WATCHING AND WANTING BY JAY NORTHCOTE IS CRAZY HOT AND SHOULD NOT BE READ IN PUBLIC!
I just wanted to get that out there first and foremost. Don't do that yourself.
This entire series is smutty greatness, but this one ticked all the right boxes in the voyeur in me. The book starts off innocently, but the story quickly takes off after Shawn walks in on Jude recording himself for his cam show. Up until this point, Shawn has been in denial about his bisexuality but watching Jude and getting off releases all those feelings he has long tried to bury.
My highlights:
-Shawn. Who doesn't love an antihero? Up until this point, Shawn has been a complete asshole in all the past books. In this book, we found out why. I think Jay Northcote did a marvelous job showing us a different side to him and making us root for him.
-Jude. I loved how uninhibited he was. He was who he was and would bend for no one.
-The sex. Holy. Freaken. Hell. Hands down one of the hottest books I've ever read. Ridiculous.
-Relationship growth. Yes, this story has a lot of steamy scenes, but there are also instances of them hanging out and getting to know each other thus avoiding the story just being porn. He showed readers vulnerable sides of both guys and made their feelings for each other believable.
-Narration: dual POV.
-Pace: It was fast and smooth.
-The supporting cast. I always enjoy series that are standalone books because you get to catch up with past characters. Here, we got to see how all the guys are doing.
-The end... lovely ♥
Can it be read as a standalone? Yes, but as mentioned above you will see past characters in this installment.
Final verdict: 4.5 Don't Miss Out On This One Stars! This one had it all:
Voyeurism ✔
Friends to lovers ✔
Anti-hero ✔
D/s elements (not too heavy though) ✔
Feel good vibes ✔
And a tinge of angst ✔
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
