Rating: 3 stars
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Jonas needs Tate. He just doesn't know it yet.
Or at least, he doesn't want to admit it. Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay. He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his struggle to convince everyone—especially himself—didn't leave him so miserable. No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is.
Enter Tate. He's smart, confident, and instantly sees right through Jonas's surly exterior. Sure, he's done things in life he's not proud of, but he knows who he is and what he wants. And what he wants is Jonas. As their easy friendship intensifies into something more, Tate introduces Jonas to a life he's never known. One filled with acceptance and sex and a love that terrifies and excites them both.
But some inner demons refuse to be shaken off so easily. When Jonas's old life barges in, he faces a shattering choice, one that could destroy everything he and Tate have fought so hard for. Sometimes love just isn't enough—and sometimes it's exactly what you need.

My (spoiler-free) thoughts:
This was quick and easy to listen to but I have to say that sex scenes in an audiobook are NOT my jam. :)
Other than that minor detail, the book was okay. Plotwise it wasn’t anything that I haven’t seen before, but I did appreciate the fact that there wasn’t any unnecessary drama because of any misunderstandings or due to the MCs not communicating with each other. Speaking of, Jonah and Tate were both enjoyable characters with their flaws(although Tate was written as fairly perfect) and I thought that they gelled together quite nicely. The side characters started out as a bit flat but after the halfway point they really started to come into their own and added nicely to the story.
Overall, the book had a perfect balance of lightness and angst and the perfect amount of steamy sexy times (which is always appreciated). However, there was a lot of drama at the end that I thought was resolved a bit too quickly. It made the whole ending seem just a bit improbable and like it was added just for drama’s sake.
