Review: Necessary Space by Kate Hawthorne 3 of 5 stars

Necessary Space (All in Good Time #1)









Necessary Space by Kate Hawthorne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hendrix has moved to California for work and while his too-young neighbour Miles is smug, arrogant and against his better judgement he wants him more than air. They are both on the same page and so decide there’s no harm in taking things between them someplace a little more private. Miles starts off wondering if he can tease his well-dressed and hick-thighed older neighbour into bed but he knows that he will demand more agreements out of him before he is anywhere close to being done with him. It's not long before things between them feel anything but casual but he makes Miles want to be a better man so he can prove that he is worthy of a partner like him even if he stumbles on the way there. What’s the only thing scarier than falling in love with the older man who’s determined not to trust you? Giving him the space to discover that he can.

In some ways, I enjoyed this story where everything started in a very physical and casual way, and in others, I found it irritating. I particularly liked that Miles fell in love with someone and that his days of mindless casual sex were over, but I did find his attachment to Greyson (who was an ex) bizarre. I did find the emotional connection between the two men largely missing which was a shame as great sex does not make for a lifelong relationship. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with lots of mature content and a BSDM-like D/s dynamic.
