Satisfying finish to the duet. Neither Atwood or Eren are good at staying platonic with each other and decide at an all male resort to throw away pretense and be together.

Looks like this ties another Odessa book that I will need to read as well

Okay, at this point there's nothing that Odessa could write that I wouldn't toss 5 stars up for.

This one was so heartbreaking and beautiful all at once. The comfort and safe place Atwood provided to Eren after all he's been through was absolute perfection.

“You are a tiny universe comprising every hope and dream I have ever had. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”

UGH. MY HEART.

I don't know if it's because this is father/son vs my preferred brocest or if it's because this one ties in with Twisted Together, which I did not enjoy, but I just couldn't get through this one. It's definitely softer and more wholesome than TT, but just not my cup of tea.

Fue una dulce historia tabú, me agrado como se abordó la relación de Atwood y Eren, sobre todo que se tomaran 6 meses como amigos luego de que Atwood ya supiera toda la verdad sobre su parentesco biológico.

Eren también era muy lindo, me alegro de que se esté sanando psicológicamente después de la relación tóxica con su ex-novio.

En general me gusto esta corta historia de dos libros.

!! Contains only spoiler for book 1 no spoiler for this story 

Quote:
There is no going back to before. I thought I made that clear this morning. But if not, let me assure you, when I said you’re mine, I meant mine in every way possible

In book one:
 One day Eren knocks on Atwoods door. Homeless and orphaned Atwood takes Eren in, without further questions. They connect with each other and Eren starts to feel more than just the love that would be socially acceptable. He has to tell Atwood his secret, but how when he’s not being able to build up the courage to tell A that he is his son. 

 Book two: 
This is the continuation of the morally ambiguous duet.
Since the secret is revealed Atwood and Eren fight their attraction for each other. 
 
A vacation in an clothes optional resort changes their dynamics once again

Just for taboo lovers. Quick read. Low to Medium steam. Read the duet in one go.

Tags for the duet: taboo - father/son - secrets - age gap 17yrs - gay - homophobia - jealous ex - public6 - brief mention: ‘daddy’ - brief mention: death of parental figures - adoption - homeless - praise - hfn -  duet - duo pov - 3rd person

Tags are based on my personal impression/opinion and don’t have a 100% reliability. 
If you don’t know if a book might be something for you: 
Read reviews, ask questions and be a responsible adult.
