3.0
So, I’m a bit torn on this one…there was good and bad. I’m just going to throw down my thoughts about the book so it won’t be a normal review.
I understand that Blaze had a hard life. I get that he’s suffered. After damn near dying in an attack which he only survived because Galen interfered, his lack of reaction did not work for me.
Galen just learned about Blaze’s past and he all but raped him without prep or lube, which incidentally was Galen’s first time with a man. Fortunately he realized what was going on before it ended and corrected it but that was really hard to read.
I did like that they got their histories out in the open early and we didn’t have too much drama from that.
There was a lot of time spent on the casual side of things but when Galen decides he’s ‘all in’ the book is almost on fast forward. And the direction of their future was told through Blaze thinking back about it. I would have liked to read about that real time.
The angst with Galen’s parents was pretty predictable but I am glad it wasn’t drawn out and Galen settled it quickly.
We meet who I’m assuming are the characters for the rest of the series. The next book appears to be a triad and the synopsis seems like one I’ve read time and again. I’m not sure whether or not I’ll stick with the series.
