Ok there is no BDSM in this book, just some hot dirty sex. And no abusive relationship like some reviewers stated. No one was abused or raped or manipulated. Story is simple, we don't get much of character development here; more of Tom than Law. Yes we learn more as we go along but not much. The book isn't long; we don't have enough pages to accommodate both sex and the inner thoughts of Law.
cocky rich MC, grease monkey, bitchy female figure, public sex, and an MC without a smartphone!! ( )
This short story struck a chord with me. This is how I enjoy m/m characters to be written. They were men who didn't lose their testosterone once their relationship progresses. I really sympathized with Tom because i felt like Tom as I read deeper into this fabulous love story. Sometimes I just need a non-paranormal m/m story and this book definitely fulfilled all the requirements I usually like in m/m stories. This is story stayed in my head even after I finished reading. Excellent job, Jez Morrow. ( )
3 or 4 stars?! I guess I'll go with 4 because I did enjoy the book, but I had a real hard time with Law at the beginning and through the dub/non-con scene. His explanation at the end didn't really make that scene any better since I don't understand why you'd do something like that to someone you supposedly love. I wouldn't say that Law grew on me as I still didn't really love him at the end, but I didn't hate him the way I had in the beginning. The whole Winston/Cynthia/Wells resolution seemed rather abrupt and too easy esp. since I knew what was going to happen when Tom overheard Winston and Law speaking at the reception. I also knew who sent the blackmail video, but this book obviously wasn't supposed to be a great whodunnit/mystery. All of that being said, I still enjoyed the book, and if I owned it instead of borrowing it, I'd definitely re-read it. ( )
