His Boy Next Door: Season One by R.J. Moray
☀️☀️🌤️
While recovering from a big trip and respiratory illness I found myself unable to concentrate on much, so this PWP seemed like an easy read while recuperating. It essentially delivers what it promises: a smutty as hell age gap romance with plenty of kink.
I liked Channon as a character - his naivety and eagerness to please is well written and believable, but does leave open some discomfort in the nature of his relationship with Jack. I generally dislike age gap romance for this reason, and the arc they go through in terms of Channon's reliance on Jack made me a bit too uncomfortable in the end.
The numerous sex scenes were well written, and there are healthy conversations going on throughout about boundaries etc which I appreciated, but generally it felt a bit too convenient that they liked the same stuff and Channon never had to express a hard limit throughout the book.
As far as supporting characters go these were pretty bland. I enjoyed Kim's contribution to the plot but found Channon's relationship with his mum awkward and her understated reaction to the revelations at the end so unbelievable I sort of cringed.
For a quick, spicy read it did what it was supposed to, but there were just a few too many icks for it to be right for me.

"They hadn't got anywhere near Channon's limits yet, he was sure of it, but they might have started to feel around them, finding the shape they occupied in his brain. So. Jack carefully and deliberately set about driving Channon out of his mind."
