For me the bigger issue for Ryan and Johnny came from Ryan's behavior. Unfortunately good communication is not a strong point for either of these men and misunderstandings easily become their biggest obstacle. But with each hook-up both men find themselves becoming increasingly attracted and attached to the other. For reasons of their own both Ryan and Johnny are reluctant to have a relationship that's anything more than hooking up.

It's just that Ryan's not gay.he likes his blonds.tall,slim, leggy and female.but hey, 3 out of 4 ain't bad, right? For me this one was just ok, I liked that characters from previous stories were around giving the story a level of familiarity and comfort that I enjoy in a series. But neither of them is adverse to a bit of fun on the side. He learned the hard way that sometimes.love hurts and he's just not into that kind of pain. Ryan's not looking for a relationship with a guy and Johnny's just not looking for a relationship.he's a one and done kinda' guy. Which is not to say that I won't be going back to catch book #5 when I have a 's just that I was able to enjoy this one without feeling like there were gaps in the story that I'd missed out on. While characters from previous stories do appear in the story they're here as a part of this story and there's no real overlap in terms of plot from the previous stories in this series. In Jay Nortcote's 'Housemates' series and while I've enjoyed the first four books on audio I have to confess I did miss out on the 5th book so I can honestly say these books can readily be enjoyed as standalone stories. If they’re going to work things out, they need to start being honest - first with themselves, and then with each other.Īlthough this audiobook is part of the Housemates series, it has new main characters, a satisfying happy ending, and can be listened to as a standalone. Both begin to want more from the relationship but are afraid to admit it.

When he moves in next door to Ryan, they’re both interested in picking up where they left off, and it seems like an ideal arrangement: Convenient, mutually satisfying, and with no strings attached.ĭespite their best intentions to keep things casual, they develop an emotional connection alongside the physical one. Staying single is safer, and there’s no need for complicated relationships when hooking up is easy.

The attraction is mutual, and the amazing night that follows opens Ryan’s eyes to his bisexuality.Įxperience has taught Johnny that love hurts. When Johnny catches his eye at a party, Ryan’s interest is piqued even though he’s never been with a guy before. Ryan’s always been attracted to tall, leggy blondes - normally of the female variety. Ryan isn’t looking for a relationship with a guy - and Johnny isn’t looking for a relationship at all.
