Good Boys Don’t

Nate doesn’t fit in with his friends from church. He isn’t all that religious. He likes music his parents wouldn’t approve of. He’s gay. He’s determined to stay under the radar, but a chance meeting with a handsome biker who flirts Nate out of his modesty might throw those plans out of the window.

K. A. Merikan is a duo of queer writers who don’t believe in following the well-trodden path. In their books you can dip your toe into dangerous romance with mafiosi, outlaw bikers and bad boys, all from the safety of your sofa. They love the weird and wonderful, stepping out of the box, and bending stereotypes both in life and in fiction. Their stories don’t shy away from exploring the darker side of M/M romance, and feature a variety of anti-heroes, rebels, misfits, and underdogs who go against the grain.
Be prepared for shocking twists, dark humor, raw emotions, and sizzling hot scenes.

K.A. Merikan also writes steamy M/M romcoms as Devon Doe.

Una historia corta que se centra exclusivamente en la atracción, la química que hay entre los protagonistas, un joven que no sabe nada del mundo ni del sexo y una estrella de rock. La química entre ellos es bestial y al parecer no solo en el tema físico así que deciden ver qué les depara el futuro.
Un "guarrerismo" corto pero intenso muy bien escrito.

This was super hot and sadly super short too.
It was very Insta love and gosh this could have gone so wrong for Nate but I am actually glad it didn’t took this turn. I really liked it.
But it definitely got me interested in reading other books of the author.

Short, sexy and a little sweet. This felt more like the beginning of a larger story rather than a standalone short. I liked the characters and situation but there wasn’t enough here to rate higher.

So hot! A great quickie read (pun intended) from my favourite writing duo. We got a little bit of rock star and a little bit of biker mixed with a shy virgin. Total jackpot! The story moved quickly and got right down to business. Very hot read; the MCs have great chemistry. It was a great pick me up at the end of a long day. Just what I needed!

A virgin who isn’t as religious as everyone around him seems to think and a big, bad biker who knows exactly who he wants and makes it happen...put those two together and what do you get? A seriously HOT short read.

Not a lengthy book in any sense - just a quick steamy read. But I’m not complaining...

"Wait.
It wasn’t just pure interest. There was something else in that dark gaze, an intense heat that was already licking Nate’s back with its fire.
Was this gaydar?"

"“He’s exactly the kind of man Reverend Allen told us to watch out for. He’s one step from Satan.”
Nate swallowed and approached lust personified. The guy didn’t avert his gaze, and instead, his full lips quirked in… invitation? A challenge?"

K.A. Merikan tends to bomb with their LGBT romances, but this one being just 9,000 words seems to have kept it from going to dark and depraved places as their works tend to. The characters are mostly names, as is a tendency among an Merikan book, but at least the relationship isn't foul or awful.

Everything happens fast, obviously. Curtis sweeps Nate up with attraction and Nate just agrees to come alone in many ways. It's consensual and a quick smut story.

Just two gays whirlwinding recklessly and running away together.

This was a short story about a young closeted Christian guy with dreams of breaking free (if only for a night) from his oppressive Church centered life. Well, he does break free, in more ways than he could've ever fathomed. Now, the choice is his- does he go back home with fond memories of his walk on the wild side, or does he hop on the back of a hotties bike and ride off into the rock'n'roll sunset? I'll never tell, but you should find out for yourself.

Not a romance per se but it ends promising something more and I hope they are HEA.

Still, it was incredible hot A cute, young virgin of 18 who comes from a very religious family, and a rock star of around 30 who is instantly smitten with this cute boy.. except it turns out the boy is not as "good" as they both thought he was.

This is really short novella
Only 37 pages.
But aww, I enjoyed it.🔥🔥🔥

This is a fast, steamy read.
There's no time for dates or anything like that in this story.
Such unnecessary things.👀😂

Nate is just a virgin.
Curtis is a sexy guy who definitely knows what to do and how to do it.

"Nate had never seen anything hotter than his own d!ck disappearing between Curtis's lips."

It's simple, it's sexy, it's something you can read before you go to sleep, for example.👀😅

I went for the cover, I like it so much! So many colors.
Such a shining unicorn.🦄

I really like the story. My only complaint is that it's too short.

Highly recommend!

When religion, rock music and sex clash. Poor Nate thought he was on a church outing, then he ends up in a hotel room with a rock star learning what it really means being gay. A short, hot tale of a young man's sexual awakening.

Short, but surprisingly hot and sweet. The ending made me feel a tad bittersweet, because I would love to see how the two of them are doing together in the future.
