4.0

Cax and Axel attended a religious summer weekend sleepaway camp together and were discovered kissing. Cax disappears and years later, Axel gets a job working for the university Cax attends.

I enjoyed this one but the writing and editing didn't seem to be the high quality I usually see from Sarina Bowen. Quite a few errors in the book. I like Cax and Axel's dynamics a lot, though, especially the times they couldn't see each other and communicated only via email.

toward the very end, one characters ask another “don’t i own you now? like a slave?” in reference to the fact that they rescued one of the mcs and they now are “indebted” to them. i thought this phrasing was very jarring and came out of nowhere. it honestly made me rate the book lower than i was originally going to
