This is not a good book. Where do I begin? Let's just start listing problems, shall we? This may contain spoilers, but I don't care enough to tag them.It's like a shitty m/f romance novel except with two guys. Everything is so over the top. Damon is “well over six foot five” and has a 10-inch cock. 10 inches y'all! He's very proud of it too. “And I plan on putting my ten inches inside your virgin ass and filling you until you beg me to come.” I don't know about you, but my virgin ass would run screaming from a 10-inch cock. That's longer than my forearm! Thanks, but no thanks.So, on to the story. Early on, there's a point where Tanner is about to be raped by a couple of guys at a different club who are apparently well known for drugging and raping other men. Damon's friend LC knows this, but as another reader pointed out, he lets Damon finish eating his pasta before mentioning it. So Damon goes to rescue Tanner from these rapists, and his solution is to put on a show for them with Tanner because, well, he's gotta give them something to satisfy them! Then they just leave the men to their own devices; no need to, I don't know, report them to the police or do anything to prevent them from continuing to rape other guys, because that's just what they do. Well, okay then.The writing is sloppy. There's one scene where Damon takes off his own shirt and jeans, Tanner drags Damon's naked body to his, then grinds against him, the friction against Damon's jeans nearly undoing him. Wait, what?? Damon's supposed to be naked! So maybe it's a typo and it was Tanner's jeans? Except then Damon's hand slides down Tanner's crack and he's naked as well. Ok so no one's wearing jeans? Or is Damon suddenly wearing them? I'm so busy trying to figure out where the jeans went that I don't even care about the sex.There is little to no character development. I still don't feel like I know who these guys are. Their train of thought is completely disjointed and illogical. It's like the author wanted to mention several feelings, memories, and opinions, but just threw them all together without trying to make any sense of them.The plot isn't good enough to distract from these other problems. It's (get this) about a rapist who's attacking guys outside Damon and LC's club. Ohhh, so this rapist is a problem and must be stopped! I see.The final straw for me was Damon incessantly calling Tanner boy. He also calls him sweet boy and (barf) baby boy. Just, no. The word was used 177 times in this book. After [b:An Unlocked Heart 18076442 An Unlocked Heart (Collars and Cuffs, #1) K.C. Wells https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1371328887s/18076442.jpg 25381494], I seriously cannot take any more of that pet name, especially when combined with sweet or baby.So yeah, I gave up at 70%, and it took a lot of effort to make it that far.
