Before reading: Fuck that!
I'm coming prepared this time. :D
After reading : Holy shit...I think this was the most lubricated read I've ever seen from this author.
For some (or most), it'll be like this:
But for me it was like this:
#TEAMLUBE we're finally in something! *flails*
Sparingly but it still counts!
So let's say you skipped the blurb and the title...TRIGGERS: cheating, non-con, no HEA - no romance and the lead character Blake is a bastard. Actually, I'm unsure on his parentage so I'd rather call him a dingleberry. Because he's fucking mean.
And yet I laughed.
So who is the warped one?
Cancer survivor Blake has a pretty sweet life. He is cancer free, has a wonderful job, a loving and supportive boyfriend and seems to be a great life. But is he appreciative?
Nope.
The fucker thinks he's hot shit and loves torturing his younger boyfriend, Todd, mentally and sexually. And he especially loves sexing every other man other than Todd he can get his dick into.
And Todd is none the wiser.
Enter twinky college boy Kyle, one of Blake's side pieces, the masochistic bottom! (Was I surprised? Nope.) He gets set up into a threesome that turns into a love triangle that twists into something else. Now heavily dose this with fuckhot sex because this is Devon McCormack we're talking about here and you have a recipe for a twisty and edgy surprise.
Deviant at the end but surprisingly...light? I guess when you compare it to some of his other work. *coughs*Clipped*coughs*
I didn't see the ending coming (ha!) and I really liked it. For a short length, it left me satisfied. I have no burning questions that I need to bombard the author with. Everything really is tied up nicely and for the price, I think it's worth it.
My rating...4.5 stars because it made me laugh, groan and need to know more all at the same time.
P.S. This is my kinda of Santa jizz - no fucking Christmas sugar in sight! So if you're a reader in need of a break and want something twisty, erotic and you don't need romance, this might be for you. (I say this as I've only read one Jizzmas story so far this year and I needed it LOL)
P.P.S. In all seriousness, I want to thank my not-so-secret Santa (M), for gifting this to me! You're awesome!
