Not doing it for me. Very boring beginning, and the writing is stilted.

Wow!! Tender, super sexy, thoughtful in its exploration of consent, need, belonging, and what constitutes loving pairings or triads. Highly recommended!

Oh, my...

First in an ongoing series. Crap. So interested in these characters and their dynamics. I was reading for two hours straight last night and didn't even realize it. Heavenly.

I mean I literally have no notes. Kris Ripper owns me now. Ze owns my whole soul, I'm zir servant. 
No but for real this 👏 is 👏 a 👏 book 👏 
Lil synopsis: Will is struggling to maintain a normal relationship because he yearns for a certain dynamic - he craves submission but is too scared to explore that side of himself. Luckily, his twin brother Ads is a complete menace and (after discovering his search history lmao) connects him with the local BDSM community aka Hugh Reynolds 😏😏😏😏 
Not only is it a beautiful example of how a writer can jump between POVs without disrupting the pace and narrative, but instead ADD to the tension and engagement of the reader. It is also a perfect marriage between incredibly hot scenes and intensely introspective and poignant character analysis. I mean I DEVOURED this book and at the time of writing this review am halfway through the second one. 
I havent raced through books with this much fervor since discovery Alexis Hall's writing during the global panini. 5/5 cannot recommend highly enough. I could HEAR my heart beat.
