If I had to describe this in two words, these would be...HOT DAMN! No, seriously, Watching and Wanting is crazy hot, you guys.

Remember Shawn? The housemate that acted like an asshole sometimes? Well, you know what they say about those who protest too much. Turns out Shawn is bisexual, and although he knew this since his puberty, he refused to admit it. And now freshly dumped by his girlfriend, he's somewhat free to explore his bicurious side.

When Shawn bursts into Jude's (the other housemate) room, the last thing he expects is to find him jerking off in front of a camera! That's right, Jude is a cam boy. And ever since Shawn caught him in the act, he's left watching and wanting. More and more every day. And what better way to gain some experience (and money) than join Jude in his shows.

Jude performing solo is super hot. Jude performing with Shawn is scorching! Shawn and Jude together off camera...



This was pretty kinky, but not too much. Just the way I like it. Some bondage, a little bossing around, exhibitionism and voyeurism, of course, sprinkled with a lot of filthy talk.

I loved Jude something fierce. He's comfortable in his own skin, unapologetic, and confident. My only niggle is that he pushed Shawn a little too much in the end. Understandable, but still. But he apologizes in the end, so it's all cool.

Despite the sex, this is not PWP. We get to see Shawn's journey to self-acceptance, and the romantic build-up between the MCs.

I loved the cameo appearances of all characters. So nice to see them basking in their HEA. Although I really missed Josh and Rupert, my favorite couple ever.

High on the steam, low on the angst, Watching and Wanting was the perfect afternoon read. Highly recommended!
