There is some angst in it, although not too much. It was adorable how oblivious and in SO MUCH DENIAL they were, especially Mac, who kept insisting ‘he’s not gay’ which *technically* is true but… Come on, Mac 🙂 Also both of them are ‘these are just my feelings, there is NO WAY he’s into me’ and they don’t talk about it until the end! 🙂 So the two hang out, watch series or play games…until Jez suggests doing something more 😉ĭespite being more into each other than in porn, they pretend to watch it while masturbating together…although there is an instance where watching it brings some change to the hands-off thingy. And as we all know, staying in can be annoying enough, and so much more if you are stuck in your room. Helping Hand focus on Jez and Mac, two ‘straight’ guys who have partied way too much last year and are now staying in – Jez because of his overdraft, and Mac to focus on his studies. Have to seize the opportunity, right? 🙂Īs said, it is the first book in the series which deals with different people in the same household (even though some leave and others come), all of them students. I was introduced to the book quite accidentally – I saw somewhere that it was free on Amazon and I decided to try it. Helping Hand is the first book in the Housemate series by Jay Northcote. This book is a complete story and can be read as a standalone. But falling for your ‘straight’ friend can only end badly, unless there’s a chance he might feel the same. One thing leads to another, and soon their arrangement becomes hands-on rather than hands-off. When Jez suggests watching some porn together, he isn’t expecting Mac to agree to it. While their housemates are out drinking every weekend, Jez and Mac stay in to save cash and focus on their studies. After partying too hard last year, they make a pact to rein themselves in. Jez Fielding and James MacKenzie-Big Mac to his mates-are in their second year at uni.
