„Heartthrob” is M/M novel by Jerry Cole. It follows story about Trevor, Ben and Connor. We meet Trevor just as he comes out to his friends. That evening he ends up in the bar, where he meets both Benjamin and Connor. Things with Connor end up pretty quickly or at least it seems that way, and Trevor slowly develops relationship with Benjamin, the guy who’s making his heart throb.
I won’t say anything beyond that, because I don’t want to spoil it. Let me just tell you that someone is bat-shit crazy!
“I say we go kick his ass.”
well… you should’ve done just that.
The story was terrific. Nail-biting, engaging and all that jazz. Couldn’t put it down. Literally.
I loved Trevor and Benjamin, as well as Stacey and Paul - great, likable characters.
Recommended!

Sweet book!!!
Trevor was so sweet and innocent. I loved his character. When he met Benjamin and they began their shy romance, the story became even better and made me smile! While there was some angst with the creepy professor, I loved the way the author handled the whole scenario and brought the book to a happy ending. I would really like to see a HEA for these two guys. So I hope the author doesn't stop their story with a HFN!!!

First Love is something we remember forever.
First time? Also something that isn't forgotten..
You wrote a beautiful book. HeartThrob covers it all,
It's terrifying for some people when they come out as for the psychos that are out there or in this case in these pages..well I suggest you read HeartThrob and see what happens..

Words and Music..one of the greatest combinations!!
Trevor used his wonderful gift of words to help find himself and his place in the world. It also brought him to a love that was filled with music to compliment a new love between two people..friends and family!!! Well worth reading!! Wow!!!

Not bad :)... ***3.5 stars***
I thought this was a nice short read, however there was too much going on in my opinion. If the author expanded a bit more in some areas and took more time in others, maybe the book would not have felt so rushed and compact in some areas. All in all, this was a nice read. I cannot wait to see what is next from this author.

Not My Favourite.
I don't get it. Everybody seems to be raving about this book and I think it's a mess. It was rushed, unrealistic and there were plenty of details that were skipped/made no sense. I'd rather see a story written with care rather than rushed out like off of an assembly line.

Another Sweet Story
I love it when you just have a few hours to sit and enjoy a little bit of "man love" and one of Jerry Coles books are available. A vary sweet story of one shy guy, Trevor, and his new friend rocker, Ben. And a vary psychotic English Professor.

Cute story
A boy who finally comes out of closet has a very eventful and crazy time being introduced into the gay community. Handsome singer is a plus. Psychotic professor, wow. Short and sweet. I wanted more.

Really cute
This was a good story and I liked it. It was enjoyable and definitely worth reading. However it felt rushed and was too short, it needs pacing rather than going from zero to sixty in two seconds.

Great!
A sweet love story with a twist. This plot has a little drama and a little mystery that makes it hard to put down.

Well scripted
A sweet story of coming out in a most dramatic way. A good story with enough of both angst and drama. I can definitely see more Trevor and Benjamin in the future.
