Ace by Jack Byrne
3.0
I started the book some time ago and just couldn't manage to continue. Damien's inability to understand Jake's sexuality was a major sticking point. But for asexuals relationships sometimes are quite complicated - especially when people of that orientation don't completely understand it and feel broken - Jake's case.
The fact that there is the subject of non-con, was what made me so uncomfortable with this, as I have encountered people who have misunderstood consent. But in the end (I'm on a row of completing started and incomplete books that I'm forcing myself through) the second half of the book kind of redeemed itself, and in the end wasn't even that hard of a read.
Rating first 40% of book 1.5/5
The last 60% - 3.5-4/5
