The Geeky Jock Paradox (The College Boys of New Haven series 5)


I've been meaning to start Hayden Hall's The College Boys of New Haven series for a while now. I finally did, and fifth book is titled "The Geeky Jock Paradox."

["History will repeat itself if I fall for another straight(ish) guy.

Isaac
When my roommate-to-be opens the door wearing nothing but a wet towel and a smile on his face, I only know one thing for sure: my world is about to be turned upside down.

A wrestling jock, a hottie, and as straight as a plank, Hunter is not the guy I should want. But all the shoulds and shouldn’ts fly out the window when it turns out that Hunter is actually a huge geek and not nearly as straight as I thought.

The fact that my high school crush asked me to wait for him until after college only makes my problems worse. But some terrible timing and an unlocked bedroom door end up being less of a problem than the ticking clock.

Can this college-only fling really be all that I have ever wanted?

Hunter
My new roommate is a total cutie, which is the weirdest way to describe a guy when you’re straight.

The more time I spend with Isaac, the less certain I am about everything I thought I knew. Either I am not myself, or I never have been. The weird thing is, I’ve never felt more alive.

It doesn’t matter, though. A no-good, terrible, horrible guy from his past leads him on with the sweetest promises and I’d be a fool to get involved.

Yet I need to have him, even if it’s for a little while."]

These two, man, these two! I loved them. I looooved how easily Hunter was like "okay, so I'm thinkin' I'm gay" to "holy shit, I'm in love with this guy" to "this is it, he's taking my heart and I guess I'll move on never." And Isaac was like "I love Matt but Hunter is kinda really hot" to "holy shit, I've never felt this way before, it might be love, but I already promised Matt" to Redacted/Spoiler Alert. 

I looooooooved these two. They were so cute and nerded out together and studied together and it was perfect. I mean, the steamy-as-fuck sex is always a plus too. ;)

I love how like easily the couples in this series fell and how easy it was for them to realize it was something special, something to hold onto, something Happily Ever After worthy. It's, obviously, not always (or ever) like that, but it's nice to dream. It also makes easy reads all that easier (less angst means less anxiety means well...less anxiety).
