Starr (AKA Starrfish) Rivers's Reviews > Want Me

Wow. I mean... WOW.

5 stars.

Not a whole lot going on in terms of plot - coming of age, sexuality discovery of Nate with one of his hot roommates - Eric.

It's also college, so I was slightly worried it would be too YA.

BUT LORD! It was def NOT YA. It was very mature in terms of the intensity of emotions, the maturity of the two guys' personalities... Eric is SUCH a bad ass (no pun intended). Sexy, calm, collected, but deep-feeling, protective, loyal. Even tho the whole book was from Nate's POV, I could almost hear Eric's thoughts, feel his feelings. And they were STRONG. You knew just from the little bit he does show and say that he loves Nate. That he's patiently waiting for Nate to love him back. And I really fell in love with Eric for it.

Nate was engaging too. He's no wuss. He might not entirely know what he's getting into, but he doesn't run away from it. He confronts his sexuality, he blurts things out at inappropriate moments, but that's what I like about him - he's "pure." When he's in, he's all in. And he's comfortable enough in himself and who he is that he's not afraid to own it. He just needs someone special to give him time and patience and show him that he's worth waiting for. And that person is Eric.

What can I say? I gobbled up every single word!! I didn't sleep much last night even tho another book totally put me in a slumberous mood! This book woke up right back up and certainly worked me up too.

90% explicit sex, folks, so whoever is looking to try should be forewarned. But it's HOT explicit sex. Heavy with emotion and connection and intensity. And I might have overdosed on the eroticism but I LOVED IT!!

Not sure if I'll be coming back for more soon. It's exhausting to be turned on for hours and hours on end! :P

Highly recommend for readers who are fans or potential triers of M/M romance.
