My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Knox is a chaotic, struggling author whose joke ad—“Will trade clean toilets for dirty books”—accidentally attracts Rohan, a gorgeous reader willing to rescue him from his messy house, bad habits, and possibly haunted attic. Knox isn’t sure if Rohan is trouble or salvation, but he definitely can’t ignore how attractive he is.
Knox was an absolute whirlwind of chaos, and while that was clearly the point, it made writing him — and therefore reading him — really difficult for me. His life was such a mess that instead of feeling endearing or quirky, it often felt overwhelming. The haunted attic and possible gremlins had the potential to be funny, but the humour never quite landed for me, leaving those moments feeling more odd than entertaining. Rohan was a solid caretaker figure and clearly good for Knox in many ways, but their dynamic felt slightly off‑balance. At times, it gave the uncomfortable impression that Rohan was taking advantage of Knox’s vulnerability rather than meeting him as an equal. Overall, the story had charm, but the character dynamics and tone didn’t quite work for me. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.
