Just a Bit Confusing (Straight Guys #5)

“Just a Bit Confusing� is yet another novel of The Straight Guys series that left me with a contented sigh and a smile on my face. With her amazing and engaging writing style and character building Alessandra Hazard is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors and I have found each book of The Straight Guys series to be absolutely captivating.
“Just a Bit Confusing� is the story of Ryan, Zach’s brother from the previous book, and his lifelong best friend James. James has been in love with his straight best friend for as long as he can remember. He loves Ryan with all his heart and soul but the pain of loving someone who doesn’t feel the same way about you can be almost unbearable, devastating. After years of dealing with unrequited love he has finally realized that he wants Ryan so badly he'll take any piece of him he can get. In some ways though, getting what he has wanted for so long leaves him even more broken and vulnerable than before.
Tristan said softly, "You already feel it, don't you? The bitterness, the jealousy, the ugliness."
"James swallowed and averted his eyes. He wanted to deny it but couldn't. He didn't like the person he was becoming: someone who constantly lied to hide his feelings, someone who put on a smile when he felt like punching people or curling up and crying like a baby. Someone who felt sick and bitter watching the person he loved be happy.
Wasn't love supposed to be selfless?"
Ryan is the solid rock who's always been there for Jamie. He considers Jamie part of his family,like a brother. When faced with Jamie’s true feelings he suffers too. He feels confused and awful knowing he is the reason his Jamie hurts.
Their relationship is beautiful, intense, passionate, emotional, and hot.I laughed, I cried, and as always, I had a great time reading this book.
"I don't like the person I become without you. I'm not sure I even know that person."
Feeling naked in a way that had nothing to do with exposed skin, Ryan cleared his throat.
"I didn't realize how much I needed you, how bad it would be. Didn't realize how bad I was at functioning without you."
Once again Alessandra Hazard gives us another heart stopping romance.I can hardly wait for the next book to come out. Keep them coming. I’ll keep buying and reading.
