Amazing

I love the friends to lovers dynamic in this book. I also enjoyed the way Josh and Adam started off slow instead of just rushing right to the good stuff- well it was all good stuff. Definitely a slow burn, I loved it and would definitely recommend!

Sweet, almost too sweet.

Rationally I know that it was sexy, But not worked for me, didn't push my buttons. Even it bored me a bit.

Reads like high quality fanfic which is not in my mind a criticism. Just kinda light, not too angsty, the author is nice to the characters.

An interesting combination of sweetness and hotness as two inexperienced college roommates discover they are perfectly balanced in their desires.

Adam discovers some images on Josh's computer: images of kneeling, collars and spanking. He is hugely turned on and embarrassed at being caught but unable to get the images out of his mind.

"Did you, uh, like them?" Josh switched the TV off. "The pictures?"
He carefully refrained from pointing out he'd had his hand in his pants when Josh had walked in. "Yeah, I liked them."
"Even though they were all gay?"
"Kind of especially because they were all gay."


There is a real sense of anticipation and nervousness as Josh and Adam start to explore their D/s relationship. On one hand they are both tentative but they both know what they want and there is a real honesty to the relationship.

It is sweet to see their emotional connection develop at the same time as they get more adventurous in their exploration. "He and Josh were walking close enough that his hand could brush Josh's without much effort. He didn't, but he could."

This was a relatively short story but the journey was engaging from Josh and Adam's initial explorations into BDSM to their realisation they wanted more than a 'business arrangement'.

I now publish all my m/m reviews on my blog so if you want to visit all my m/m reviews in one place come visit at Because Two Men Are Better Than One!

Uma leitura surpreendente, não só na sua componente erótica, mas no desenvolvimento que vai proporcionando às personagens.
Todavia, a personagem Adam nem sempre parece ter vontade própria e o interesse romântico parece muito rápido.
