Greg is 31 and Chris is younger but we don't learn his age in this volume.

Read these book years ago on Wattpad, maybe in 2018? This was one of the first MM books I ever read, I wanted to go back and see if it still held up to my memory. Volume 1 is books 1 (Chris POV) / 2 (Greg POV). These books are a great example of how sites like AO3 and Wattpad can have some pretty spectacular content (as if loads of readers didn’t already know that…🙄)

In this first volume it never says what Chris does! He does corporate lectures...but about what and why?!

This book is literally just relationship/character development and spice. The whole book focuses on Chris and Greg’s relationship. Tbh I don’t hate it. It’s interesting knowing what’s coming down the pipe (there are loads of these books - 8 two part books) and it not being told to the reader yet. 

At 76% - more and more of this series is coming back to me. Because the plot is literally about Chris and Greg’s relationship, spice is woven in and even Greg having k!nky seggs with someone else furthers the story. The introduction of Alex to the story is okay, feels a little abrupt but I think that’s a Greg thing, not the mechanics of the book. It definitely reads like there will be drama or something that keeps this a long term duo and does not have a full time poly arc. 

There is some serious DubCon - doctor patient hanky panky. There is also some miscommunication which in a BDSM relationship seems both tough and dangerous.

**While I hate cliffhangers I was left wanting more. It’s pretty annoying I have a few other things to read before moving on to Vol. 2.
