Pins & Need

Breaking in Bryce #2

by Zoe X. Rider

Bryce wakes up the morning after with plenty of physical evidence to remind him of what he and Matt got up to the night before. But did they mean what they said last night, or were they just caught up in the rush? Bryce is tortured all day at work and can't focus at band practice. When they end the night early, he texts Matt to see if he's doing anything. "Come on over" pops up on his phone.

The continuing bromance between Matt and Bryce features porn, a late-night trip to Walmart's hardware section, 50 feet of rope, and an edging experience that makes Bryce think he's about to lose his mind... (15,000 words)

(“Pins & Need” is part 2 of Breaking In Bryce. Part 1 is “Whiskey & Bedposts.”)

Holy hotness batman. Phew.

I enjoyed the second installment of this budding relationship and hope there will be another.

The way they were with each other as they explored their new feelings was great. I liked that they started talking and were able to figure out what was happening between them. The glimpse into Bryce's thoughts while at work were pretty interesting and the trip they both made to Wal-Mart was a definite highlight!

So much potential (Edging, hello?!) and yet so bloody anticlimactic.

Typical Ride: great premise and oodles of hotness but fails to pull it out of the bag. Book 1 in the series worked (just); this one? I was left feeling frustrated. Yawn.

This story's sexy, but it's also a bit of a mess - lots of missing or incorrect words and in one example, a thumb being pressed against a mouth turns into a tongue in the very next sentence. Editing, people!

Reread Review
3.5 stars again

Again, I still enjoyed this! As I stated in my Whiskey & Bedposts review, the story seems more complete to me after reading Pins & Need back-to-back since it's told from Bryce's perspective. I thought it was a great idea to change the POV.

Initial Review
3.5 stars

I enjoyed this continuation of Matt and Bryce's story. If you haven't read Whiskey & Bedposts, then you need to read that one first. This time the story is told from Bryce's point of view, which was a pleasant surprise. The two explore a fantasy of Bryce's and it was hot! I felt like this had a strong happy for now, but I wouldn't mind another story.

Review to come.

Bite sized kinky hotness.

[Rachel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Suffers compared to the previous one. Also, weirdly, doesn't seem like the same guys - even beyond the different POV so many differences in the dynamic.

Yeah, I'm just not a fan of BDSM.
