Q*Pid

This one flew too close to the sun. Up until 62% in, I really thought I'd rate this 5 stars. The writing was exquisite. And then the MCs went on the trip. Downhill from there.

The slow burn until then was epic. You know how you can feel them falling in love? Slowly. Given the GFY, this really really worked. The foundation was laid. And then everything spiraled.

Suddenly things were moving too fast. Feelings were declared out of the blue. Let me tell you, we were very deep inside these men's thoughts. Drew hadn't thought these things to himself by the time he said them out loud to Fox. I'd understand if it was a singular POV. But dual POV? It was implausible that we'd be as shocked as Fox to hear of this.

Also, sweet adorable Mrs. Schwartzmann rapidly devolved into Yoda.

The one quote I could remember.

“What you get up to in the bedroom is your deal, though I probably will insist on details at some point because one, I'm curious, and two, you and he are the hottest guys I know, and the thought of you going at it, well....” Chad's gaze wandered off into some homoerotic middle distance.

Um.

Anyway. In summary. I wish the author had kept the earlier pace from the start.
