Jessie Walker (1)

**Reviewing Off Sides by Andi Jaxon**

I loved the instant connection that Nick had with Joey. The way he cared for him even when their first meeting was simply a hook-up. Joey isn't "out" and was nervous that someone was going to recognize him in the club and tell everyone.

After a second-chance meeting, they make an agreement to be each other's exclusive hook up until Joey says stop if he chooses. Joey has struggled with his personal issues and Nick sees how it effects him and takes the lead with Joey's insistance.

Although this is a short story, the spice is definitely in full-force and I don't think I will be able to look at cinnamon rolls the same either!.

The conclusion to Way and Will’s story didn’t disappoint. It was every bit as intense, emotional and dramatic as the first book (or rather the first ‘part’ of their story; the author made it clear these are not two separate books in a series, but one book split into two volumes, and I agree).

I said ‘dramatic,’ but I meant that in a good way. Not only the MCs, almost everyone here had been through hell at some point in their lives, and shit got ugly. But they had each other’s backs, and supported one another through it all. What an amazing group of friends.

They’re my family.
Blood might be thicker than water, but us? We’ve got thorns. There is no pulling away without one of us bleeding out. It’s codependent. Toxic as fuck. Messy and raw in a way that most people will never understand or accept.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Found family ftw. ✊

If I hadn’t already known psychology was Jessie Walker’s thing after snooping around on her page, I would’ve guessed from the authentic, no-holds-barred — but at the same time, sensitive — way she wrote about trauma and its effects on every aspect of one’s life.

Way’s trauma took the cake, of course. These boys had to fight tooth and nail for their love and it was just heartbreaking sometimes.… (altro)
