Summary

Libraries are meant for studying - not sex.

College sophomore Ethan Follett never says what's on his mind and never wants to rock the boat. After a high school social life spent anonymous and alone, things are finally falling into place for him. He's found a group of friends just as studious as he and is on track for a promising legal career. Out in the open, things couldn't be better, but secretly Ethan yearns for some real excitement in his life.

He finds it in cocky frat boy Greg Sanderson, who challenges every rigid, preconceived notion Ethan lives by. Soon, their sparring relationship turns sexual, and these enemies-with-benefits "get their freak on" all over campus. Yet the more Ethan comes out of his shell, the more Greg retreats into his, working overtime to keep his ladies' man public persona intact. As the sex gets hotter, and they get closer to getting caught, one part of their arrangement can't stay hidden any longer: love.

Contains mature themes.

Much better than expected

Really fun and interesting listen, brilliantly narrated, the reader really brought the characters to life for me
Treat yourself and have a listen to chapter one or two … and btw it’s not the script plot you might guess in advance
A lovely listen overall

Easy read

I’d listen to anything by this narrator. This story is a nice easy listen about awakening. Mild spice is nice.

Enjoyable book

I liked the book. There were some humourous moments in it and the narrator made the book even better. I am a fan of this narrator and have yet to listen to any of his books and not enjoy them.

A favourite of mine

I actually come back to this book time and time again. I find it so cozy and fun, I love Ethan and Gregg and the narration was actually really satisfying to me. It’s a classic for me!

Decent new adult

Out in the Open was good, not my usual go to (new adult) but not something I avoid.

It was solid read/listen. Filled with some great characters and a fun story. Studious wanna be law student falls for a frisky frat bro.

I’m always happy to read anything by AJ Truman

The narration is about the only thing I can fault. The narrator (I’ve listened to no less than 4 of his audiobooks) is incapable of voicing women well. He makes then sound vapid and nasally.

Lusty college students

I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely story of young love. I also enjoyed Alexander Cendese’s performance, who is frequently good fun.
