qace90's review against another edition
3.0
I received a copy of Trouble’s on the Way from Nine Star Press via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book picked up immediately after the ending of BAD MOON ARISING and has Clay and Damian getting a job with Billy Ray, Damian’s fated mate. This causes drama and contention because Clay is (unwillingly) falling in love with Damian, and Damian already knows he loves Clay and has reasons for not mating with Billy Ray in the past.
I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this book. There is some interesting world building (fated mates have their mates eye until the bond is completed) and some stuff that makes me questionable (Billy Ray is bigender and not sure if that’s because he’s omega, or if he’s omega because he’s bigender). In some ways I don’t feel like there was much relationship development and it’s very pre-relationship, especially regarding Billy Ray’s place in the dynamic. Still curious, especially because there’s been a few things that make me think Billy Ray can get pregnant.
Overall, I’m just not sure how to feel about this book. I still wanna see the continuation of their relationship and figuring out how all three of them fit and work together. I also like some of the casual queerness that came up (as I said, Billy Ray is bigender and one of the side characters is asexual). But in other ways this book doesn’t seem to have had much happen?
