Audiobook - 4 stars
Story - 2.5 stars
Oi! I really wanted this to be 5 stars but it just wasn't for me.
This is a case of it's me, not the book.
I loved Adam and Chris when they appeared in book 1. I was looking forward to their story, but when this happened, it ended up being sex, sex, sex, sex, and more sex. I do understand that this is erotica, and i love me some sex, at the beginning it was hot then it became too much.
I ended up zoning out sometimes and didn't feel the connection between Adam and Chris outside the sex crazed zone they were in and when i blinked John Solo was saying Epilogue, and i was like!!
Overall, it was okay until it wasn't.
Totally me not the book.

Christopher meets Adam at a party and is directly drawn to him. He takes him and instead of just a one night stand they are together for the weekend but Adam made huge mistakes in his past and while he is also drawn to Christopher he decides to leave before he gets hurt again.
This was good but too short. There is a huge focus on the sex and while I liked the scenes I would have loved more story around it.
As for the characters I liked them and I think they are cute together. I already read the other two books in the series and have to say I liked those more but this was still a good book.

Low angst. Super hot. Basically focuses on evolution of relationship. I would have liked more background and inner voices of both MCs. No secondary plot. Still I enjoyed it.

I’m being really unfair on this one cause I actually loved it, but there was miscommunication, that would easily have been avoided and it made me so damn mad, that it spoiled my experience for the rest of the book.
But I loved everything that wasn’t linked to the miscommunication. Expecially Adam. He’s so sweet, I just want to wrap him in my arms and hug him tight. And Christopher was so perfect for him. I did really love these two together.

Enjoyed less than the previous since this book was like 80% sex scenes. I wanted more uwu moments or more things going on.

Umm just as, or even more erotica, than the first one, but here I knew more of what to expect. Gotta admit this kind of erotica is not as much my kind of read, I prefer the more romance focus stuff, but this is well written and you do get a sense of the bond between Christoffer and Adam and how they possibly fall in love. Don't think I understood that this was set in Sweden in the last book, so that's nice.

I am typically not a fan of novellas or erotica because neither of them has enough story or character development for my liking but Roe Horvat again has surprised me with how much of both he can pack into an erotic novella. The writing is very good just as it has been in the other books I’ve read by him.
This is Adam and Christoffer’s origin story and can be read as a standalone. Both men have vulnerabilities and insecurities not shown in book one. The time they spend together is quite magical and I loved seeing the development of their relationship. While their relationship does progress quickly it does so organically and is believable. I was surprised by the complexity of each character and how they worked together. I re-read their scenes form book one…if you haven’t read book one yet, it actually happens after this book chronologically so that works in your favor.
This is an absolute thumbs up from me and I’m looking forward to reading much more from this author.

Roe Horvat has proved he knows his way around erotic romance, not once but twice now, and this time he throws in just a smidge of dominance and submission to up the sizzle factor. Adam and Christoffer were introduced in The Other Book, which technically makes this a prequel, as it’s their origin story, but it can be read in any order or as a standalone. I wasn’t sure I needed a book about this couple, to be honest, but now that I’ve read Adam Only, I’m glad it exists.
Christoffer and Adam are physical opposites: Christoffer is the brawny bear with a soft, squishy center, and Adam is the lithe and lovely dancer who is fifteen years younger than the man who caught Adam’s eye at a party. Subsequently, Christoffer spends the weekend blowing Adam’s mind with hours of the kind of sex Adam craves, but as these things often go when the attraction is immediate, the sex is scorching, and the chemistry is undeniable, the lack of anything resembling trust means the weekend doesn’t end with their happily ever after.
It ends when Adam sneaks out on Monday morning, under cover of darkness, sure that he’s been nothing more to Christoffer than a disposable, probably forgettable, certainly unworthy, bit of tail. Because Adam’s history with relationships is not a kind one, and his backstory is one that’s all-too familiar.
Horvat does again what he did so well in The Other Book. Where these books obviously rely on their erotic scenes to entice in a voyeuristic way, he also manages to build an emotional connection between characters and his readers. While sex and sexual chemistry is integral to the relationship, Adam and Christoffer each develop into individuals who are likeable and loveable too, and Horvat made me believe they fit together in the way people who are complete opposites can complement each other’s differences. That’s not easy to accomplish in a book this short, but he pulls it off without question.
