Brad “Frat Boy” Feller and Sebastian “Toppy” DeWitt have been together for nine months, and their relationship is as hot as ever. The only cloud Brad sees on their horizon is Sebastian’s stress over his thesis. And their uncertain future together after graduation. And how Sebastian sometimes takes Brad for granted. And Sebastian’s unwillingness to introduce Brad to his father.
Other than that, everything’s awesome.
All of Sebastian’s energy is currently devoted to his thesis, and getting into a top-notch PhD program. Fortunately, his boyfriend takes care of all the domestic stuff and Sebastian’s needs. Any minor strain between them will disappear and they’ll return to the status quo after Sebastian graduates. As long as nothing upsets their delicate balance in the meantime.
Then a friend Brad once had a small fling with is forced to take refuge with them, and Frat Boy and Toppy’s delicate balance topples like an elephant on a waterski. Now Sebastian has to face some truths about how he’s been treating Brad, what he wants for their future, and what he has to do to get it.
I have mixed feelings on this book. First, it was not long enough. It almost feels like this sequel was rushed. Sure, there is a precedent in the erotica world for a good BDSM story but not at the cost of two well developed characters.
Anne's first book about Sebastian and Brad was hindered by the title. I know I took some heat for reading it, but the story as a whole was really good. With this book, we had a well developed plot line that could have gone much further.
When an author writes such a short novel, then the plot needs to be straight and to the point and not leave plot holes. This was not the case. I hope that there is another book.
The sex was hot as hell. The way that Sebastian takes care of Brad and all the while they fight through some deep feelings was amazing. This is probably the best part of the book. The emotional connection was palpable and hot.
Thank you to Riptide for allowing me to read this book in exchange for honest review.
Rating: This had the potential to be so much more.
Until Next Time
