Everyone's got secrets. Some are just harder to hide. Bend or Break, Book 1 With his father's ponzi scheme assets frozen, Tom Worthington believes finishing college is impossible unless he can pay his own way. After months sleeping in his car and gypsy-cabbing for cash, he's ready to do just that. But his new, older-student housing comes with an unapologetically gay roommate. Tom doesn't ask why Reese Anders has been separated from the rest of the student population. He's just happy to be sleeping in a bed. Reese isn't about to share his brutal story with his gruff new roommate. You've seen one homophobic jock, you've seen 'em all. He plans to drag every twink on campus into his bed until Tom moves out. But soon it becomes clear Tom isn't budging. Tom isn't going to let some late-night sex noise scare him off, especially when it's turning him on. But he doesn't want any drama either. He'll keep his hands, if not his eyes, to himself. Boundaries have a way of blurring when you start sharing truths, though. And if Tom and Reese cross too many lines, they may need to find out just how far they can bend...before they break. Warning: This book contains cranky roommates who vacillate between lashing out and licking, some male/male voyeurism, emotional baggage that neither guy wants to unpack, and the definitive proof that sound carries in college housing.

Needed a lighter book, although I realize student recovering from prior sexual assault is assigned to share a room with student whose dad is going to trial for running a ponzi scheme and discover they might be soul mates doesn't sound fluffy, but comparatively. Especially because I had already read the follow up, and knew quite a lot about how it turned out.

Roommates story. Tom has gone from being rich track star to being homeless w/ no friends after his dad is arrested for Ponzi scheme. Reese is living in off campus housing for older students because of a very bad experience in a prior dorm. They are trying to survive & build a relationship thru all the bad stuff. There was crying during this one. #romantsy

I liked the characters in this a lot, though everyone's dismissal of Tom's very real trauma frustrated me. It felt like he made all the concessions and Reese made none, and I prefer romances where it feels like both characters are growing together.
