review 1: Ugh. I actually like alpha/omega, D/s, and dub/noncon, but this still fell flat on all levels.The scene where Nicky meets Marco for the first time? Bad writing aside, yeah, it was hot for me. But then I was supposed to accept that the two of them were "in love", even though Marco was nothing but an abusive douchebag? No thank you. Either have it all be consensual or have the rapist be an actual rapist, don't use that horrible rape-is-love trope.I might have accepted this story and the plotline if Nicky had broken it off with Marco, but I can't believe in a HEA between these dudes.I'm so sad that a concept that could have been kinky goodness ended up just being horrible and badly written.
review 2: Though the story behind this was interesting, it didn't deliver.... more This book really wasn't well written at all. There's a lot of telling going on and little to no showing. They're in love with each other - sweet. I get it. Love at first sight, blood-mates and all...but I really did NOT feel it. At all. I didn't fall in love with the characters. Oftentimes I just wanted to slap the crap out of them for being and/or talking like idiots. There were also way too many misogynistic messages that I absolutely despised, nuances that you can have brilliant gay erotica without. I've read steamy gay fanfics that made my jaw drop, so I know it's doable.So basically, had the potential...but really didn't hit the mark. less
