Here's KM Neuhold's latest: "Jacked." It's the first novel in her new Gymbos series.
["I'm starting to think hooking up with my gym bro roommate might be kind of gay…
The thing about guys is that we communicate on a physical, primal level. A hearty slap on the backside just means “good game, bro”. Some good old fashioned roughhousing just means we’re comfortable with each other. Some late night stress relief? Just dudes being dudes…
Right?
If I were gay, I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about what his lips taste like. I'd want to spend all my time with him and miss him when he's not around. I would find his god awful cooking skills a little charming.
But none of that is true… almost none of it.
We’re just friends. Just roommates. Just a couple of guys doing what guys do.
Of course I love him like a bro, but I'm not falling in love with my roommate, no matter how cool and funny and jacked he is.
Nope, not gonna happen…"]
These two were adorable as hell. And totally clueless. Two gym, dude-bro, himbos (gymbos) living life and being happy and saying "no homo." Then ones goes "that was at least 90% no homo", and then a little bit later it's "well that was definitely homo". I love them.
I loved their journey. Together, falling into friendship and falling in love. And individually, figuring out themselves and figuring out their found family.
It was adorable and fluffy. It was cute-cringe and slightly embarrassing. It was feet first into the spice and not feeling bad about it.
I can't wait for the rest of the guys at Sweat to get their HEAs.
Trigger Warnings: mild internalized homophobia, mild aspects of toxic masculinity, and more.
