Hiding Things
Mason Downing is good at a lot of things, but math isn’t one of them. What he is good at is hiding the fact that he’s a poor kid on a full scholarship at elite Bragson University—though he won’t be there for long if he can’t get his grades up.
Carter Lantor is the embodiment of all that Mason pretends to rich, confident, and smart. But when Carter is handpicked to be Mason’s new math tutor, Mason learns that he’s not the only one hiding things. Soon, Carter’s picture-perfect façade begins to crack under the pressure of his father’s expectations and his own unhappiness.
Together, Mason and Carter must teach each other that no matter how much they question their place in the world, their love for one another might be the answer they are looking for.

When the nicest thing you can think of about a story is, "Well, it wasn't that bad" then I think you have a problem.
I'm not going to lie, the first two chapters were ROUGH. There is an alternating POV, which I normally love, but the first two chapters were near mirrors of each other, just from different perspectives. There was almost no new information, and I was preparing for a VERY bumpy ride. Fortunately, it improved a bit from there, but not all the way to "like" for me.
Mason, for some reason, is obsessed with his lack of money and keeping up appearances. He insists on pretending that he is well off, and he hides the fact that he has to work for enough money to get the tutoring that he needs. This all made no sense to me because I went to a pretty elite college and most people there were saving their pennies for beer money and working during the summers or on weekends. The whole "rich kids are the cool kids" was too "Pretty In Pink" for my taste.
Carter has a bizarre relationship with his parents. His dad wants him to follow in the family business and doesn't want to face facts that his son is gay, and Carter wants to be a photographer. His mom appears timid and a little afraid of her husband. I didn't get the characterizations of Carter's parents (and their weird 180 in their personalities near the end), and I didn't fully get the chemistry between Carter and Mason. It seemed a bit forced for my taste.
While this book was a quick read, and honestly pretty pleasant overall, it had lots of cringe-worthy issues for me. Solidly 2.5 stars.

If I had to sum this short novella up in one word, I'd probably go with "awkward."
The first parts of the book, the words on the page just didn't flow for me. I kept mentally stopping when a paragraph just felt off for me, which was pretty distracting.
Fortunately, the awkwardness dissipated a bit and the book finally got into a rhythm that didn't annoy me.
However, one thing that did annoy me was how much time Mason spent obsessing that he was a poor kid, wearing over-priced clothing, just to fit in with his peers at his up-scale university.
Mason was obsessed with fitting in, but we're never introduced to a single friend that he's trying to fit in with. So why the fuck was Mason constantly so worried and who exactly was he trying to impress? That was a real ass scratcher for me.
I actually did like Carter's character better, as the artistic rich kid with a bullying father who was used to everyone falling in line with his every command.
The romantic relationship aspects of the book seemed a bit rushed.
I actually found myself a bit more interested in the familial relationship between the boys and Carter's parents than the actual feelings between the boys.
I could actually see a domineering, but ultimately caring, father figure pulling some of those stunts, in a misguided attempt to look out for his son's well-being and future.
And the part where Carter's controlling father ultimately admits that he wants a closer relationship with his son? That will probably be the single aspect of this story that will stick with me for more than a few days.
The one sexy scene seemed to devote more time to lube and putting on the condom than any actual sexual act, which disappointed me.
Then after staying the night together, we're fast forwarded in the story, bypassing a lot of relationship building, which is one of my favorite parts of M/M books, and head straight into more interactions with the parents.
Overall, the story was okay, but not overly memorable, so I'd rate it around 2 1/2 stars for slightly below average.

Déjà vu. It’s either the excitement of reliving something great or boredom from repetitiveness. I had a strong sense of déjà vu and unfortunately it was the tedious type. Alternating point of views typically rank high on my list…well, if they are done right. I enjoy the dual inner monologue that you only witness from first person. But I don’t want to relive the same exact scene down to the same exact dialogue from each main character.
You will find this short novella starts out with Mason’s voice and the second chapter is word for word verbatim from Carter. The changes were slim and insignificant.
I can’t say I gained a single thing from the repeat of actions.
Not only did I have a weak start, but then we get to know the boys and my frail hold on the story threatened to break. I didn’t understand Mason. He is so utterly consumed by his financial status that he is blinded by the fact that he is not alone. He cares deeply about brand name clothing and maintaining a pretense that he comes from money. People that only care about what you have in your bank account aren’t worth having for friends in my opinion. I understand the desire to fit in, blend, and belong but he took it too far.
Mason is failing his math class and needs a tutor. He can’t afford a tutor therefore he is forced to pick up a part time job in the evenings. He grudgingly agrees to drive for the campus shuttle. He is mortified that someone might recognize him and he’s ashamed that he has to work. When a stranger on the shuttle reminds him that he does have a libido, he panics and creates an alias. He has forgotten that lies catch up to us at some point and his fib bites him in the ass sooner than he ever expected.
Carter is rolling in the dough but not freely. His parents have a path set for him and if he decides to stray, he will have to do it on his own dime. I liked Carter’s mother but as intended, I disliked his father. I applauded Carter when he stood up to his pretentious Dad, but found their new found connection far-fetched. A lot of ground was gained in such a short period of time, it was hard to hold onto.
I completely lacked the click with the story and the boys. Not only that but within the first ten percent I was battling garbled sentences and a few typos were distracting enough to racket up my frustrations. I think I have less than normal patience for such errors when the length of the story is short.
The cover is really great though, isn’t it?

A Joyfully Jay review.
4.25 stars
I love it when I read a story and I can fully understand exactly where the characters are coming from. And that’s what this short novella has. It’s not bogged down with a ton of secondary characters, and mostly we see just the interaction between the MCs. And let me tell you, I appreciated that I truly got what these characters were thinking and that they acted accordingly with their feelings. Even if I didn’t agree, I understood it, and that makes for great storytelling.
We have two young men who are hiding parts of themselves for very good reasons. At least, that’s what they think. Mason feels that he needs to fit in so that he isn’t pitied as the poor orphan, and he’s been struggling and trying to do that since he started college. But he’s determined to get a good education, and he’ll do whatever he has to in order to make that happen. Carter has his own issues, never knowing if his friends really like him or if they want to be friends because of his family’s money. Add to that an antagonistic father who wants things his way or no way, and Carter is struggling to be himself. Both MCs are incredibly well drawn, and I found myself understanding them totally. And I appreciated the way they felt like real people. Sometimes they made bad choices and screwed up, but these two guys have good heads on their shoulders and they look at things realistically while still having a positive and hopeful outlook, at least eventually. Really, I adored these two and their connection with each other, and I would have been just as happy to spend more time with them.

Cute little story told in alternating POVs. The first 2 chapters were pretty rough. Basically the second chapter retells the same events as chapter one (including same exact dialog) from the other MC's POV. Not good. But after that, things picked up and I enjoyed Mason and Carter.

This has not been a good weekend for me reading wise. This story? A bit of a dud (for me, at least). I think the characters and the storyline was somehow too simplistic, maybe?

I was given this book by Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review.
I don’t really know what to say. This was a short story that just couldn’t capture my attention. It did have some editing errors and sometimes that is just too distracting for me. I mean, why you would have the first two chapters basically the same just in a different POV is beyond me. To me that is just wasting pages. This has me very sad because this was my first book by this author and I had high hopes. Not sure if I’ll read anymore of her books.

** 3.5 Stars **
Mason Downing was failing his precalculus math class and was told he needs a tutor. Finances are rough… more likely impossible. If it were not for his full scholarship, he would not even be in college. So to have a tutor, he will need a job and is not sure how he will be able to fit that in as well while carrying a full load of classes. But with his counselor’s help, Carter Lantor is chosen as his math tutor and Mason finds a part-time job to make it feasible. He hates the idea of being a shuttle driver because that makes him a bigger social outcast by driving the rich kids all over. But with only 4 weeks until the next precalc exam, he really doesn’t have a choice. His tutor, Carter, has issues of his own, continuously under a great deal of pressure from his father from several directions. With Mason trying to fit in with the wealthy students and Carter distracted with his father’s unreasonable interference, can they sort things out and help each other find a way to move forward in a way that they can both find happiness and success?

A quick read about two college guys from different sides of the tracks. What most bothered me was the huge chip on the “poorer” guys’ (Mason) shoulder. He had such a fear about others finding out about his lack of money and how he would be treated yet it was never rationalized by any past instances. This theme and his judgment of all rich people was too prominent in the story. It made me think that he was judging others unfairly for being rich when others (in the world) would judge him unfairly for being gay. Carter on the other hand was trying to deal with his over-bearing father insisting on him taking over the family business and him not being gay. He did this by staying away from his family instead of standing up for who he is. Meeting each other helped them understand what was important in life and that sometimes you have to fight for what you want – whether that is a passing grade or a chance at happiness. Overall, a common plot about two individuals finding each other and how we aren't all that different, we all struggle to find happiness and our place in this world.

My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️.5
Disclaimer: I received a review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thanks Book Sirens.
General Thoughts: I don't read many novellas or many m/m romances, so I went into this one with few expectations. It wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed it. S.C. Wynne created engaging characters with interesting backgrounds. It's extremely fast-paced since it's a novella and so you don't have a full novel to explore characters, building of the relationship, etc. But for a novella, I thought the author did a great job creating an engaging story with intriguing characters. The first two chapters, where we got both MMC's POV of the same scene could feel slightly repetitive or clunky to some, but I didn't mind it, and it's the only time you get the same scene twice.
On the whole, I enjoyed it.
Steam Meter: ❤️🔥❤️🔥 very few sexual scenes and not very graphic at all.

For me this was a bust. DNF.
I made it to 50% but just simply could not go on.
I accepted an arc via Booksprout believing this to be a new release.
From the very beginning, I couldn't help feeling that this was written a long time ago. The writing/dialogue etc is fair, but the plot is just ridiculous. This is clearly written before this author gained the experience to pen a decent novel (novelette - whatever).
This was confirmed when I read some reviews dating back almost a decade.
So, no. I can't recommend this one.
I feel that the author could have been more forthright about this, and added in the description that this is a re-release, but it's also evident that she has made no effort to improve on it in honor of the relaunch.
This is a bunch of immature nonsense.

Mason and Carter are a couple of college guys that happen to both be keeping secrets. Mason hides the fact that he is at the expensive college on scholarship and driving a shuttle to pay for the tutoring he desperately needs to keep the scholarship. Carter is hiding who he really is from his parents because his interest and desires do not fit in to his father's plans for him. When they meet it begins with a fib from Mason until they meet for the first tutor session and a few things come to light. Follow these two young men as they navigate not only their relationship but others' expectations of them. This is a good quick read of two young men finding their way in the world.

This book focuses on Mason and Carter. Mason and Carter both attend the same college and meet when Carter is assigned to be Mason’s tutor. Mason is struggling to keep his head above water in many different aspects while trying to get an education. Carter grew up privileged but is ultimately unhappy because his dad is trying to push him into a life he doesn’t want. Once they meet, it doesn’t take them long to realize what they want out of life and doing what they have to do to make the life they want a reality. I really enjoyed this story.

This was a quick, pleasant insta attraction read with characters who each had hang ups to overcome. Mason about money and how people perceive him in relation to that and Carter also about money, but on the other end of tbe spectrum and his relation to his father. Against this these young find they like eachother and explore that. I liked what the author did with an almost similar chapter from both mwn their pov, but that did feel repetitve to me. The other chapters where not written in that way and worked better for me.

Hiding to be accepted or hiding to preserve the appearance of his family who does not accept him? The two situations of the main characters of Carter and Mason are interesting at a turning point in their lives. I liked the original way in which they meet. They are cute in their approaches with their flaws, their choice to hide. It's a good romance that has some hot scenes but also leaves room for tenderness and acceptance.

This was a quick, adorable read. Mason has had it tough the last few years and the last thing he wants is to flunk Precal and lose his scholarship, enter Carter. Carter’s life is kinda all over the place, he feels like his father doesn’t accept him and is forcing him to do something he hates. When he is asked to tutor a math student he doesn’t second guess it. Last thing either was expecting was the pull between them.
I came across this book looking for something to read and I’m so glad I did. I’ll definitely be reading more by this author. 🖤🔥📸🔥🖤

I didn’t really understand why Mason was so adamant that nobody at college could relate to him because he is not rich. Even in the face of other students kindness or friendliness, Mason runs from making any connections. Just didn’t make sense without more foundation. Carter was easier to connect with, I liked his personality a bit more than Mason. Carter’s parents were genuinely infuriating, like really rage inducing. For me, they were let off the hook too easily. Carter and Mason are cute once Mason opens up a bit.

Mason was at a college with a scholarship but hid it until he was told he needed a tutor to pass his math class or lose it. Had to get a job taking students different places to pay for the tutor, Carter rode his bus once he wanted to take Morgan’s picture was told no. Then Carter shows up as his tutor he had to work to make Mason trust him to help him. Mason helped Carter to stand up for himself and explain everything he felt and how much he loved Mason to his father to try to get his father to accept him. Good book!

Mason is a college sophomore in need of a tutor for calculus. Carter is recommended to him, and it turns out Mason had met him before in more uncomfortable circumstances ( from Mason’s point of view). The two are attracted to each other from the start and things progress quickly. Problems occur on Carter’s home front, putting their relationship in jeopardy unless Carter can defuse the situation.
Very short story, interesting characters, realistic plot leading to a HEA.

A short sweet book. Mason and Carter were great together. Mason is on the verge of losing his scholarship and needs a tutor to help him pass his major. He needs a job in order to pay for the tutoring. Carter is the tutor and he's having problems at home with his family. The book is about acceptance, being who you are, romantic, sweet, and sassy. I love how Carter gets his point across to Mason and his father. The book had my attention from start to finish.

Good short read with nice balance throughout. I liked the way the changing POV was used, sometimes for the exact same scene to show the way the characters experienced the happenings very differently, based a lot on their very opposite experiences with family, money and so on. It was nice how both MCs grew in a short time.

Carter is Mason's tutor in college though Mason is keeping secrets from him. This short novella is a quick story of two young guys finding each other and maturing enough to change the directions of their lives. There romance is sweet with little angst but not much to it. A pleasant little read. I received a copy of this book through Booksirens and this is my voluntary opinion.

This is a short but sweet story.
Carter and Mason are great together, even being from opposite sides of the track/tax bracket, they made it work fabulously. I think my most favourite part of this book was Carter and his dad having a heart-to-heart.
A very pleasant read!
