On a Different Mission (Rock U #1): A Rockstar Bi-Awakening MM Romance by Christie Gordon
4.0
Well, I like this author. I've been reviewing her books for a while now, because one of the things I like most about her is how she describes the changes in terms of gender o sexuality, how each character goes through them and learns to accept themselves. Each book is an example of this.
Brandon admits to himself as bisexual, although so far, he has only dated women including a girlfriend with whom he has experimented quite a bit, but he never met a man who attracted him enough to act on his bisexuality, until he sees Devin. And from that very moment, he knows that he has to do everything possible to meet and win him over.
Devin doesn't have it easy. He has known since he was a teenager that he is queer, but due to his religious upbringing he keeps it hidden until he starts college. And even though it's been a couple of years, he still hasn't had any sexual experience, but he has been trying to learn about himself. And so it is that at the same time that he meets Brandon, and thanks to the acceptance and courage that he gives him, Devin definitely begins to move further and further away from the person of him as Mormon, embracing his gender fluidity. And it's an awesome journey and I think this is one of the most difficult to understand or explain and the author does it greatly.
The story is entertaining, has its share of drama, its hot moments, and finally its HEA.
As always, the author surrounds the MCs with great secondary characters, and this is how we find some of her previous books, as well as new ones.
One thing I would like to point out, and I think I have already said it in my previous reviews, and this is why I am not giving it five stars, is that I think it lacks a bit of fluidity in her writing style. The characters go from talking or doing one thing to another a bit abruptly, and although sometimes that happens, other times a smoother transition is necessary, especially during intimate scenes or, for example, if they are talking about a difficult situation that they are going through. I think that if this was achieved, her books would go from being very good to great.
That being said, I am going to continue reading her and, if possible, reviewing her, because as I said before, she is an author that I really like.
I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
