If you’re into feminization kink đŸ€ŒđŸ’« 
All the stars for the pillow princess.

This was a nice palate cleanser with a lot of sex and not much plot (this is not a complaint!) 

Around 70% I was good to go, the last 30% were a bit OTT drama imo.

Some tags: bi-awakening; feminization kink (dirty talk and lingerie); toys; phone sex; big guys (6”1 & 6”5); college; jock/gym trainer; pwp; 

Some TW:
abusive parents; internalized homophobia; cheating (not between MCs); self harm (short scene on page); disordered eating; references to death; references of alcohol & drug abuse (not by MCs)

Spoiler for the full story, so only click if you read it đŸ€

first of all, I appreciate AA in general for writing full length cest stories, it gives more depth to the angsty factor of being in that kind of relationship, what I honestly love! 
It was sometimes a bit OTT with the family drama, but I also thought it fit the narrative in some way 

I loved the “surprise the escort you booked is your brother” trope! 
The bribe was a surprise, I never would’ve guessed T would do it and  that  M would be totally fine-ish 😅 

I think I missed a bit more character descriptions of both MCs especially with them having so much sex, there would’ve time to describe some more body parts than just ass&cock đŸ€Ł 

I loved that women were not necessarily the “bad guys” here, even if Simone tried to push them later in the story.
it was a huge shock to find out your brothers are lovers and all, I also think it was good to see that she might be able to come around one day (even if it’s tough?) 

I hated Lionel with every fiber of my soul, I never would’ve guessed he had a PI and bribed Ms ex BF to leave him.

I loved how T stood up for himself and called L out for all his bullshit and being a shit father! 

 It’s funny how L is basically “the reason” his sons found each other hehehe #karma

My heart broke for the kids, when the mom died, I predicted something like that at some point in the story, but I’m sad it ended with death 😞

The sex was hot, I loved how M as the bigger brother was so needy đŸ€Œ

There’s no nice way to say it.
This was bland and boring.
In addition we get the classic plot devices 
-transphobia 
-deadnaming
-queerphobia
-hateful family members 
idk, I think as an avid queer romance reader, these topics are simply overused.
The plot wasn’t strong enough to let me ignore it.
2.5 is my baseline for neutral 
I reduced 0.25 for the listed points

Now that my brother has stopped telling me he can’t touch me and how wrong it is and blah blah blah, I want everything with him.

This was some delicious Prison B!tch Weekend read.

I loved Ryder and his motormouth! 
I loved Reaper and his need to protect!

I read the re-release of “Psychopath” which came with ~20k additional words 

This was definitely like Freshman, one of the Highlights of 2024! 
I’m so glad I finally started the Series đŸ€Œ

Last Courtesan of Olympus by Amanda Meuwissen

3.0

I was on the fence about this one, and that’s basically the reason why I waited so long to even start it. I got the audiobook just recently and I don’t know if that was something that added to my “it’s okay but not wow” factor.
While I thought some of the chapters were interesting, some fell flat.
The prose was also something I’m not used to, and it made it difficult for me too.
I think I’m also not quite satisfied with the ending (no spoilers here) 

It was a mixed bag for me.
