M/M Romance

Goodreads

Two hot roommates, minus clothes, plus a drawer full of debauchery, and a WHOLE lot of tension. You don’t have to be a math genius to figure out the sum of that equation.

They say I’m a super genius, but would a super genius make the outrageously stupid mistake of falling for his roommate? 

Out of all the men in the world, I had to go and develop a crush on the one who’s already in love with his best friend. 

But when Theo tells me he found my drawer of toys, the only logical thing to do is to offer some no-strings fun.  

I’ve read enough romance novels to know this can’t possibly end well, but I can’t seem to stop myself from falling for Theo. 

The only question is… 

Will he be there to catch me?

*By the Numbers is a low-angst roommates to lovers to HEA story with plenty of heat and lots of swoony moments. It’s the third book in the Love Logic series but can be read as a stand alone.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

By the Numbers is a hot roommate romance by KM Neuhold. The third book in the Love Logic series, this is easily read as a standalone, as is each book in the series.

First of all, let's talk about Alex. Dear lord, what a sweetie. He's a complete genius; a total nerd. But he likes sex and he likes it a lot. I love every minute of his snark and dirty talk. 

His new roommate Theo is his complete opposite in every way. He's had a normal childhood and is not so well versed in sex.  

I enjoy the complexity of both men. Alex has always been encouraged to use his brilliant mind to do something good for the world. The thought of not doing so, of doing something he enjoys, has never entered his mind.

As for Theo, he's spent the past so many years in love with the Elijah, who his brother Pax is now with. He still hasn't yet realized that he will need to move on, and Alex just might be the one to help him with that.

This is a tale with shared sex toys, Legos, and plenty of heat. The exploration of kink makes for some great moments. And, wow, Theo's first solo time in this book is awesome!

My favorite parts by far are when Theo helps Alex to experience some of the things he missed during his childhood. There are so many beautiful moments during these scenes which easily made me ready to shed some happy tears.

I truly love the way both men evolve through this story. From strangers, to friends, to friends to benefits, to more. It's a great ride as both men help the other to be a better version of themselves.

By the Numbers is a perfectly sweet, hot, and feel-good romance. KM Neuhold delights in this low angst tale that will leave you happy throughout, as the upsetting moments always lead to something better.

“Wow, something you don’t know; that’s a bit unsettling,” I tease, and catch a quick grimace on his face before he smooths out his expression.

“There’s plenty I don’t know.” 

“Like what?” I ask. 

“Like…” He licks his lips, his eyes dropping to my mouth and lingering there for a few seconds. My heart beats wildly, my cock—my whole body—aching desperately for the kiss I’m pretty sure he’s thinking about giving me. It’s a bad idea; it’s a messy idea, but fuck I want it. 

I’m not sure which one of us moves first. For all I know we move at the exact same time, crashing into each other with eager force. Alex’s lips are soft but insistent against mine as he drags his fingers through my hair, tugging gently. I move closer, knocking my laptop off my knee and onto the cushions, and then slip a hand under his shirt. His skin is smoother than I imagined, his kisses anything but passive as he coaxes my mouth open and slips his tongue inside. 

I moan into his mouth, his hot, wet tongue gliding against mine, our kiss growing heavier and deeper. I dig my fingers into his lower back, feeling the hard outline of his erection against my thigh. 

Alex breaks away, resting his forehead against mine and dragging in a deep breath. 

“I guess that’s one thing I now officially know,” he says with a hint of humor in his otherwise raspy voice. He darts his tongue out to lick his lips like he’s tasting the kiss. Fuck that’s so hot. I mirror his action, dragging my tongue along my bottom lip and nearly moaning out loud again at the flavor of him lingering there. I want to taste the rest of him, strip away his clothes and suck bruises onto his skin, grind our hard, bare cocks together, slide my fingers between his ass cheeks and tease his hole until he’s begging me to fill him.

All the wanting hits me so hard I almost can’t breathe. 

“What’s that?” I ask trying to focus on his words, my brain slow and sluggish, my cock hard as steel as my body buzzes to get close to him again. Although I’m not sure how much closer I can get with our clothes on, we’re still pressed against each other, his breath fanning over my damp lips with every exhale, our foreheads and noses bumping. A little voice in the back of my mind whispers that clothes are definitely an optional part of the equation. 

“We’re hydrogen and oxygen, baby. We’ve got chemistry.” He waggles his eyebrows and another laugh bursts from my throat. Fuck, he’s cute. And hot. And I might be a little bit fucked. 

I groan, unable to help myself as I hook a hand behind his neck and drag him in for another kiss.

Author K.M.Neuhold is a complete romance junkie, a total sap in every way. She started her journey as an author in new adult, MF romance, but after a chance reading of an MM book she was completely hooked on everything about lovely- and sometimes damaged- men finding their Happily Ever After together. She has a strong passion for writing characters with a lot of heart and soul, and a bit of humor as well. And she fully admits that her OCD tendencies of making sure every side character has a full backstory will likely always lead to every book having a spin-off or series. When she's not writing she's a lion tamer, an astronaut, and a superhero...just kidding, she's likely watching Netflix and snuggling with her husky while her amazing husband brings her coffee.
