I guess I agree with my 2016 self's assessment of this book.
In a surprising turn of events, this book is told entirely from Mason's perspective, and despite praising the sex scenes from his POV in the previous book, this book did not live up to my expectations. The sex continued to be lacklustre, but what this book definitely did better than the previous instalments in this series was build up the relationship between Dom and Mason as a more loving and caring one, which was the only highlight of this book.
The whole premise of this book is somewhat ludicrous, but what felt most like wasted potential was the fact that we didn't really delve into the exhibitionism and voyeurism kinks. If you are going to write about it, you might as well do it justice instead of ignoring the voyeur in the room and only making subtle hints to his presence. It is clear that being observed was definitely doing something for Mason, but unfortunately, we didn't actually explore it in the book with 'Voyeur' in the title.
