I read this book without reading the 2 previous books in the series. It was fine to read as a stand-alone and I wasn’t confused when characters from previous books were mentioned.
This was a well written “gay for you” plot line that flowed along nicely with good pacing. There was definitely chemistry between Reggie and Shohei and when “experimenting” together the heat level soared. They were both very likeable characters, both sweethearts, and I was invested in the journey to their HEA.
I found this to be a feel good read with minimal angst so it wasn’t overly emotional.
