Ok so I am finally continuing this series after almost a whole year (I read Book 3 back in November 2022 but I got distracted with new releases/other series and just never got around to finishing this). I remember one thing I really enjoyed about this series is that there is no shortage of disability rep both physical and mental, and specifically rep of less common disabilities that I don't see a lot in works of fiction but especially romance.
Bio-Mechanical is about James who is a double leg amputee and is working to start living his life fully without the whispers of his father who was a preacher who spent most of James' childhood telling him he would be going to hell for being gay. James meets Rowan who we originally meet in Sam's book as Sam's lawyer. Rowan agrees to help James out in losing his virginity and getting to experience hooking up. They arrange a friends with benefits situation with an expiration date as Rowan does not plan on staying in town as he has to leave to take care of his mother who is very sick.
Overall, I thought James and Rowan were very sweet together. I thought the patience Rowan had while James battled in his head to ignore his fathers words was very telling of the kind of guy Rowan is. I liked how James tried so hard to be there for Rowan even when he didn't know Rowan's entire situation. I also loved how James called Rowan "darlin'" all the time <3 I did, however, feel like there were almost too many subplots and it sort of made the romance between the two feel like an afterthought.
I'm intrigued to continue on with this series, though, and hopefully it won't take me a whole year to get to the next book lol
