Hostile by Nicole Dykes

This was so fun! I really liked Rhett and his grumpiness as well as Grayson and his sunshiney disposition. It was a quick read, but it packed a lot in. We got to see some of Rhett's past as a foster kid, Grayson's past as someone with parents who generally didn't care that they had a kid, and a glimpse into Rhett's family. I loved that Rhett automatically saw Grayson as a stereotypical jock while Grayson was intrigued by Rhett from the jump. Watching both men volunteer with foster kids was sweet and charming. We really got to watch these two fall in love while being totally oblivious to it. I enjoyed this book! 2/5 spice levels.

Notes: demi rep, secret/hidden relationship, jock/artist, foster kid, past family trauma, grumpy/sunshine, long distance, sexual awakening, found family
