The Book Boyfriend Addict

“I’m not exactly fighting guys off with a stick. I’m nobody’s idea of a wet dream, Tanner.”

“You’re mine.”

I’m sad this is the last book in the series. I’m going to miss these guys! At least (at the time of writing this), I still have the collection of short stories to read. I’m looking forward to one last hurrah with this group of characters. As far as this book goes, I thought it was adorable. I loved Charlie when we met him in the last book. I felt bad for what he had to deal with, but loved how his brothers stepped up to help him. So I was glad that he was featured in this last installment of the series.

The book is told from Tanner’s POV, though. He’s Colt’s little brother, and if you remember Colt from book 2, then you’ll remember he was a total asshole. Fortunately, Tanner was the complete opposite of his brother and was also not a fan of him. Tanner was actually the sweetest, most awkward guy, and I really loved him. I thought the book did a great job of capturing what that adjustment is like for a college freshman when you suddenly have all these competing priorities and you’re on your own to figure it all out. His experience was further complicated by his rigorous schedule for baseball. I enjoyed how all of that was portrayed; it felt very realistic.

We were good together. We felt right. And this was probably the first time in my whole life that I felt like I had everything I wanted.

As if he didn’t have enough on his plate already, Tanner was determined to get Charlie to be his boyfriend. They were both so cute and awkward together. They were both inexperienced, and I loved how they learned and explored together. But there was a slight complication: they each belonged to rival fraternities, and there was a history there that Tanner wasn’t privy to. So they had to keep things mostly under wraps. The parallels between their story and Romeo and Juliet (which Tanner’s English class was learning about) were a lot of fun. Thank goodness they had a better ending than R+J did!

Having just read the previous book, I was able to easily figure out what made Charlie so hesitant to start something, but poor Tanner had no clue, and I felt bad for him when things went sideways and he had no idea why. But I loved seeing Briar step in and help them both out. And I loved Tanner’s friend, Nash, and the way he was there to support him, too. Everything works out in the end, and I loved how it all wrapped up!

It looked like I’d gotten what I’d wished for after all.

I had what Romeo had—minus the drama and minus the dying.
