WOW! Serious Props
I can always count on a James Cox novel to be original and entertaining. When he gives us a story like 'Beauty Has Balls'? Wow, I have to give him some serious props. I haven’t read the dark side of Cox in way too long and I’d forgotten how well he can create a mood – and hold on to it. This is an intense one, so pay attention to the tags if you’re sensitive. Nevin and Marco are two interesting and exceptional characters and James Cox goes the extra mile in exploring who they are. It’s fascinating to see the way they endure the torture Chains dishes out. And watching how they cope in the aftermath…? Well, their emotions are so genuine, they stole my heart from the get go. I don’t want to spoil anything here, but the build up of the relationship between these two men is pretty spectacular. The bond that develops between them as they help each other cope throughout their ordeal is intense and we don’t miss a minute of it. Theirs is a very special story. I’m glad to say that even though 'Beauty Has Balls' is spectacularly dark, it still has all the hallmarks of a James Cox novel. That snarky humor, playful banter, and glorious dirty talk are all here. And without getting too philosophical, the message of being happy and embracing the simple things in life is most appreciated. I’m loving this standalone series and can’t wait to see what’s next in store for the guys from The Cox Club stories.
