Along the way, Theo begins to be a little bit less clueless about how he is actually reacting to his friend. And those reactions lead to a redo of the hookup mix-up to a hookup that they are both up for. But Perry is clear he only wants fun and no relationship. And Theo is celebrating his new bi-awakening and how it makes him feel more confident and special, but he knows he’s going to have to be careful not to give away his heart.
An exclusive supposedly sex-only friends-with-benefits situation should be easy to keep messy feelings from complicating it. Right?
I honestly liked these two a lot and thought they were just adorable and hot together. Theo is awkward, cute, clueless, sweet, sunshiny, but lacks self-confidence and struggles in some ways. Perry is more confident, easy-going, and comfortable in his sexuality. But he also has some deep-seated issues that stem from his family dynamics causing abandonment issues and making him fearful of getting hurt. So there’s a little bit of hurt mixed up with the fun frolics and there’s just this genuine natural affection between these two that does them both so much good. They inspire each other and become catalysts for change, healing, and growth, and help each other find acceptance, happiness, and purpose.
Perry
I moved to San Luco to get to know my brother, and so far, it’s been great. Working as a bartender at Shenanigans, a bar close to Franklin University, there are beautiful men and women everywhere. When a hot guy falls into my arms at a party, I’m down for some naughty fun. Until I realize he’s way too drunk for anything to happen. Thankfully, we agree to meet up the next day.
One near kiss later, I discover Theo has no idea I’ve been hitting on him. He thinks we’re hanging out as buddies, and to my great regret, says he’s straight. How did I misread this situation when I thought he was giving me all the right signals?
Theo
Perry thinks I’m a nine…a nine! Sure, I’m not into dudes, but it’s flattering that someone as attractive as him thinks I’m hot. Despite the confusion, Perry and I click and agree to keep hanging out. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s a part of myself I’ve been ignoring. One that’s super bi and wants Perry as more than a friend.
Trying to study with him makes things hard for me…below the belt. Unfortunately, his abandonment issues have him open to a fling and nothing more, while I’m catching feelings in a big way. Can I be satisfied with a hookup? Or should I find a way to convince him to take a chance on making this something real?

After a night of what Perry thought was flirting with an inebriated cutie named Theo, he thought the next day they were meeting up for a hookup. But sweet clueless Theo had no idea he was being flirted with, and he just thought he was making a new friend. So the hookup is off but they actually find they do enjoy hanging out in each other's company and become new friends.
Along the way, Theo begins to be a little bit less clueless about how he is actually reacting to his friend. And those reactions lead to a redo of the hookup mix-up to a hookup that they are both up for. But Perry is clear he only wants fun and no relationship. And Theo is celebrating his new bi-awakening and how it makes him feel more confident and special, but he knows he’s going to have to be careful not to give away his heart.

Riley Hart's love of all things romance shines brightly in everything she writes. Her primary focus is Male/Male romance but under various pen names, her prose has touched practically every part of the spectrum of love and relationships. The common theme that ties them all together is stories told from the heart.
A hopeless romantic herself, Riley is a lover of character-driven plots, many with flawed and relatable characters. She strives to create stories that readers can not only fall in love with, but also see themselves in. Real characters and real love blended together equal the ultimate Riley Hart experience.
When Riley isn't creating her next story, you can find her reading, traveling, or dreaming about reading or traveling, spending time with her two snarky kids, and swoony husband.
Riley Hart is represented by Jane Dystel at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret Literary Management. She's a 2019 Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Of Sunlight and Stardust.
