Now that Monty and Percy are together, this a fun novella of the two of them trying to finally consummate their new relationship. However Monty needs to conquer his own internalized self-hatred and and fear of the future to be truly honest with Percy.

I would like to formally nominate Mackenzie Lee to write my wedding vows after reading some of the most romantic passages I've witnessed in my 25 years on earth.

A cute little add-on for a slow burn of a book. Out of all the will they won't theys I have read, this one is one of my favorites.

This is likely part of a larger series, too bad no one told me when I started reading and did not understand who any of the characters were. Hints were dropped that helped to determine the time period but, again, not many. What is happening? I did figure it out but it would have been helpful to have read the first book.

Overall, two young men fumble through trying to make love. Cute, sure. The most amazing thing I've ever read, no not really, but it was a quick fun read.

[Not steamy. Not explicit. Very safe YAL.]
