The Mechanic Daddy by Daniel Elijah Sanderfer

DNF @ 27%. This story was like 70% telling and 30% dialogue if that. So much was told and never shown. It was great to see an MC with HIV but other elements in this book threw me off. Leo was a young adult, sure, but he acted really like he was 12 all the time and his quirk of clumsiness was ????. Idk. I usually like a dingdong but not this one. Also I didn’t get far enough to see if this was true daddy kink, but Billy kept calling him “kiddo” and just……….. no. In little space maybe but I don’t think that was the intention of this.

The sex scenes were hot and Satoria’s writing and editing has really improved. I’m happy to see that. However I personally do not believe in the relationship, in the sense I don’t think Colby actually cared about Layton, and was just using him to get close to James. Not to mention for something that is definitely not a dark romance, the attitudes and behaviors for Colby are very fucked up. If a man doesn’t take no for an answer he’s a fucking creep. Especially with not respecting someone’s new relationship or sexual boundaries.

Disliked the way this book did the storytelling of telling us everything - and major flashbacks in between blocks of the present. I understand it was set up for the main plot but honestly, the writing style just was not for me.
Not to mention, there felt no depth to the characters? I don’t know. There wasn’t much connection or personality, IMO.

Beast: Somewhere in the Omegaverse You'll Call Me by My Name by Elliot Roth

This is a book that has plagiarized the book Ugly by Roe Horvat, while also making it some weird Nazi romance where in the sample the PoV narrator justifies genocide and being apart of the Reich because "Well, it gives me power". What the fuck. All the writing that isn't Horvat's is also just bad, lmao.
Beautiful Dreamer by Jayda Marx
5.0
I liked Ollie, it was interesting to have a character that had narcolepsy and it wasn’t presented as something to fix. I loved the exploration of how his specific needs as a person with narcolepsy interacted with their lifestyle. All in all, I enjoyed it.
Fixing Little Red by Izaia Winter
5.0
I liked seeing characters and a friend group laced together over this series, and Red is adorable. I liked that he had established connections and a life (he was a romance novel writer) instead of having nothing to rely on. Makes characters feel more 3-dimensional. The pacing was a little quicker on this one because Nate hadn’t ever been into BDSM and here he was playing Daddy, but it wasn’t bad at all.
