Tam is the flatest character I've ever read to the point I barely understand why this first person POV. I understand how the character's lack of personality works in universe since he was a slave since childhood (which gives me the ick concerning his relationship with "The Master" even in gay romance), but the only reason I even finished the book was to get to the other two more interesting characters. Sad to say, as soon as Tam was not the POV, I wanted to edit him out completely. 

The writing itself is okay. There's some inconsistencies and repetitions I wish I could edit, but I like romances that build so I'm not mad.
