I have some mixed feelings about this book; I really loved parts of it but other parts just didn't work for me. I liked the start of it a lot, it mixed good sex scenes with emotional angst in a really nice way. I'm a sucker for a young sub with a messy life, trying to figure his place in the world and being taken in by an older dom, so that dynamic worked for me from the get go. It went a bit off the tracks for me when Randy showed up, partly because I just never warmed up to him, so while I understand the purpose he served in the story it just made me feel like the main romance was treading water for a really long time. It also didn't help that that part of the book had a couple of kinks that I didn't really vibe with, which is very much a personal taste thing and not a judgement on the writing itself, but did lessen my enjoyment. The last part of the book was okay, but I would have liked to see more of them actually being together, especially considering the very last event in the book. While it was somewhat expected it was still surprising, considering that they had spent less than two weeks together – and almost half of that with a third person. It just made it a little too hard for me to suspend my disbelief at the end.
