Emotional
Love the love in this book. Nathan and Sean both have a past filled with terrible loss. Together they find in each other friendship and companionship and love. It's a Bi awakening that goes from 0 to 60 in a flash. There is some heartstopping drama that happens in the last 1/4 of the story that will leave you in tears both sad and happy. I truly enjoyed this beautiful love story. It was filled with humor and passion.5/5 stars

Sweet, heat, and tears
What a beautifully decadent story. You could feel the connection between the characters. There were plenty of steamy times to. The storyline was believable, and I could visual each scene. The authors definitely delivered on the feels... I had to get the tissues out. Highly recommend!

A Favorite
Love!! I absolutely loved Ethan and Sean’s story. You know how some books just grab you, and you just love them? They become your go-to comfort read, or you still think about those characters? That was this book for me - Straighty and Ninja. I’ve read or listened to this book no less than a dozen times but never sat down to review it. This book just has a special place in my reading shelf. I loved both of these characters so much. Ethan was so confident in all the things he did. If he was going to do them he was going to do them well. At the same time he had no problem sitting back and learning how to do something new. That something new? Learning about his newfound bi-sexuality after being saved by Sean. Ah Sean. Sean was funny, and a deep-seated kindness about himself. He wanted to make the world a better place. Saving Ethan changed both their lives. Sean was able to help Ethan examine his emotional layers he kept hidden and helped him see love was for him. Ethan completed Sean. These two just grabbed my heart and wouldn’t let go. There was some great laughs, super hot sexy times, and a hilarious set of supportive parents. This book has stuck with me years later, and I couldn’t recommend it (or the audio narrated by Michael Dean) more.

Devon and Riley just get better and better!
Absolutely one of my favorites. Great Dialogue, wonderful banter, steamy sex and a nit so straight guy falling for a gay guy. Loved Mr Harris and Mr Wright, the writing was tight as always when Devon ad Riley team up. They never disappoint. These two characters are perfect for each other both cocky, confident and hiding pain from their pasts. The pain shared pulls them together in one more way. The way they are always trying to one up the other is charming and fun. of course there were many strong emotions mixed in with fun and games. But what these two can get out of air hockey, pool and bowling, not to mention their sexcapades is totally remarkable.I have to hand it to Devon and Riley they just keep upping their own achievements. I thought each book I read by them couldn't get any better and yet with each collaboration they continue to prove how good they are and they grow as writers at a pace that makes mere mortals dizzy.Can't wait for what they get up to next. Lest I make too much of the main characters let me just say the supporting cast of characters are so spot on that I can envision a book about each one or pairs of them in conjunction. Just saying lots of places to go here,

Sexy and Fun!
Riley Hart and Devon McCormack are two of the best writers in the business, so when the come together for a collaboration, you know you are in for something special. Up for the Challenge is all that and more.Ethan and Sean, better known as Straighty and Ninja, are a fabulous couple. Sean has always been a free-loving bisexual and Ethan has always thought of himself as "straight" and never really considered being with a man unto he and Sean run into each other at a nightclub. The attraction between the two men is instantaneous and something neither of them can deny.What follows is a funny, sweet and amazingly sexy love story. The banter and snark between Ethan and Sean is hysterical and the smexy times are off the charts. What starts off as a strictly sexual relationship quickly evolves into something much more and the two men bond over each having suffered the loss of loved ones in their past. They discover how much they have in common and their developing love lets each man let go of their grief as they forge a new life together.Don't miss this incredible book by these two amazing authors. You won't be disappointed. Up for the Challenge is their best book yet!!

Perfect MM Love Story....
What an incredible love story! This book has been one of the best romances yet. Every time I read more into the book, I was drifted away into the lives of Ethan and Sean. Being a hopless romantic, the entire story was incredible. I laughed, cried, and dreamed of a hope that one day I might find a love like this. Riley and Devon (authors) did a phenomenal job of caputuring the MM romance with two individuals so different, yet so much in common. The twist at the end was perfect and really made me want to see Ethan and Sean's future beyond that last page. I didn't want the story to end.I am so excited for their next book coming early next year and so happy that this one is in my library. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys the MM romances. It's nice to be wisked away to a land where love is possible, even for two strangers.

Awww
Ethan + Sean=🔥🔥🔥.This was a pretty neat story to read. I LOVED the chemistry between Ethan and Sean and this was such a fresh take on a man finding his personal identity while developing friendship and love with another man. What I liked most about it is how well written it was because the story never got boring even if it was sad in some bits but I LOVED this couple and this book was SO. GOOD.

Life love and laugher
Nathan and Sean met when Sean saved Ethan twice in one night.Neither thought this would start a beautiful friendship.Sean is Bi and Ethan always thought he was straight . Needless to say their connection was something both did not understand but was up for the challenge.They fed off each other's Santa. Ethan soon found he wanted to kiss Sean and his cocky attitude was not going to be denied.This is a love story of discovery fun and acceptance. Working on trust and understanding as in any relationship.It's was funny..and sad.Get ready to laugh out loud but also have the tissues ready .

Straighty and ninja
Yet another brilliant book by devon and riley these two authors are a match made in M/M romance heaven. This book is fun,sexy,sad at times and did I mention sexy the two main characters Sean and Ethan are brilliantly done and the story is brilliantly beautiful. Sean is a fun loving guy with a hero complex and Ethan is a serious cocky guy but when these two meet sparks fly. A definite must read

Great book with a lovely HEA
I enjoyed reading Ethan and Sean's story. There's the usual self searching and exploration when Ethan embraces his sexual preference changes. Good banter, strong plot, lots of laughing moments, a few sad pages that will tug on your tear ducts.I'd give the book 5 stars, well worth a read.
