Houston’s dark eyes ran down Kenneth’s body, slowly, then returned to his flushed face. He grinned, but it wasn’t reassuring. It was… predatory. And arousing. Dear god was it arousing. Kenneth had never wanted to be prey more in his life.

Something I really enjoy about this series is that even though the relationships happen and progress quickly, and there’s possessiveness and a motorcycle club, it all feels surprisingly healthy. There’s good communication, focus on consent and safety, and the MC club is inclusive and kind.

I really liked Kenneth. I love stories with lonely characters and this one tugged on my heartstrings a couple times. It was a cute story and I really liked the shibari scenes.

Ever so softly, Kenneth let his eyes fall shut and pressed his lips to Houston’s in the gentlest kiss he’d ever experienced. And it still somehow rocked his whole damn world.

Unfortunately it doesn’t score super high for me because it skipped some scenes that I thought would’ve been really important, for example Kenneth meeting the club for the first time as Houston’s boyfriend, and the first time he meets Houston’s mom and extended family. It can be really frustrating when those important moments are skipped and only briefly summarized after the fact.

His life was good, and he needed to remember that instead of feeling sorry for himself because he didn’t have a bunch of friends or someone to kiss him after a hard shift and make him feel better. He had nothing to complain about, and being jealous of others gave him nothing but heartache.

“You’re going to be more of a handful than I thought, sweet boy,” Houston murmured, and Kenneth worried that was a bad thing. Had he pushed too hard? As if reading his mind, a wicked grin appeared on Houston’s tempting mouth. “Don’t worry. My hands are big enough for the job.”

“All I know is… I want to be important. To be someone’s priority.” He blinked back his tears, feeling overwhelmed at just saying the words.
