And just like that, I've managed to finish all of the "Straight Guys" books currently in existence. And oh my god, this might end being my favourite out of them all. I think I need to do a re-read, just to be sure though *nods*

I freaking adored this book. It's so good. SO. DAMN. GOOD.
It's got all of my favourite tropes (forced proximity! hurt/comfort!! enemies-to-lovers vibes that made everything even more delicious *swoons*) and the characters were amazing and unexpectedly likable. One of the problems that I've always had with AH's MCs, especially the ones involved in the more toxic and unhinged relationships (yes, Gabriel and Jared, I'm talking about you, you psychos), is that, although I end up absolutely worshiping the book and the couple on the whole, the characters sometimes are unpleasent and sorely in need of a good whack on the head with a shovel. But Andrew and Logan? They're both rude and a bit assholish (and Andrew is very unlikable in the beginning), but I still ended up loving both of them. I felt so sorry for Andrew from the start, even when he was being rude and childish and obtuse: he's the kind of character that grows on you and by mid-book I was quite ready to take up arms to defend him. And I loved Logan too: he's as rude as Andrew, a bit hard and impatient, but he still managed to make me swoon. And how he was with Andrew? A mix of domineering and protective and fiercely devoted? Gah, he was so dreamy. Their chemistry was off the charts and their intimate scenes were deliciously steamy and just a bit kinky; the slow-burn from dislike to attraction to codependency to love was *chef's kiss* PERFECTION; and I even loved the much darker and angstier edge this book has, unlike a lot of the previous books.

I'm going to desperately miss not having any more of these books to binge-read (I NEED BOOK #13 LIKE AIR), but thankfully re-reading is always an option. In fact, I MIGHT have downloaded "Just a Bit Ruthless* again... you know, just to be sure I still love it as much as I remember.
