Be Still My Heart by Charlie Cochet
3.0
3 Consistent Cochet Fluff Stars
I can totally see both sides for those who love and don’t love this series, and I’ll basically leave it at that.
What made this story was Red. He is the biggest teddy bear who ever teddied, and he’s been crushing hard on fashion photographer Laz. When someone wants Laz dead, it’s the perfect opportunity for Red to get close to protect the man he’s falling hard for.
Light on the angst despite some heavy topics, this was never short on the smexy and had some nice dashes of dirty. This also had some good group dynamics which were expanded upon more here and always brought out the fun and mischief.
It can be a boon or a bane when reading a favorite author, and when it’s not part of said author’s most well loved work, there’s a chance for the latter. For me, everything else doesn’t come close in comparison, as this is not and never will be THIRDS. Is it fair? No… but it is what it is and overall, this sufficed. Regardless, I for sure am not missing Mason and Lucky’s story which is up next!
