Paired With The Jock


We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to share even more novellas/short stories that I found on #BookFunnel (through their Your Book Boyfriend's Boyfriend giveaway). I didn't go through and read the description to every book (yet), but I did go through and see if I recognized any of the other authors on the list (about a month or so ago I found two--one on purpose and one on accident) and immediately claimed each one.

Here's Ana Byrd's "Paired with the Jock" (Ana also wrote the #Love Wins series)

["Live in the dorms, my uncle told me. It'll be fun, he said. Well, it sure is fun--for my roommate, who's got another girl over every night. Not that it's surprising. Max is the hottest boy on campus. When he isn't tending to his pet mice, he's off playing sportsball, and it shows. He looks like all those heroes in the gay romance novels I love to read. Except he's not gay.
That's what I got to rememeber.
He's not gay.
Or is he?"]

Suuuuuuuuper cute! Lots of second hand embarrassment, lots of awkward moments. But a lot of sweet ones and protective ones and happily-ever-after ones.

This short story not only tackled love (the romantic and the sexual kind), but also homophobia, bi-erasure, and non-penetrative sex. 

Definitely worth the read.
