“Okay, you’re Black and neurotypical, I’m white and neurodivergent, but we’re both homosexual, which I think is the most important commonality.”

I really like this book. I’ve read/listened to it a handful of times by now. It’s got diverse characters, great communication, and it’s full of understanding and a willingness to learn and just be unquestionably supportive.

Ezra is autistic, and although my knowledge about neurodivergency isn’t what I would call vast, it feels like the book does it justice and is a good representation. Ezra is multifaceted: super smart, funny, sexy, emotional and nonjudgmental.

Ezra had been a little self-conscious the first time Roman licked him down there, but he figured if the man could stand to eat bleu cheese, he could also stand to eat out his pleasure hole.

All of the different names for genitalia and other sexy stuff is hilarious at times, but I also like how it just becomes the new normal while reading it because those are the terms Ezra is comfortable with.

Roman and Ezra just seem to have so much fun together and their love is believable. Makes it fun to read their love story.

“You’re mine now. And you’re going to be a good boy and take every inch of me, aren’t you?” “Yes, sir. Every centimeter,” Ezra whispered because, hello, the metric system.

“I knew you could do it, cutie,” Roman said softly and brushed his nose against Ezra’s hair. Ezra didn’t know if Roman actually thought he was cute or if he was only teasing, but he liked that he had his own special nickname. And something he didn’t tell Roman but kept very quietly to himself was that he’d never been chosen to be on a team before; he was always one of the leftover kids that the coaches split at the end, like remainders in long division. But Roman had picked him first.

“How do you feel about me being Black?” Ezra’s eyes slid from Roman’s face to his arm, then back. “More of a dark brown.” Roman waited for him to catch on; he didn’t have to wait long. “Oh, do you mean the social construct of Black, which includes African-Americans and several other ethnicities that are all lumped together somewhat haphazardly?” “Yes, that.” “Okay. Yes, I noticed that about you. It would be hard not to, as skin is the largest organ of the human body.”

“Roman, I don’t need anything at all. I just want you to pleasure me sexually.” “Say that again.” Ezra rolled his eyes. Roman loved it when he talked dirty. Well, he could get very dirty indeed. “I want your long dong inside my poop chute.” “Ezra, don’t call it that.” Roman laughed so hard that it made Ezra giggle as well. “What should I call it then?” “Literally anything else.
