Alexander is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality and his place inside the brotherhood while Scott learns a valuable lesson in respecting others feelings. Unfortunately, Alexander's volatility becomes something both must overcome while simultaneously maneuvering through a city more dangerous than ever. (SEQUEL to Traded and Picture Perfect)
Continuation from Traded #1 & Traded #2:Picture Perfect. Reading the masochist-relationship between Scott & Alexander, not as what I expected. But what I like about the story is how Alexander@Alex came from being denied-being-gay into being only-attached-to-one-gay-person after meeting Scott. Though at first I don't like Scott character, but then again, he just want some attention especially from hot guy like Alex.. To bad the story stop at chapter 15.. still wish it continue..
Only four chapters of this fic have been written, and it seems like the story has been abandoned since it hasn't been updated since 2013. I was loving the darker mafia aspect of this story. Alexander's struggle with his attraction to Scott, his anger issues, and his desire to rise within the Mafia ranks, while learning how best to utilize his skills, all make this story more complex than the first two. Having said all that, I really, REALLY, REALLLLY cannot stand Scott. He is disrespectful, obnoxious, annoying, childish, provoking and insufferable, and the only reason I would have continued reading this story is to get to the point where Alexander finally snaps and beats the brakes off of him, Russian enforcer style. A hospital stay for him would not go unappreciated. I dreaded having he and Alexander actually get to a point where they're in some kind of relationship,so I'm kind of glad the author abandoned this...though, if she did start it up again, I wouldn't be able to resist lol. Truly, I had had enough of Scott in Book 2, and he hasn't gotten any better. I would much have preferred Alexander with Maksim, someone older who could help guide him, while also helping him release some of that anger. Maskim would also teach him nothing is wrong with bottoming from time to time. Whoo! I'm swooning just thinking about it.
As usual, Petrov and Michael, and Grigori and Caleb are entertaining. Two great, but very different, couples.
