Here’s the thing: I really like Mark as a character. I have so much respect for how much he’s grown in the series. It’s so sweet to see how his dads have influenced him and how he’s better than them. I have no choice but to love him even if I’m not sold on his foot fetish. 

But Griffin is so fucking annoying that it’s like pulling teeth. No, annoying suggests there’s anything there. He’s fucking boring. Mark deserves better than this piece of fluff. 

I’m also just not terribly interested in this trope? I came to the series for dark romance with mafia stuff and here everything fun comes to a complete standstill while we do a… virgin plot. I don’t get it. You can skip this entire book and miss nothing from the series and I find that to be a damn shame.
