The writing is insanely detailed and sucks you in with all the descriptors, it’s almost like you can taste Yugo’s cigarette smoke in the air and feel the steam off the shower spray at times. So this was just great! The first book was incredibly steamy which is a pre-requisite for most of my mm romance reads but it’s not just that! Prepare to be sucked into Yugo’s world! 💋

Ugh! This little novella is so much! So much angst, so much rage and emotion. The scenes in this book give its read a taste of how hawt these two are in such a twisted messed up way! I don’t want Kuon to have feelings for Yugo, but I do! And I want Yugo to treat Kuon as a person and not a toy that is trifled with.

They’re both so assertive in their stance with the other, and their moment together is so bittersweet! Especially knowing that this novel takes place somewhere in Chapter 16 of Book One! And we know how that ends! 😫Īcceptance of the Egotist is a must read! The book gives the reader that much more to the complexity that is Yugo-Kuon’s relationship as captor and captive. You want each to concede: Yugo to be a bit more gentle and forgiving and for Kuon to allow himself to explore his attraction to Yugo! But that just wouldn’t make sense in this twisted captivity story. The power exchange between Yugo and Kuon is so heart wrenching. This short novella was jam packed full of goodies regarding Yugo’s operation - searching for the treacherous leak in his organization, and Kuon’s emotional journey under captivity.
