A review by tinkcourtney
Mark Cooper versus America by J.A. Rock, Lisa Henry
5.0
Whyyy did I wait so long to read this?
I mean, I already knew I loved these authors. I even owned both books in this series. I just sort of... forgot about them? I have Shiny New Thing syndrome sometimes, okay?
But OH what a freaking DELIGHT this was! Mark is such a complex character (Deacon fondly thinks of him as an angry bunny, which I love). He’s at times cocky and prickly and unsure and funny. As much as I loved his ready wit he used to deflect *feelings*, I think I most loved when he trusted Deacon enough to open up and be vulnerable.
There is a fair amount of kink the characters explore together, and some of it doesn’t instantly go as expected. That felt honestly so realistic to me and I loved how it was handled (if at first you don’t succeed and all that).
And the frat hazing, while unpleasant, also had a satisfactory conclusion. I was a little worried about a side character and was delighted that he features in the second book, which I am charging right into next.
Don’t wait as long as I did. Give yourself the pleasure of this fabulous book!
