Maybe you'll like this book, but I'm sad to admit that even speeding up my audiobook at 3.5x didn't make this story feel less cumbersome to get through. Here's why it didn't work for me:

Logan and Tate's romance was not believable. These two start catching feelings without even getting to truly know one another. They're just fucking left right and centre and somehow feelings come about; was not very convincing for me personally.

Logan was hard to root for as a love interest. He's so goddamn pushy with Tate—and this is coming from someone who lets a lot slide in fictional romance stories given that the end result is satisfying. All the pushing and pulling became repetitive and predictable. Logan would push, Tate would hesitate, Logan would push further, Tate would reluctantly succumb, miscommunication, repeat. Speaking of which:

Unconvincing miscommunication was a blight of this book. I actually don't hate miscommunication at all. Failure to communicate properly is a very human trait and I find it believable in books, as long as it isn't done in excess. And ‘excess' sums up the amount of miscommunication in this book. It didn't even feel like decent miscommunication because Logan and Tate kept being passive aggressive over things that a single sentence of clarification could have fixed—but my bad, Logan's ego is simply too inflated to admit flaws.

Too much sex—gasps—that is repetitive and unimaginative.

Yes this book was full of spice, but I find these characters mildly toxic.

Logan is bisexual, and has his sight set on the straight bartender Tate.
Tate flirts with all the customers, but they both take it a step further. Logan is very suggestive and straight forward and says he wants Tate. Tate declines. But Logan keeps pursuing even after Tate said no a couple times.

This entire book is within a span of 3 weeks or something?

Logan is persistent, and he and Tate take things kind of slow sexually. Logan is aware of the inexperience so there is a lot of kissing and dirty talk and hand/mouth things. Which I enjoyed a lotttttt. Loved the dirty talk on both.

Logan was pushy for Tate to say yes. Tate kind of didn't resist. Tate wanted to keep the relationship “secret” but then if someone touched or flirted with Logan he got jealous. Logan was mad that Tate wanted to keep things secret but to be fair, Tate was straight until two weeks ago so naturally it'll take time for him to process and handle coming out. And Logan was a player before so yes it makes sense he wanted to see if it was real before he came out.

This ended on a cliffhanger but is definitely not a series that is bingeable for me. I plan to follow the authors universe timeline from her site to read what is intended to go next.

All that to say, they were toxic but I liked it a lot
