Review Seeing Red
Oh my goodness, "Seeing Red" completely swept me away! From the very first page, I was hooked by Greyson's hilarious, slightly chaotic arrival in Bliss Peak. That shower scene? Pure gold! It perfectly sets the tone for the whole book – a blend of heartwarming moments, laugh-out-loud humor, and seriously steamy romance. Shon has a remarkable knack for creating characters you instantly connect with, and Greyson, Noah, and True are no exception. Each one felt incredibly real, vulnerable, and utterly captivating.
What I loved most was the way their relationship unfolded. It wasn't a whirlwind romance; instead, it blossomed organically from a shared experience, a genuine friendship, and a mutual understanding of their individual needs and vulnerabilities. Watching their bond deepen, their trust grow, and their love ignite was truly heartwarming. The author doesn't shy away from exploring the complexities of a polyamorous relationship, portraying it with sensitivity and honesty, avoiding any unnecessary tropes or clichés. The intimate scenes are tastefully done, enhancing the emotional connection rather than overshadowing it.
Beyond the romance, the book tackles some truly profound themes. Greyson's journey of self-discovery and coming to terms with his sexuality is both poignant and inspiring. The story delicately handles his grief, his complicated relationship with his family, and his struggles with dyslexia and ADHD, offering realistic and relatable portrayals. The inclusion of these elements adds depth and richness to the narrative, making the characters even more endearing and their triumphs all the more rewarding.
The supporting characters are equally well-developed. While I wished for a little more interaction with Greyson's parents, the relationships he formed with Noah and True felt incredibly authentic and fulfilling. The connection between Greyson and Noah, in particular, was incredibly sweet and beautiful, a testament to the power of genuine affection and shared understanding. Their quiet moments of tenderness were some of my favorite parts of the book.
The writing itself is simply beautiful. Shon's prose is engaging, effortlessly weaving together humor, emotion, and sensuality. The pacing is perfect, keeping you invested in the characters’ lives and anticipating the next development in their relationship. The story is rich with details, creating a vivid and immersive world that you almost feel yourself a part of. “Seeing Red” is more than just a romance; it's a story about healing, self-acceptance, and finding love in unexpected places. It's a story that stays with you long after you’ve turned the final page. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys well-written MMF romance with a healthy dose of humor, heart, and plenty of spice. Honestly, I'm already eager to dive into more of Shon's work! This book deserves all the praise it's received.
