Another "marvelous" addition to the Sassy Boyz stable, I absolutely loved the complicated relationship between Hop and Rafe. Theirs was one with so much history, so much potential for unrecoverable damage, so much need and want and hurt, but also one with infinite possibilities for hope and a future which would be real and everlasting.

There's the rest of the glorious dance troupe to catch up with and see that their relationships are all still going strong and there's another unique approach to the gender fluidity and androgynous nature of this team of young men which works perfectly for the setting.

Another hit for me.

I really, really enjoyed this book. I've read 3/4 books in this series and they keep getting better and better. Hop and Rafe had some serious chemistry. Definitely not a book to read in the public lol!

Wasn't the biggest fan of having too much drama but it was easy to overlook. I'm excited to see who's book Elisabeth writes next!

3.5* Not a bad book, but the Sassy Boyz don't seem to have the characters that the series did at the start.

It was nice to catch up with the SB gang, but the series isn't gripping me like it used to. Recent books have lacked the angst of Tam and Ansel's tales, and the co-leads haven't been the most believable of guys. This one for me, is only an OK-ish read, as I didn't really feel the supposed angst or connection between the leads, and I wasn't rooting for their HEA. At times, it felt as if all the guys needed to do was to slow down on the sex and (the, thankfully) lite-BDSM games and talk a little, really talk and not just talk during lite-BDSM sex play.

There was a little touch of 'I would do anything for you' to this on both guys' parts, but, again, if they'd talked and presented a united front, some of the drama in this could have been avoided. The inclusion of the Malcolm character and his evil-ish friend seemed a little superfluous, unless one or both suddenly decide they're gay and end up as future leads. If they do, both are anti-leads at this stage, so there'll need to be some serious grovelling and apologising.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Sorry I totally misread the blurb, I did not realize this was a m/m romance. Not my thing at all. I did not finish the book.
