Kind of the OPPOSITE of Magic Cock trope

since she's in counseling to build up to even touching his cock

.  I'm impressed with how the author handles trauma and how she does her homework.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first Brash Brothers book. I think that's because I loved Micah so much more than Kade. Big scary looking guy who is super sweet and loves books and has a cat named Minnie that regularly sleeps on his forehead? Sign me up! In all honesty, this book was really emotional, but I really, really enjoyed it.

Also, the scene with the scooters and then the one with the crochet hook sword fight were hilarious in every way!!!
