3.5 StarsI had avoided reading this series but well ManLove classic or not isn't a huge advertisement of thoughtful written romance. Also, this publisher can be a bit pricey and the books are never lendable so I can try a writer through lending without buying and with a ManLove title my library doesn't seem to carrying them...
However, I am liking this series.
Gabe goes after Nick. The part of the book where Gabe has superpowers of observation is a bit underdeveloped and a bit arrogant as well. I would have liked Gabe to grown as much in this book as Nick does.
Nick is well drawn. I love that he is a transfer student to the college and walking the working class/middle class change over that become more educated sometimes signals.
Gabe was very kind and loving to Nick and I liked the romance.

Townie and the Twink [Men of Holsum College 3] Siren Publishing Classic ManLove edition by Daisy Harris Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Daisy Harris is going down as one of my favorite authors of 2012. She's been writing for a while but I didn't discover her until this year when I read the first book in the Men of Holsum College series. I love her characters, the amount of emotion she manages to drag out of me and how genuine the romances feel. She delivered exactly that once again in Townie and the Twink.
Gabe has a superpower, after careful observation he can read people. He's been watching a classmate, Nick, for a while and thinks he has the guy figured out. Gabe sees that Nick is lonely and in need of some friends on campus. Gabe is a genuinely nice guy and makes it his mission to befriend Nick and make him feel welcome at school.
Nick recently transferred into Holsum College from the local community college. Nick finds himself on the outside of two different worlds. There is the world of his high school friends which he still sees but doesn't really fit in with and then there is the entirely separate world of the students at Holsum College where he doesn't know anybody. He feels like he has been thrown a lifeline when Gabe approaches him and invites him to a campus party.
As their friendship forms they both start to feel a longing for something more. Gabe is openly gay and recognizes his attraction and feelings for Nick quickly. Nick has no idea what is going on. He knows he likes Gabe a lot, he knows he likes when Gabe touches him but he's not ready to accept that he might not be as straight as he thought. There is also the problem of Nick's infatuation with his high school friend John. Gabe sees how Nick looks at John, knows he secretly loves him and it's something he can't compete with. Gabe can't force Nick to acknowledge his feeling for his friend but he can can certainly nudge him along on the path to figuring it out. After that, it's up to Nick to choose what the future holds for them.
There was so much I liked about these characters. I thought Gabe's use of his superpower was a lot of fun. I liked that Nick and Gabe were two normal college guys. They weren't heroes or angels, just average guys trying to get by and have some fun while doing their best not to hurt anyone in the process. I loved that they didn't play games and respected each other and their friendship. They always stayed true to their character.
Gabe and Nick have a great romance too. It develops at the perfect pace and has just the right amount of angst to feel genuine. It's sweet but still has that raw, young love feel which makes it realistic rather than fluffy. Every book in this series has been fun, sexy and sweet.
This book was reviewed for Seductive Musings blog. A copy of the book was provided to me by either the author or the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
When you are ready to just cuddle down and read hot sex scene after hot sex scene, this is the book. Fortunately I love hot sex scenes.
This was a much better story than book 2 of the series ... the characters made for a cute couple and I loved the development of their relationship ... this is a nice fluffy series that I thoroughly enjoy reading.
My Review
I really enjoy books like this where one of the guys is struggling with his sexuality. In this book, that guy is Nick. Not only is he struggling, he's in flat-out denial, even when things go a bit further between him and Gabe than would ever happen between two hetero guys. He's DEEP in denial, which is incredibly frustrating for Gabe who is falling big-time for this guy.
I felt so badly for Gabe in this book. He tries to gently push Nick into understanding what's happening, but Nick just doesn't see it or accept it. The problem is that Gabe is getting in too deep and is going to end up getting really hurt.
Gabe is incredibly perceptive. Not only does he realize what Nick really is, but he also knows that Nick is actually in love with his best friend from high school. And poor Nick is just clueless about it all. I really enjoyed his talks with Chris (one of the heroes in book #1 of this series) in this one because Chris had the same issues about shocking self-realization the year before.
Overall, this was a good book. I absolutely fell in love with Gabe's character and felt badly for how clueless Nick remained throughout so much of the book...both about himself, Gabe, and his friend John. It was an interesting story.
On to book #4 in this great series...
I like this one just for the title - cute and fun, just like the story!
This series is pretty easy reading including this book which has a gay-for-you theme. Gabe befriends Nick. Gabe supposedly has a finely turned gaydar and recognises that Nick is gay although Nick doesn't think so himself.
Nick has always been a bit obsessed with his best friend John, something even his mother picks up on, but he denies his feelings are actually attraction. He continues to deny he can be attracted to men and may be gay, even when he and Gabe start a sexual relationship - it's just guys mucking around together, isn't it?
I liked the way Gabe was careful with Nick, letting him lead the way but I also like the way Nick was so into everything and accepting. He didn't have doubts that being physical with Gabe was something that he wanted. It was very cute the way they are relaxed and joking during sex, making it a fun experience. "Yeah, it's different for me, too."..(..).."Y'know, with you having a dick and all." Although these are new experiences for Nick, it is also very new for Gabe as his experience of sex with Nick is like nothing he has experienced before.
A bit frustrating as Nick continues to deny his feelings but they get their in the end.
3.5 Stars
