This was my Day 4 read for the Trans Rights Readathon! It's the shortest in the series, I believe, but I loved it so much. Zhong's struggle to feel confident in his asexuality and panromantic...ism.... just felt so genuine. And Ash was a perfect delight. I've been waiting for Ash's book since the first story and they did not disappoint!
I don't want to write too much because I'm literally sitting in a themepark right now, but this book has so much heart. If you like your books with diversity (nonbinary intersex deaf mc and Chinese American asexual deaf MC) and a plethora of kink and exploration, this book might be for you!

I normally don't enjoy books with age or puppy play. But this book! It was so wonderful. Low angst, characters I adored, I could feel the love between them. I have loved this entire series so far. Having an asexual MC made me comfortable reading it with the age & puppy play.

Okay, as an ace nonbinary person this book I was very happy with the chance to read a romance between a nonbinary person and a ace person! I absolutely loved them in the previous book in the series, and getting to see more of them in this book was a treat.
One of my top ten books of the year. Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for diverse characters and enjoy BDSM/kink romance!

Ash and Zhong might be my favorite book yet. This was so sweet and cuddly! I enjoyed how this went deep into the meaning of relationships, and what a romantic versus sexual relationship could look like.
I am obsessed with Ash. They have so much cuteness going on. I love their sunshine personality and couldn't stop grinning whenever we were in their POV. They like to enjoy life and can find really beautiful things in the most random places. Reading about them making food art was so cute. I also had so much fun reading about their relationship with Zhong, and how they didn't ever pressure him for sexual anything. Respecting that core aspect of Zhong, while loving everything else about him was so nice to see.
Puppy play was so much fun to watch, and it sounds like a great time. The age play was also very cute, and it was really interesting seeing kinks explored in a nonsexual way. This book was so sweet. I'm really excited to see how the poly group dynamic will work out.

A very sweet will-they-won't-they romance between two Deaf MCs, one asexual, the other allosexual, nonbinary, and kinky. Note: this should be read after Love Lessons; it's not a standalone.
This book is for you if you like: cuddles, doting (if clueless) daddies, shouting at characters to "just kiss already," showing love through food, and/or Ticket To Ride.

This series the 3 books so far have 3 stars for me so my reviews will be similar.
I liked the romance side of the story with Zhong and Ash and I understand where the author was going with the ASL but I found I kept getting distracted from the romance by the ASL descriptions so felt like I kept getting thrown out of the story.
I enjoyed seeing Zhong with his lists slowly figuring out who he was and his connection ton Ash and being their Daddy/Handler.
This book definitely needs to be read with book 2. You need all the connections for it to really make sense.
I'm actually hoping the author takes it where I feel it is heading in Book 4.

Dang, I love the ace rep in this book!! It was nice to revisit some other characters we've met in other books, especially Marco and Greg. Marco's one of my all-time-favs and he's great in this book too, even though he only shows up for a few paragraphs at a time. Unrivaled Daddy.
But yeah, Zhong and Ash are terrific together and I was so happy when they finally actually talked about what they wanted.

As the other books were very kinky and full of sex I was really curious to see how this book was going to unfold. As mentioned in the previous book Zhong is asexual and I was excited to see and learn how he was going to explore being kinky but also explore his relationship with Ash.
But gosh people, this book holy shits. I loved it so so much. And I guess that's to be expected because Morrison has already absolutely proven that their books are amazing with book 1 and 2 of this series. But I keep being surprised by how much each book adds to the series and makes it even better.
I absolutely loved it how much communication there was, miscommunication is a big trope in book 2 so it was nice to see the opposite now. It was great how Zhong kept being open and communicative about his boundaries. And how they kept being respected every single time. Gosh healthy relationships are just so good to read about.
I also really liked it how Ash being intersex was handled. Their body was respected and handled with care. It just made me incredibly happy.
Ash and Zhong explore kink together a lot through puppy play and those scenes were so so great. I felt like crying reading them because they made me so happy. And a little bit jealous I will honestly admit too. But to be honest, these books in general really make me realize I gotta get more kinky myself because I really want to explore what I like more than I do now.
As a conclusion please people read this series it is fabulous.
