This is the one part of the book I can never agree with.

Yes, it's MMF, but at least it's not MF, and it's Veggie Tales the MMF!

Wait, is a character with a nickname of Iggy really played by Iggy Toma?! 🤣

I can't say how much I love that this book has real body positivity about different sizes of penises, and that people with shorter ones can also provide pleasurable experiences as tops (to those bottoming for them). I honestly get tired of every MMC having a "monster cock". I get that a lot about romance novels is the fantasy, but what if realism is part of the fantasy for me?

Dane being genuinely flustered when his mom asks him to toss the salad, and literally not knowing how to literally toss a salad. ^^;

Ope, this is where Chekhov's Epi-Pen is gonna be fired!

So incredibly grateful that subplot was resolved super quickly.

I know this genre has a tendency to be emotionally intense, but damn, just ruin me why don't you? Definitely headed for 5* territory.

This book probably has the sweetest fucking (hah!) spice scenes of any book I can remember. Like, through both the words Yorke wrote, and the voice acting, the care Connor and Dane show for each other in (and out) of bed just shines through.

Chekhov's Epi-Pen

Finally get to listen to the second book from the series that had Sweat!

Yaaaaaas, new Grayson Owens duet MM!

"That doesn't influence your main environment - your home - which is the main environment which influences your mental health."

Well, that was apropos as shit.

I paused, staring at my text and feeling like it wasn’t enough. Without letting myself overthink it, I followed up with one more, even though I wasn’t double texting anymore… I was shamelessly moving into triple-text territory.
Buzz buzz, mother fucker. Answer me!

"I'm still holding his left arm hostage, but he's able to use his right arm to sign a version of 'fastest'."

Again, the ASL awareness is miles ahead of anything in Bad Bishop or God of Ruin.

"Would you tell me if you were?"

As someone who's dealt with chronic passive, and occasional active, SI, and believes in autonomy over one's own life, but has also had to make safety plans with one's care team... I'm not sure I've ever been asked this particular question? It's definitely an informed one, and one I'd probably honestly answer "probably not" to. Or at least "it would depend on how serious I was".

Okay, we definitely need more books where the couple is just sharing a space in silence. Also, Tristan's "bored at Dad's office" energy is the best.

Granted Tristan is supposed to have a Boston accent, and I think Kip is supposed to have an NYC or NJ accent, but both Alexander Cendese and Max Meyers would have made much better Kips than Tor Thom. Although there was an interview I was too anxious to watch where apparently his accents in Game Changers weren't actually his fault, but the fuakt of bad direction?

Either way, I still dream of an eventual re-recording.

OMG, this is the first time the dirty talk has me literally blushing, laughing, crying, and pissing myself, all at the same time. 😳

I like how, unlike Bad Bishop or what I've listened to of God of Ruin, this book actually seems like its author actually understands ASL as its own language - maybe studied it or is a CODA. It brings up ASL slang, words that would be fingerspelled because most people wouldn't know the actual sign, etc...
