third book is The Boys of Apartment 13. This can be read as a standalone.
Baby has been in love with his straight roommate or so he thought Logan but when certain circumstances arise Logan offers to be Baby’s fake boyfriend.
Logan enjoys spend his spare time sitting on the couch watching old 80’s movie with Baby. He can never understand why Baby has all these rules for Logan or why Baby doesn’t bite him like he does that with all his other roommates.
When fake dating starts to turn into real feelings past trauma has Baby believing someone like Logan could be interested in him.
Over all I really enjoy this book. Moments within the book had me laughing and kicking my feet in happiness. Baby’s past trauma had me sad with empathy with the emotional scars he has. I loved the spicy scene between Baby and Logan.
I really the liked the how Baby got his name as for the past two books I’ve been wondering and intrigued to know.
I would’ve loved to see more of both Logan family and Baby’s mum dynamic.
I would’ve also loved to Baby overcoming his past trauma and self esteem issues when Logan.
Hopefully there is a part four of The Boys of Apartment 13. If so I can’t wait to read it!

My five reactions reading this book:
LOGAN! LOGAN, STOP!
WTF LOGAN?
Awwwwww, Logan, that’s adorable!
Awww Babe, you’re so cute!
Awwww, everyone’s just f*cking adorable!
“Good boy” follows Baby’s story, after two books, we finally have his happy ending! Baby’s roommate Logan is straight and a menace because he never follows Baby’s rules. And the rules are there for a reason, because Logan keeps forgetting his shirt and Baby’s brains do not compute Logan’s bare chest. Now Baby has to go to the wedding of his best friend, and he needs a date. Logan volunteers to be his fake boyfriend, and what ensues is just the filthiest smut you’ll ever read, and so many feelings!
Logan’s an adorable idiot! It’s funny how he says he’s straight and he never puts a label on his sexuality, but the way he calls Baby his “vampire” because Baby bites everyone but him, it’s so cute. Logan never shames Baby, he’s there to just be his green flag, clueless emotional support, even though he’s the main cause of Baby’s stress.
Baby is amazing! He’s loud, proud, he really does not use his brain a lot when he’s by Logan’s side. He feels guilty for “using” Logan because he believe he’s straight, while completely oblivious that Logan is a sucker for him. Again, Logan, you didn’t help! You thought you were helping, but you were not, because you’re what? An adorable idiot! But Baby is a nice person, so when they get involved, Baby just feels wrong for pushing Logan to do things he believes he may not want to. His guilt really eats him alive, and it’s not because Logan stops him. Logan is like an abandoned puppy, following Baby everywhere. Baby tells him something, Logan just nods and wants to do everything Baby does to keep him happy.
“Good boy” is a rollercoaster of feelings. It’s about finding out the person next to you was the one all along, the one that you worship and can’t stop thinking about. The person you want to make happy at all times and will do anything for him. It’s just perfect!

This is the 3rd book in the series and I loved Baby from book 1 so I was happy he got his own book, and it was good but it didn’t blow me away. The miscommunication trope is fairly all the way through on this book which is warned at the beginning but does drive me insane .. Baby and Logan are pretty close & comfortable with each other in the apartment but Baby keeps him at an arms length with rules ext because he has the biggest crush on Logan. Now it rushes quite into their relationship it took me by surprise one minute they were talking on the sofa next they were intimate not much in between. Baby is super confident but with Logan he feels so much insecurity because he thinks Logan only likes Girls which until now he has but I just wish he was more honest with Logan because Logan was so open minded and understanding with Baby it could of saved a lot of confusion for them both! I have to admit towards the the end of the book I gotta little meh about it and wish it had gone in a different way but overall it was good it read about their story and I’m glad they ended up together.. Still 4 stars for me because there was a lot in the book that I liked … Liam and Bash are still my very fave characters in this series

I’ve been eagerly awaiting Baby and Logan’s book. Their dynamic is a lot of fun and I loved the back and forth they shared. The character chemistry definitely wasn’t lacking and I’m so glad this book was finally finished. There is no plot to this book, not really. There’s no central struggle other than the straight to gay troupe and I think that makes it begin to drag, even though the characters themselves are great. I enjoyed this book a lot but I really think the characters would have benefited from having a challenge or problem outside of their relationship. While the wedding is meant to serve as the main plot “problem” that needs resolution, it felt weak and didn’t really move the plot forward. The book is really enjoyable but I think a bit more plot focus would really help add depth to the story. As always, Brianna Flores’ characters are charming and full of depth and her spice is always served extra spicy. I’ve always found that she captures internal dialogue and insecurity really well and that is absolutely true for this book. I look forward to seeing what she comes out with next.

✨ARC REVIEW✨
Rating: 3.25/5⭐
Spice: 4/5🌶️
WHAT TO EXPECT:
💙Roommates
💙Friends-to-Lovers
💙Golden Retriever x Black Cat
💙Fake Dating
💙Sexual Awakening
💙Miscommunication
Normally I don’t mind the miscommunication trope, but the frequent misunderstandings between the two MCs started to really irritate me. It felt like a constant issue where Baby was taking everything Logan said out of context (which I get was his insecurities, but came off more as immaturity). Baby was basically Logan’s Zeke. Then it felt like Logan didn’t care enough to be more clear with his feelings and intentions. He was just a bit too vague which caused more issues for Baby. Maybe it’s because I had such high expectations for Baby since I’ve adored him since Pretty Boy, but this kinda missed the mark for me. There were moments that really worked for Baby and Logan and I wish there were more, but honestly, my favorite part of this book was Liam’s cameo lol. This book was far from terrible, just sorta fell flat for me. I’m still looking forward to more of Brianna’s work.

oh my god, brianna has done it again.
baby and logan are both characters we meet in book one, and i was immediately interested in getting their story. i love a good green flag/snarky character pairing and these two fit the bill perfectly.
logan is just straight golden retriever energy and loyal to his own detriment. and then we have baby who is chaotic and loud and unabashedly—but also abashedly?—himself. they really balance each other out so well. i also loved the pan representation in this book, and how open logan was to being with baby. their banter and chemistry was great and i enjoyed every single second of them.
i also loved visiting the characters from the two previous books. it’s always a silly time with the apartment 13 boys. and possibly a little insight into what jax is up to? cannot wait.
the spice also stays spicing in this series. logan’s kinkiness and baby’s submissiveness was everything.
a billion stars. all the chili peppers. and now i need jax ASAP.

It was so nice to be back at Apartment 13! I love Baby and Logan so much. Baby is so real. He's secretly so insecure and second guesses everything (same), but he's also, at times, sure of who he is. He's been burnt and that shows as he tries to get closer to Logan. Logan is precious. He's pure kindness in a person. He works hard to provide for his family, which is so sweet.
I love the way these two bring out each other insecurities, only to eventually squash them away. And I love how they're made for each other. Baby can be a little all over the place emotionally (again, same) and Logan just rolls with it. Meanwhile, Baby gets Logan out of his comfort zone. I really enjoyed Baby's backstory with Zeke and how that affects his every move around Logan. The fake dating was fun, too. And seeing Cade and Liam was amazing!
Overall, this was a fun read!
Notes: 2/5 spice levels, insecurities, fake dating, pan awakening, roommates, student/construction worker

Good Boy is book three in the Boys Of Apartment 13 series. This MM romance story is about Baby and Logan.
After meeting Baby and Logan in book one, I definitely was looking forward to their story. Baby and Logan are roommates, with Baby having a secret crush on Logan. Baby is bratty, loud and gives attitude, but he also is insecure. Logan is so sweet and the biggest green flag.
Logan pretends to be Baby’s boyfriend in an attempt to help him out. Although I know Baby was trying to protect himself, I do have to say I got a bit frustrated with how he acted towards Logan, especially the times when it caused Logan to be insecure or his feelings to be hurt. But over time things didn’t seem to be so fake between them, and we eventually see Baby and Logan figure things out.
I enjoyed getting to see Cade and Liam, and Jax was certainly an interesting new character.

Ahhh!! I just LOVE Baby! I have been looking forward to his story for so long. It was so worth the wait!
This is the cutest roommates to lovers story I have read in a while. Baby dealt with a lot of bullying in HS that lead to him being a lil mean sometimes. He is basically in love with Logan and hopes his rules will help that go away but Logan is persistent even when he has no clue WHY. Logan is probably the greenest green flag ever. Most of the time, he just takes whatever Baby throws at him and continues along. I loved that he didn’t have a crisis when he realized how he felt about Baby, he just was like “yeah that sounds perfect.”
Baby and Logan are super freaking adorable when Baby just is himself. I loved that Logan was just exactly what Baby needed in every way. He knew what he wanted and that was Baby.
I am really hoping we get to see Jax get his HEA!

Baby and Logan are super freaking adorable when Baby just is himself. I loved that Logan was just exactly what Baby needed in every way. He knew what he wanted and that was Baby.
I am really hoping we get to see Jax get his HEA!

I think a lot of us lovers of this series have been waiting for this one for a while and I’m happy to report it’s as lovely as the previous books! I loved the deeper look at Baby and Logan’s personalities. Baby’s history made my heart ache for him and Logan was the perfect balm for his burns, so to speak. I loved how Briana was able to keep things low angst, light and super sweet while also having incredible spice! These boys didn’t communicate the best and of course that lead to assumptions and misunderstandings but they made sense for these boys. This was an all around feel good time and I loved the cameos we got from the previous boys of apt 13 and Jax - definitely looking forward to his HEA. The club seems like it will be a fun environment for his book

I am so happy that Brianna is feeling better after being so ill. I know we have all been highly anticipating this book and let me tell you that Baby was worth the wait! I was waiting in anticipation to see if Baby would bite me too! haha
Baby wants hot hetero Logan so bad, but he knows he can't have him, so he dictates all of these rules for him and his other roommates to follow. Baby has been burned before by "straight" guys that want to fool around with another man so he knows trying to hook up with Logan would be especially bad.
Logan likes Baby but he doesn't realize how he likes him at first AND he wants to know why Baby bites everyone BUT him!
This book was much sweeter than I thought it would be going in, but I loved it all. Five stars, no notes.

Oh my GOD.
Brianna has done it again. I had been so curious about Baby and Logan and what their story would look like, but I did NOT imagine this one!
Now I’m just sad I zoomed through it and have to wait two weeks for the physical copy to come out.
The way Baby tried to protect himself but fell first? Then adding in Logan coming to the realization that he's been attracted to Baby all along?
These two were absolute fire and I loved seeing them get their HEA with some adorable additions!
"Nobody puts baby in the corner".
I also really hope Brianna is doing okay as I know she's mentioned health issues on social media and in emails. Sending all the positive thoughts her way!

Good Boy by Brianna Flores was exactly what I had hoped for as the next installment in the Boys of Apartment 13 series.
I had been waiting for Baby and Logan’s story, and it delivered everything I wanted.
The back-and-forth, the turbulent insecurities, the self-discoveries and realizations, and the cameos from past characters (nothing will beat Liam’s 🤣🤣🤣)—this was such an enjoyable read. I blasted through it in a day. It was a great, light palate cleanser among heavier reads.
Now to wait for the next book—and to get to know the newest roommate 😉

This was fun and very smutty. Baby and Logan had really great chemistry and I was never bored by the many sex scenes.
Baby was a bit too whiny for a bit too long about how Logan is soooooo straight and would never want him. But past experiences shape a person so I could forgive him it was just a tiny bit too much. Logan is a perfect golden retriever boy and I absolutely loved him.
This was a fun read - it is mostly them smashing so read this if that's your thing.

My thoughts on Good Boy by Brianna Flores.
5 ⭐️
“My love. My little vampire. He’s all fucking mine.”
This book made my heart feel SO many things! Baby is such a character, he had me laughing, crying, even a little annoyed at times! I loved getting to know them both more throughout this book, the glimpses of them from the other two books really didn’t do either of them justice! As always, Brianna’s writing was magnificent, I cannot wait to read more by her.
I absolutely recommend not only this book, but also the first two of the series!

We finally get to see Baby and Logan’s story!!! We knew that Baby was a bunch of sass in a small package, but we get to see Logan slowly (and blindly) chip away at Baby’s prickly exterior to find a sweet, squishy inside! The road was not smooth for these two, and at times I just wanted to shake them both and scream “just fucking talk to each other”!
Next book about Jax…?.

Review of advance copy
Baby was so full of snark and ideas on the outside, but on the inside, he was such a vulnerable guy. Logan's friendship really did mean so much to him. And well so did the hot intimacy they shared. I think my favorite parts though were Logan's reactions to finally getting Baby to open up with him. Be his little Vampire. Biting. Very unique romance with all the right amounts of adorable man loving his Baby paired with humor and hotness. So glad I was able to snag an advanced copy.

"Biting is a love language"
I am hooked to this book. Baby is bold and bossy, never letting anyone dim his spark—and Logan refuses to let anyone dull it either. Logan’s pan-awakening is gentle and real; he slowly understands his jealousy and realizes how much he loves Baby’s spirit, his painted nails, and his style. These two feel so alive, and you can feel every emotion, every argument, every moment.
I’m already excited for Jax’s story—I know he has plenty to say.

Omg!! I adored this book so much! Baby was just as perfect and bratty as I knew he would be! And LOGANNN!! HELLO GREEN FLAG! I actually fell more in love with him in this book than I did Baby, which was a shock to me! (I loved Baby SO MUCH TOO!!) He was such a gentle and patient guy as he and Baby both navigated through their feelings. This book was worth the wait and I cannot wait to see what happens next in the Apartment.. perhaps a little more on Jax!?
