writing was sort of repetitive about the entire middle of the book and the final chapter was kind of disatisfying.

IN OTHER NEWS: A new hockey m/m story (why do i love so many of those) + my favorites Shawn and Derek!!! I'm so excited for the next book.

Was it silly of me to expect that Nick would get a normal romance story? Yes, it was. Because "normal" is the opposite of what Alessandra Hazard does and this book was no different. It was a friends-to-lovers story unlike any I've read, mainly because Tyler was so adamant that he wasn't gay, which is pretty hard to do when you're having sex with your male best friend. But he had his reasons for being in denial and all of it made for a good (and hot) read.

Also, I loved the very very small introduction to the MCs of the next book, in which we'll be meeting Rutledge and Shawn again as well (yay!).

This was HYSTERICAL at the start, dummies friends to lovers is my catnip. But it just didn’t stick the landing the way the most recent books in this series I’ve read have (6 & 12). It was also 100 pages shorter than most books in this series, so I think that’s why the “romance” and relationship building between the two MCs just wasn’t there

Oh my god, this was awful. I hate it so much. This might have been the worst relationship to ever exist.

Nick called Tyler a woman during sex, and not even in a kinky way, but instead he did it as a punishment and to humiliate him. I guess it turned into kink later on, but still. The intentions were horrible.
Nick took hate-sex to a whole new level and it bordered on sexual assault. It was even worse since they were supposed to be best friends. It’s not even an enemies-to-lovers thing (not that it would have been okay then). It was just uncomfortable and sad.

Even though Tyler was ridiculous and stupid in a way that was anything but endearing, he still had good intentions and was a nice guy overall. I felt really bad for him that Nick was such a bastard and that Nick suddenly turned so mean whereas he was supportive before; it was heart-breaking. Tyler basically lost his only friend and instead got humiliation, hatred and dismissiveness from the same guy in return.

Despite the awful treatment he got, Tyler was somehow still completely obsessed with Nick and was pretty much willing to do anything for his affection, approval and attention. He was constantly scared that Nick would get angry or get sick of him, and Nick gave him plenty of reason to fear such a thing. It seemed to me that Tyler was basically in an abusive relationship now. How awful.

Also, I’m pretty sure Nick was either a psychopath or had dissociative identity disorder. This dude creeped me out with his mood swings and personality switches. It was pretty insane and not at all normal.

The sex scenes were far too frequent and also anything but hot. Tyler was hyper-focused on dick, and was completely insatiable. He didn’t like men, but he always wanted a dick in his arse. Right..
And then when he did get that dick from his best friend, it didn’t take long for Nick to start aggressively calling him a slut and to always refer to his (non-existent) “wet pussy”. Um. No, thank you.

Anyway, it was so frustrating and so draining to be stuck inside Tyler’s head. It made me so mad and I genuinely just had to skim sometimes because I got so annoyed.
I was really hoping Tyler would tell Nick to fuck off and never speak to him again, but unfortunately that did not happen. He was a major doormat who repeatedly let himself get stomped on. I HATED IT.

This was fun hehe. Devoured the story within a few hours. The story is about the openly gay Hardaway brother Nick and his best friend Tyler. At times I really didn't like the way Nick treated Tyler, but I cant lie the different personas were kina hot. The spice was on point. There was also humiliation and feminisation involved, which I really didn't mind. The ending was just to abrupt, I wish we could have read more about their couple time.
