spicysmurf's review against another edition

3.0

I liked the 2 MMC POV. The dynamic of therapist/patient POVs is unique and I enjoyed these perspectives. Oddly enough Malcom is a great therapist but in his personal life, he's a dick. I don't know if the author intended for you to view Malcom this way or not. He is a terrible DOM not caring an iota for his sub. Sean, the second MMC on the other hand is fantastic. He loves his girl so much and is trying to better himself for the sake of making his girl happy and improving their relationship.

The spice was a bit vanilla but it was good, especially the Sean/Becky scenes. However, I have to say that it felt like I was reading it from the outside and very disconnected from the scenes from Malcolm, maybe because as aforementioned he's not likable. Even though it was supposed to be a dom/sub situation, I felt like skimming, totally disinterested.

This was a very unique read for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a quick read but that does not take from the story at all. We have Sean who is dealing with issues in his relationship, so he goes to Dr. Colson. Dr. Colson is amazing at his job as a relationship therapist and he helps Sean tremendously, yet in his own personal life he makes some questionable decisions regarding his relationship. I loved how we got to see both sides of Dr. Colson, how he helped others, and how he had a darker side that needed control. I’m interested to see how the rest of the stories will play out because his friend Ava is a very crazy lady and I’m curious as to what will happen.

This book was amazing! I love that he's a therapist who specializes in mostly sex therapy and relationships. I don't like that he has Ava as a patient because that complicates matters a lot. I love that he is able to help a man connect with his wife sexually and save their relationship. I don't particularly like Ava and I think that she is slightly obsessed with him. I don't like that she lied to him and that she was sitting outside of his house late at night. Overall it was a great story and I can't wait to continue the series.

I liked the concept and a window into the mind of a male author but wasn't my cup of tea unfortunately

I enjoyed this book. I liked the two storylines going on with Dr. Coulson, a sex therapist, and his patient Sean. I was not expecting the twist at the end and I’m looking forward to continuing this series.

This is different than the normal books I read lately. Mostly murder who did it kind of book. Malcolm gave the reader a very good look at his profession as a sex therapist and relationship therapist. I could see the issues with Sean and Becky being real. I can’t wait to read the next book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
