I'm stuck in a straight guy's apartment. How am I supposed to deal with this?

I hadn't planned on living with Ross very long. I just needed a place to stay to get on my feet after a bad break up, and happened to be friends with his sister. But when the shelter in place order comes down, not only do I lose any chance of finding my own space; my bartending job dries up, too.

And Ross is taking this order very seriously. He grew up in a family of Montana doomsday preppers, and his rules are very clear: we've got three months of food, and neither of us is leaving—for any reason.

I don't have a ton of money, and there are bills to pay. But there are a few different ways to make some cash online—especially when the rest of the world is shut inside, too, and need something to entertain them. Who would have imagined I would end up on a cam site entertaining guys from all over the world just by being myself and having fun? So long as I wait until Ross goes to sleep before I log on, anyway—I definitely do not want him to know what I'm up to on his couch.

But Ross is full of surprises, it turns out. And I guess I am too. Because what I end up sharing with him is something I've never shared with anyone before. I just worry that things are about to get very complicated. Because every gay boy knows the cardinal rule:

Never, ever fall for the straight guy.

Shelter in Place is the first book of the Shelter series, a light hearted, low angst story about a kinky little family as it grows over three books. This book involve a low-protocol exploration of Dom/sub dynamics, humiliation play, exhibitionism, a brief experiment with urination, and non stop scorching hot dialogue throughout. It ends with a HFN ending with no cliffhanger.

If you can't tell this is a steamy M/M story from the description, then Simon Strange can't help you.

My review: 

I loved reading this book so I was more then happy when it came out in audio. 

The first few minutes of the audio was a bit blurry and I thought I'll DNF it if it won't change, but hopefully it had changed. The narrator is new to me and first I got a few probleme with the narration but after a while I really enjoyed it and I got lost in the story real fast. 

The story itself is amazing and it's really good in audio too. I liked listening to Ross and Cal's story, both voice were great. 

I hope the next book comes out in audio too, because I can't wait to listen to that too!

Here's my earlier review about the ebook: 

When I started this book I never in a million years thought this would be this awesome! 

The story takes place in this hell we call life now - I mean with the COVID-19. And this was my first surprise because I was curious which author/story will be the first about this.

Ross and Cal were so cool, loved both of them. This kind of slow-burn is the best. Cal wanted everything from his straight roommate, while Ross didn't know he wanted and needed the same. They were perfect together. 

The whole stuff how Cal managed to make money was hilarious and so awesome. Loved this video/live porn thing and I couldn't wait for Ross to find out - and OMG how good it was, like holy helllll sooooo good and HOT.

The best about this book is the romance - you got all the filthy scenes with hot conversations, and you think it's all about the sex. I mean yeah, there were many sex, cum and nakedness like in every page, but it was so cute at the same time, because they were finding their true self and fall in love with each other. 

And yes, the erotica was amazing and loved it, but the romance was the best. This is the perfect book where there is enough amount of erotica and romance.

The D/S thing, the humiliaton and all those stuff - just yummy. And Matty, ahhh cute Matty. (I read the freebie with Matty too, and oh goooood so good! Little Matty is the cutest! And loved Cal and Ross together, Daddy Ross and big brother Cal, awwwww♥)

So yeah, I loved it soo much! Perfect. Couldn't put it down, and I just can't wait for the next book. I'm so curious what will happen next. 

Highly recommend it!
