This book was honestly one of the hardest books to rate since a long while, because i have so many good and bad things to say about this book. 

Before we dive deeper into it, i will tell you in advance, do read the trigger warnings of this book! This review is my honest review on how my experience was reading this!

Okay lets dive into the good things first, because there are good things about this book and i honestly think there is potentional in this book if the bad things were not that severe! The book is about two men, and the servant has loved his boss for 20 years! The chemistry and tension is feelable while reading, its a slow burn and it takes a while before one gives in into the other with not just body but full mind too! It was not just from one day to another but 20 years of build up tension and chemistry, certain morals and promises and views that were learned and not!

The things that really irritated me which made it not a 4 stars for me was the way this book was written. The sentence building and descriptions. The who said what, and who thought what was written very messy. Half of what i read i have no idea who said it or who thought it! Besides that it really irritated me that descriptions were used like "asked the older of the two men" and "after the blue-eyes man nodded again" it made reading it a lot more confusing

But overal the book has potential, its a good book and it would have been even better if the writing way wasn't as confusing which made it for me putting it off of the reading and made it slower to read
