Ugly by Roe Horvat
emotional
lighthearted
fast-paced
3.5
Cute, light-hearted despite some of the themes that are tackled, and damned steamy. This is my second Roe Horvat book, and I've got to say, I'm still not totally sold on his writing (and the way he writes steam at times is a smiiiiidge too cheesy for my tastes; maybe it was this book in particular), but I'm excited to devour the rest of the books in this series and his backlist.
Emerson and Burke were adorable and so perfect for one another; their relationship was pretty much instalove-y, but for the hand they've both been dealt, they deserved to find uncomplicated, immediate happiness. Kirby and Richard were also fantastic side characters, and I can't wait to get their respective stories.
"Ugly" has a whole lot of my favourite kinks and tropes, from age-gap and size difference to all the delicious omegaverse ones (heats, mpreg, knotting? Yes please!) with Roe Horvat's own spin on them. I really liked this short, lovely, steamy story and I'm curious to start book two!
