I've read The Wild Side as a part of an anthology (Reflections of Love) and it was my favourite story in it. Ryan and Nick were absolutely great! I'd so love to read more about them!!
This story definitely made me curious about other books by Janey Chapel.

Nicely written story about a college student waiting tables to help a friend and the quiet young man he meets there. I liked both characters and enjoyed this story. Ryan is a love 'em and leave 'em guy and Nick is most definitely not a one-night stand type of guy. Is there a chance for these two seemingly different men? Maybe the magic of Valentine's will work in their favor.

Very good short m/m romance about a college student who agrees to help out a friend by waiting tables over Valentine's Day weekend. He's never been interested in seeing the same guy twice... is that about to change?

I enjoyed this short story – Ryan was an endearing narrator – young, carefree and blindsided by his attraction to the quiet and intense Nick. Nick is not a one-night stand kinda guy as he’s suffered past relationship angst, whereas Ryan never sleeps with the same guy twice. Over a weekend they get to know each other and give in to the intense chemistry between them.
A great odd couple romance between Nick who never does one night stands and Ryan who has been bed hopping all over campus. A well written short with two very likable characters.
