Loser Takes All by Kora Knight

slow-paced

4.0

This is hard for me to rate. The set up was a bit too unrealistic, but I think the story is very good at the sex part except a few weird dirty talk moments (who the hell says the word "anus" when they're trying to be sexy?) and it felt very unique amongst all the generic and repetitive sex scenes usually found in MM romance because it went on for so long and into so much detail, so it didn't feel formulaic or like the author was following a checklist. I liked how Scott gets progressively closer with his whole body to Tad throughout the scene and that makes things slightly more intimate towards the end. It sets up a more personal future connection between the MCs nicely.

However, there's not enough depth to the story or personality from the narrator to wow me properly. I decided on a higher rating because this is a novella about a sex encounter, and in that aspect I feel like it really delivers.
