Darling Brat by Kate Steele
Sequel of Thaw in Winter, it follows Mark and Joe's relationship after their return from the mountain cottage of Mark.Mark is slowly coming out with all his friend and also with his family. Unfortunately Mark's parents seems to not accept their son: not cause he is gay, but as a son point. They are aloof and cold and Mark resents a lot this situation. And also it causes him to be a bit restrained in express his feelings to whom he loves.
But Joe has a surprise and also a proposition: he has an empty lot in a beautiful zone of the city and he wants for Mark to design their future home together. At first Mark is happy and readily accept the proposition, but then an unremarkable accident brings up the bratty behaviour in Mark and Joe need to teach to his man to be a little less brat; not too much thought, cause Joe loves his darling brat.
The story is not very long, less than 60 pages, but it's very sweet. There is a lot of funny interaction between Mark and Joe, and also a classical scene in Knight in Shining Armour style, that I love so much, being the romantic I'm.
The relationship between Joe and Mark is the classic alpha and omega one, with a pushy bottom omega plays by Mark, who tries to prove that he is not a cute and pretty thing, but that he has a big personality inside his tiny body... it's like seeing that pet dogs when they bark to a big dog.
Nice reading, to rest and relax.
