warm and fuzzies, people, warm and fuzzies!

Without a Compass - Helen Juliet
I was gifted my copy of this book direct from the author, that I write a review was not required. Riley goes with his family camping. Riley HATES camping, but it's his father's 50th birthday and he hasn't been for a few years. He just packs everything but the kitchen sink to take along with him. Kai is Riley's older brother's best friend, and had been Riley's crush many years ago. But Kai is straight, and totally out of Riley's reach, right?? Warm and fuzzies, too stinking cute and a delicious book if ever there was one! Kai has, up to now, only been with girls. But Riley is all grown up now, and Kai begins to have feelings, thoughts, that maybe he isn't as straight as he thought. A game of truth or dare clears Kai's head and he just runs with it. What will be, will be. I am ETERNALLY thankful that Ms Juliet wrote this book from both guys point of view! I was a little concerned that it might not, and I would have wrote some scathing comment but it is SOOOOOOOOOOO not needed! With Kai going much against his nature, he needed his say. Because we needed to know what was going through his head, and we get it! We get his reaction to that kiss, his feelings about what some of the others did to Riley years ago, his feelings of overwhelming protectiveness to Riley when he realises Riley is hurt. We get it all!! Its not overly explicit, but this book didn't need to be. There is no real breakup, no major drama to deal with, bar a pair of twins who really just need to grow the hell up. Its full of emotion though! Riley's trying to keep his distance from Kai, and failing miserably. Kai's ever growing attraction to Riley and his fight to stop, then run with, it. This is the second book of Ms Juliet's I've read, that too, was a five star read. Keep them coming, please!! 5 stars. **same worded review will appear elsewhere**
