Review: Discovering Damon by Cora Rose & Nicole Dykes
SYNOPSIS:
I know most would probably describe me as a little uptight, unwilling to change, set in my ways…
But the truth is, I just like my life the way it is—simple and predictable. I have everything I need—good friends, family close by, and my automotive business that I’ve built from the ground up.
I’m proud of the life I’ve made in this quiet small town. Nothing needs to change.
At least, that’s what I believed up until the day Damon Deveraux, a lively and bold little whirlwind of a man in lip gloss and short shorts, saunters into my life and changes everything.
He captivates me with his bubbly charm and adorable clumsiness, and suddenly we’re fast friends, spending all our time together.
But I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m just so confused.
Because I’ve never fixated on another man’s pouty lips before.
I’ve never obsessed over the curve of another man’s body.
I’ve never desired the feel of another man curled up against me.
And when I discover Damon’s camboy site and—accidentally on purpose—subscribe to his live show, all bets are off.
Because for the first time, I’m realizing that maybe the sweet, sassy boy next door is everything I never knew I needed.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
I liked this story but I didn’t love it. I think out of the entire Behind the Camera Series, this book was the weakest one. Damon was a delight, he is louder than life and definitely has more to him than being a camboy. Tomas wasn’t a bad character either and while these two worked well together, they didn’t captivate me.
I like how Damon and Tomas met, their meet-cute was sweet and humorous, which quickly morphed into a budding friendship. These two are complete opposites and I think this is maybe where I don’t see how the friendship turned into a relationship. They literally have nothing in common, at all. I think they lacked chemistry, were the bedroom scenes sizzling, absolutely. But their relationship had no depth and Tomas’ bi-curiosity didn’t really have its own moment of awakening.
I think Tomas’ sexual identity felt rushed and a little on the backburner. Which is unfortunate because it should have been at the forefront of the story instead of Damon’s drama with his family. Overall, I think the story could have used some finessing with pacing and building a bigger emotional connection between Damon and Tomas. I think my favorite part of the story was seeing the side characters in this ragtag team and the hint that Jimbob will get his own story.
