Blood Red by Cordelia Kingsbridge
4.0
Since my friends in MMRI group recently being so hot on this story, and the time is just so right when I want to read porn, I decide to take a chance with this, eventhough the 'rape' label slightly put me off, afraid that this will be the rape-to-love/dub-con kind of story (which I despised so much). But no, there's not the condition with this story. Yes, there are several rape scenes, but not with the main love interest, Demitrios.
I really enjoy the writing, though the plot flow is predictable here and there. Still, it gripped me right away and didn't let me gothough I'm not as interested as my friends in Lunacy chapter?. The relationship development is good, and Cordelia played with Aedan's view so nice while it's not the best--I've read the more heartbreaking counterpart of Aedan in [bc:A Little Life|22822858|A Little Life|Hanya Yanagihara|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1412530242s/22822858.jpg|42375710]. And I love Demitrios and his stucked-up, well-raised kid's view. Aedan and Demitrios dynamic reminded me of my own m/m character. hehe. stop it, yuu, your bias is so strong to the point of relating all of your own charas to any m/m chara.
Why the name Aeden reminded me of the same name from another book of the same genre? Huh, but I forget where...
