Prized Possession

How have I read, and re-read this series more times than I've let GR know or than I'd like to acknowledge to myself and not done a review? Am I nuts? Well lets see if I can remedy that.First of all this series of novellas should definitely be read in order as they are in fact they are progression of a relationship. And what a scorching, brotastic, & sweet read it is. The occasion for this umpteenth re-read is the release of the audio edition, done by [a:Michael Pauley 1302332 Michael Pauley https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png]. IMO with each installment the narrator has gotten better and better at who the characters are and the emotions that drive them.Can I say once again how much I love Tad? He's such an adorable dork, as per Scott, and I love being in his head. Going on this journey of self-discovery with him, how, even though it may freak him out he's willing to confront what he always thought true of himself and recalibrate. But mostly I love how he's utterly a goner for Scott even if he can't say out loud yet:“But as bad as he wanted to blow his top, he didn't want this experience to end. This coveted connection. Never had he felt so close to the guy. So inwardly, utterly tethered. And while not long ago, that would've freaked him out, had him scrambling for the door, now he found himself fighting tooth and nail just to make it last.”Tad is coming to terms with what his continual encounters with Scott meanSPOILER He's gay! or at the very least bi. And guess what? He's okay with it, or more like loving it. I won't say too much, but rest assured that [a:Kora Knight 8529860 Kora Knight https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1514682199p2/8529860.jpg]'s brand of scorching HOT & SWEET is in full force. Extra points for the glimpse of a new frenemies couple. Eyeing Kai & Breck
