His Cocky Cellist by Cole McCade

5.0

What do you get when you have a romance between a rich “straight” white submissive man and a Black femme dominant man who doesn’t take his shit? This GEM of a book.

I ate this shit UP! Both Victor and Amani are gonna live in my head rent mf free. The TENSION?! The back and forth?? Victor being literally obsessed from the beginning?? So so good. I’m not even a BDSM girlie tbh but this story balanced that dynamic with their relationship outside of the bedroom so well. So, every steamy scene seemed to simultaneously build up their character & relationship development, which is the kinda shit I live for. I already want to reread

I also love that Amani was very straight up with how he felt about Victor’s wealth, didn’t make excuses for him, and that Victor came to terms with what he was saying in a way that didn’t feel “white savior”-ish. I just recognized that a lot of care was put into that aspect of the relationship in a way that didn’t feel gross.

Yeaaaah this is a new fave, much better than the first (which I liked!). Also it has become clear that I need to read Cole McCade’s entire backlist :)
