copiouspep 's review for:
His Cocky Cellist
by Cole McCade
First, I’ll include the content warnings that are found in the front of the book:
• Mention of childhood death of a parent
• Mention of violent conflicts in North African nations
• Mention of surgery and chronic pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome
• Mention of parental neglect and sibling bullying
• Recollection of past humiliations
• Discussions of racism and classism
• Discussion of alcohol consumption
• Depiction of a panic reaction bordering on a panic attack
• Depiction of performance anxiety
• Use of prescription medications
• Chronic illness – specifically hypertension, including an on-page occurrence depicting a dangerously escalated hypertensive episode and medical treatment
• A relationship beginning in a negotiated paid contract for sex work/sexual services
• A brief scenario involving a missing child
• Self-harm
• Unprotected penetrative cis male/cis male sex
• Explicitly described sexual situations involving bondage, control, and Dominant/Submissive dynamics
• Mild sadism as a sexual kink
• Edging and denial as a sexual kink
• Breathplay as a sexual kink
• Use of conditioned trigger words as a sexual kink
• Sex in a public place
• Foot massage – mentioned because some people are grossed out by feet
• Discussion of past sexual assault against an underage teenage girl and the long-term repercussions, including pregnancy and the choice to keep the child
This is my first book that I’ve read by Cole McCade, but it’s definitely enough to get me hooked on the rest of his books, wow.
His Cocky Cellist is so good. It features a bisexual British man - Ash’s friend if you’ve read the first in the series, His Cocky Valet – and a gay Moroccan-American. The story is heavily focused on the two working through their problems together and separately and with great Dom/Sub play. The two had amazing chemistry together, both romantically and sexually, and it was a delight to read about them when they were together.
I love the opposites the two represent: Vic was born rich, to parents who hate each other and is now running his family’s company. Amani was born to loving parents and was struggling to afford college, even though he worked whenever he wasn’t in class. He talks about how he’s treated poorly in the BDSM community just because he’s Black and that people see him as a sub due to his size.
