Men of Virtue #3
Courage
"It's just a bunch of college boys having fun. What's your problem?"
Austin Freeman isn't exactly a free man. He's out and proud about his sexuality - but still he hides behind the mask of an average college guy, unwilling to embrace his fem side in public. He just wants to fit in, and that's part of why he's pledging Delta Tau Ro.
"My problem is I'm not letting some guy hit me with a paddle or...whatever else goes on."
Dex Paulson doesn't want to go to college. He doesn't want to be on the wrestling team. He doesn't want to pledge his father's fraternity. And he doesn't want to pretend that he's straight.
When Austin and Dex are paired up as part of the campus' new Rush initiative, they aren't prepared to recognize each other from a disastrous bullying incident they'd shared years ago. But as time goes by - and their interactions with the fraternity grow more intense - they're forced to confront the emotions they stir in each other.
Can Dex and Austin bring themselves to admit that opposites really do attract?

This one had some bad spots in it... and a lot of good spots.. i honestly wasnt all that fond of Dex at first though., i felt like he was mean more then not.. Austin seemed like a good guy and really liked dex so it made me sad.. but they did eventually both grow on me and i ended up liking them together. i am glad i got to review it because it was a good read.

Great
What can I say, this is a great book. Dex and Austin are a great couple. Their love seems to develop over time, but their connection seems to be immediate. Austin has his knight and Dex has his prince.

This book was amazing. While I thought Austin was great, it was Dex's growth that blew me away. Best one in the series and I love the series. Can't wait for the next one. I received a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy.

Austin was wonderful, but he didn't make up for the rest.

Dex is hard to like at first, but his character begins to develop a bit as the book goes along. The author portrays Dex as a very conflicted person who is being forced into his father's mold against his own will.
Austin is very lovable from the very beginning. He has a feminine side that he suppresses in the need to fit in with the college life. So he decides to join a fraternity.
The two have history with a terrible bullying incident in their pasts and are now rushing the same fraternity and are paired up. While they spend time together, their thoughts and feelings come to the surface, complicating an already tangled relationship.
I struggled a bit to enjoy Dex but in the end I decided he was worth liking. The book was well worth the read.

*I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book*
Dex and Austin have an interesting history with each other, but neither talk about it when they are partnered up to be Rush buddies. Each have things they prefer to hide from others, yet the chemistry between them cannot be denied no matter how cold Dex may act. When they are forced to admit their secrets theirs a possibility that they may be put in a vulnerable spot. Dex and Austin had to rely on each other and overcome their fear to work as a team to overcome the danger that they encounter and be able to be themselves.

No. Again with no condom used?
I did not like this story for so many reasons. Austin was sweet and I liked his character a lot. Dex, on the other hand, was just a mean guy. He never treated Austin with respect and his character bordered on cruel throughout. Also, there was simply no reason for these two to get together. They had no chemistry whatsoever. And...again no condom used...and these were college kids with a lot of random hookups. Won't be reading any more of this author's books since she can't be bothered with safe sex. Totally irresponsible and sends the wrong message.

This was a good read. Quite deep really as both Mcs had a lot of things to over come.
Austin has his love of femininity in heels, dance and further in the book makeup.
Dex has the thoughts of his father to overcome. He is so far into the closet its painful to see his interactions with Austin to start.
During rush a relationship of sorts happens. It's essential friends with benefits. But Austin is in deeper than that.
It takes a bit but Dex comes on board with Austin and things progress.
It's well written and develops well. I have really enjoyed reading this series.

Consent Required!
This book starts off a little scary and then it picks up a couple of years later and their additional meeting was a misconception by one. The characters have fraternity and family drama but they get through it together. Good read!

I like that these two gradually trusted each other and found the courage to be honest and open with themselves and those in there lives. The lack of condoms is still wrong.
