Bad Idea: Some mistakes are worth making.
Reclusive comic book artist Trip Spector spends his life doodling supersquare, straitlaced superheroes, hiding from his fans, and crushing on his unattainable boss until he meets the dork of his dreams. Silas Goolsby is a rowdy FX makeup creator with a loveless love life and a secret streak of geek who yearns for unlikely rescues and a truly creative partnership.
Against their better judgment, they fall victim to chemistry, and what starts as infatuation quickly grows tender and terrifying. With Silas’s help, Trip gambles his heart and his art on a rotten plan: sketching out Scratch, a “very graphic novel” that will either make his name or wreck his career. But even a smash can’t save their world if Trip retreats into his mild-mannered rut, leaving Silas to grapple with betrayal and emotions he can’t escape.
What will it take for this dynamic duo to discover that heroes never play it safe?

A True Romantic Read
By Jennifer L. Bailey
I read a book. A very, very, very good book.
Big surprise. I've read a lot of books. I don't, however, review all the books I read.
A couple of years ago, I read another very, very, very good book. Hot Head by Damon Suede was all kinds of awesome. It stood to reason that his newest release, Bad Idea, would be just as great. And it was.
Bad Idea lacked the overwhelming intensity of Hot Head--which redefined love, loyalty and sacrifice while playing with many of the tropes of gay romance (friends to lovers, gay for you, gay for pay, etc.)--but it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside from the sheer romance of it. It was sweet, but with enough edge and snark to keep it from rotting a reader's teeth.
If you've ever heard Damon speak at an event somewhere, you'll notice that Bad Idea sounds just like him. Fun word choices, wise--sometimes startling--declarations, outrageous imagery. He, and Bad Idea, is oh-so quotable. And his knowledge of the art world--from television and movies to comics and videogames--was used expertly, flowing naturally and enmeshing the reader deep into the story and the setting.
What I loved about this story is that, in many ways, it outlined a very normal relationship. No one needed to save the world. Most of the tropes of romance were absent (no secret baby, no Cinderella story, no gay for you, etc.). The characters met, they dated, they fought and had to get used to each others' quirks and tics. All the things couples do. There are insecurities, jealousies, regret, care. They get nervous meeting the other's friends. They get awkward and make bad decisions.
Now, since this is a romance, there were some great fantasy-filling elements. Silas is a living, breathing He-Man with a sexy southern accent and a need to take care of someone. Can I say yummy? The love scenes are hot. I mean, bring on the ice-water to cool you off kind of hot.
If Hot Head tore out my heart through my nostrils, Bad Idea put it back and soothed it.

Quirky, hot and fun read!
By Nikyta
This review can be found at The Blog of Sid Love.
Trip Spector is a talented comic book artist who hates the comics he draws but can’t seem to change his life because of his sexy and sleazy (but straight) boss. When he meets Silas everything changes and his world turns upside down. Now, it’s full of possibilities and new inspiration. When the two get together, it’s more than just a one time thing, it’s the start of something real, intense, and beautiful but with every good thing, there’s always that fear and, more than anything, Trip is scared his new-found happiness will crumble. The chemistry between Silas and Trip is fierce but will Trip let his fear ruin that?
When we first meet Trip, he’s this big ball of allergies, dreading having to participate in a Zombie Run (where he ends up meeting the super hot Silas). He’s cute and slightly nerdy and I really liked him because of that. He’s confused and mislead by his Unboyfriend (i.e. his c***-tease of a boss). I loved him but I also wanted to shake some sense into him! He’s sooo stubborn! But, at the same time, he’s insecure and wonders how someone like Silas could like him. I felt bad for him because he’s so wound up and doesn’t know how to handle things. Silas, on the other hand, was my favorite character. He’s out and proud, charming, sweet but a closeted geek. He grew up chubby so he always feels like he’s unattractive even though he’s doesn’t have any issues getting a guy. It’s heartbreaking the low self-esteem he has but I found myself smiling ridiculously whenever he’d do something ‘gentlemanly’ that Trip always ended up ruining somehow. It was funny but also kinda cute. Silas was sexy as heck but the two of them together?! Jesus, I don’t like reading much smut but even *I* found these two smoking hot! The two have a great connection and fit each other perfectly, IMO, and I couldn’t get enough of them.
The story revolves around Trip and Silas chartering new waters. Neither of them have much experience in relationships. Silas has a ton of exes while Trip has just been pining after his ‘straight’ boss for the last four years. They start off pretty intense because of the chemistry between them is intense BUT that isn’t the only thing. The story tells how Scratch, an erotic graphic novel that Trip creates based off Silas, comes to be, how much pleasure Trip gets from creating something that’s HIS but also the trouble it causes him to do that. Silas, through everything, is his rock and I really, really loved seeing the conflict Trip always had and how Silas could calm him down. When things start to get rocky, my heart almost broke for these guys.
While I loved this story, there was one big issue I had with it. Mainly, I felt like the writing was choppy and confusing sometimes to the point where I had to go back and reread certain passages to clarify how or why the characters got on different subjects. Mostly, this happened between the shift into the philosophical discussions (that I actually quite enjoyed) but I can’t deny the transition between what was originally talked about and that pulled me out of the story multiple times.
One of the many great things about this book, though, were the secondary characters, specifically, Max, Jillian, Kurt and Ziggy. Jillian and her son, Max, were just great additions to the story. Always filled with something funny or smart to say, I loved Trip’s interactions with them. More than anything, though, I found Ziggy to be a fascinating character and how Kurt is drawn to him was even better. I really hope that we’ll be able to see Ziggy and Kurt get their own story one day because it really would be something amazing to see.
In the end, I adored this story. I found the telling of how Scratch was created fascinating and really cool to experience but I also loved the characters. The journey Silas and Trip go down while they figure out how to have a relationship was sweet, hot and put a smile on my face. I can’t wait to read more in this series and since I haven’t read Horn Gate yet, it makes me want to start it ASAP.

Nerdylicious!
By Christina Marie
I'm in a reading coma. Don't ask how I'm typing.
I hate summarizing. On account of my aforementioned reading coma I give myself a pass. The blurb, in all its blurbiness, tells you everything you need to know about the plot. I just want to talk about all the things I loved.
Wait. First, I feel the need to get this out of the way. I'll begrudgingly admit that this book may not be for everyone. Geek culture prances around the pages unrestrained. Some will get frustrated at not understanding all the references. Others may have a disconnect with the type of humor used. Just know that some and others are missing out on fantastic writing. I didn't get all the references and I still thought that this was perfect for me. I had multiple nerdgasms, and I maybe almost peed from laughing. I refused to put the book down. I read until my eyes hurt, and then I kept reading. I was in a state of bliss (despite the eye thing).
Oh, Bad Idea how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
Warning overuse of the word "love," and mild squeeing to follow.
1. I love the writing. I think it's apparent that Damon Suede's writing has improved since Hot Head. It was already great in my opinion. But I do love to witness a writer hone their craft. While not everyone loves Suede's writing nuggets, I eat them up. They feel like coming home to me. Which, really is completely insane since this is only the second book of his I've read. But I loved seeing his familiar habits. They are like his calling cards, the sound bites, and repetition. I liked it before. I love it now, as I think they were used more effectively here.
It's all in the details; Suede paints with the little things many would leave out (like spit strands). But it was those details that made the story feel real to me, kept me hooked. I thought there was a distinct lack of flowery word-shenanigans, which I appreciate. Suede uses raw language, and some slang. Although, occasionally the latter didn't work for me, as I remember being extremely confused over the word "basket" at one point. Still, there are some great one-liners. Really, I just loved all the words. Well, with the exception of "basket" anyway.
Lovely sentences. They were occasionally ridiculous, mostly hilarious, and always perfect. I love the things you say Mr. Suede.
2. I love Trip. Love. Him. He is funny, infuriating, and nerdy. All bundled into one attractive comic book artist. I love his POV to smithereens. It elicited many giggles. I relate to him the most, probably because he is this anxious, and mildly damaged bundle of nervous energy. His word vomits are the best.
3. Silas, Silas, Silas. The nerd-whisperer. You guessed it, I love Silas. He is sweet, caring, and just loveable. He also dabbles in the nerdy, is a total beefcake, and has so many exes they fall from the sky. His muscles are the result of (*gasp*) hard work, and carbo-dodging. It's refreshing that he isn't magically ripped, and blessed with a super metabolism. He's just big and bulky, with some muscles thrown in. Delicious. Or... life-size Teddy Bear? You decide.
4. I love their relationship. They actually dated! Holy crap. I was starting to forget that dating is a thing people do. I feel like 93% of the Romances I've read recently have MC's who are thrown together into dire situations (like road trips), or they hate each other until one throws the other into bed (naturally). Anyway, I like their little courtship. It's great, but somehow manages not be all fluffy-sugar adorable. Trip and Silas are just perfect together. They are both nervous, unsure, and have these enjoyable little instances of miscommunication. It all makes for great moments of dialogue. It all feels real. Ah, the mating rituals of nerds. They made me laugh, and all right they are occasionally cute.
5. I love all the sexy. Are you surprised? This book right here. This book is...Whoo Lordy (*Fans self*). Trip and Silas are hot together. Explosive. BOOM go my ovaries. The dynamic between the two is just electric. They had some unexpected moments that blew my mind. Honestly though, this is Mr. Suede we are talking about. I was expecting an intense connection, steamy goodness, and all the melty tingles. I have to say, he outdid himself.
The sex scenes are great. Firstly, as I think I've sufficiently established, they are hot. More importantly, they have substance. It's always the two of them working together. Trip and Silas interact and react to each other. It isn't always flawless, but that's what makes it so great. It's authentic. Sometimes the scenes (of which there are the perfect amount) would get a little lengthy. It's not something that bothered me, at all. It always went somewhere, and I felt like I learned about the characters and watched them grow through these scenes. Still, some may be irritated by all the overheating. I would suggest a cool compress.
6. Secondary Characters? Love `em! Particularly Trip's female friends. They are well developed, amusing, and I really enjoyed Trip's time with them. Normally I'd be waiting for scenes with the secondaries to end, but I genuinely enjoyed their presence in the book. They were weird, and fun. It never felt like they were derailing the pacing, or distracting from Trip and Silas. I'm not sure if I liked Kurt or not. He had some great dialogue at the end, and I can't wait for his book. However, that last bit is mostly because of Ziggy. I NEED to get all up in that one's POV.
All in all, I really enjoyed reading this. It made me happy. I laughed at all the jokes, even the ridiculous ones. I LOVED Silas and Trip. I was invested in them, to the point of frustrated tears towards the end. And I highlighted an appalling amount of sentences. I do think that this is going to be a case of the writing not being for everyone. But I do suggest everyone give it a go, and if you happen to be a comic book nerd, even better. Bad Idea is definitely my cuppa!
