This is a unique story. It was entertaining, but it was basically one long sex scene. Yes, there was a bit of a story behind it, but almost3.5 stars.

Don’t get me wrong, they were written quite well, but it was just too much. I'm the last person to be a prude when it comes to sex in books, but you can have too much of a good thing.
There’s also some dubious consent happening, but Arian does make it clear once Fernando’s head is cleared from the ‘siren song’ fog that he can walk away. Things kind of take a weird turn once shackles come into play, but Fernando doesn’t seem to mind. All he cares about is getting off. There was no wanting to walk away for Fernando. He just didn’t want his crewmembers to know how much he was wanting the merman, especially considering he was known as a bit of a ladies man.
I went back and forth on what to rate this book. While I did enjoy it, it was too much of a good thing throughout. I'm rounding it up from 3.5 to 4 for ratings purposes, but this is one of those times when Goodreads REALLY needs half points.

I'm not rating it because I don't usually read Yaoi and it wouldn't be fair for me to throw a rating out there when it's not my usual genre. And honestly, I don't think I could come up with a rating for this if I tried.
This book is nothing but sex.
I mean, lots and lots of sex.
Every page is sex.
Akimi and Endo, both Japanese, meet in Paris. After a whirlwind courtship (a week) they get married and move to Endo's home in Japan. Endo's father and sons also live with him. Poor Akimi just wants the family to love him. Sadly, they're rude and make a point in leaving the room when he walks in. He does everything imaginable to try to please them. He cooks nice meals. He cleans. He tries to engage them in conversation. Nothing works. When Endo goes on a business trip to America Akimi's at his wits end. He calls his husband on a video chat and cries his eyes out because his family doesn't love him. Endo assures his young hubby that heisloved by his family. After reassuring Akimi, Endo hangs up and calls his father and sons. It turns out that theydolove Akimi. They just love him too much and have a hard time keeping their hands (and other body parts) away from him. After being given the go-ahead by Endo, they prove to the young man exactly how much they love him.
I cringed a lot while reading this because holy hell, poor Akimi. He was taken by all three of the men in just about every way you can imagine at once. When it was over and he was hurting he was taken again. There was even double penetration a couple of times. I'd say poor guy but he got off on it. Boy, did he get off on it.
The story was entertaining. I laughed a lot and I know it probably wasn't meant to be funny. The quotes, though.:) I'll add some at the bottom of this review and just leave it at that. Also, make sure you check out other reviews that have listed even more quotes that I'm not adding to this review.
It needs to be noted that while the father, son, and grandsons don't necessary do anythingtoeach other, things are donewitheach other and body parts and fluids do touch. These are blood relatives so if you're squicked out by that don't read the book.
If you're into nothing but sex, sex, and more sex - a lot of it painful sex - you might enjoy this. If not, skip it. While I enjoyed the story well enough I admit to skimming a lot, especially toward the end. It was just way too much sex. I know, right?:)
It has a little twist at the end that added to the story somewhat. I think I saw that coming early on.
It was like a cum enema.
He buggered that well-lubricated, cum-filled butt with the unbridled enthusiasm of a horny teenager waiting to fuck his entire life.
He sounded like a cute little piggy being poked, "EHH! EEGH!! EEHHH!!
"Cum for us Mommy."
Daichi's golden eyes looked at him appraisingly, "Are you alright?" The boy's blush deepened, "Yes, I'm fine." "Even your butthole?" Dai asked with his signature bluntness.
Both cocks kept on spurting, again and again in a never-ending ejaculation until Akimi felt dizzy and the room swam before his eyes. Akimi went limp, moaning softly as he felt Dai gently withdraw from his mouth. Cum hung in ropes from his puffy, swollen lips. His tummy bulged, both his belly and guts pumped full of his family's spunk.
His pretty pink asslips pooched in a permanent, enticing pout.
Akimi's little baby hole was just wringing the blood out of Daichi's cock as he tried to press inside him and bust his cherry over and over again.
His mind was roiling. He couldn't believe- he wasn't going to- he was, he was going to! Akimi gasped in shock at the incestuous perversity of it.
I'm not sure what I just read. The blurb, while confusing, looks interesting enough. It was a freebie, so why not? From the very first page I was confI'm not sure what I just read. The blurb, while confusing, looks interesting enough. It was a freebie, so why not? From the very first page I was confused and that didn't change as I read. It actually got worse with each page. I kept going thinking things would start to make sense. They had to, right? Apparently not. I ended this more lost than I was when I started reading the book.
You ever read a book and want to talk to someone else who has read it to see if it's just you? That's me with this book. But then again, I won't be recommending it to anyone, so that's out.
Long ramble ahead if you click the spoiler link. Fair warning.
The MC (Robin) is in his mid-thirties and he still lives with his mother. Not a big deal because I know sometimes grown children come back home for whatever reason. This guy? When the book started I thought the author was describing a young teenager. The house phone rings in front of the mother and Robin freaks out. But the caller was someone he was hoping would call. Okay, then! He has an iPhone right in front of him but he doesn't use it to return the call. Again, because of his mother. Instead, he sneaks down to the dark and wet basement where he keeps his pay-as-you-go phone hidden and returns the call there.
I need to stress that this guy is in his mid-thirties and he's sneaking to the basement to make a phone call on a phone he had purchased to hide from his mother.
I swear that every time this guy mentioned or thought about "Mother" I was thinking about Norman Bates.
Moving on...
The guy he calls is Ed, a man he's been speaking with on and off for awhile online. That part wasn't really described much. How they knew each other I mean. Just something about sharing mutual fantasies on a dating site or something along those lines.
A few minutes into the call, Robin finally agrees to a date with Ed. Or should I say a "fuck party" because that's the way it's laid out. Can Robin sneak out away from Mother? He somehow finds a way.
Robin has only had a couple of girlfriends in his thirty-something years. He's never been with a guy in any way at all. That has to be stressed.
At Ed's house (a guy he's never met face-to-face) there's Ed and 2 other guys, Darren and Jamal.
Before I go any further, I have to point something out about Ed and his friends. They're all black and Robin is white. Why does this matter, you ask? Because the author made a point in stressing this again and again and again.
Anyway, between the 4 guys, they share wine, champagne, beer, smoke crack, pass around a joint and they do lines of cocaine. In the midst of all that shy Robin stops being so shy. Apparently his fantasies include dressing in women's clothing and lingerie. That's something I usually like, but in this case it seemed... dirty. Once Robin started changing in and out of the women's outfits (set out for him by Ed... along with Nair and razors so Robin could remove that pesky hair before putting on women's lingerie) he went from being an innocent (to man love) guy to acting like someone full of experience on anything and everything related to gay sex.
They all take their turn with Robin and apparently he picks up on things quick because he gives a damn good blow job or three.;)
All that was weird, but the oddest part of the story, and what left me beyond confused, was when Ed's grown daughter showed up. Not one thing about the daughter made sense to me... none of it. What was the point of her even showing up? The author played it like she and the formerly shy Robin would be hooking up, but who knows? It ended and I was left wondering what the hell I had just read.
Overall, a very odd story about a very odd character. I hate doing 1 star ratings for any book, but I can't rate this one any higher. Being confused when I finish a book isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes authors leave you to use your imagination in regards to certain details. That's fine. In this case, so much was thrown together and so much was left out that there was no making any sense of it once I got to the end....more
I'm not sure what the hell I just read. Sure, the title should've been my first clue. Just so you know, there's an actual reason behind that title. II'm not sure what the hell I just read. Sure, the title should've been my first clue. Just so you know, there's an actual reason behind that title. I dare you to read it to find out what that reason is. *grin*
I'll just throw out a few quotes and leave it at that -
"Engelbert Humperdinck was the first man to walk on the moon, who was the second?"
Huh?
He penetrated my anal cavity in one massive thrust. Most other guys do it tentatively at first, slowly easing their way into the tight crevice of my bum.
I nearly choked on the girth of the thing, his cock was massive. But I got the job done and for my effort, I was given squirts from his mighty member. Squirts I must say I swallowed like a pro. In my mind, I dubbed it his stick of truth. Almost like Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth.
There are a couple of quotes that I'm purposely not adding because, well, they're gross and not sexy in any way. There are some things I really didn't need to know. Just sayin'.
I'm not rating this because I honestly don't know what to think about it. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. I guess I'm neutral.:)...more
