Just a Bit Wrong by Alessandra Hazard

Zach Hardaway is one of the best physiotherapists in Europe. Tristan DuVal is a young soccer star with a groin injury. They despise each other from the moment they meet. As far as Zach is concerned, Tristan is a rich, spoiled brat who is too used to getting his own way. As far as Tristan is concerned, Zach is a bossy, presumptuous jerk. Tristan hates Zach. He does. The problem is, he also wants to shove Zach against the nearest wall and climb him like a tree.

Number 4 in the series. Gabe's brother, Tristan is also a top football player at the same club, but he's gay (although hiding it because of his career). Jared's friend Zach is the straight physio assigned to help him, but Tristan is having none of it. He's the enfant terrible of the football club who treats Gabe and his poor assistant like dirt. Zach on the other hand has an open relationship with his fiancé and no intention of putting up with Tristan's nonsense. In the course of the physio they discover that Tristan enjoys being spanked and Zach enjoys spanking him, which was very hot. I probably would have liked more spanking! Zach develops a kind of obsession which he is advised to ‘get out of system' by actually having sex with Tristan which is a rather bad idea. Unethical physio and poor advice aside, I enjoyed it, particularly the introduction of Zach's family. And Tristan does grow as a person.

my brain is mush and i can't form coherent thoughts. all i can say is this was angsty and delicious and packed to the brim with tension so high you could slice a knife through it. RTC.

There were quite a few times where I had the urge to whisper ‘wtf?!' at this book, wishing to know if this was supposed to be funny. If it was, it failed to make me laugh. Too bad this book wasn't in a subcategory that said ‘how not to write m/m stories', or my rating might have been better. But seriously, wtf?

I was trying to sound like a gym teacher rather than like a horny flight attendant thrilled to see this stud's meat and two vegs in action.

The turbulence shook us in a way that only reminded me of a riding brown-skinned goateed stud I'd met on a layover in Rio de Janeiro, one whose dick was like an upward-pointing jackhammer.

And the whole book goes on like this. You'd think our protagonist had viagra for breakfast.
There's nothing that doesn't remind him of fucking someone or getting fucked by someone.

Phrases like ‘still sucking on his cock with all my vacuum might', made me desperately search the amazon summry for a hint I might have missed, that this is a comedy. Nope, it's supposed to be ‘hot man-on-man action'. Sorry, do I have the wrong book? I really can't find anything hot in this writing style. There were just too many weird phrasings.

This was thankfully a freebie, so I don't have to lie awake at night whispering ‘what have I bought, wtf was that?!' into my pillow.
