I wanted to like this book and if I don't think too hard about it, I do. However, there are things that bugged me in a way that definitely lead to points being reduced. For example that the MC asked a person he never met before, without proper conversation first, to kneel and be submissive to him. Yes, funny premise. But it bugs me. I'm not saying each person has to fill out that pages long form for their first day, but at least a proper conversation, so that expectations are clear for both sides. 

And that I feel like is a second issue overall, certain actions, expectations and (mis) communication. Not as bad as in other Stories, but still, something that got me out of enjoying the story.
For example: why do you take your ex, who's been bad to you and even cheated on you to dinner? And then why do you change that to taking him back to your house? Or why is the biggest issue resolved by side character changing his option on the matter without the main characters having to change theirs (he only did at the very end and still sort of crawled up his son's ass so imo that doesn't count) or loose something or suffer or idk? Maybe that point is a little harsh.


Anyways, I am happy about the
trans sister and fem dom
side characters that actually got decent page time.

I will continue this series in hope that the parts I commented on gets better/don't happen in the next ones (I'm mostly reading the first few for some of the later books)
