review 1: 3,5*I rally rather lied this story. I didn't experience the bullying so much as bullying (well, if you think hard on it I guess it wasn't nice but on the other hand, the "derogatory" names Colt used, he used them as well, as nick names so at least from his point of view they must not have been meant derogatory in the end). And Nico gave back without there being any consequences, which would be if we'd talk about real bullying.There where some things bothering me, in Colts character. His laughing off or about things got a bit over board and I couldn't follow. Or Colt's "need" to buy Nico a new wardrobe (it's kind of not accepting something basic about Nico). The final emergency operation... well, no, it wouldn't happen like that...All in all a very enjoyable ... moreread.
review 2: I wonder if the younger MC in this story was a woman, would it would still be getting cooing reviews? Because we, as a society, do tend to frown upon older men in positions of power bullying women they work with and I can't help but think this would have a lot more 'this is nasty' reviews if it were m/f instead of m/m. Well, mine can be first. The older MC is a bully and so frigging unprofessional that I'm praying this wasn't based on any kind of real physician. He pushed Nico around for a couple of weeks then takes on some kind of mentor role which involves changing everything about Nico - hair, clothes because apparently he looks like a suicidal emo kid - and a constant refrain of condescending, minimizing nicknames. He kisses him then calls him 'spineless' and emasculates him in front of their colleagues by saying he prefers "his men a bit more daring and a little more... manly".It wasn't until the 90% mark that Colt showed a tiny glimmer of not being a complete and utter prick but it was too late for redemption.I really, really hate giving free books written as gifts for the m/m community bad reviews, but there were a lot of problems with this story. less
