Mason and Bowie are a wonderful couple. They are very different from one another and meet in such a random way, but their connection is instantaneous. I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. Bowie and Mason go on quite a journey together and that includes many ups and downs. They prove to one another their loyalty by remaining true to one another.

Overall Shutter Bug is an enjoyable story that I could not get enough of and look forward to seeing more from characters in this world.

*** I reviewed a complimentary copy of this story.***

Oh my heart!

I found this book before it came out in the suggested part of Kindle and was really excited to read it but forgot to write it down to come back to once it released so I forgot about it. I stumbled upon it again almost a month after its release lol
this book was something extremely new to me i’ve never read a MM romance before but I really loved this one.
The only thing I struggled with was imagining what the characters looked like because there is no art of the characters at all i even looked at the authors insta to try to find something but nothing.
So for majority of the book I imagined Bowie as like an emo Roderick from diary of a whimpy kid type of guy just more chic and expensive looking.
Mason unfortunately remained faceless because i couldn’t come up with anything.

Though once i got past that i really enjoyed this book, initially i did put it off because it was just soooo long. But i powered through it and was glad i did. This book is unfortunately 95% smut because the whole premise is “gay awakening “ (i think) so while it was understandable it was just a little too much sex for me personally.

I really did love seeing the characters together though and the scenes we did get outside of the bedroom were so clumpy and sweet. I was genuinely giggling through most of their dialogue. It was great.

My ONE and only issue with this book as a whole was I felt like Bowie did not grovel enough at all. He spent the entire book just picking a straws trying to find a way to compare mason to calvin and he literally jumped on the first chance he got to believe he was like him. He essentially had sex with mason knowing he was angry and going to end things because of it, said he was worse than his ex and kicked him out all in the same breath no further explanation or response. I was so upset for mason because he spent the whole book trying to prove himself.
Only for Mason to take Bowie back the second the truth comes out, I needed MORE especially since this isn’t the first instance this happens.
I just need more grovel and more angst, I felt like Bowie needed to beg for Mason for a bit not the other way around.
Especially since Bowie spends about 75% of the book treating Mason how Calvin treated him.

Besides that though this was a good book. if I had about 15 less sex chapter 50% more angst, it would have been amazing.

Friends if you haven’t had the opportunity to read anything by Vari Scott see this as your sign.
I adore Mason and Bowie. They have such a beautiful love story. They both struggle with insecurities and self doubt but they work through it together. You can feel their emotions coming off the pages.
Vari can definitely write a sexy scene.

Hands down my favorite MM romance of all time. I just can't get over much I loved Bowie and Mason. They were absolute perfection and I couldn't get enough of them.

I was so intrigued by Bowie when reading Teddy's story (Grease Monkey) and was SO excited when I learned that his book was next. It was worth the wait my friends. I loved that Bowie knew who he was and apologized to no one about it. And while Mason and Bowie started off rocky, it was truly mesmerizing to watch them fall for each other.

And when the spice hit? Just go get you a fan and get ready. I was basically sweating at how hot they were. The story, the men, the spice...it was all the perfect combination. I will protect them at all costs.

And one of my favorite things about this series is you get a little bit of everything. It's just...perfect.

Mason is such a guileless character. He is the sweetest billionaire ever. He is exactly what Bowie who is jaded after being spurned by love needs. This two are constantly thrown together making it impossible to fight their budding attraction. I really did love both of these guys even while being so frustrated by Bowie. This is a cute read that I recommend.

This book is one that puts you in a happy place. To see the sparks of Mason & Bowies is indescribable. Even though they are total opposites they find their way. You will not be disappointed in this book as it is spicey, romantic and at times frustrating. I love when one partner has to teach another partner as it just makes the connection stronger. A must read for anyone who love MM.

Absolutely loved this book. Such a quick and fun read. Bowie and Mason are such fun characters. I enjoyed the chapters being alternating perspectives.
