If there were groups for this, I know exactly what I’d say. “My name is Thom Oliver, and I’m addicted. It’s been six months, 3 days, 14 hours since my last one night stand. Please keep Evan Llewellyn away from me. I think I’m going to rape him.”

A great story with an awfully misleading blurb. If only published works were as good as this.
The story is about two bull-headed, unyielding and egotistical dickheads who'd rather run their fledgling relationship in to the ground than back down from an argument or show any sort of vulnerability/weakness. The two MCs are so wonderfully drawn that they leap right off the page. Even though the narrative gets a little too philosophical for my liking, it's a beautifully written story, one that I would...more

This is an interesting struggle between two arrogant and proud gay men, neither of whom wants to display any weakness or take emotional risks. I liked the difficult bastards fighting against themselves and each other. Definitely not an HEA, only the possibility of an HFN so be warned.

Zebbie is brilliant! There is just that special way the author uses to explain things, situations, opinions and feelings. They seem real and reasonable. There isn’t a work of Zebbie which isn’t terrific.
Cold Turkey is about two men who won’t admit their attraction for each other. It starts as rejection, turns into a hate-love affair and ends in hope. As an emotional damaged person I can relate to that and say: well done. Because that is exactly how you feel when you like someone you don’t want...more

This was different, and very good. Almost tempted to 5-star rate…but it’s not quite there. It’s well written though, as well as surprisingly angsty without dealing with any particularly heavy subjects.
Thom Oliver used to be a player himself, so he knows exactly what kind of guy Evan Llewellyn is. The kind of guy who uses the LGBT community for his own selfish purposes. The kind of guy who fucks and fucks up anyone he pleases in order to feel gratified and confirmed. The kind of guy who breaks ot...more

Flamboyant Evan and remorseful former player Thom share a fierce attraction and impossible stubbornness. Thom has a bit more experience, but he is as arrogant and inflexible as Evan in their fraught, on-off relationship. They both need to grow up some.
Frustrating, well written and the best example of unresolved sexual tension I have read.
Gosh I wanted to bash these boys' heads together.
And call that an end? aaargh *screams & tearing of hair*
Hmmmm

"Please keep Evan Llewellyn away from me. I think I’m going to rape him."
Just for that, I will read this one. :D

I read this months ago and forgot about it. It's a good one, though it didn't move me.
Fun stuff. Quite entertaining main character and hilarity in his issues with sex.
The description for this story really doesn't do it justice.
This is barely squeeking by as an HFN, but I really liked it. Thom is awesome. So is Evan.

The blurb for this is terrible, but the writing is wonderful. Another free read better than 95% of the books I buy.
The pacing was uneven: I found it dragged somewhat in the middle and could have been tightened up. Not an HEA or an HFN, but I choose to believe it will be an HEA eventually.

Way better than some of the paid books.. But entertaining and kinda charming.
Very good m/m romance about two guys who dance around their attraction to each other, but are too stubborn and proud to admit to any such weaknesses. Be aware that this just barely has an HFN ending.

Extremely well written, especially for a freebie, but not entirely my favourite kind of story.
It's not the missing HEA or a HFN ending that irks me, though. Actually, a happy ending wouldn't have been believable nor fitting.
My problem was that I just couldn't really relate to the MC all that well. Hm.

It's actually 4.5 stars for me. It wasn't quite "amazing". I just really really liked it.
