À propos de cet audio

They say blood makes you related but loyalty makes you a family…
Sounds like a tacky wall-art quote to me. But what do I know? I don’t have a family. Not anymore. And I definitely don’t know loyalty. Not since my brothers collectively decided to shut me out of their lives... Not since my mother lied to me and kept a devastating secret... Not since my father sold our company out from under me to a smug jerk with a chip on his shoulder.

Gideon Masters… he’s my new boss, and I hate him for everything that’s happened to me. For everything that’s been taken away. Even though I know, deep down, that being an angry bastard all my life hasn’t done me any favors, and that my hatred must have consequences. So maybe Gideon is my rightful punishment. Maybe I deserve his retribution for my sins. But the way he taunts me and torments me, the way he commands me, it all feels too good to be wrong. Maybe I don’t want him to stop. Maybe my punishment could also be my savior.

This story contains intense themes of depression and homophobia, as well as other potential triggers. Please see the full list of trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

This was an interesting book. Much more serious than Rose's other books, much of the book was about Mitch overcoming his internalized biphobia. It was a good look at the beginning steps, lots of details about his freakout, but surprisingly few about the long-term progress on each individual incident, not much processing on what this means for him, and how he was ok with moving the goalpost. That's not depth I would normally expect from a Cora Rose book, but there was so much detail already, that leaving this out made it feel a bit hollow. That said, it was still a very good look at how closeted gay men are usually the most dangerous to out gay men.

The rest of the book was about family - specifically fan service for the previous books. I felt there was too much emphasis on this, and it felt less like a romance book. Especially since there was so much to discover about Gideon and we never got any of it. It was all about Mitch and his family and his problems.

The book is remarkably well written and shows that Rose could absolutely venture into more serious books, but the balance for a romance book was off for me.

a deep exploration of internalized homophobia
