Special Delivery by Arnold Miles
3.5
Special Delivery gives us all the MM smutty-smut-smut. If that's what you're looking for you will enjoy this one. It's lighter on the romance and plot outside of the relationship and sexuality-awakening, so if you're looking for something more plot focused, this might not be for you.
The book is written from Tom's point of view. Tom loves and frequently enjoys no-strings-attached casual sex. He meets Matt, a straight ally, and they immediately hit it off and become great friends. Matt has never been interested or attracted to men before, but as his friendship with Tom grows and deepens he finds that for the first time, he is curious about and attracted to a man.
Tom is incredibly respectful and patient as he allows Matt to explore and discover his own sexuality. Tom introduces him to the idea of possibly identifying as demi, because Matt seems to struggle with having a physical connection to anyone he does not have a personal connection with.
This entire book was presented in a very sex positive light. There was no stewing in feelings of shame or negativity during Matt's self-discovery and Tom was nothing but supportive and open with him.
The narration was great. Nathan Wolfe delivered an enjoyable performance I had no qualms with. I did notice an audio editing error in the epilogue, and I believe there was one other editing error I noticed, but I cannot remember which chapter it was in. Given this was provided to me as and advanced listener copy, I hope they catch those errors before the audiobook is published, but it definitely happens!
Thank you to NetGalley and Arnold Miles for the audio ARC/ALC.
