D is for Desire Me

Classes in Kink #2

by Kaycee Cooper

Top-ranked astrophysics undergrad Josh loves facts, but the hot tattooed barista at his favorite café leaves him with nothing but questions. Why is the blond so turned on by his underwear? Who knew that kissing could be orgasmic? How can he tempt the experienced man into taking his V-card? His mind— and body —burn with curiosity. Laid-back grad student Karma loves a good story... and he knows better than to judge Josh’s ‘book’ by his ‘science-nerd cover’. But how can he—a cannabis-loving creative writer—romance a brainy young space scientist? Should he try to be a gentleman and court him slowly… and what if his fiery little genius has other ideas? When lace panties and food-porn mix with honorable intentions, expect an explosive reaction. Their chemistry may be astronomical, but can Josh and Karma last in the real world? Is their romance written in the stars, or are they on a countdown to heartbreak? D is for Desire Me (Classes in Kink Book 2) is an MM stand-alone gay romance featuring sexy men’s lingerie, an inexperienced seducer, a tribe of naughty co-conspirators, and a guaranteed HEA with no cheating or cliffhangers… but plenty of giggle-snorts, eye-rolls, and first time kink exploration.

When not writing (or reading) an LGBT romance with BDSM and an HEA, she's probably hanging out with her F-bombing best friend and a spoiled rescue D-O-G.

When I read the first book of this series, B is for Baby Me, I had quite a few cringe moments - basically every time the Indian student was front and center. Why I thought a book with him as central character would be any better, I don't know. I suppose the first story worked well enough overall for me to ignore the entitled, badly researched, barely bothered to Google translate, wilful mangling of my culture, traditions, and languages. Or at least tolerate it somewhat. The second time around it became impossible. There was just too much of it. The author has not bothered to do any kind of proper research of a completely different culture from their own before deciding to make one of her MCs belong to that culture. Every page of this book is a cringe fest for an Indian from India - such as me, who has even a basic understanding of Hindi/Urdu/Sanskrit as languages, and of any of the traditions or culture of this vast land. Languages are confused and used interchangeably, cultural traditions from different states are mixed willy Nilly, names are wrong, and don't even get me started on the "Hindi" exclamations and phrases peppered everywhere. About 99% are wrong and would never be uttered by an Indian or completely misused in terms of situation and nuance. There is a lot of Spanish as well, but my knowledge of that language being rudimentary, I will not comment. I would, however, request Spanish speaking readers to check for themselves. Was there a story? Was it good? I cannot say because I was too busy seething through every page. This is another shining example of entitled white authors casually translating a few phrases or concepts via Google, getting it wrong, but never bothering to check or clarify. This book is what happens when you do not respect a culture enough to find out anything about it before using it for "exotic" and almost "fetish" Value to sell your product. I would have included a list of everything the authorgot wrong about India in this book and the previous one but the list would be ginormous and make this review the size of a thesis. Suffice it to say, readers from India -and anyone who cares the slightest about culture and respect- should avoid it like the plague!

So I’m going to say this, book 2 was so different from book 1. I don’t know, it was so much law this and science this that my brain hurt. But I like science but I don’t know it’s the way she written the book I guess where it was all that was talked about. So different from JR book.

But with that being said... I still enjoyed the book. Glad that Karma took action in asking Josh out because I don’t think Josh would’ve done it if it wasn’t for the push. But once they started talking Josh that shy boy anymore. I liked how Karma brought things out in him.

He was a nice fit for him. He help him find himself especially his career path. Whereas Karma figured out his career path too in the end. I was glad of that too. Because if you don’t go for what you want you’ll have so many regrets.

Plus; I as I was reading this book. I so can’t wait for the book with Josiah to come out because I am so curious about him. and I also think Ruby going to bring a lot out him because Josiah seem shy and quite.

I also knew that Tyrell was going to get with Evie, Karma best friend and Sabb (Josh brother) want Sara (Karma sister) because of how he acted around her every time.

Plus there’s something going on with Simon I can’t wait for his book to come out I swear he getting one. Especially since Molly family member Devlin works for him. That kid is triggering him so bad lol...

Plus; I’m going to be on the look out for Josiah and Ruby book. I can’t wait for their book to come out like I mentioned before...

I loved this book. Josh is so dang cute! I just want to reach through the pages and squeeze his cheeks and then hug him! (I mean I already loved him from book 1, but reading his story just made me love him all the more!)

Karma (and his family, too) was everything! He's so chill and yet so amazing. The way he truly loves Josh and adores him enough to take it slow made my heart melt a little! The patience Karma had in courting Josh had him in my heart for good!!

This is a story of true love that doesn't care what others say or what the reactions might be, but just to go forth and really love!

Swoon

Joseph's and Karma's story was everything I wanted. I loved seeing Josh come into his own. To see his character's growth from the first book was really something. Who knew beneath that shy, insecure veneer lay the heart of a fabulously confident toppy bottom😊.
And speaking of character,I think everyone deserves a Karma in their life. His level of positivity would brighten anyone's day.
He was so sweet and supportive of Josh not to forget romantic:💞.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes their story sweet with dialog that is sassy,snarky and laugh out loud.

Fun!

I really enjoyed Josh and Karma’s story! Josh was my favorite side characters in B is for Baby Me and his romantic journey with Karma did not disappoint. It was equally entertaining and educational. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how the other individuals in the squad realize their HEAs.

Side note: If I were to find one flaw with the book it would be the cover as man in the photo, although gorgeous, doesn’t match the description of either of the main characters. As a non-visual reader, I like to refer to the cover photos to help bring the characters to life, and this kept throwing me off

Captivated me to the end. This book was an absolute delight to read, well written, words flowed, had humour in fact laugh out loud moments, loveable characters, both had great families and Josh and Karma were sweet, a slow burn romance as Karma wanted to go slow with Josh, but was also hot, sensual and sexy. Heartwarmingly wonderful.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book for my honest opinions of which I’m under no obligation to do so. I definitely recommend this book. Can’t wait to read the next book.

Sweet & Sexy

This was a very enjoyable book. The first one in this series was great also!! In this one, Josh is so adorkable! And Karma is so chill & down to earth. From the outside, they don't match; but they are such a great fit for each other. Josh not only made the sex scenes hot, but funny also. I cannot wait for Josiah and Ruby's story next.....talk about not matching! 😆 This is going to be fun!

This is a wonderful continuation of the Classes in Kink series. Josh is so sweet and sexy (just wait until you find out where his “interests” lie - swoon!) Karma is caring, captivating and perfect for Josh. The characters are so entertaining, intelligent and wonderfully addictive. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!!!

Brilliant

I would totally recommend this book.
This is the second book from this author I've read and both are amazing, funny, insightful and well written. I highly recommend you read this book as well as the previous one.

A fun story of two young men

I preferred this book to the first story. Both characters are engaging and genuine. The clash of cultures unsettled me initially, but it worked really well in the end and I genuinely didn't want the story to finish

Not quite as good as the first, but still pretty good.
