About This Book
Two college guys connect on a hookup app under the premise of a threesome favor — one a jock hiding a science obsession, the other a finance major moonlighting as a dancer, barely keeping his life together. What starts as a straightforward arrangement gets complicated fast, because the chemistry between them refuses to stay where it's supposed to. Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy build real tension not from grand gestures but from two people who can't stop talking to each other online while pretending, in person, that nothing is happening.
The dual-POV format is where this book earns its reputation. Each narrator has a distinct voice — one wry and guarded, the other chaotic and self-aware — and the authors (one writing each perspective) keep those voices consistently separate in a way that genuinely feels like two different minds on the page. The pacing is tight for a romance of this type: the slow-burn is earned rather than artificially prolonged, and the banter has genuine wit without tipping into screwball. It's a book that trusts readers to pick up on what characters won't say out loud, which makes the moments when they finally do all the more satisfying.
