Just… not good!
I can appreciate porn with no plot. I truly can. In fact, sometimes I prefer it. But this just… wasn’t good!

This book wasn't that great. Tyson and Sean had some chemistry with some hot scenes together, so I'm giving this two starts instead of one for that, but other than that there wasn't much substance to this story.
Tyson and Sean were both very one dimensional, cardboard cutout characters. Tyson was all about "I'm so selfish, I'm a manwhore, all I care about is fucking 24/7" basically until all he cares about is fucking Sean 24/7 - which, funnily enough, we don't actually get the fucking until late in the book. Sean is all "soft, meek guy with no backbone and no agency 100% of time" and both were annoying. I would be fine with Sean being that way in the bedroom and even outside the bedroom if he was anything other than that, if there was more to his character than just being really submissive. If there was more to Tyson than just being a dominant extremely horny guy all the time.
The sex scenes were annoyingly drawn out - it took forever to get to the action, I skipped a lot in this just to get to the good stuff. Also in the non-sex scenes these two would go off on tangents in their internal monologues, for a page, two pages, or more, before getting back to the damn scene in which they were talking to each other. It was boring and I skipped that a lot too. There's using a few paragraphs to explain something pertaining to the story and then getting back to the dialogue in a scene and then there was these scenes, which was basically like every scene in this book.
The things these two thought were silly and over the top, and there was no dimension to Sean's parents or any other character in this either.
It was all very one-note and boring, not much more than an okay written erotica trying to be more than erotica and ending up just being a fairly bad romance book.
Don't recommend this, it was pretty boring and silly overall with only a few redeeming qualities (i.e. when the sex scenes actually got to the sex part.)

The writing was soooooooo bad. It was so hard to follow the story cus every scene was broken up by paragraphs of internal monologue that did nothing to move the scene along. I just kept getting bored and confused. Also it was just weird.

Read to me by Alexa
🌶️🌶️. 5
Quick steamy read. Sean is a quiet small freshman who has lucked out into rooming with a big attractive junior football player, Tyson.
Tyson is already out and proud and keeps a steady stream of boys in and out of their dorm. Sean has a difficult past that kind of keeps him in the closet and it takes some time before Tyson realizes that Sean is also attracted to him.
Sean ends up being a natural submissive and just wants to serve Tyson and hand over all control to him. This isn’t a BDSM book but there are themes of power exchange and a bit of a Daddy Kink without calling it that.
I just felt a bit unsatisfied with the end. I was left with the impression that Sean can’t really be without Tyson now. But they are in different years in college. Tyson will either graduate before Sean or get drafted. Either way he’ll have to leave Sean at school and this is never really addressed. So it felt more like a HFN.
