    Wow. I’ve been in a reading slump for [redacted length of time], and this book DEFINITELY dragged me out of it.

    SPOILER FREE REVIEW!

    The good: the banter was fun, the story was coherent, and it’s the perfect jumping off point for the rest of the series [good job Scott!]. I had a great time reading it and for this genre, that’s pretty much all you need, right?

    The mediocre: The characterizations weren’t my FAVORITE. Kip definitely had some moments that made me go 🤨. And some of the word choices left something to be desired at times. Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t need them going to town on each other every three chapters. There was more dicking down than character development in some places…

    The embarrassing: the descriptor “erection” was used a wild amount of times in the span of only a couple pages. Please. Just call it a dick or penis.

    But yeah, Scott was the winner of the Down Bad Olympics by chapter three, and Kip was right there behind him. I was surprised by how fast they got it together, but this isn’t my usual genre so I’m not the best judge of timeline.

    So 3.5-ish/5 and a newfound enjoyment [not the right word] of smut, apparently!
