We are told Miles the Mouse is a 30 year old sheltered man that has followed his brothers dictates without question. But Miles is also a successful business owner that is very personable and generally a friendly good man. Also he is bossy in bed and assertive in his interactions with others. Ok so are you telling me that this guy never came across another gay man who saw the jewel in front of him and pursued him in all of his 12 years since he turned 18? I don’t think so! I think that part of the plot is not believable and was also unnecessary.

I just never came to like Elliot. Nick had more grace than anyone could because he kept glossing over how judgmental Elliot was for most of the book. I just never came to like Elliot. Nick had more grace than anyone could because he kept glossing over how judgmental Elliot was for most of the book. I still don’t know which exemplary character traits Elliot had that made him judge Nick so harshly. In short, f*ck him!

Wow! what a book! Incredible story telling! What I loved most about this book is the way the story unravels. "Unraveling" I think that's the best way Wow! what a book! Incredible story telling! What I loved most about this book is the way the story unravels. "Unraveling" I think that's the best way to explain how this story is told. It feels like the author had a knot of yarn that she unraveled into a captivating story as the book developed.
Both Marcus and Thomas are incredible characters. They both grow tremendously throughout the book. Their story is also very compelling and I just love how the author uses Thomas' art to tell their story so well.
The BDSM is there and at times it gets pretty intense at times. But the BDSM scenes are not the core of this book although it is part of the core of the story.
This story is raw, emotional and enthralling. I will definitely be reading this book several times.
I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates incredible writing.

I loved this book!! So much food for thought about life itself. The people that come in and out of our lives throughout its whole length. What we win I loved this book!! So much food for thought about life itself. The people that come in and out of our lives throughout its whole length. What we win and lose as years go by. The fear of dying alone is a heavy presence throughout this book. More than the fear of dying. ...more

I feel like we wait a long time for a new issue and then barely anything happens! I don’t think I exaggerate. Like I said it has been four years of this series yet barely a few months have passed. The boys are yet to even participate in an actual HS level competition, let alone a National or international competition. What I am saying is: the rewards don’t seem to meet the wait.
Also, I am not loving the sharper lines and angles on the newer drawings. It is making the boys seem much older than they are supposed to be. The coloring on the cover of this issue has too much orange. I thought Jesse looked like Donald Trump’s grand child.
