Physically, it’s easy for Ethan and Wyatt to be together—well, if “easy” means stolen moments when Ethan’s roommate is away, or sneaking away to a hidden nook in the library. Privacy is hard to come by in a dorm, but finding ways to connect is half the fun.

Emotionally, though, that’s a different story. Wyatt isn’t sure if a relationship is something he can make last—years

Awesome!!!! Truly spectacular, the way the author binds us to the emotions of the characters by using some well-placed words. I am so glad I got more of Wyatt's POV. And thank you for changing the font of the text messages. It really used a lot of my brain power to figure out where a text started and where it ended in some cases in book one.

My favourite line:

First, let me just say that I really loved both Ethan and Wyatt from book 1 and was thrilled to get more of their story.

In the first book, Ethan's eternal positivity was so "glass half-full" that you could feel his hope for what he and Wyatt could have dripping from the pages. It was completely contagious. You have lemons? Great! Ethan's all for making lemonade and I loved him for that.

However, in this continuation, told from Wyatt's point of view, it's just the opposite. Yes, I realize that he

3.5 Stars!

Eh, it was okay.

Ridiculous that this story drags out over 3 books. And there's a huge wait time between books.

It's a little immature.

And Wyatt kind of drives me a bit crazy.

Yet I still seem to want to see where things go between them.

Go figure.

Still sweet, still charming. KA Mitchell has a wonderful talent for portraying vulnerable characters.

This was a quick read that picks up on the blossoming romance between Ethan and Wyatt. K.A. Mitchell wrote this story a little different than book one..there wasn't an awful lot of romance it was more of getting in Wyatt's head and figuring him out while Ethan just tried to make him happy.

In this story we get to see the normal strains that are put on a typical college age romance, the lack of privacy, the breaks and being apart, meeting the family, and even coming out to family. Wyatt gets to ex

This sequel to Getting Him Back follows Ethan and Wyatt as they navigate their new relationship and begin dealing with bigger picture things, like where to spend the holidays and meeting the family.

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first story. Getting Him Back was told through Ethan's perspective, whereas this story was told solely through Wyatt's. Where Ethan was a bit more goofy and fun-loving, Wyatt is a pretty moody, the world sucks ass, kinda guy. His POV was grittier and t

Ethan and Wyatt's story continues and this time it's told from Wyatt's POV. Oh and I had so many feels for him. Really, this guys needs an HEA. He's alternating between waiting for the other shoe to drop and just wanting Ethan and him to be happy together. That's all I want too. I just adore these guys. This ends HFN but sadly it looks like we have to wait for next spring to get the real HEA!

I struggled with this, the follow up to Getting Him Back.

In book 1, I really liked both Ethan and Wyatt. Book 1 was told from Ethan's POV and there was something...compelling...about the mysterious bad boy, Wyatt. I was looking forward to book 2 and watch their relationship progress.

Book 2 was told from Wyatt's POV. And I have to say...he was annoying AF. His insecurity bordered selfishness and there were times I agreed with Wyatt's concerns about why Ethan was with him in the first place.

Could he be boyfriend material or was he just fooling himself?

Thinking about breaking up with your new boyfriend, not cool. But Wyatt was shitfaced petrified. Terrified of the newest development, one his boyfriend was pushing: Meeting the dreaded parents. He'd do anything for Ethan. ANYTHING. So why was this time an absolute no?

Told from another view.

Book two of Ethan & Wyatt was the telling of Wyatt's story. And what a story. The guys were defining their relationship, bot

This was pretty emotional and angsty. Wyatt has loads of hangups, which can be hard to navigate, but I thought they read true. I enjoyed the development of the relationship and I cannot wait to read the final book. Mich enjoyed and super hot!

In this 2nd installment of Ethan And Wyatt, we're picking up right about where the first book left off.

Except, the entire book is told from Wyatt's POV, and thus his glass-half-empty, this-can't-last-anyway attitude permeates the book.

And thus the tone of the book is much more pessimistic than the first one. Wyatt spends most of the book not really seeing what Ethan is offering him, and certainly not giving Ethan enough credit or believing that what they have can last. Of course, Wyatt's experie

Boyfriend Material picks up where Getting Him Back left off. We're switching POV's and barrel right into Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

We get to see how Wyatt handles being in his first relationship. The ups and downs of first love, college-living and meeting the parents.

It's a nice little installment and if you liked the first book I'm sure you'll have some fun with this one as well. Most of all the sexiness stands out (just lovely!) and how well written it is.

When we left Ethan and Wyatt at the end of Getting Him Back, Wyatt had moved to a new dorm room away from the asshole who shall not be named and Ethan telling Wyatt he could thank him for the move help by coming home with him over Thanksgiving.

Poor Wyatt. I get why he doesn’t want to do family and have them question everything about his looks, his character and his intentions towards their sunshiny golden boy. Wyatt is having a hard enough time dealing with the constant revolving door of Ethan’

This was a harder book to read than the first but I still really liked it because it was about the every day efforts of trying to be together, to learning about each other, to making a relationship work. And it hurt seeing how uncomfortable Wyatt was with the idea of spending holidays with Ethan's family because you just want to give him that HEA. Well, he doesn't trust the idea of HEA and with good reason because OMFG I can't believe Ethan's mom.

I loved Ethan and Wyatt just as much here as I did in the first book. Ethan is still just as bubbly and sometimes clueless and sweet as he was in Getting Him Back and Wyatt is just as broken, and anxious and in love with Ethan. The thing I love so much about New Adult is how much growing characters do, especially when it's in a continuation like in Boyfriend Material. Ethan has been spoiled and sheltered his whole like and it affects the way he sees the world, and especially how he views Wyatt. ...more

I loved reading more about Ethan and Wyatt.

We met Ethan and Wyatt in Getting Him Back. While that book had an HFN Author K.A. Mitchell has come up with another taste for us in Boyfriend Material. Like the first story, I enjoyed this one a lot. Unlike the first one though, this one felt a bit more like a cliffhanger which I usually don’t like. A third and final book is promised for spring of next. While you could probably read Boyfriend Material as a stand-alone I really think you should read Get

I suppose at 92 pages, this would be considered a novella, and it definitely read fast. However, it wasn't a problem with Boyfriend Material because this is actually the second book in the Ethan and Wyatt series. You definitely should read that first, because it's a full novel that details the history of how these two came together, as well as important information about their background. Once you get to Boyfriend Material, it was nice to have an established couple that you already knew. It mean ...more

I really enjoyed the first book and if anything this one is even better.
This is a really quick read but I loved that we got Wyatt's PoV. Ethan is as adorable as ever, even if he does resemble a steam roller most of the time!
I adore Wyatt's social awkwardness and how he tried so hard to give Ethan the words he needs.
The author has a way of making it all so real and bringing the emotion to life for the reader.
Together, they make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Wyatt is Eeyore to Ethan's Tigger.

The Holidays with Ethan & Wyatt

This book switches to Wyatt’s point of view. We get to feel his insecurities and desires. A perfect bridge to the final book in the series. We get some family introductions too. I’m Enjoying this journey. Angst set to medium - so it’s not crushing me. Maybe that’s saved for book three. 3.75 for little pharmacy bags.

I note in my review of the first one that I mentioned that we only get Ethan's pov and Wyatt remains an enigmatic character. Ha! This one gives us Wyatt's voice and is remains un-forthcoming, even in his own head!

He is damaged by his upbringing, mainly with how other people perceive him. He wants to feel secure with Ethan, but he hindered by his own low self esteem issues and his defensiveness.

Who can blame him? Not me. I liked the pull and push between this pair as they try to work out a way to

After Ethan's whirlwind narrative, I must admit I found Wyatt a bit boring...
The story just didn't grip me, there was nothing driving it forward except Wyatt's fears that Ethan would maybe dump him.

3.5 Stars. This is the second book in a contemporary New Adult/ Upper YA M/M romance series and likely best enjoyed when read in order.

Ethan and Wyatt are boyfriends on campus. Wyatt is a little older, been there for a couple years. Ethan is a freshman. The first book, which isn't recounted at all, is all about them getting together. This book is all about the challenges of them building a relationship.

Wyatt is a "bad boy" in that he assisted in a large theft, in a stolen vehicle, when he was a

This is the second book in the Ethan & Wyatt series and needs to be read in order.

Ethan and Wyatt have decided to give their relationship a try, but while physically everything is going great between them, emotions and all they entail is not something that comes easily for Wyatt.

This installment of the Ethan & Wyatt series was short and sweet, but that doesn't meant it was lacking... especially in emotion.

The first book in this series was Getting Him Back, which introduced Ethan and Wyatt. It would have been easy to get frustrated with Wyatt's hesitance to trust what he and Ethan had. Their relationship was still new and since readers had the advantage of being in Ethan's head in Getting Him Back, we had a slight advantage. The tables were turned in Boyfriend Material a

I read the first installment of this trilogy a year ago and then came back to re-read it along with the subsequent novellas in one fell swoop. So glad I did.

You will never meet a couple like Ethan and Wyatt. college students who carry substantial issues with them when they meet, and then fall in conflicted lust, and eventually heated but troubled love.

Ethan is a marvelous character, tall and gangly and oversexed to the ultimate. Wyatt is an extraordinary individu

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first, told from Wyatt's point of view it was quite negative a lot of the time. Ethan is still very perky and upbeat but Wyatt is still struggling with accepting that Ethan loves him. We're still at a HFN so I'll be reading book 3 in the hopes of finally getting the HEA.
