The Dating Disaster by Saxon James
3.0
Felix and Marshal
PLEASE be aware that this review is meant for my own purposes only in order to help me recall this book and is in no way a reflection of what I think anyone else will like or want out of a book. It is simply a memory aid and a rough voice-to-text which is completely unedited/reviewed for errors. Read at your own discretion.
Marshall who is bi and demi decides he wants to start dating. His best friend Bowser sets him up on a blind date with Felix. It does not go well, and then takes a further downward turn when Felix offers Marshall a hook up. They have very different views on sex. Shortly thereafter, Marshall moves into a new share house between semesters and realizes that Felix is his roommate. The dynamic in the book is, Marshall, who is a big teddy bear of a guy, kind of nerdy, and a virgin with almost no experience who requires emotional connection for sex, versus Felix an adorable twink, who uses sex as personal expression. Because of their differing physical expression, they are on different pages the whole time. Eventually they do get together. When Felix goes home with Marshall to his family’s farm in Arizona over spring break and finds out he’s demisexual, it all comes together.
There are lots of crossovers with other books. Multiple characters from the Franklin U series but mostly Brady Talon, who is Felix‘s best friend. Felix’s father is Griff from the Divorced Men’s Club Marshall’s older brother is Robbie from Frat Wars, Master of Mayhem. When Felix goes home to the Harrow family farm, he meets Brandon, Robbie‘s boyfriend. Turns out they are both from the small town of Kilburrough, where the DMC books take place.
