"Because you like being a couple with Adrian. Even a pretend one. Even with the awkward jokes and all the eyes on you..."

Being closeted gay-virgin-professor at a conservative Christian university was not easy for Noah. For years he build a wall around him that put him away from his family and make him live a lonely life.

Works become his hiding place.

Until he meet Adrian. Noah then learned that he want something more that he'd forbid himself for years....

Being abandon by his date on the campground alone with no wallet on his supposed to be "a romantic trip" to Denver for his sister wedding was not what Adrian expected will happen in his life. Especially when his sister will married his ex!

So, coming home with a date was something crucial for Adrian, at least to safe his dignity.

But then Trent leave him with nothing after they have huge fight.

Then came Noah, like a good Samaritan offering his help to stay with him for a night at his RV. With nothing left on him except cloth his wearing and Pixels, his tiny dog and last dignity he has, Adrien must accept Noah offers and stayed with him while hoping that Trent will comeback tomorrow.

But Trent never showed again. So Adrian being stranded in the middle of campgrounds in the cold winter with a stranger.

Noah then offering to take Adrian to Denver, and then....the most romantic journey begin...

It's a bit awkward at the first time, but it not take to long for both of then fall into 'a comfort daily routine'. Noah working, Andrian cooking, driving, walk the dogs. Everything fall so perfect in just days count. Both Noah and Adrian can not denied the growing attractions between them.

Adrian want to be every "first" on Noah life. First gay kiss, first make out, first humping, first dance, first make love. He wants to show Noah what he'd been missed all these years. He wants Noah to feel everything and Adrian wants him to be all Noah's first time.

But then Noah did what he think it's good for both of them, and leave Adrian heart broke into pieces....

Will there's a chance for them to together again?

***

I've read this book twice before I finally can write the review. And both read give me exactly same feeling. I love every-single-things that happen in this book!

Both Noah and Adrian have adorable characters.

I love how the author put everything together. For the story that only happen in days count, I didn't feel it too rush. On the contrary, I can feel the slow burn when they growing the feeling.

And it make everything in this story feels so perfect.

“Dance with me.” Adrian started swaying. 

“Adrian?” Noah asked against his neck. “What are we doing here?” 

“We’re making memories,”Adrian said hoarsely. “Let’s make some good ones. I’m going to think of you whenever I hear this song from now on. And I’m going to remember driving in the snow and Thanksgiving picnics and this. Dancing...”

HIGLY RECOMMENDED!
