One MMCs parents recently died (prior to the book, off page) in a car crash and he's still processing his grief. He also (at the beginning of the book) engages in some self-harm behaviour as a coping mechanism (not self-inflicted, things like instigating physical fights). // Animal cruelty: one MMC has a dog that is disfigured from past animal abuse, theres a description given at one point, but other than that isn't mentioned again.jessicalifornication's review against another edition

After finishing this series, I can finally express how I feel about this particular book. Even though Line Mates and Study Dates checks all the boxes of things I love about Saxon's books, it still missed smth. The beginning was great, promising. I was looking forward to reading Asher's perspective every since his character was introduced in the third book.
However, this book felt inconclusive.
Let me elaborate on that. Every book in this series kinda fell into the same pattern. The conflicts weren't that big of a deal, no third act breakups, but eventually they fix their problems and everything falls into place. But in this fourth book it didn't felt that way, it felt like nothing was happening the last pages but at the same time like something was missing. And it felt that way because the story picks right up from Asher's older brother, West's perspective. Which wouldn't be a problem, if it wasn't for the fact that the main plot and couple of the story changes. So this book fails in giving me a good end to Kole and Asher's story.
At the same time, because I was looking forward to West's story, this book felt a bit boring at times, which is something I don't usually feel with Saxon's books. So overall, this fourth book is good, it checks all the boxes like I said, but it definitely lacks something.

Honestly a great portrayal of grief and character development but I wish we got more from Kole. It’s still a great romance though!

Rep: pan MC, gay MC, aromantic polyamorous side character
I teared up at the end, damn it.
I can't lie, Asher really grew on me. I think he's one of my favorite character for the time being. I added half star because we legit had the word aromantic on page, in non-slut-shaming, positive (!!) way and I loved it. I love it how the two books I have read from this series, the gay MC has a emotional supportive a-spec. I honestly need more of this in my life.
And half a star just because Asher is who is he.
There's only two things I can critique: I wish we had more of was Kole's character. I feel the narration was so focused on Asher (no complaints here) that Kole was a little left behind? I would have love it if the book had gone in more depth on his relationships with his father and hockey and I felt there's something more of Kole being just a "late bloomer" in high school? Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it felt like a missed a opportunity to give Kole's character more depth.
Another thing that surprised me, considering there are two authors, was that at times it was hard to tell apart the two POVs. I don't know if it was just a "me" problem being distracted but there were a few times I got wrong which POV I'm reading and only the character having unusual for them thought/behavior made me realize I'm reading the other's POV. This is solely a writing issue, which, again, is surprising when there are two different people writing the book.
