Tame Me by A.T. Brennan

I’ve never felt like I fit in. Why would that change now that I’m in college?

Two years ago my best friend broke my heart and left me to pick up the pieces of my self-esteem. I swore I’d never let another person hurt me and shifted my focus to school and getting to where I want to be in the future. I have a job I enjoy, friends who understand me, and a family that loves me. Everything was going according to my plan, until I started to spend time with my housemate Drew.

Drew is everything I’ve always wanted but told myself I couldn’t have. He’s popular, a jock, and most importantly, straight. But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that what he shows the world is just scratching the surface of who he really is. He’s so much more than I ever thought, and for reasons I can’t explain, he seems bound and determined to be my friend.

Friends. I can do that. Until Drew kisses me and my entire world is flipped upside down. I don’t want to lose the friendship we’ve forged, but I’ve been down this road before. Can we figure out a way to keep things platonic between us? Or am I going to lose another friend when whatever is between us eventually fades away?
