3.5 stars. Sweet, charming story with some kink. There's an amusing sequence referencing the cinnamon roll meme that the title is based on.

Overall, I liked CINNAMON ROLL but I do feel that it was a bit too long and the slower, softer pace didn't help with that. Both Max and Tom are likable characters with realistic flaws, even the near perfect cinnamon roll that is Max. Together they make a great couple and I did love seeing Tom learn that he was worth respect and consideration from not just a Dom but any lover. While I found the plot a bit boring at times (I'm sorry I just don't love foodie romances) I do think the kink was top notch and a great look at impact play.
Content Warning: discussions about Tom's past Dom's ignoring his boundaries and in some cases causing trauma; pain play

Michael Ferraioulo is always a great narrator to listen to.
This book… I was wanting something more to happen. The thing was Toms fear of love or letting people get close since he’s been in horrible relationships before Max…
Overall okay but forgettable read.. bummed because I really enjoyed “syncopation”…

I really love this book, even more on 2nd reading actually. The kink/bdsm intertwined with figuring out aro-spectrum and how kink and friendship or an even deeper relationship is beautifully written.

reread 2024: TFW you are craving a romance that hits all the right spots so you accidentally reread one of your favourites.
reread 2023: the first two chapters in this book live rent-free in my head.

Perfection.

Hottest, Bestest Cinnamon Roll with a Crop
Love it. Will reread. I believed the story as I read it. The kink was amazing, the falling in love even better

I loved this book. It contained such lovely thoughts about the nature of relationships and the value of friendship. And some fuck hot sex.

The only thing that Max knows for sure is that Tom, the handsome lawyer that had caught his eye, has terrible taste and luck with men. After watching failed hook-ups at Bold Brew, Max and Tom finally get to sit down and have a conversation. But will Max be the right man for the job? Or will Tom's insecurities and love of pain be too much for Max to work through? With characters that are entertaining from the opening pages this was a great addition to the series.
