He’s a mess. A disgruntled, angry mess, and holy shit, I’d love to pin his hands on either side of his head, throw a leg over him, and grind my cock against his right now.
Rent: Paid in Full was a highly enjoyable read with some great push and pull, and the dynamic between Miller and Ryan was delicious!
Miller and Ryan were opposites in almost every way, and I loved seeing them connecting and trying to figure each other out. I really liked the contrasts between them and how layered their characters were, they both had a lot more going on under the surface than what it might look like at first glance.
While the story had strong elements of coercion and dub-con, it was still a pretty light read, and I felt like the dual PoV was very important here, as it gave some insights to how Ryan was battling his feelings and curiosity. I loved how Ryan would sneak looks and check Miller out when he thought that Miller wasn’t paying attention, and he really wasn’t being all that subtle about his new-found attraction to his roommate…
I enjoyed the slow build between the characters, and I adored how affectionate Miller could be at times – it was obvious that he was falling for Ryan, and I liked how he got a little bit obsessed with him. These two had a lot of steamy and spicy moments, but there were also a lot more sweetness and tenderness to their story than I initially expected.
Rent: Paid in Full was a great start to a new series, and if you’re into hate to love relationships, with some forced proximity and opposites attract – this should definitely be on your TBR!
I feel his breath on my ear, hot and desperate. It compromises me irrevocably. It takes all the faculties needed to make good decisions and drops them into a blender.
