Daisy Harris hands us another winner featuring
the men of Holsum College in Bossy and
the Brat. Bossy and the Brat is
the fifth book in the series and leads us through the trials and tribulations
of Cal and Tyler. Cal used to be the RA
of the dorm and as such all freshmen are off limits as potential love
interests. Tyler used to be one of those
freshmen but we are now in the summer after Ty’s freshmen year and Cal has it
bad for him, even if he does not fully want to admit it. Once Tyler notices that Cal has broken up
with his hometown girlfriend and sees Cal watching him closely, Ty sets his sights
on conquering Cal; or maybe Cal sets his on Tyler. The fun then begins.
Ms. Harris takes us through the emotional
turmoil of Cal, from a small town where homosexuality is simply not accepted
and marrying a good girl is the norm.
Cal’s feeling for Tyler are both wonderful and confusing as he comes to
terms with not only his homosexuality, but the fact that love and relationships
are a “for-ever” and not to be taken lightly.
If he truly accepts himself and Tyler, can he have the happily ever
after?
Ms. Harris also explores Tyler’s
insecurities. Tyler is known for getting
around, but never in a committed relationship; always waiting for the other man
to call and being available for that call.
In Cal, Tyler sees security, love and a deep-seated connection, which
all scare him. But, this is something
that he wants and will even sacrifice people knowing they are dating to have
whatever bone Cal will throw his way. Through
Ms. Harris’ writing, I felt Tyler’s
emotional state and need for love as it radiated through the pages allowing me
to cheer for the boys and hoping their love could withstand any roadblocks
thrown their way.
Eventually,
with a little nudge from Cal’s ex-girlfriend, Nicole, Cal comes to terms with
his love for Tyler and allows the chips to fall where they may.
As the two
men explore their relationship, both emotionally and physically, you will laugh
at their antics as the Brat tries to dominate the Boss and vice versa. Who comes out on top is truly not the issue,
as both men find love and acceptance in each other’s arms. Daisy Harris’ Men of
Holsum College series is a wonderful addition to anyone’s reading list and Bossy and the Brat does not disappoint.
