Review: Karma Bites by Erin M. Leaf

Boyd will do anything to avoid his cousin Coco—even pretend to be gay. He’s visiting his dad who’s got a broken arm, and all he wants is for her to leave him alone, so Boyd calls his best friend for help. His father swears that karma is going to bite him on his butt for lying, but Boyd can’t think of any other way to extricate himself from Coco’s clutches.

Harrison will do anything for his best friend—even pretend to be his boyfriend, because he’s awesome like that. Once he arrives, though, Boyd surprises him with a “practice” kiss, which is just totally uncalled for. Before Harrison can fend him off, they’re on the bed making out. How does he get into these crazy situations? Oh yeah, Boyd and his wacky ideas. Harrison’s going to make him pay for this (even if he kind of secretly enjoyed it), because that’s how karma works.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Boyd loves his cousin but will do anything to avoid her at all costs. He will even go as far as pretending he is gay. While Boyd is visiting his father, he tells Coco he is gay to get her off his back only for it to backfire. Now Boyd has to convince his best friend to come down and pretend to be his boyfriend.

Harrison decides to help his best friend out and pretend to be his boyfriend because that’s what friends are for. However, when a “practice” kiss gets out of hand, maybe there is more to their friendship than just friends.

This book is one hot story. The chemistry between Boyd and Harrison is blistering. I liked that the sex play, while a part of this book, was not the main focus of this short story, 42 pages long. I was hooked on the premise of the story and the author did a great job of making the story believable. I found this book to be well written with engaging and interesting characters. Overall, this was a great story. I hope we get to see these characters again. It would be interesting to see them a few months down the line.
