Before you ask, no, I don't think that detail should be considered a spoiler. From reading a few reviews, I already knew that this book had a trans MC. SO MUCH.įrankly, it wasn't at all what I was expecting.
It's not all sunshine and roses at all.They bicker,fight and have so many obstacles in their way but if ever two men were meant to be together,these two were. It's,primarily,set in the North of England(where I'm from) and the humour and dialogue was spot on. This is the first transgender book I've read and I could totally empathize with Eli.The emotional struggles he went through,the prejudices he faced,the fear of people finding out and judging him.But Rob sees past everything and just sees the man Eli is.The relationship between them was so beautiful at times but could turn ugly as Eli battles with loving Rob so much but also wanting to not completely turn his back on his family.Īnyone who knows me will know that BDSM really isn't my thing but this book totally worked for me and I think one of the reasons was the strong relationship between these two men.It's not the stereotypical D/s thing as they both switch.They are both so intune with each other that they know what the other one wants in certain situations. Rob is, on face value, the stereotypical bad boy.Mean and Moody,covered in tattoos and has been in prison.In foster care from a young age him and his brother have had to grow up the hard way and he makes no apologies for it. I haven't come across this Author before and this one would probably have slipped under my radar if I hadn't read Sheziss's review I debated long and hard whether to put the main theme of the book in a spoiler as it's not mentioned in the blurb but it is mentioned in other reviews and I think it might determine whether or not you want to read it.Įli is transgender going through transition.His own family have been less than supportive thinking,initially,it was just a phase he was going through and then just ignoring his needs and feelings.His father is a cop and his mother a forensic scientist and to say they are judgmental is an understatement.
