Benji never meant to catfish a hot college football player in Minnesota when he met a fellow anime fan online. But when @joshfortytwo announces he's coming to Miami for a spontaneous visit, Benji is pretty sure the left tackle—whatever that is—expects to meet a cute girl in a bikini, not an aging twink hoping to finally get his life together when he finishes massage therapy school. Josh doesn't let himself wonder about questions like: why don't you want to ask @princessglitter if she's a girl? why don't you tell your friends that you can't hang on Sunday nights because you've got a date to watch anime with your new BFF? why do you call it a date? All he knows is that he needs to escape from the stress of having been injured just before the bowl game, and @princessglitter has somehow become his best friend. But when Josh's secrets and Benji's sex appeal smash together for forty-eight scorching hours, they're going to feel the heat from Miami to Minnesota.… (more)
Fans of RWBY may be able to tell which episodes are referenced in this novella. I've only seen a few, but it doesn't matter. Loving humor is the resilient, bouncy backbone of this story. HeartShip is comfort reading. The characters are great, just enough bad to highlight all the genuine trust, and I'm still smiling. ( )
I recommend this for someone who loves instalove, which I don't. I'm all for the slowburn. But I still might read the second book in the series. Just beacause of the cover (the guy looks a bit like 50 Cent, isn't he? ) ;) ( )
