About this ebook

LobsterShorts, 21

Jock. Secretly a science geek. Hot AF.

LobsterShorts: So. Here goes. For her birthday, my girlfriend wants…a threesome.

SinnerThree: Then you’ve come to the right hookup app.

LobsterShorts: Have you done this sort of thing before? With another guy?

SinnerThree: All the time. I’m an equal opportunity player. You?

LobsterShorts: [crickets!]

SinnerThree, 21

Finance major. Secretly a male dancer. Hot AF.

SinnerThree: Well, I’m down if you are. My life is kind of a mess right now. School, work, family stress. Oh, and I live next door to the most annoying dude in the world. I need the distraction. Are you sure you want this?

LobsterShorts: I might want it a little more than I’m willing to admit.

SinnerThree: Hey, nothing wrong with pushing your boundaries...

LobsterShorts: Tell that to my control-freak father. Anyway. What if this threesome is awkward?

SinnerThree: Then it’s awkward. It’s not like we’ll ever have to see each other again. Right? Just promise you won’t fall in love with me.

LobsterShorts: Now wouldn’t that be life-changing...

Luke Bailey has won a scholarship to Darby College, he's a local but his family is toxic so he rushed Alpha Delta fraternity in order to get housing. He's working two jobs (bar and stripper) just to afford the rent on the smallest room in the frat house and living off cheese sandwiches. He's got a plan, the President gets free board at the frat house so he's going to stand for President against preppy, entitled jock Keaton Hayward. Keaton Hayward III is third generation Apha Delta, his father (the CEO of a bif pharmaceutical company) and grandfather were both Presidents of the fraternity and he is aiming to do the same. When his sweet, but vanilla high school girlfriend says she wants a three-way for her twenty-first birthday present Keaton is surprised but happy to go along. He signs them up (anonymously) to a hook-up site called Kink and starts vetting potential matches for his gf's big surprise. When Keaton and Luke start messaging on the app as LobsterShorts and SinnerThree things start off business-like with Luke testing whether Keaton is really happy with the ramifications of his gf's choices, but soon Keaton is sharing his geeky facts about mating in the animal kingdom and the two of them are developing a relationship. What can I say, two of my favourite authors. I've noticed a theme in their college novels which tend to start off really raunchy and factor 100 on the phoar scale but become sweeter as the characters develop their relationship. This is definitely a rich-guy/poor-guy romance, it's about reaching for what you really want and standing up for yourself and what's right. It's 100% Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy sweet, sexy, articulate, romantic, funny love conquers all. Wonderful.

Omg this is a 5 Star Plus Read and it’s certainly going to be on my best reads of 2019 !!! Keaton is the typical rich handsome jock who is expected to follow in his dad’s footsteps but his heart is not in it and his passion is elsewhere, up and till now he has done what was expected played football and dated a girl that his parents would want him to be with. Keaton is looking for the perfect birthday gift for his girlfriend so when she requests a threesome he jumps online to investigate a possible male match for the two of them. Enter Luke who is the complete opposite of Keaton, he is on an academic scholarship and works as a stripper by night to put food on the table and this is when the fun really begins, what starts off as innocent texting soon turns in sexting and every text is full of witty flirty banter and it’s long into it that these two realise there might be more than just a threesome on the table, maybe the girlfriend isn’t needed in this relationship........ This book captivated it took over and I couldn’t put it down until I had read the final page, I needed to know if these two got past the sexting, if family and friends would accept the love they shared and if they finally get the HEA they deserved. This book has it all, it will make you laugh, it will make you swoon and at times you will be gasping out loud. Top Secret is a MM love story and it has the perfect mix of love, passion, humour and angst. Another great read from from two very talented authors

it was a good read it was a little slow in the begging but I love the plot however I thought it was a bit much that Keaton had to wait around for Luke to get over his issues I understand he been through a lot but Keaton helped him get a lawyer got him a good job he still ignore him I thought it came across that Keaton had to wait and beg for Luke love and kindness most of the book that unreasonable overall a fun read
