Description

Ryan has a problem that keeps his love life stuck in a cycle of disappointment: his physical anatomy is so intimidating that every woman he invites into his bedroom ends up fleeing in fear before things even get started. He is confident, charming, and great at scoring dates, but he is constantly left wondering if he is destined to be alone. His best friend, Arlo, is his exact opposite. Shy, bookish, and cripplingly nervous around women, Arlo has never made it past the starting line of a romantic encounter. When the two head out for a camping trip, they agree to help one another navigate their frustrations. What starts as innocent coaching on pick-up lines and social strategy quickly shifts into uncharted territory. When Arlo discovers why Ryan’s dates keep running, he doesn’t back away—he becomes curious. What begins as a desperate attempt at "practice" evolves into a deep, physical exploration between two friends who expected everything to change except their dynamic. Caught in the heat of the moment, they convince themselves it’s just a favor between bros. But as boundaries blur and curiosity turns into craving, they are forced to confront whether they are truly just practicing—or finally finding what they’ve both been searching for.

Spicy!

I loved this book! My goodness it's the shy quiet ones you need to look out for lol. The pick up lines really made me laugh. I loved how Ryan and Arlo's relationship progressed through exploring and "practicing" things together. And I definitely suggest reading the other book this one ties to! 😉 Honestly Pat Lewis never disappoints. And I adored that there was a little switch action. Highly recommend!.

Short and spicy fun

xI love smutty shorts and Pat Lewis is one of my go-tos for them when I need a quick, fun, spicy read. Ryan and Arlo were adorable together. Ryan thought he was teaching his awkward, virgin friend how to put the moves on the girls, but in the end maybe that's not exactly what was happening. Read it for yourself - this is cute, a bit cheesy in the best ways, and spicy fun. Forced proximity Camping straight BFFs to more queer awakening "lessons".

Spicy

The setup was somewhat questionable to me and i did not enjoy it. Once i got through the first half, I found it better. The writing quality is similar to other books by the author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Exploring on the camping trip

Ryan and Arlo are best friends. Ryan is trying to help Arlo with his pickup lines and confidence when things go a little further. Ryan is adamant that he is straight but as the camping trip progresses and encounters with Arlo go from verbal, to hands, to beyond. Ryan wonders if they are still practicing and not something else. Ryan finally realizes that he is bisexual and Arlo is gay. Then, Ryan admits he loves Arlo. Arlo was in love with Ryan the whole time.
