First problem:Micah + Tadhg Stepbrothers | Feminization | Hurt/Comfort
This was disappointing. Some super annoying issues that were hard to look past.
First problem: There is a scene with OM/OW drama where both MCs are fucking different people in the same house and trying to make each other jealous. One of them was with a woman which a lot of people reading MM dont want to see on page. Perhaps don't bring other people into your childish games and have a conversation instead.
Second problem: Micah cried homophobia every 5 seconds. Someone would just be in his vicinity and he said they were being homophobic. He was being completely ridiculous about it and just assuming everyone had ill intentions towards him. Not. Everyone. Is. Out. To. Get. You.
Third problem: Political tangents that added no purpose to the plot. This is supposed to be entertaining fiction. I'm not here to read your political points in a book. Go write an autobiography for that. Yeah yeah you can write whatever you want but as a reader this is obnoxious. I'm reading to escape reality. Mmmkay. That's why I read fiction and not self help.

"What about the water? Am I about to die of dysentery?"
"You aren't gonna ask me what I like in bed?" "You've been giving me nothing but shit for weeks... So now you're going to be a good boy and take what I give you." "Fuck you."
"Stop finger painting back there." "Fuck me."
"I normally don't do this" "Me either. Thank you for letting me hold you."
"Fuck baby. Your hole is so warm and soft this morning." "I wanna fill you up so badly, darling. When are you gonna let me breed you good and proper?"
"I thought I knew about soul connections and love, but I hadn't known anything at all until this exact moment."
"I looked up at Emery, and the warm affection in his eyes made me realize that I'd never really gotten that look from anyone." "Like maybe I wasn't that hard to love after all."

The book started so strong as a friend to lovers and then the author just decided it was going to be a horribly done second chance all of a sudden at 75%.
I want to give 1 star but am at least giving credit for the first 3/4 of the book before the author decided to destroy it.
This puts J.R. on my shit list. Not sure I'm ever reading another book from them.
!!SPOILERS AHEAD!! . . . . . . . . .
A 17 year time jump?? Are you shit fucking me!? And at 70%!! Ridiculous!
Then to find out Varian married his rapist!! Why??? Arik was even at their wedding! Just why why why?
Varian and Arik had such a good thing. Why did it have to turn into this horrible second chance shit!
Nothing could make up for the time they lost together and the hurt that was caused!...more

Some of the writing I felt was kind of amateur and didnt always hold my attention but there was a really sweet message behind the whole book. Sterling (pretty boy) has a large birthmark over half of his face which resulted in years of bullying and low self worth. He didnt feel worthy of love. Barrett shows him everything he has been missing and treats him the way he deserves.
