Emotional but Lovely recommend so much what an amazing series. 💞💞

It's clear this series isn't for me. This whole book dragged, it was boring and i didn't really care for either character. I felt overall it just had this undercurrent of something juvenile about it. It didn't flow well and the Daddy/boy part was basically non existent. This is not a series i'll be continuing with.

I have to be honest, I've been trying to avoid angsty books because I'm in a very fluffy frame of mind. However, I really wanted to read Carter and Samuel's story and I'm so glad I did. This isn't an easy book to read but despite it dealing with some pretty heavy issues (body dysmorphia, eating disorders, depression) it's still very much a sweet story. Carter was struggling so much and my heart broke for him. He was trying so much to please everyone else and pushing down his own needs and feelings in the process. Samuel was a bright ray of sunshine but he too suffered from the same kind of fears about his body and the judgment of others. I adored how dedicated he was to Carter and that his support didn't come with strings or with the kind of support that pushes for a certain outcome. What I really loved about this book was that it talked about something that gets ignored a lot. Men face just as much discrimination based on weight and body shape as women but in different ways. I just loved that this book recognised that judgment and body shaming happens irrespective of gender. Add that it was also a ridiculously sweet story of two people finding their person and finding the support and love they needed and it just becomes amazing.

I received an ARC and this is my honest review.There were so many powerful moments in this book; both Carter and Samuel were strong characters in their own right and I thought they had great chemistry from the outset. There were times in the book where I could really feel Carter's struggle - when he had tough moments I completely felt like I was on that ride with him. Samuel was such a supportive character and I loved it when he became so protective of Carter, particularly when dealing with his family.For me, both characters were very well matched and it was great to see their relationship develop. One thing I will say is that there was a lot going on in this book, not in terms of action but rather with the characters themselves. Carter's issues with food were clearly a focal point. However, so many other things were thrown into the mix too, from depression to the daddy-boy dynamic to the mention of Samuel's issues with body image (that didn't get nearly as much time). In some cases, less is more and perhaps in this case sticking with the primary focus of Carter's struggles would have been enough. Despite this, I did enjoy this book and I would recommend it to others who like MM romance. Make sure to read the trigger warnings first though.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. Carter and Sam were both so sweet, sexy too, but oh so cute. A lot of topics covered in this story that often get swept under the rug, so massive kudos to Skyler for not only shining a light, but for bringing them to the forefront. Very positive messages from this book.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An absolutely beautiful story that had me in tears. Carter was such a sweetheart. My heart broke for him. Samuel was so lovely and perfect for him. I adored these characters and the way Samuel looked after Carter. A really emotional book which focused on eating disorders, fat shaming and some really horrible family behaviour.I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy.

these 2 were lovely together. a beautiful hurt/comfort story and probably my favourite in the series so far. definitely heed the trigger warnings for this book. even though it is handled amazing the story is built around carters body image issues so there no flip a few pages to skip it. i loved it!!

This is a sweet and hard hitting story but it’s emotional with what Carter has to deal with personally and the cutting comments he receives. Samuel is brilliant with how he helps Carter.I received an ARC of this book and have voluntarily left a review
