Lilibet Bombshell's Reviews > Bully God: An Anthology

This review is for Sara Cate’s contribution to this anthology, “A Boy of Fire and Ash”, made possible by Sara and by being a member of her street team. Thanks, Sara!

Whooooo! She does it again! This short-story, a spin-off from her full-length novel “Burn For Me”, takes the same tropes from that book and flip-turns it into a sexy, sinful male-on-male story. We have a young, traumatized, sexy mechanic/college student/rugby player and an older English professor who are drawn together with sizzling chemistry and a solid plot, which is always a bonus when you’re working on a shorter number of pages.

It was nice to see Everly and Cullen again, and to see them after their relationship has settled after “Burn For Me”, especially since it puts Everly in a position to be a foil for Thomas. She’s unapologetic and unashamed of her love for Cullen and how he treats her, which both lends what Thomas and Everly are doing an impish air about it (look what we’re getting away with!), while somewhat lessening the forbidden aspect of it (the administration seems not to care too much about it, so who’s going to say anything about it?).

I was thrilled to read this, because reverse age-gap? Professor/student? Versatile? Mechanic? An SS Impala? Yes. Yes to all of this. Ticking my boxes. Some of my favorite things. And they are done well, the Sara Cate way.
