Love Him Free by E.M. Lindsey
3.0
So although this is book one in a series, it's building on an already existing series by another author (or the same? It's hard to tell sometimes) that I haven't read. So there were a lot of characters with backstories and names to remember, which wasn't prohibitive to enjoying the read, but it was a little annoying.
I gave this four stars at first based on feeling - overall it was sweet, and I liked the premise of the overburdened shy baker and the Deaf pornstar and their totally unlikely relationship. The more I think about it though the shine comes off a bit. There was a lot of telling and not a lot of development to the characters, even Simon with all his backstory and his diva brother. Rocco's main personality was just his Deafness, and that he liked Simon instantly. That's kind of all there was to him.
Also, there's no epilogue, just a piece of amateur fan art? So, yeah. There's that.

Spoiler
Also is he still doing porn at the end? What is Simon studying, how will he use his degree? We never get a real discussion of the future with them.Also, there's no epilogue, just a piece of amateur fan art? So, yeah. There's that.
