Quite sad over this book. I can’t give this higher as I’ve expected this book to turn me on and give me a boner (like fr), but sadly, it didn’t. It’s also not true if I say this isn’t my cuppa bcs I definitely enjoyed this trope any where else, and I enjoyed something weirder than this, and I am also a whore for masked men. Disappointingly, I find this a little too on top of the surface. Don’t get me wrong, I tried to get into it and the kinks were awesome, but the execution wasn’t as good as the kinks.
To me, the dirty talks felt very repetitive and tried so hard to be hot, but ended up being easily skimmed. It was WHORE, WHORE, WHORE but didn’t actually make me feel like a whore reading it. Their interactions were a bit bland, they had sex and suddenly Toby claimed he was obsessed with the MC. I know this is PWP, but jumping like that also don’t help me understand their chemistry. I also didn’t see any sexual chemistry between Jace, Toby and the MC let alone the other guy. Note that sexual chemistry between characters is totaly different than merely hot sex. And this one laaaacked of that particular chemistry. Probably bcs this is a prequel, but still, suck bcs people definitely don’t pick this up just for the series.
When it’s supposed to be a filthy hot book and didn’t even make it to my hot shelves, it’s just plain boring to me. Sucks, coz this seems worked for everyone else though.
