While I did enjoy this, I couldn’t help but feel like I was missing something. I felt like so much of Dylan wasn’t fledged out but then when I got to the end, it dates that Dylan was in two other books. So I don’t know if those must be read first but it would’ve been good to know beforehand since you’re literally dropped into a situation with his best friends Sam and Eddie and have zero context. This lack of transparency before starting a book is a huge peeve of mine.

I definitely got the chemistry between Dylan and Angelo, their shift from sex partners to being in love didn’t flow well to me. Kind of felt like pieces were missing. However, I did enjoy their openness with each other and their respect for boundaries. Both were very good men who liked a bit of kink. They did compliment each other quite well.

Angelo was such a grouch but given his medical diagnosis, lack of any kind of familial support and massive debt it made sense. He was actually very noble and did try his best to do right by his family. He was in an impossible situation. It was heartbreaking. I will say that Dylan was a good partner in that respect - he only ever wanted to help Angelo.
