Manties in a Twist by J.A. Rock
4.0
This is the lightest, and in some ways the least focused, of the books in this series. Kamen is a sweet, funny, warm-hearted, innocent goofball, who is now living with Ryan, the guy he met in an earlier story. He moves through life lightly, enjoying the moment, not worrying too much about the future, but he does care deeply about Ryan and his friends. I adore him, even if he needs to be pinned down and made to take a breath now and then.
This book follows Ryan and Kamen as they explore the shape their relationship is taking - the dynamics (which have some D/s component, but in a relaxed way.) And the kinks - including cross-dressing, lingerie, and pony-play.
While it was fun to watch them explore both, they only skated over the surface of each of those. There are the beginnings of how Kamen feels as he dresses as a woman, figuring out how it might please them. There are also the beginnings of seeing that pony-play might be a way that they balance their size differences and dominance needs, in something that could be satisfying. But both of those are subsumed a bit to the external plot of trying to beat a hated rival at the pony play competition, and the moments of personal satisfaction got lost in the game. It might be a fun intro to pony play and pet roleplay for someone who hasn't experienced either, but the interpersonal satisfactions of that kink are only touched on here.
This was still a fun adventure with these two, but I came away feeling like the deeper and more satisfying parts of their explorations together were yet to come.
