This was recommended to me from Goodreads since I finished other M/M romances, and can I just say it is not of the same caliber. If I had to guess, this book was written while the author (who has never had sex) was in high school or the first year of college, and the book is self-published.
That being said, B.Q., if you are reading this, I think you could have potential. I have included detailed edits to make in my first issues section of this review. I say this as the printed date in my book is when I ordered it on amazon. So maybe you have the ability to make changes. That said, let's get into it.
The first issue I have, the editing is so bad. I have the paperback version; on page 15, the author says Nick has green eyes. Only on page 21, the author changes the description to say "crystal clear blue eyes" for Nick. Not only does the description of the romance interest change, but on page 11 at the very bottom, the author is discussing the best friend Ethan, who is gay, and it currently reads.
' I softly chuckle looking at him text. What's wrong bro? Time to meet up with your boyfriend? He's dating this chick named "Texting your boyfriend?" I asked with a sarcastic tone.'
Like, where does dating a chick come into this, and why did it abruptly stop and start again as if nothing happened? It either started as one story and turned into another, or the line "He's dating this chick named" was never met to be added and somehow made it past the author, an editor, anyone in the publishing, and arc/beta readers and still made it into the final print. This weird non-editing happens again on page 28 with
' "Like a pro," I Smirked.
"Yeah... call me a that," he bragged. '
A that? No offense, but I am a horrible editor, and I am catching multiple mistakes. On page 32, the sentence reads, "I can smell the smell of his Adidas cologne fill my nose" like smell the smell? Hello?!
The second issue, the book, is shorter than most novellas. It is expensive both in paperback and on kindle for how short it is.
Third, the book reads like a high school English assignment for a short story that the author added bad erotic scenes into. Jacob has more scenes and conversations with Elise and Ethan (his two best friends) than he does with the romantic interest, Nick.
The fourth issue and most irritating is the overuse of the word bro. Do not take a shot of liquor every time the author says 'bro,' or you will be dead by the end of the whole book (even if it is only 99 pages).
Fifth, the logistics of Nick and Jacobs first time, most of the hookups after, and overall logistics and flow of the book. The comment I made of the author having no sexual experience comes off as mean, but men cannot finish and then go again another two or more times. I get this is a work of fiction, but being on the market as erotica or romance, there should be some truth to this aspect of events.
Fiction is letting go of the fact that college students cut the melon into hearts shapes and carried it to the beach to put in punch bowls for a college party. Find you I did not go to college in the midwest like in the book. So maybe I have low standards from my experiences, but hell, most colleges parties barely have cups. Clean or unused cups make me feel special. Ice is a rarity. Specially shaped fruit in a communal punch bowl --sure in fiction. That I could believe. A man ah.... performing hard three times in the same setting back t back to back. Nope.
So many things are missing to make that scene possible and I do not mean contraception, which was also absent. Not to mention for a romance or erotica, there was literally no romance, and the hook-up is less than a page and a half.
It was like the author was putting in kinks off a list:
submissive/dominance: check
spanking: check
daddy kink: check
Expeditionist kink: check
.... Nothing is truly done correct or well. It just mentioned as if working off a list.
There was no character development. Insta love has a whole new meaning since one guy looks at another and falls in love. Nothing happens, and that love is reciprocated and then announced. The two never discuss anything relationship or feelings-wise. In fact, most of their conversation is nonsensical or 'dirty talk.' There are a lot of absurd actions. The BFF, Elise, kissing Jacob, seems thrown into this story for no reason. In the last three pages, we find out Nick's parents kicked him out for being gay. Like why include that so late in the game? Was it because Jacob took him to meet his parents? Then make that a bigger deal. For a book called soulmates, they never even asked one another to be in an official relationship or told each other they loved each other. So much of this book did not need the details or sentences, while other aspects should have been emphasized and more detailed.
Finally, Jacob, the main character, is a tool the way it currently reads. He runs out of his body wash and uses his roommates continually without asking. He wears this roommate's clothes without asking. I get this is a setup for the hook-up later, but he also went throw Nick's stuff right upon moving in. A lot of these things could be cute and couple-ly if re-written, but as it stands, he comes off as not caring for others, including his quote soulmate Nick. Jacob's friendship with Elise is only taking about Nick or studying, where Jacobs still zones out to think about Nick. Finally, Jacobs asks Elise about herself life awkwardly might I add, and it goes right back to being all about Jacobs. His social interactions come off as autistic (which --nothing wrong with that if you write it in!) or douche-bro. The author mentioned Jacobs being nervous and shy because of the first day of school and moving in but then never mentions it again.
Overall, too many mistakes to be worth being paid for. I would not even read for free on kindle unlimited. So not sure how this has such a high rating on Goodreads. My guess is it is all his friends promoting him. And good for those friends! Your friend is trying to be self-published, and you are being supportive. Otherwise, I am truly stunned at people's anserine behavior. This level of unintelligence makes me understand natural selection, and I would have no problem referring to these people as mouthbreathers.
I mean this in the nicest way, if this is a way to get free editing, message me. I will help fix some things.

I forgot how good the storyline for this series is! I literally couldn’t put the book down! I love the chemistry between the two main characters and there is never a dull moment! Absolutely loved this!

Saw this recommended to me after finishing another one of BQ's book, and I must admit I love it just as much as the others. The sex was intense and sensual, and the chemistry I felt was good.
