So, taking in considerating that I'm already disliking Pain Slut for ~reasons~ AND that I can't translate/process pain play in prose mode in my mind, would it be possible for me to skip that book and go from Manties in a Twist to 24/7? Like, without missing out on anything that would be considered important to the overall enjoyment of the series? FWIW, I'm NOT a fan of hatereading (having done so only when it relates to the two challenges I've been doing) because I hate pushing myself to read something I'm getting 0 enjoyment from.

I'm less intrigued with 24/7 than I am with Manties in a Twist (there's legit A LOT about that book that's pinging me). From what I now about 24/7, it's less M/M/F (which is a genre I love and in which it's really hard to find good books about) as well as less romance-y than all the previous novels in the series. But, at the same time, I trust J.A. Rock with that book.

I can't think of anything particularly vital that happens in pain play that would be confusing in the future books. There's a little bit of family stuff, and that kind of thing, and the introduction of a new character. But I also read all those books kind of in a row, so I can't guarantee it. If it's not working it will only get worse tho. And I'm happy to fill you in on details.

Hmm, I see. TBH, I'm at that point where I want to just read Manties in a Twist and forget about books 1, 2, and 4.

There's legit nothing about book 1's premise that makes me go "oooh", I have some legit srs bizness problems with some things about book 2, and, actually, book 4's OK (but, again, not super dazzling to me). *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs*

The wonky part is that I do have a copy of the Subs Club (which I intend to read in August?). Funnily enough, I'm generally a fan of J.A. Rock's books (been a fan since she first started publishing M/M stuff in 2012) and have either read them or have them in my TBR list already...except for the The Subs Club series (not counting the first book).

In short, there's a lot about this specific series that provokes weirdly negative feelings because I'm not into it as much as I think I should be (Book 3, aside). #ImtheworstMMreaderIguess :(

This is definitely a series that I would not recommend to everyone. I really really love BDSM and pain play and power-play, and loved the series. But they are not without triggers, and kinks that lots of people DNW.

I don't mind the potentially-triggery BDSM. Especially when it's by J.A. Rock (her books tend to be darker and/or more realistic than what a lot of people are accustomed). My apathy toward pain play in books aside, I'm sure there isn't much I don't think I couldn't deal with.

Anyhoo, I've bitched and moaned about this book series enough. You'll be the first one to know if/when I get around to reading it (or them.) /o\
