THE COVER:
SUCH A PRETTY COVER :), HERE IS THE BLURB:
Patrick
Mason travels to Bristol to spend the summer with his brother, Ben.
He’s cat sitting for the first two weeks while Ben goes on holiday.
But Ben neglected to tell him he wouldn’t be doing it alone. Will
Adams—Ben’s mate and Patrick’s long-time crush—is staying in
Ben’s guest room while he waits to move into his new house after a
breakup.
Against his better judgment, Patrick convinces Will that a little no-strings fun is just what they need. Patrick doesn’t want to get involved with a guy on the rebound, and Will isn’t interested in starting something serious with a student. But Patrick’s never been good at separating sex from feelings, and this time is no exception. As their weeks together draw to a close, they need to decide if they have something worth pursuing or if it’s really just a casual thing.

Ben raised
an eyebrow. “I see living with Sean all these years has done some
good after all.”
“Ugh,”
Patrick groaned. He wasn’t that bad. “He’s my roommate, not my
mum. He doesn’t make me do chores you know.” Sean was also his
best friend, and three years of living together at university had
made Patrick more self-sufficient, but he wasn’t about to admit it.
“Anyway,” he said, walking down the hall as he spoke. “I’m
assuming you’ve cleared out all your shit from the spare room?”
Patrick looked back over his shoulder as he opened the door. Ben
usually shoved anything he didn’t use in there until he either gave
it to charity or took it down to the rubbish tip.
“Yeah,
um… about that….” Ben let the sentence hang there as Patrick
opened the door to the spare room and stopped in his tracks.
Okay, so it
wasn’t full of Ben’s stuff, but it wasn’t empty either. The bed
looked recently slept in, the quilt pulled up sort of straight but
the pillows at odd angles, as though it had been made in a hurry. A
couple of shirts hung on the wardrobe door, and the desk had a laptop
on it and some toiletries that definitely belonged to a guy.
Ben
appeared behind him, scratching at the back of his neck, but not
looking particularly bothered. Patrick waved a hand around the room
and raised his eyebrow. “I guess I’m not staying in here, then?”
“Sorry,
it only happened a couple of weeks ago, and I forgot all about it.
But he’s only here for another two weeks, so you can sleep in my
room while I’m away.” Ben gestured to the door opposite and
picked up Patrick’s bags again. “I’m off in the morning, so you
only have to sleep on the sofa for one night.”
Patrick
followed him, trying not to feel disappointed at not having the place
to himself. He collapsed on Ben’s bed, making sure to hang his
shoes over the edge. “So, who is it, then? Do I know him?” He
narrowed his eyes, watching as Ben dropped both bags in front of the
wardrobe and turned to face him. “It better not be someone old and
boring who’s going to judge everything I do. Christ.” He threw
his arm over his face and let out a put-upon sigh. “I might as well
have stayed at home.”
“He’s
not old. He’s a year older than me.”
“You’re
old.”
“Shut the
fuck up, or I will send you back home.” The bed dipped as Ben sat
down. “And yes, you know him. He’s a good guy—I wouldn’t
leave my little brother alone for two weeks with someone I didn’t
trust completely.”
Patrick sat
up and leaned on his elbows, taking in the slightly shifty expression
on his brother’s face. Nothing normally fazed Ben, and he’d said
that Patrick knew the guy and that Ben trusted him, so Patrick didn’t
see what the problem could be. He liked to think he was pretty easy
to get along with. He maybe had a lot of energy, which irritated some
people, but he tried to tone it down with anyone other than close
friends or family. Ben’s mates all knew him pretty well
anyway—Patrick usually came down to Bristol for at least a few days
every time he had a break from uni.
“Well,
I’m assuming it’s one of your friends, and honestly, Ben, they’re
a great bunch of lads, so I don’t get why you’re being weird.”
“I’m
not being weird.”
Patrick
gave him his best “yeah right” look and sat up a bit. “Seriously,
I won’t have a problem sharing with any of them,” he said,
nudging Ben with his shoulder. “Well, except Will maybe, but that’s
only because—”
Patrick
stopped, the words dying on his tongue as he noticed Ben wince.
“No.”
He jumped off the bed, fisting his hands in his hair. “No fucking
way. Ben, please tell me you’re not leaving me alone for two weeks
with the guy I have a huge unrequited, and frankly, embarrassing,
crush on?”
Ben
shrugged. “He needed somewhere to stay. I’d sort of forgotten you
had the hots for him.”
OH YEAH, YOU CAN'T WAIT EITHER NOW RIGHT? THEN MY JOB HERE IS DONE :p HAHA, HERE IS THE DREAMSPINNER LINK TO PREORDER:
