Guest Review: Bumper to Bumper (Cruised #1) by Gretchen Evans

Gabe is bored with hookup culture. He’s in his thirties and wants something more stable. But sitting in traffic is even more boring. He expects more of the same tired, headless torsos when he swipes open Cruised, the most popular hookup app for men, during his morning commute. Instead, he meets Mark.

Mark is handsome, funny, and interested in conversation. He’s also interested in meeting Gabe in coffee shop bathrooms for quickies on the way to work. Mark doesn’t rush out of the room after sex either. He’s tender and sweet, and way more than Gabe had hoped for. The sex is hot, but the connection between Gabe and Mark is something deeper.

Gabe’s feelings grow each time he and Mark text, but seeing an attractive woman driving Mark’s car stops Gabe cold. He doesn’t want to hookup with a cheater. He doesn’t want to stop seeing Mark either. But could it all be a misunderstanding?

Gabe knows nothing about Mark’s life or how to negotiate a hookup into something more. Does Mark want something more, or is he already taken?

Reviewer: Shee Reader

This is an adorable and sexy little tale of “just one last hook-up’ before Gabe ends his search for meaningless sex on hook-up apps. It’s a quick and satisfying read, but I’d have really loved to see more from these two characters, not just a novella.

It's a really cute concept of sneakily texting a hot guy from a hookup app whilst sitting in traffic, but it quickly escalates to orgasms in coffee shop bathrooms just off the highway.

Gabe’s heart is racing as he meets SilverFoxxx for the first time, but Mark is even hotter than Gabe had dreamed, and their steamy connection is cute as hell.

Exchanging numbers changes the dynamic a bit, but the intimacy is amazing for two guys who hardly know each other.

The sex is hot, but the connection is hotter, and the cheeky little HFN is just what the romance doctor ordered!

Recommended.

I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
