“i’m fucking feral for him. his sex, yes, but for him, more than anything. i think i’d let him stuff his entire body inside me at this point, just to keep him; to feel him reigning over my insides.”

∘₊✧the characters✧₊∘
kyran harbor oh my god, kyran deserved to be bubble wrapped and protected from the world. he’s all sharp edges and bite, but underneath that? just a boy who’s been hurting for a long time. feeling abandoned by his mom, ignored by his dad, and replaced by this cheerful new stepbrother. he lashes out constantly, hates everyone (especially avi), and uses anger as armor. but once the layers start peeling back, you see how much he just wants to be seen and loved. and the way he needed praise from avi?? the emotional vulnerability wrapped inside a praise kink? i ate that UP. he made me wanna cry and scream at the same time.
avi vega literal sunshine boy. like, he's the softest softie but also has this quiet strength. he tries so hard to reach kyran, even when kyran is doing his best to push him away. avi’s got his own stuff going on, coming out, figuring himself out, trying to keep the peace in this newly blended family but he always shows up. his patience?? unmatched. his dirty talk?? immaculate. the way he kept calling kyran pet names and giving him exactly the validation he craved? yeah, avi was that guy.
∘₊✧the plot✧₊∘
the premise was so well done. two opposites forced to live together after their parents marry, secretly hating each other for years, and then because of financial struggles, they start an onlyfans together. what begins as just content for the fans slowly becomes something more. and the way “for the fans” became “for them”? iconic. it was about money, yes, but also about healing and connection and finally seeing each other clearly.
i loved how the camming wasn't just a plot device, it was emotional too. it became a space for kyran to explore his desires and finally feel safe being himself. the scenes were spicy, don’t get me wrong but they were also tender and intimate in a way that made you feel like you were intruding on something real. also, the way avi never made kyran feel ashamed? top-tier green flag behavior.
∘₊✧why not 5 stars?✧₊∘
as much as i adored it, i did think it dragged a bit in the second half. like… i was starting to feel the length around 75%. if it were 150-200 pages shorter, this easily would’ve been a five-star read. some scenes felt repetitive emotionally, and i wish we’d gotten to the resolution a little sooner.
∘₊✧──────✧₊
tldr : i loved this book. the angst, the vulnerability, the absolute filth everything hit. kyran and avi completely stole my heart. if you're into messy boys with trauma, high steam, and all the hurt/comfort you could want, read this. it’s long, it’s intense, and it’s gonna leave you emotionally wrecked in the best way.

This audiobook is lit. Narrators are fucking excellent and the story is pure fantastic filth!
I’m a whore. I admit it.
Never in my life have I read a sex scene and gripped my bed so hard. What the fuck did they put in this book.

3.5 for me.
This is not a trope I'm typically into (college setting, jockey MC) & I personally didn't super dig the storyline. But I'm not gonna lie, the hot sex kept me turning pages. I couldn't get enough of them not getting enough of eachother. This read was 100% smut driven for me & I'd sooo read it again.
