There is so much good in this book.
The lack of transparency by Sam for the first half of the book was a little hurdle for me, I get his lack of confidence but he must see how his lack of honesty is going to blow up in his face; especially with Cameron accusing him of stalking him MULTIPLE times. This is a pretty normal way for me to feel, I personally get worked up over this kinda thing.
By 60% I found that I would have been okay if the book had ended here. I was really happy.
The last 40% of the book was not quite as quick of a read for me, it was sweet and it was nice to see the couple further solidify their relationship and dynamic, but I had been pretty happy with the HEA in the middle of the book.
Ultimately this was a super tender book. I did find that the tenderness/Dom balance was something I don't fully understand, the whiplash I would personally feel dealing with this would be too much for my single braincell to process.
This was an excellent example of how authors should deal with homo/transphobic slurs. This author was able to imply their use without actually using them.
