The mm romance genre is no longer a novelty. Infact it is getting flooded with so many releases. This writer is one of the earlier batch of MM romance writers. And back in those early days I did like her work when the genre is still fresh. But years later, this writer has not changed her style at all. "A Younger Man" is just the same old tiring format. I know this will happen (after some honest reviews here) but I did like Noah from Grey Awakening. Her idea is good and it is reflected in the early part of the story, even if there are sex scenes driven by self fantisizing (an excuse just to have sex scenes but thankfully these scenes are short). Then the story really feels cheap after 39% once these guys confesses their attraction. Pages after pages of repetitive and boring sex scenes which is just tiring and a total waste of effort to get through. Not to mention that these guys who are supposedly not that familiar with gay sex are suddenly so sexually depraved and so called "skilled". I end up skipping as usual. And after skipping, sadly there is not much plot left. And good grief, what is that carrot scene for ?? Don't get me wrong. I am fine with sex scenes but they must be kept short and different (not an easy task) which is more impactful. Sadly this writer is too stubborn to change or maybe she is just too lazy to develop her plot further. I guess it is much easier to meet the requirment of a novel length book with pages after pages of repetitive sex scenes. Definitely ignoring this writer's works from now.
