Benji by N.R. Walker

3.0

3 stars
I really didn't want to rate this book so low, but here I am.
Too many things that didn't work for me: excessive romanticising of sex work (Benji and the guys worked literally on the street, I would have understand if they worked safely for some kind of agency), justifying that work because they had a high sex drive (again, not safe, better do porn), insta love between Benji and Nolan (I understand Benji's feelings, Nolan was the one who made him feel safe, but not Nolan, he went from being perfectly content with his job to wanted to quit in a matter of four/five days); also the unprotected sex (I don't think they could have that level of trust after 2 days of knowing each other).

The MCs are great, I loved them and the side characters: Nolan is sweet, kind, loyal, a good friend and a honest person; Benji is just trying to protect himself, but behind all his walls, he just a simple guy looking for love.
The issues with Benji's past were resolved too easily, it seemed that the only purpose of that plot was to let Nolan's protective side out.

I'm very interested in both Fitch and Kylan's stories, but it seemed that they'll both have daddy trope. We'll see.
