Summary: When his family pressure him into entering in a bachelor auction, Cedric finds himself out on the town with partyboy Brian (who happens to have been in love with Cedric’s older brother). Both are drifting a bit in their lives, and find purpose together.
Stats: CR, M/M, open door, part of a series but largely stands alone.
Notes: This was cute, but very light. I loved the food descriptions, the caretaking and the grandma (with her marijuana dumplings), but felt like one of the MMCs got more of a complete arc than the other, and that the story was overall a little too abbreviated (especially at the end). The writing was also a little clunky, and the story is a little meta occasionally which doesn't generally work for me, but it was enjoyable enough nonetheless.
OTT and Spoilery Content Notes:
