I avoid him.

Every time Kepler Quinn steps into a room, I get the hell out.

He does . . . something to me. When those discerning gray eyes flick towards me, his brow rising in a silent greeting, there’s a tightening of my abs. A zapping hum quivering low along my spine.

There are about a million reasons it shouldn’t be what the little voice in the back of my head insists . . . a crush.

Because Kepler isn’t just some random guy. He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also my TA for physics this semester. And also . . . a guy. I’ve never held strongly onto being straight, but I’ve also never had this sun-scorching need for another guy before.

But I can’t avoid him when we’re suddenly in the back stacks of the library—alone—nothing but the smell of old books and softly falling dust …

But I can’t avoid him when we’re suddenly in the back stacks of the library—alone—nothing but the smell of old books and softly falling dust around us. And instead of walking away from him, I let out the two words that burn in my throat:

“Kiss me."

Always is a swoony M/M college romance with a bisexual awakening and sizzling chemistry. It’s the first in the Indigo Falls College series, a standalone, and features a happy ending.

Review of 'Always' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I picked up this book expecting a fun read, what I got was most everything I love about romances.

-Total A+ for sexual tension. Not a moment of it is wasted or hurried through.. the entire book.
-Then there are the characters- Oftentimes there is an MC I tend to bond to more than the other, just a bit. Nope. Not in this case. I love both of these men so hard. Jin and his pure and strong heart. Kepler and his quiet strength, control, and capacity to love.
-I really enjoy that there is a storyline other than just the romance. It means character growth and some extra tension that's not between the MCs. Though, because life, there is some of that too. (I'd still put this book at a lower level angst though.)

The story if beautiful, the characters are beautiful, how the author shows us their characters …

The story if beautiful, the characters are beautiful, how the author shows us their characters and subsequent emotions and actions is beautiful. My heart was a little crushed when I saw there was nothing else by this author I could immediately read.
