College is supposed to be the best time of your life. . . What happens when it isn’t--

Andrew was living the dream until he moved to college with his girlfriend. “Know what you are getting into because love changes when the situation changes,” his grampa told him.

Everything in life seemed to be going wrong, but one day, after an incident in the quad, something went right—Connor.

Moving in with Conner, Andrew found himself in a foreign situation. There was something about his new roommate. . . was this a boy crush? Did Connor like him back?

Thoughts become actions, and actions become emotions until life throws another curveball.

Andrew and Connor
I really am glad I found this author. His characters draw me in and take me on an engaging ride as they find their forever person. Connor is just what Andrew needs when he is betrayed by his girlfriend. He is there, supportive, caring, and has his back, rescuing him like a knight in shining armor, getting him out of a bad situation and offering a place to stay. He gives Andrew the attention he has been missing in an honest and affectionate way, helping build up his confidence because he “sees” him, building a relationship moving toward love. When Andrew encounters a situation he cannot face, Connor tracks him down, refusing to give up on him or what they have. I especially loved the last couple of paragraphs — didn’t see that coming.

Thus is a sweet, tender, loving, hot, spicy, steamy story of two young men having to navigate the pitfalls that seem to crop up in every relationship at one time or another, and proving again that communication is key.

Very realistic, believable and satisfying short read for a relaxing evening in front of the fire on a cold winter night.

About the Author

Born and raised in the great state of Missouri, I have always dreamed of getting out of the Midwest. Always yearned for something different, but I have found that something different always becomes the norm.

Ever indecisive, I earned three college degrees because I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up--and still don't. Eventually, went back for my fourth, and most likely last, degree.

I met my hubs in high school, even if we didn't know it then. He drives me crazy every day, but I'd never want another to drive. Officially together in 2000, we had our son in '11 and married in 2015, and we live in the same town I grew up in with our 3 dogs.

I've always been an avid reader and lover of all things imaginary. Fantasy is my true love, but while on vacation I picked up an MM/romance when I finished reading my book. I LOVED every moment of that story. Those passionate moments could be as simple as a look from across the room, a not-quite-graze of the leg under the table, and passions that quicken the breath.

I thought I could do that!! So, the journey began. But the best thing about getting lost is that you never get lost in the same place twice.

So, I hope you enjoy my stories. Look me up on other social platforms so we might get lost in my stories together. xo~Kelvin

Summary: Eos is after her wings and Kenner’s mate, Como, holds the key to finding them. Como brings his dreams to life on canvas. His art has mentally protected him most of his life and now Kenner wants to take over that job. How can Como open up and explain everything to his mate when he doesn’t understand most of it himself? Como knows he must try, but fear has always ruled him and right now he's fearing he might lose Kenner before he could even claim him. Kenner knew Como was a gifted artist. However, he also knew he had hidden secrets that if not told could mean both their lives. Kenner needed to gain Como’s trust before it was too late because if Eos got her hands on those wings it would mean the lives of all Shifters on Haven and around the world.
