I really enjoyed this book. It was a short, simple, steamy read. It was a good prequel to the series. I'm looking forward to continuing with the other books.

“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.

I rarely rate Erotica's this high mainly because they're bad in quality but I liked this one.

I like the tackle of the sexual relationship in prison albeit it did ruin the sexual suspense reading this book and I adore the ending. I'd like to have man like Xavier ❤️❤️


Edit: revisiting my old ratings and I'm thinking this is more of a 2-3 star read. The sex scenes are nice but the book as a whole?? Problematic
