“There’s no such thing as normal. There is no definition of normal. Normal is subjective. You can’t—and shouldn’t—force yourself to want something ‘normal’ and stop wanting what you truly want. It’s a sure way to make your life miserable.”

Just a Bit Wrecked (book 11 in this series) was recently recommended to me. When I looked up the Straight Guys series and saw there was a prequel short story / novelette, I decided to borrow it since I was looking for something short to read. I did not expect to get hooked, but I ended up devouring this and the two novellas that follow (Just a Bit Twisted and Just a Bit Obsessed) in one sitting. Hazard is a new-to-me author and I have to say I'm impressed. Straight Boy is a surprisingly sweet and sexy erotic romance between prison cellmates. I love that she jumps right into the story, doesn't include a bunch of superfluous scenes or subplots, and keeps the focus on the characters.
