Getting Him Back by K.A. Mitchell
An unexpected fresh start leads to an unlikely-but-absolutely-perfect pairing in this male/male new-adult novel from bestselling gay romance author K.A. Mitchell
Ethan may have followed his high school sweetheart to college only to get dumped his first day there, but he's not going to let that stop him from exploring all his new life has to offer. Sex-only hookups, his photography, new friends and a campus-wide game of zombies vs humans all help keep his mind off his broken heart and move him toward building a new, better life without his ex.
And then there's Wyatt. Mysterious, grouchy—hot. And possibly not gay. But Ethan's not going to let that stand in the way of figuring out what makes Wyatt tick. New college goal? Get Wyatt into bed and into Ethan's life.
Step one: arrange a "tutoring" date. Step two: "accidentally" bump into Wyatt as often as possible. Step three: explore the sexy body under that ever-present hoodie. And when their friendship deepens into something neither of them expect, convince Wyatt he's not just a pity fling or a one-time hookup, but that Ethan is in it for the long haul.
This is my first book by KA Mitchell and I didn't know what to expect, I had read some really great things about he books so I was ready to find out for myself.
The story grabs you from the get go, right away I felt connected to the characters, it was so easy to fall into the story, to read about their troubles and their successes.
We start the book with a heart broken Ethan, who just arrived at his first year of college, one he picked because of his boyfriend, but oh surprise! On his first day his boyfriend dumps him! So we have Ethan sort of trying to find his place in this new life, finding friends and getting involved in the school and finally meeting someone new.
Wyatt is our other main character, he is kind of a mystery but soon Ethan manages to get him to open up bit by bit.
I liked how the relationship between this two was at times kind of aggressive and raw but at others very sweet and the underlined feelings was always of acceptance.
The story moves along very fast, as I said the characters hook you immediately, they are lovable and intriguing and the writing is magnificent.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book in their story.
