Rating: 3/5
Another solid entry to the ever expanding SVU universe! I love a spin off and this one has cameos galore; it is a standalone but there are a couple of mild spoilers for some of the other books in the series.
I have had my eye of Bennett for a while and I have enjoyed seeing him grow from moody teen, to protective brother to confident young man who is proud in his own skin. I took a minute to warm up to Easton; I appreciated how hard his home life had been but I struggled a little with how he resented Bennett for pacing wise. Easton had a lot to work through before he could open himself up to any kind of relationship and although its not plain sailing, I was hoping for a little bit more grovelling for what he put Bennett through. I thought the lavender relationship was really interesting; Easton's relationship with Taylor and how supportive he was of her was definitely one of my highlights.
The forced proximity was the perfect nudge they both needed. I enjoyed the pettier side of the prank wars which helped balance out the angst and the toothbrush scene gave me that scene from Bring It On vibes except with a lot more innuendo! I'm also hoping Roland gets his HEA as he seemed like a really sweet guy.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
