I can’t, I just can’t. I’m sure this book delivers exactly what it promised but it’s really not alright with me.My heart breaks for Ryan and I can’t stand to see him humiliated. He’s dirt poor, he has anxiety -worsened by the fact that he needs money- and he’s totally antisocial and awkward. I can’t stand watching Miller humiliating him, tantalizing him with money to make him get on his knees and suck him or to have sex with him. And he’s doing it in a cold humiliating way too. On top of that we are given the impression that Ryan thinks himself as straight. That’s sexual abuse in my books, sexual coercion. Taking advantage of a vulnerable person in order to abuse him sexually . And maybe I’d have been ok with other type of coercion, you know? A blackmail or I don’t know, some other form of fictional kinky dub-con but NOT when one needs money to eat, to survive , when he gets panic attacks that he will be buried in depth. How can THAT transform into a romance? How can a love story be born from that humiliation. I know , I know a lot of ppl will eat this cuz you know..fiction, smutty , hot etc , I just can’t, it bothered me for some reason. Also, the fact that apparently Ryan fell in love with Miller’s dick at first taste is sooo eye-rolling. That first BJ is cringe and double problematic because Ryan was also drunk. Sorry to all my Gr friends here who will love this 🫣 I know I’m a party pooper.
