Blog Tourl Off-Campus Setup



Title: Off-Campus Setup

Author: Maria Vickers
Genre: M/M College Romance

Release Date: March 7, 2018
 

Levi Cox left it all behind to go to school in California, but nothing could prepare him for what he discovers when he gets there. Between the university screwing up his living arrangements, the weird meddling old woman who runs the boarding house, and the fellow student who instantly catches his eye, life in Cali is more than he expected, and he isn’t sure he’s ready for any of it. College was supposed to be an adventure, but this might be more than Levi can handle. 

Nathan Orion wants to have fun. That’s what he lives for and it's exactly what his college years are supposed to be about. He’s happy with living the single life and being carefree…that is until the new student at his grandmother’s boarding house crashes into his life. Now he’s been recruited to show the new guy around, and if Nathan has his way, it won't be just on-campus.

Will there be more, or is this only an illusion? Two men thrown together, not expecting anything, but possibly finding so much more than an off-campus setup.

Prologue
Levi
I remembered everything very clearly. The first time we met, our first kiss, the first time we were discovered in the same bed by a nosey grandmother with bright yellow hair, and then the fallout when I realized everything was nothing more than a wishful fantasy that was never supposed to come true. 
And now I as scanned this room to make sure nothing got left behind, I realized how much I’d changed and how far I’d come. My imaginary world exploded, leaving me shell shocked and pissed off. 
This wasn’t the first time I’d fallen prey to feelings, wasn’t the first time I’d been hurt, but it would be the last. 
I took a step out of the room and closed the door behind me. This part of my life was now over, and a new one had just begun.

Nathan
Life as I knew it had disappeared. Poof. Gone without a trace. And any other of those sayings people tended to overuse. 
It was my own fault really. I should have expected it, should have seen it coming, but I hadn’t. And now everything had changed. Good or bad. I didn’t know yet. Should I be thanking her or blaming her? Both maybe? 
As I closed the door on the small space I’d called my bedroom for the past few years, I realized for the first time I didn’t know what I was going to do or what would happen tomorrow…and oddly enough, that thrilled me.
Off-Campus Setup is Maria Vickers's swoony M/M romance that I fell in lust with right away. Levi and Nathan are two characters who are easy to love. 

In a sort of happenstance way our two characters find themselves thrown together and they build a friendship that leads to a romance, but of course things aren't always that easy. They want each other, that's for certain, but can they have more than a few moments together? 

This is only my second Maria Vickers novel, but once again I fell in love with her writing style. Her character voices are fresh, interesting, and they tell a romance with just enough drama to keep the story going, but not enough to seem over dramatic. Something that's hard to find more and more. 

For only her second M/M novel Maria Vickers has a grasp of the genre and knows how to write not only a romance, but a gay romance. In this influx of M/M stories it's getting harder and harder to find those voices. Picking up Off-Campus Setup was one of the easiest things I've done because the story was so good I was captivated from start to finish. 

Highly recommend you to try this if you're looking for a well written M/M love story.
