⭐️ 4.75/5 | 🌶️ 4/5
I’m having so much fun discovering Alex Pendragon’s voice and narrative style. The last book I read by him was a romance-free erotica, so I was curious to see how he would handle a story where emotions take center stage. Xander Shows Me My Prostate struck a fantastic balance between his unmistakably erotic flair and a genuine love story. What I appreciated most is that, even within a romance framework, nothing felt conventional. The result was refreshing and surprisingly tender.
Luka and Xander’s journey is rooted in sexual exploration and self-discovery, pairing an experienced partner with someone navigating many firsts. That contrast fuels the entire dynamic.
I especially loved living inside Luka’s head throughout the novel. He’s soft, endearing, a little naïve, and deeply human. After coming from Lincoln’s POV in Riley’s Basement (yes, I’m still thinking about him), the shift was striking. Luka’s vulnerability made me want to wrap him up and help him build confidence. Several moments where his self-doubt surfaced genuinely tugged at my heart.
It’s always impressive when an author makes me fall hard for a character without giving me their POV — and Xander absolutely stole the show. He was incredible with Luka, endlessly attentive, generous with praise, and completely undone by him. Watching how deeply Luka occupied his thoughts was beautiful.
Together, they were both achingly sweet and next-level steamy. Alex Pendragon truly delivers when it comes to spice — no holding back.
I loved almost everything about this book: the unapologetic heat, but also the quieter scenes where Luka and Xander simply talked and connected. Those moments grounded the story and made the intimacy hit even harder.
There were a few instances where certain ideas felt slightly repetitive, but nothing that diminished my enjoyment.
Special mention goes to Dan, Luka’s best friend. He reminded me a lot of Lincoln from Riley’s Basement — perpetually horny and unapologetically obsessed with sex. I’m already excited for his book; it promises to be one hell of a ride. 😆 Very likely my next Alex Pendragon read.
