This smutty read was totally fine to begin with.
Porn, porn, porn, porn, itty bit of plot, porn, porn, porn.
And then everything went all humiliation and the previously-nice, gay MC decided to turn into a verbally-abusive, Dominatrix without Mercy asshole.
And there was a seriously insane amount of talk about NON-EXISTENT female genitalia.
Below are a few prime examples:
------------
He started stroking Tyler’s cock weirdly, as if it were…as if it were a clit.------------
“Say: thank you for your cock, Nick. I missed having it in my pussy.”------------
He wanted to crush his mouth against Nick’s and shove his tongue down his throat. And then he wanted to rub his crotch against Nick’s face, have him suck on his clit.------------
Nick whispered filth into his ear, saying what a good girl he was, how good his hand felt, how badly Nick wanted to spread Tyler’s legs right there and push into his hungry little pussy. It was humiliating. It was emasculating.------------
“Don’t worry,” Nick said, wanking his cock over Tyler’s face. “I’m going to eat you out so good, suck on your clit for hours until you beg for my cock.”------------
The story suddenly went from a nice, clueless, straight guy having an "unusual" itch that his very caring, gay best friend helped him "scratch".
To something totallllllllly different and slightly degrading in the blink of an eye.
So yeah, at 40% into the story, the totally vanilla, gay guy in me was suddenly OUT, DONE, with a look on my face like...
2 stars for the goddamn WHIPLASH.

Sixth re-read: 22.03.2021
When you've re-read one in this series, you can't just stop with that one, you have to at least re-reading another book in the series. It's sick how obsessed with this series I am, especially since it's not even that fucking good. I'm losing it.
Fifth re-read: 08.10.2020
This is getting ridiculous. I just found myself smiling at this book. It's not even that good. Ty is annoying as fuck, but there's something there that draws me to him - his insecurities. I completely understand him. Plus, Nick's hot. I just want more.
New rating: 3 stars.
Forth re-read: 24.02.2020
I keep going back and forth on the rating after each re-read. Sometimes I like it more than the previous times, sometimes less. I think it's Tyler who only works for me when I'm in some sort of mood that I have yet to figure out.
New rating: 2.5/3 stars.
Third re-read: 24.11.2019
Don't look at me like that. I couldn't help me. I was bored and needed something easy and Straight Guys gives me that. Though I really wanted to re-read book one again but I just did that. Jesus, I've read this book THREE times THIS year.
Second re-read: 10.08.2019
It's not that the book is bad per se, it's just that Tyler is a bit dumb. The concept is interesting though, and Nick is really, really hot. But Tyler's..... naivety (is that a word?)/stupidness ruins it. But I still like the simplicity of it.
New Rating: 3 stars.

Oh wow, this is not good. I found myself really annoyed with Tyler this time around. I mean, for me, he isn't this cute, clueless guy who just doesn't know any better like the character in Leo Loves Aries by Anyta Sunday , he's more like an... idiot. I'm sorry. I really am, but for some reason I couldn't help but to feel this way this time. Perhaps it's my mood or something. Anyways, this last re-read of the series wasn't as successful as I had hoped.
New rating: 2.5 stars
The 9th book in the Straight Guys series centers around Tyler ‘Ty’ Meyer (24) and his best friend Nick Hardaway (25). We met Nick in book Just a Bit Confusing (SG #5), I think. Or did we meet him earlier than that? Perhaps in Tristan's book? I don't remember, I never liked Tristan so I have only read his book once. Anyways the two of them - Ty and Nick that is - met in secondary school and has been friends ever since.
When Ty gets a finger up his ass by a hock-up, his life suddenly changed; he got obsessed with having something fill him up and pound into him, but he's straight. So who else to pound him than his best friend Nick? However, things get extremely confusing for Ty as he finds himself wanting more... Nick on the other hand is quite closed off, and Ty can't read him at all, which makes him even more confused.
Overall, it's a somewhat good story, yet it was incredibly frustrating and I'm not all that into the kink which the book had... I have a feeling I know just who the next book is about though ( and I can't wait for Derek and Shawn to be secondary characters. I've missed them. Oh and I'm surprised at how hot I found Nick. Wished we had gotten to know him more though...

“You do realize that gay men aren’t the only people who can get off from anal stimulation, right? Actually, some gay men don’t even like it. A finger in your ass doesn’t make you gay, you twat.”
Tyler breathed out. Nick was right. Nick would know better. Nick was actually gay. Unlike Tyler.
“But,” he said, chewing on his lip. “The problem is, it’s messed me up—the finger thing. I can’t even wank without feeling like something is missing. I fucked a really hot girl yesterday and it felt—I dunno, so unsatisfying, man. A lot less intense.” He looked at Nick imploringly. “You’re gay—you get it, right?”
Nick looked at him strangely. “Not really, actually. I’m not…” He raked his fingers through his black hair with a wry smile. “It’s not really my thing, Ty.”
Tyler blinked. “But you’re gay.” He felt almost betrayed. Nick was supposed to be the person who would get it.
Nick gave him a somewhat pinched look. “As I said, not all gay men like it.” He shrugged. “It doesn’t do much for me. Not worth the hassle. I guess my prostate isn’t that sensitive. But it looks like yours is, so congrats. Enjoy.”

The 9th book in the Straight Guys series centers around Tyler ‘Ty’ Meyer (24) and his best friend Nick Hardaway (25). We met Nick in book Just a Bit Confusing (SG #5), I think. Or did we meet him earlier than that? Perhaps in Tristan's book? I don't remember, I never liked Tristan so I have only read his book once. Anyways the two of them - Ty and Nick that is - met in secondary school and has been friends ever since.
It was annoying that he still couldn’t lie to Nick for shit, even after all these years. It wasn’t like they lived in each other’s pockets nowadays. They didn’t go to the same school anymore: Nick was in law school while Tyler hadn’t bothered with uni after sixth form, choosing to work at his family’s pub instead. They had different friends these days, different interests and everything.
But fuck it. Nick Hardaway was still his best friend. They were bros for life; Tyler knew that. They hadn’t lost contact even in the year Tyler had lived with his grandparents in L.A. When he’d returned to London, their friendship was as solid as ever. Tyler had been the first person Nick had come out to, the person Nick had trusted the most. Like, they didn’t really talk about feelings—they weren’t little girls—but they both knew they had each other’s back, no matter what.
When Ty gets a finger up his ass by a hock-up, his life suddenly changed; he got obsessed with having something fill him up and pound into him, but he's straight. So who else to pound him than his best friend Nick? However, things get extremely confusing for Ty as he finds himself wanting more... Nick on the other hand is quite closed off, and Ty can't read him at all, which makes him even more confused.
“Everyone gets sick of me.”
“Here we go again,” the girl muttered, sounding exasperated.
“They do,” Tyler said, and threw his drink back.
“Go home, mate.”
“Mum once told Dad that she wasn’t surprised that I don’t have any other friends besides Nick,” Tyler said into his glass. “I overheard.”
He could feel the girl’s eyes on him. She didn’t say anything.
“People get sick of me,” Tyler mumbled. “They always do. I’m too much—too needy.” He knew he was likable—at first. People always said he was easy to be around. He was loud, a little cocky, a bit of a whore for attention, but always well-meaning. People generally didn’t mind him. He’d always had plenty of buddies—but just one friend. Nick was the only friend who’d stuck around for years, the only one who hadn’t eventually gotten tired of him, the only one who didn’t seem to mind his dumb jokes, his immaturity and his neediness. Everyone but Nick always told him to grow up. Nick was the only one who seemed to like him the way he was.
But it looked like Nick had finally gotten sick of him, too. It was probably bound to happen. If his own parents found him a total disappointment, of course Nick would get sick of his shit too. It was inevitable. So there was no reason to be so upset. It was fine. He could deal.
Overall, it's a somewhat good story, yet it was incredibly frustrating and I'm not all that into the kink which the book had... I have a feeling I know just who the next book is about though ( and I can't wait for Derek and Shawn to be secondary characters. I've missed them. Oh and I'm surprised at how hot I found Nick.

“Gimme another bottle,” Tyler told the barmaid.
“Nope,” she said. “You’ve definitely had enough. Look, go home. Or call your boyfriend and tell him to take you home.”
“He isn’t my boyfriend,” Tyler said, his brows furrowed in confusion. He thought he’d already told her that. Or hadn’t he? “I’m not even his type,” he mumbled. “He doesn’t want me, not like that. Even if I were gay—and I’m not—he wouldn’t choose someone like me.” Tyler’s lips twisted. “He’d never choose someone like me. I’m…I’m me. He always goes for interesting, successful guys, not losers like me.”

idk why i enjoyed so much on my first read of this ngl. i mean, i don't begrudge myself some fun (duh) but i felt like Nick was just indulging Tyler in whatever kinks/fantasies he had, and i really couldn't see the real "feelings" he had for Tyler. whereas i felt like Tyler actually did "love" Nick to a certain extent? and turns out i'm not a fan of the kink, like, at all. hm. and i'm just saying, i only reread this one bc i wanted to read the entire series in order again (with the books i already read OUT of order before) and it's not like i wanted to reread this one. 😭
oh! i think the best thing in this was the epilogue with everyone and their banter, and the glimpses of tristanzach and their happy marriage, bc i swear, they're the cutest and my babies. 🥰🥺

i found this so very entertaining, surprisingly enough! (everyone say thank you to Imme for unintentionally recommending it, even though it was in a bad way 🤣)
it was so much fun and i really enjoyed, even though the kink wasn't really for me? and i'm just turning a blind eye to that bc it was really weird, but whatever. 💀
Nick was such an asshole most of the time but i guess he had a reason for that? the person i truly liked was Tyler though. the way he was confused about his sexuality, i feel like it was very natural. and he was so cute and clingy and adorable, it was so sweet!!
the entire book was basically this exchange:
Tyler: i'm not gay.
Nick: ... okay.
Tyler: can i please have your dick in my ass now?
Nick: ... okay.
Tyler: i'm completely not gay!
Nick: okay... 😒
Tyler: can i suck your dick now?
Nick: FINE and you're not gay?
Tyler: is that a trick question?
Nick: ... *exasperated* you're so wet for me...
i needed a laugh and some fun, and this gave me just that. along with a good dose of some clinginess (which i can never say no to) and sweetness. ngl i feel like the kink? or whatever that fetish was supposed to be? wasn't explored properly, which wasn't great. but i'm in a good mood today so 3 stars this is.

Not going to say much. I’m just one happy goo now. So hot, intense and satisfying. I wish Alessandra Hazard writes one book a week and it still won’t be enough for me. Devoured it in one sitting .. like always. And I love Hardaway mans. And I also loved that gullible, naive and clueless Ty and his ridiculously adorable and protective Nick. Loved, looooooved it!

December 14, 2018From flirting with 5 stars, to "hand me the barf bag"...
...This, my friends, was an epic crash and burn.
I've written more than 250 reviews here on Goodreads without needing to use gifs, but trying to explain this reading experience requires visual aids -- a steady supply of alcohol wouldn't hurt either. So, here goes:
I was positively in love with this book up to almost 40%. It was so funny, clever, smoothly-written, entertaining and, well... charming. Of course the basic premise was borderline insane, but suspending disbelief was paying off for me big time. I laughed. I laughed a LOT.
When the inevitable happened, and Nick and Tyler's fuck-buddy happy times stirred up deeper feelings in them, the story went in a direction I could never have imagined.
Straight to hell.
The dynamic between them shifted -- and in a way that never made sense to me, because although we got Nick's POV before this change, we never got it afterward -- so, just like Tyler, I never knew what was going on in Nick's head from that point on.
Suddenly Nick started up with dirty talk, during foreplay and sex, speaking of Tyler's body in the crudest terms, but as if Tyler had a female body and genitalia instead of male. Eh, that's not a very good way of explaining it, but it was gross and I'd rather spend as little time as possible lingering over it.
Three points to help put my complaints in context:
- Reading dirty talk makes me cringe. Maybe shudder a little too. It's possible I've read a book or two that pulled it off in a way that didn't repulse me, but if so I can't remember what it was.
- If Nick had actually been having sex with a woman in those scenes, and was using that language to her, I would still have been cringing. Not sexy.
- Talking to a man about his female parts (there's not even a way to write it that makes any sense) is possibly the least erotic thing I've ever encountered. Like, it had all the erotic charge of stepping barefoot into a fresh pile of dog shit.
Of course, there's probably a dog-shit-stepping-into kink, because there's likely a kink for everything. I mean, there wouldn't be a word for necrophilia unless it was a thing, right? And the book informed me that this dirty talk between the guys was cross-gender kink. Okay. That's fine. Enjoy your kink, Nick and Tyler -- I fully support all types of sexual shenanigans between consenting adults. Preferably living adults, but hey, who am I to judge?
But I don't always want to read about it. And this was one of those times. My lovely, funny, potentially 5-star book went in a direction that squicked me out.
As always, YMMV. And now I'm going to go sit in a corner and feel sorry for myself.

Just a Bit Gay is book nine in the Straight Guys series by Alessandra Hazard. This is my very first book by Alessandra. It was no problem at all jumping in to this series at book nine. The only down fall was that I hadn’t met the other characters yet but it didn’t take away at all from this story.
Tyler Meyer is a twenty four year old man that manages a pub for his uncle for a living. Tyler is a bit of a player and takes home a different woman every night. But he is not in the least bit interested in getting involved in any kind of a relationship. One night, the woman he is with does something to him that makes him question everything. He shouldn’t have enjoyed that should he? He is a straight man that loves sex with women. So who better than to discuss it with than his gay best friend, Nick.
Nick Hardaway and Tyler have been best mates forever. Nick has a huge, close knit family. He is a law school student. When Tyler thinks about it for too long, he feels like a bit of a failure. All of his friends are pursuing careers, marrying, having kids, moving on. Tyler’s parents are super conservative and never hesitate to tell him what a disappointment he is.
Nick has a couple of suggestions to help Tyler with his new found erogenous zone but it’s not enough. Since Nick is gay, Tyler decides that they can enter into a type of deal that will be pleasurable for the both of them, but still just be best friends. Little by little, though, Tyler’s feelings begin to grow. His explorations with Nick gets bolder. Still, he fights the idea that he is anything but straight. Until he is faced with the fact that he could lose Nick completely if he doesn’t face up to the truth.
This was a fairly short, sweet, very hot read. I love the Gay For You trope. Even though I completely understood Tyler’s struggle, especially with the way his parents were, I did get a little annoyed with his somewhat immature approach to everything. So I didn’t feel the connection between the two of them as much as I wanted to. Still, it was fun and sexy and I enjoyed it. I look forward to looking through this author’s other works to see what she has written.

*2.5 stars*
Just a Bit Gay by Alessandra Hazard was my very first read in her "Straight Guys" series, and I was hoping for a bigger win from this story. Yes, I've read the reviews from my friends and I knew about the cross-gender kink and the humiliation kink <-- that's why I picked it up, people! Some may be totally turned off by those kinks but not me over here with the totally innocent face.
My issues are not kink-related (well, not entirely) but the whole structure and plotline of the story.
Just a Bit Gay was an old-fashioned GFY with a totally head-in-the-sand with a straight guy (yeah...) who just looooved the D. Let me be very clear, you can be 100% straight and love anal play, but the minute you are attracted to men, even if you aren't attracted to every man, you need to reevaluate your labels. I didn't buy the GFY, and I found it to be eye-rolling the whole way through. I liked how Tyler finally used the term "bisexual" at the end, but it was totally a doth protest too much situation happening here.
The romance was... not a romance. The two didn't really have any sort of communication AT ALL or romantic vibe, even at the end. It was very weird. I guess you can call it romance-adjacent??
Honestly, I'm fine with a sexy, kinky book with an underdeveloped romance if the kink makes sense, but it came out of nowhere. I didn't like that it also came out of a place more of anger than anywhere else. I ENJOY humiliation kink, and I think both guys here liked it too, but it was so sudden with no hint that that was something either one of these guys were into. I wanted it to make sense so badly because, like I said, I'm into that strange, niche kinky stuff! But it didn't work.
I also felt like the editing was rough. Look, if you are going to do a duel POV, you need to continue that all the way through. You can't just do it part way and then have Nick do a personality change and not get his POV. It just doesn't make any sense. It was jarring.
I love Alessandra Hazard's Calluvia's Royalty series, but this book was what I feared and not what I was hoping it would be. Sure, it had it's sexy moments, but the book was rushed and poorly edited and I wanted so much more. And, yes, more kink would have been good too.

Just a Bit Gay by Alessandra Hazard was my very first read in her "Straight Guys" series, and I was hoping for a bigger win from this story. Yes, I've read the reviews from my friends and I knew about the cross-gender kink and the humiliation kink <-- that's why I picked it up, people! Some may be totally turned off by those kinks but not me over here with the totally innocent face.
My issues are not kink-related (well, not entirely) but the whole structure and plotline of the story.
Just a Bit Gay was an old-fashioned GFY with a totally head-in-the-sand with a straight guy (yeah...) who just looooved the D. Let me be very clear, you can be 100% straight and love anal play, but the minute you are attracted to men, even if you aren't attracted to every man, you need to reevaluate your labels. I didn't buy the GFY, and I found it to be eye-rolling the whole way through. I liked how Tyler finally used the term "bisexual" at the end, but it was totally a doth protest too much situation happening here.
The romance was... not a romance. The two didn't really have any sort of communication AT ALL or romantic vibe, even at the end. It was very weird. I guess you can call it romance-adjacent??
Honestly, I'm fine with a sexy, kinky book with an underdeveloped romance if the kink makes sense, but it came out of nowhere. I didn't like that it also came out of a place more of anger than anywhere else. I ENJOY humiliation kink, and I think both guys here liked it too, but it was so sudden with no hint that that was something either one of these guys were into. I wanted it to make sense so badly because, like I said, I'm into that strange, niche kinky stuff! But it didn't work.

I have been a big fan of this series since book one and I have enjoyed all but one of them very much. Even though this is a bit of a shorty... I still really liked it. Now this series is called "Straight Guys" for a reason. They all feature a straight dude ending up in a gay relationship. Now they don't usually just lie down and take it (<---- see what I did there), most of them fight against being gay, although I don't really get why because they aren't really homophobes either.
Tyler is one of the straight guys desperately fighting against any "gay thoughts". Ever since his last hook up stuck a finger up his ass...he has been obsessed with his P spot. When a finger is not enough anymore he evolves to using a dildo and even to having a girl "peg" him. It's still not enough though, but what is he to do. He is NOT gay after all !!
Yeah.. so these two get it on and let me tell you...it wasn't quite as I was expecting. But, since I don't want to ruin the book for anyone, I am gonna keep my big mouth shut...
This was a shorty but a hottie and even though Ty did annoy me on more than one occasion, I also got that things weren't easy for him. I wish this would have been a more in-depth story but we don't always get what we want and this is way better than nothing.
I will leave this book with my favorite quote by my favorite character of this series:
I just think if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's stupid to pretend it isn't a duck.
.....Tristan
Can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next ;)

This story is a terrible car wreck. You know, one of those were the police have to usher curious onlookers away. Because that's how I felt reading this.
I DNF'd it at 50%, but would have stopped reading this disaster sooner, had I not been way too curious to see how things progressed.
First of all, even in romance literature, when has sex ever been the ONLY motivation a character could have?!
Straight guy (I am so laughing even describing him like that) Tyler likes his prostate massaged during sex. As his hook-up girlfriends often find that gross (and Tyler finds it emasculating asking a girl to do that to him), he talks his gay BFF Nick into helping him out by lending him his penis. Fuck buddy style. But he's straight, so no kissing or touching.
Nick has always had a secret infatuation with his straight best friend and of course fucking him again and again does a thing with his head, especially as Tyler painfully insists he wasn't gay (as if being gay was a bad thing, mind you!)
So far so good, that's why I was interested in the story.
BUT, Tyler suddenly turned into a real 'cock slut' (sic) and his whole world revolved around Nick's cock.
And Nick then tries to hurt him back by treating him like a girl (because he wasn't gay, so he must be a girl, if he likes cock so much), naming Tyler's body parts as if they were a woman's?!
Weird. As. Hell.
I feel bad rating a book low that I haven't even finished, but this one leaves me no choice...
1 star!

Oh my god, this was awful. I hate it so much. This might have been the worst relationship to ever exist.
Nick called Tyler a woman during sex, and not even in a kinky way, but instead he did it as a punishment and to humiliate him. I guess it turned into kink later on, but still. The intentions were horrible.
Nick took hate-sex to a whole new level and it bordered on sexual assault. It was even worse since they were supposed to be best friends. It’s not even an enemies-to-lovers thing (not that it would have been okay then). It was just uncomfortable and sad.
Even though Tyler was ridiculous and stupid in a way that was anything but endearing, he still had good intentions and was a nice guy overall. I felt really bad for him that Nick was such a bastard and that Nick suddenly turned so mean whereas he was supportive before; it was heart-breaking. Tyler basically lost his only friend and instead got humiliation, hatred and dismissiveness from the same guy in return.
Despite the awful treatment he got, Tyler was somehow still completely obsessed with Nick and was pretty much willing to do anything for his affection, approval and attention. He was constantly scared that Nick would get angry or get sick of him, and Nick gave him plenty of reason to fear such a thing. It seemed to me that Tyler was basically in an abusive relationship now. How awful.
Also, I’m pretty sure Nick was either a psychopath or had dissociative identity disorder. This dude creeped me out with his mood swings and personality switches. It was pretty insane and not at all normal.
The sex scenes were far too frequent and also anything but hot. Tyler was hyper-focused on dick, and was completely insatiable. He didn’t like men, but he always wanted a dick in his arse. Right..
And then when he did get that dick from his best friend, it didn’t take long for Nick to start aggressively calling him a slut and to always refer to his (non-existent) “wet pussy”. Um. No, thank you.
Anyway, it was so frustrating and so draining to be stuck inside Tyler’s head. It made me so mad and I genuinely just had to skim sometimes because I got so annoyed.
I was really hoping Tyler would tell Nick to fuck off and never speak to him again, but unfortunately that did not happen. He was a major doormat who repeatedly let himself get stomped on. I HATED IT.

this one was just okay-ish.
i couldn’t really connect with either of the characters. i didn’t particularly care about nick OR tyler. they gave me the worst kind of whiplash.
i suppose it was cute the way tyler was pining after nick though. the man was hilariously miserable, constantly pouting and acting like a needy puppy.🤣
as i mentioned, i didn’t care about them that much, but the sex scenes were pretty hot at times i guess. i liked the feminisation & the dirty talk, but honestly my deranged brain wanted ~more~ kinkiness.
the way tyler would melt and tremble every time nick went into his asshole mode was pretty hot though. who would have thought the sweetheart nick from previous books had a kinky side.
i liked the epilogue a lot. we got to see the couples from previous books being all cute and in love.🥰
not sure about the rating i wanna give this one. i guess 2.5 stars sounds about right… (imma just round it up to 3 since i’m feeling nice and generous)

~NO HOMO BRO~
When Tyler discovers he likes fingers in his ass during a hookup it unleashes pleasures he’s never known. So now catch him knuckles deep in himself and experiencing the best orgasms of his life. Next step is to lube up and get a dildo and thats exactly what his bestfriend gifts him with. Suddenly he’s obsessed with something in his butt, but it’s a lot of work and he’s about to get carpel tunnel because his wrists can’t keep up with the demands of his ass (it’s greedy).
Here’s an idea 🤔 why not get his bestfriend Nick whom happens to be gay to just do him, and I’m talking bout balls ⚽️ 🏀 🏈 deep. What could possibly go wrong?!
Well you know what goes wrong? Feelings....feelings happen, Tyler likes the D but you know....No Homo Bro
So not only does he like it balls deep he might also be balls deep in love (sigh). Tyler has to deal with his feelings but mostly he has to deal with Nick and his sudden change in mood. Are they still best mates or are they just fuck buddies. Its complicated but its also sexy. Tyler isn’t just a bit gay, he’s also very much a bisexual.
Overall, I liked this. I could have done less with Tyler’s over the top drama and his “I’m not gay” and “that’s gay”. They did get up to some hot times though and it was just a fun read to get through in an hour.
SideNote- Ummmm a petitition for a redo of that cover. Like what is it trying to say really?!!

the epilogue with the Hardaways siblings and their bfs just hanging out and being all cute was my favorite part 🥺
honestly, this wasn’t that bad. it was still entertaining and a fun read but this was the least convincing romance to me in this series (so far). they were cute in the end, but that’s kinda it lol. it was cute how Tyler was needy to Nick at times, but i still wished it wouldn’t have taken him until the very end to figure things out—or, if he wanted to take his time (which is perfectly valid), at least leave Nick out of it bc i totally understand where Nick was coming from when he said Tyler was fucking with his head with the back and forth. Zoe’s story did get to me though, it was pretty sad. ☹️

***2.75 rating***
"Nick had seen him in much more embarrassing situations. Moaning like a slut from having a cock in him was still probably in the Top 3, but whatever."
This book is so ridiculous make it stop😭
I want my time back😭😭.
What the heck were these last two books?
This whole book was a cringe fest. The only positive things were the last chapter, the epilogue and Zoe. If the sex scenes weren't so god awful and Tyler wasn't so sex crazed/cock obsessed this may have actually been a decent read. There was potential with the characters. In my opinion, Nick and Tyler had more connection than Dom and Sam. So it felt like a wasted opportunity but whatever. Nick wasn't that likeable either. He was a classic AH asshole but the other assholes from the previous books were better.
Sigh. It hurts to give AH 2 stars but I have to 💀.
My poor eyes had to endure this mess🤧😔.
R.I.P to the time I will never get back.

Told in dual POV, 3rd person, it’s the ninth installment in the "Straight Guys" series. It can be read as a standalone but it’s better if you read it in order. What I didn’t like was the sex scenes were too mechanical for my taste and I couldn’t feel the love between the MCs. Another thing is Tyler was VERY stubborn and it annoyed me. And another thing is I really didn’t like their dirty talks. It’s best friends-to-lovers story and a bit angsty. Overall, it was an okay read and I hope you enjoy it more than me!

I adored this book, review to come
Yikes 😬 there was so much whiplash in this book. One second Tyler would be all over nick and the next he was all grossed out. And then Nick would be all friendly and sort of nice to Tyler and then a complete asshole. Their friendship wasn’t even that good so you can imagine their “romance” being strained and awkward. Almost everything that Tyler said was offensive and I guess you could blame his asshole parents a bit. Again Nick really was a huge dick so at the end when they confessed their love to each other I didn’t buy it. The sex was hot but Tyler kept reminding us he wasn’t gay 🙄 ( god forbid we forget) and surprise surprise Nick was an ass. It also seemed like he was forcing Tyler to do stuff he wasn’t comfortable with during sex but I don’t know maybe he liked it? There was some humiliation and transsexual( it that the right word?)kink 🥵 anyways this book was just ok, definitely not the worst in the series. I did like the epilogue and seeing other the couples ( Zach and Tristan)

Just a Bit Gay was my first read by this author and a really great introduction to her writing. I loved Tyler and getting to see him discover some new desires with his best friend. He and Nick had some amazingly heated chemistry and together they were a great pair. It was fun seeing how Nick didn't treat Tyler with kid-gloves and instead kind of pushed him into accepting what he really wanted.
And their relationship definitely brought the heat to the book in an amazing way. I really liked these two together as they tried - not so hard though - to control the lust they had for each other. It really added a lot of passion and intrigue to the story. Definitely a M/M read that I recommend.

I always enjoy AH books but this one, although well written just lost me a bit in the characterization. She character hops when it's not important and doesn't when it is. I just never could reconcile mean/detached Nick from best friend Nick. I didn't understand it and I didn't get in his head to find out what he was doing and why. And I found the kink that got to Tyler a little strange. Ty was an overthinking man/boy that believed all the toxic masculine things too many boys grow up believing, despite his best friend being gay. He was shallow and insecure so this book was much too short for all the deep changes in thinking he made in such a short time, especially considering his kink. I wish I had found him endearing instead of callous, self absorbed and oversexed.
This was ok. Not the best in the series.

Okayish storyline with hot sex. I wished there was more of the kink though. Is this like the same Nick Hardaway from Zach and Tristan’s book? Who would’ve thought that there was something hiding below his good guy facade.
April 11, 2020
So, it would seem this is not my kink.
It would also seem that I might not need conventional romance in my reads but I do need at least a romantic connection, even a fucking thread of one.
There wasn't even a speck of romance in this book and did I mention this was totally not my kink? I'd have loved to have seen my face while reading. There were times I know that I totally jerked back from my Kindle.
So, this was worse than Just a Bit Confusing, WAY worse. I'm not going to let it bring me down though, I've got one more to read. Hopefully it is a winner!

God, Megan, you were so right. This one ranks pretty high on the guilty pleasure scale but it was just so damn delicious.
But… what was once again missing for me after the admission they were way past the state of being fuck-buddies…
…was a moment of emotional, sweet love-making after they had so much sex when they both held so much back, after all that pretending and Nick even turning into this cold, mean guy.
And ofc, all the “I’m not gay”s and “this is too gay”s were annoying as shit.
Still, like many guilty pleasures, this was oh so good, while being so wrong. *lol

“Are you seriously going to sleep? It’s barely ten!”
“I’ll have you know fucking you is a lot of work. Let a man sleep, Ty.”
God, Megan, you were so right. This one ranks pretty high on the guilty pleasure scale but it was just so damn delicious.
But… what was once again missing for me after the admission they were way past the state of being fuck-buddies…
“Is it…is it possible to be best mates who fuck and kiss, but exclusively?”
There was dead silence. Finally, Nick took Tyler’s chin in his hand and tipped his face up. Nick’s expression was a little pinched. “Are you looking for the word ‘boyfriend,’ maybe?”
…was a moment of emotional, sweet love-making after they had so much sex when they both held so much back, after all that pretending and Nick even turning into this cold, mean guy.
And ofc, all the “I’m not gay”s and “this is too gay”s were annoying as shit.
Still, like many guilty pleasures, this was oh so good, while being so wrong. *lol
