Better Than Sex (San Francisco Sex Gods #1)


I had caught up with all of my ARCs, requested a toooon more, and proceeded to avoid them. Oops. Here's Kit Erikson's "Better Than Sex." It's first novel in the San Francisco Sex Gods series.

["Spencer’s thirtieth birthday is right around the corner, and he wants to say goodbye to his twenties with a bang. Literally.

As a self-proclaimed sex god, Spencer has sworn off love and dedicated himself to finishing his F***-it List – a collection of wild fantasies he’s checked off one by one. Now, only one fantasy rock a virgin’s world with a night of unforgettable sex.

Shy, sweet Mickey seems like the perfect candidate, but he’ll need a major confidence boost before he’s ready to go all the way. Hoping for a chance to be Mickey’s first, Spencer makes him an offer he can’t refuse – he’ll transform Mickey into San Francisco’s next sex god.

Mickey, who’s always felt out of step with the gay scene, jumps at the chance to reinvent himself. It isn’t long, though, before styling tips and flirting lessons give way to stolen glances and heart-to-heart conversations, and what started as a playful makeover begins to look a lot like falling in love.

For Spencer, feelings were never part of the plan. But as Mickey blossoms into a self-assured man and their connection deepens, Spencer is forced to ask is Mickey just another checkmark on his list, or could he be the man who finally makes Spencer believe in love?"]

This one had Park Avenue Princes vibe. In a good way and in a you're-going-to-fuck-up-in-the-future kinda way (like the first Park Avenue Princes book...like She's All That). So like... loved the 90s rom-com feel, but hated the feelings of impending heartache/crying. 

Because Spencer fell pretty hard, pretty fast (even if he didn't know what he was feeling and/or denying his feelings), and some of his friends weren't so...keen.

Whereas Mickey, our sweet as fuck Mickey, knew he was falling but couldn't do anything about it, didn't want to do anything about it. He knew Spencer would probably break his heart (we all did (see: She's All That third-act-break-up drama)), but sometimes being in love is worth it.

LUCKLY, these two had a very happy, very cheesy, very dorky ever after. ;)
