JK Charles but without the blood

As a big fan of JK Charles, I was delighted to come across Cat Sebastian. Gay period drama with a mystery, yes! I was delighted by the angsty but litterally non-bloody mystery of this book.
The narration was adequate for the story.

If you love angsty, character driven romance with very hot man on man action, this is the romance for you!
The angsty non communicating was frustrating. I wanted to beat them up a few times for not talking it out, but I got the emotions behind their silence. And the ending was satisfying even if it was a quite convinient tying of all the loose ends!
Narration was good and fitted the story.

This is how I imagine that real magic works, how real witches do it. Not spectacular, no show, just quiet shifting of energies, in the shadow, changing that which it touches. The writing is superb as is the narration! If I could give more stars, I would!
Lars uses his magic to help heal his deathly sick new lover Rhys. So if that is too heavy for you, don't read. Personally, I find the writer handles the heavy themes wonderfully and profoundly.

If you like sexy stories with no angst and not a lot of plot, these are for you. You get 6 stories for 1 credit! For me personally, it was a struggle to get through. I tried, but the story line just couldn't keep me focussed. I got through to book 4, then I quit.
The narrator did a great job of the sexy scènes and giving every character a distinct voice.

The story is sweet. A rocket science student and very Shy guy learns the ropes of flirting from the oblivious hot older brother of his best friend. Pax and Ely promise a no relationships deal, which ofcourse leads to a lot of hot sex and feelings. The execution of this plot is great. The nicknames are sweet, the friends they both have are honest. I do hope Theo gets his own story soon.
Zachary Zaba does a breath less kind of narration, which is fantastic when they get intimate. But when there's a lot of information, it confuses me sometimes, as a non Native English speaker. He just speaks too quickly for me sometimes. Luckily there's a back-button.

BDSM in Omegaverse

Performance

Story

Reviewed: 12-19-19

This is a bdsm story set in Omegaverse with loads and loads of sex. It left me feeling ambivalent. On the one hand there's so much consent and checks for consent. Which is rare in Omegaverse! I really like that. On the other hand, sometimes the dom leaves the sub doubting what his orders are, which I have a problem with.
There could have been more plot, but the focus lay on the sex. Piper Scott does a good job navigating strong and broken for the omega, although some of the times I would have expected a little more resistance. He gave in quite easily for someone who has been so closed off for so long. And I wondered about their families and backstory a bit. But that is ok for this kind of porny book.
Narration by Michael Pauley is brilliant and on point!

The misunderstandings lasted a bit too long for my taste, but was resolved by the shy MC getting angry, which was allright.
Usually I love Matthew Lloyd Davis' narration, but he didn't seem as sharp and into the story as usual. At least not all the time. At the end there he was as fine as always.

I wondered what spin the author would give this trope. I like this realistic spin. The doubts the MC's have. The way they communicate. The respect and care and love they show. And how things don't go according to plan untill they do.
The narrators did a great job showing the emotions and giving some extra spice to an already great story.
Am sure going to reread!

Great story with two strong MC's. Fantastic performance by two great narrators, both doing a good british accent too!
Believable angst and great friendships too.

What a monotone performance. It was hard to really listen to the story, which had plenty of big emotional moments, when read in that tone. Pity.
Story was veering wildly between plot and MxM porn. Author is great at worldbuilding. I bet this story feels better when I read it on paper.
