Mature Content by Megan Erickson, Santino Hassell
4.0

Something made me want to re-read one of the Cyberlove stories recently, and for some odd reason, I chose Mature Content. The reason I say odd is because on my first read of Mature Content I only gave it three stars, the lowest for the whole series.

However, on re-reading it, I couldn't understand why I had sourced it so low! I quickly found myself wrapped back up in the cyberlove world and enjoyed the focus this novel had on the broader YouTube community. Zane and Beau are both reasonably well-known gay YouTube stars. However, their channels and apparent lifestyles couldn't be more different. When they meet in person, they soon realise they have more in common in the bedroom than first appearances would lead them to believe.

A friend with benefits relationship quickly develops, with Beau trying to convince the more commitmentphobic Zane that a real relationship could be possible. What I loved about Mature Content is that neither Beau or Zane are perfect. Both of them are a little scared of committing, make mistakes and sometimes need their friends to help see them through. Although Beau did mess up, he quickly realised and groveled hard to get his man back.

The only draw-back for Mature Content was the ending. Everything wrapped up a little too quickly and neatly for my likely, but that's the land of romance for you.

Overall I've given Mature Content four stars.
