The Blueprint (Rules of Possession, #1) By S.E. Harmon
3 toxic as hell and not even the entertaining kind stars Yet another attempt of mine at catching up with popular books in the genre and yet another personal disappointment At this point I m sensing a pattern In my defense It just wasn t for me At all Call my taste messed up but I actually decided to pick this one up after reading a low rated review that stated how unhealthy the relationship was I love those dynamics in fiction only of course Give me codependent obsessive and possessive love any day of the week indeed. Factorio science blueprint book Where did things go wrong then when it seemingly had all the right ingredients for me Let s just put it this way this series might be called Rules of Possession but in my humble opinion Rules of Entitlement would be much fitting And when I say entitlement I mean the MC Blue s immature ways specifically Who I went from being slightly amused by to irritated and lastly an status of enraged that might have earned me a coronary in my near future. The blueprint to cut Loved him He was endlessly witty loyal to a fault and the kind of friend who would help you hide a dead body without asking any questions Someone I couldn t help but empathize with every step of the way Yet you know how everyone has that one pal regardless of gender who is always jumping on and off with an ex that everyone knows is trouble Well that s also Kelly I do think however that me caring so deeply for him was also a testament to how well his character was constructed While reading I somehow ended up developing a parasocial friendship with this fictional character Go figure. The blueprints cars Am I straining to find highlights so my review doesn t come off as too negative Perhaps Regardless it s true that I considered the cast of characters to be a lovable bunch From Kelly s incredibly supportive and frankly hilarious family to his protective and insightful friends Both of whom were there having his back every step of the way Summing up my experience with the book and its characters Me with Kelly his family and friends Me with Blue everyone else Let s keep it going though THE CHRONICLES OF BLUE S FOOLISHNESS. Bookkeeping blueprint reviews He might be a 6 4 wall of muscle but if I were to magically insert myself into the book I d still find a way to beat his ass With a club paddle barbed wire enhanced bat called Lucille etc But I can hear you all wondering how my rather extreme dislike came to be especially after I said on one of my early updates how I didn t exactly loathe him so below you can find out WARNING Spoilers Ahead Page 76 Blue jacks it to Kelly recounting his sexual experiences while each of them are laying on a bunk bed with his friend being completely unaware of it After the events he proceeds to say how super uber straight he is Page 115 After their first knowing sexual encounter K gave him a handjob Blue states how he could never see himself reciprocating Of course his stance changed because this is a romance novel but the pillow princess talk got on my nerves regardless Page 119 While talking about Kelly potentially dating another footballer he states A lot of them are unstable aggressive on and off the field and entitled The way he was describing himself to a T This is when my first symptoms of let s meet up in an Arby s parking lot and settle this for once started manifesting Page 142 Blue stands Kelly up on one of their weekly scheduled hang outs only to hook up with a random woman at a party while fantasizing about his aforementioned best friend And insisting he was still fully straight throughout the encounter Considering we were almost past the halfway point it was getting old Blue Page 150 goes back to K s apartment completely wasted and decides to initiate another meeting of the flesh This is the second time he pulls the moves while drunk making Kelly feel like he is not worthy of being approached sober A dirty secret to be had at the dead of night if you will In K s later words Without the alcohol fueling him Blue was perfectly all right with just being friends That was just that And to hell with how it made me feel If y all hear any rattling it s me getting my knives Look the other way and we re good Page 173 when he notices K is pulling back after B rejected him yet again once the sex was done Blue s immediate reaction is telling him that he is willing to put up with Kelly s advances as long as the other doesn t freeze him out of his life Pretty much implying that any future sexual encounters or interactions would be charity on his part and solely on K s behalf. The blueprint podcast The mood at the moment Page 183 Tries to guilt trip K so he won t go on a date Despite B also explicitly stating he does NOT want to date or even engage the other man romantically in any way Yoda s voice A piece of he is Page 202 finally admits his attraction to Kelly telling him directly and giving the guy hope for a future together Only to then proclaim I m not willing to change my life that way I have plans Kel and this is nowhere near those plans Eventually I want to get married Have kids You know how important family is for me Because marriage and having kids is an exclusively heterosexual activity uh You could say this is where I went from ok maybe Blue will still turn this around to I don t even give a damn if he does Page 220 B convinces aka guilt trips K post break up into letting him recover at his place after acquiring a field injury subsequently talking about how he wants to cuddle with Kelly and whining because the other man won t do it While also declaring how he didn t get it because that s totally what friends do right The vibe Page 235 Blue initiates sex yet again knowing full well how he was fucking with K s head and then right the very next second after they re finished proceeds to tell his friend this little gem I don t want fucking to end our friendship Us sleeping together is a bad idea And maybe maybe we shouldn t do it again Why do you keep coming onto Kelly then uh Why do you keep making him feel hopeful if you re gonna switch up gears the second your erection disappears It was just too much This man was a whole jester a buffoon a fool Booboo The Clown was found dead in a ditch in Miami JOBLESS Page 252 He pretends he s suffering from great physical pain once Kelly attempts to move on and bring a guy to his apartment He knows K will always put him and his health first and therefore uses that knowledge to ruin Kelly s chances at scoring and selfishly succeeds at keeping the guy single Page 269 stays on his bullshit Continues to be jealous of anyone who goes near a 10 mile radius of his bestie but still insists on not wanting Kelly that way and how they would never work as a couple It s the delusion for me Page 273 takes a teammate telling Blue how it s obvious that he s in love with Kelly for him to finally REALIZE IT Ya heard it right folks if this conversation didn t take place the man would ve kept his head firmly stored inside his own anus And did I mention we are also TWO CHAPTERS AWAY from the ending I repeat it took Blue 273 pages to even contemplate that he might harbor romantic feelings for his friend. Blueprint 2 student book My stance on the book and romance by then Page 284 B goes to visit Kelly at his place of work which is a college by the way since K is a professor ready to confess his love to the guy Only to proceed to flirt with a female student while he waits for Kelly to finish up his class The foolishness never stops Page 292 Once they get the opportunity for a private chat and for B to spew his romantic monologue he tells K he is willing again as if it were a chore to make their future relationship public and come out yet is not genuine about it When Kel calls him out on it and says maybe they should wait and keep it all a secret in the meantime Blue proceeds to express unmasked relief. Factorio rail blueprint book Yes the book really does wrap up things like that Sure they kiss exchange mandatory I Love You s and the usual other things expected of a romance YetI was too busy internally screaming to pay attention to any of it So overall this is not meant as an attack to those who enjoyed the book and the main couple but it s rather just me venting about a character and dynamic that was clearly not my cup at all As much as I usually enjoy unhealthy relationships the truth was that Blue was not it for me He didn t come across as charming but childish and whiny He wasn t even unapologetically toxic either instead trying to pass himself as a nice and well intentioned friend A friend to who Kelly owed his time attention and love all despite the fact that he wasn t willing to reciprocate said gestures for literally 90 percent of the book. The blueprint book Do I have high expectations for it however Not exactly Although I ll consider it a success and frankly a miracle if the story manages to make my dislike for Blue lessen even a fraction Rules of Possession series by S. The blueprint of life 3A Deeper Blue TBR ebook I was a walkingtalking cliche the gay man secretly pining for his straight best friend Friends to Lovers story with two highly likeable characters with great sexual chemistry. The body transformation blueprint e-book Kelly is a Physics Professor and what can I say apart from the fact that I absolutely ADORED himHe s gloriously geeky and a bit of a hipster type with his piercingstattoos and he s got a whole lot of sassiness going on. The blueprint organization I don t think he consciously led Kelly on with the friends with benefits thingI just think he was really conflicted and yesthere was a lot of back and forwards between them until Blue finally acknowledged his feelings. The blueprint podcast Recommended readReview copy ebook Its Pride Month So funny storyI was looking for a sport romance and Audible recommended this book to me I liked the cover and started listening without reading the blurb The book started with a girl named Kelly and although the narrator was a man I didn t suspect anything because there are lots of books using one narrator Kelly is a woman full of tattoos and piercings who is dating an arrogant man who wears suits and constantly tries to change her attire as if he s ashamed of her And still I didn t suspect anything He gets down on one knee in a sports game in front of the fans players and viewers at home and to not embarrass him Kelly says yes but on the way home she tells him she is not interested in marring him He obviously gets upset because all their friend are waiting to celebrate their engagement after watching the proposal on TV and then he accuses her of being in love with her best friend Blue the famous football player. Book the blueprint And still I didn t suspect a thing Then Kelly admits to herself she has always been in love with Blue that they were always close and she had to hide her feelings for him because he wasn t attracted to her that he was always there for her ever since they were kids even after she came out of the closet That was the point I started to suspect Because only then did I realize this book is M M and Kelly was actually A GUY Fuck my life So even though it was a surprise I never saw coming I kept listening and while there were clich dramas I didn t like in the second half of the book and one of the narrators annoyed me all in all it was a cute witty and very funny book especially Kelly s outing story which made me laugh like a loon So if you are in a mood for a fun MM book about a man who s in love with his straight best friend you should try this book NOTE this book is part of a duet While it doesn t end with a cliffhanger the story is definitely not over and although I enjoyed it I probably will not continue to the second book soon I listened to the AUDIO version O O E O I T G I IT Y OG O O E E IE GOO E ebook I absolutely adored Kelly He is an amazing character and I loved reading his POV So witty and snarky All my stars go to him. Factorio rail blueprint book As for Blue I didn t appreciate the way he treated Kelly He was selfish and inconsiderate Re read 11 2018Re read via audio 9 2019 Loved the audiobook Although the voices for Kelly and Blue were not exactly what I imagined reading the book myself I think that both narrators did a fantastic job I enjoyed the story even than the first two times. Breakup blueprint book Re read 5 2021 Still one of my favourite couples ebook The Blueprint gets a THUMBS UP for Best friends to lovers I never get tired of this trope Sexual discovery 101 Blue knows he s not the straight arrow he appears to be and whom better to ask for a gay trial run than his best friend Banter and banter These two have known each other for eons and it shows in their easy conversations filled with inside jokes and casual snark Opposites attract Blue is a cocky self assured athlete Kelly is not Fun twist on the OFY trope Blue doesn t go all drama llama yeah he s worried about what others will think if he embraces his gay side and he waffles on whether he s bi or not like every other hour but he doesn t get all weird and angsty If anything he s too laidback and takes Kelly for granted So it s all fun and games until someone gets hurt THUMBS down because Blue is kind of an arse when Kelly admits that the experiment is to him that just sex Blue thinks only about what HE wants His epiphany is triggered by jealousy and a talking to from one of his friends which FINE we all get places on our own terms But I wanted Blue to delve deeper The steam was just so so For a gay virgin and a whole lot of UST the steamy scenes were really tame they weren t fade to black exactly but they were truncated and perfunctory I needed way sexy for the OFY angle to feel real The ending kind of sucked and surprisingly it wasn t Blue s fault It was Kelly s I don t even get where Kelly was coming from in trying to what PROTECT Blue Blue didn t need protecting He s a grownass man with his own damn mind and he strung Kelly along like enough already let the man do his thing before he flip flops yet again I didn t really trust Blue to stand by his decision so the ending didn t feel like much of a HEA S. Factorio science blueprint book It was love at first chapter then I decided to get comfortable and enjoy the ride Best friends to lovers Childhood friends I have loved you for years Butt Virgin Yaaaaasss Geek Nerd and Jock Banter Humor Snark Dry Humor every kind of humor Bi GFY MC1 Kelly the professor MC2 Blue the NFL playerBlue and Kelly are been friends and have been since they were 12 Kelly is gay and has been in love with Blue for years I was a little embarrassed to even voice the thought I was a walking talking clich the gay man secretly pining for his straight best friend One night when they are drunk Blue decides to give into the attraction that he has been hiding and asks Kelly to Kiss him I was afraid that the book would go down hill or it will be your typical straight guy kisses gay best friend then freaks out and stops talking for half the book I was wrong IMO it got better. Blueprint 2 student book I loved that the two of them talked things out I can see why this book got mixed reviews because of Blue I understood him and did not feel that he was stringing Kelly along he was trying to figure things out I loved how he did not make a big deal out of it and like me he went with the flow And now I want a best friend like him Blue genuinely loves Kelly he just didn t know he was in love with him They were born to love and fall in love even though their relationship was somehow codependent bordering unhealthy i enjoyed it And while looks were nice and all that s not what made me love him He was sweet under that tough football player exterior He stood up for me usually when my smart mouth got a little too smart and got me in a pickle And when he got drafted to the NFL he could ve gotten a big head and left me in the dust He didn t Instead he paid off my student loans and helped me financially through graduate school No questions asked And he didn t bat an eyelash when I told him I was gay I didn t even think it crossed his mind to make me feel weird about it. The blueprint book I loved that he was not a doormat he stood up for himself and was not afraid to call Blue out when he was being a little bit of douche I loved his sense of humor I was laughing out loud while reading his POV His family was good too I glanced over at the stony face of my ex fianc Robert also known as a suspect in my future murder To be fair he d only been my ex for three minutes I kind of just broke up with him. The blueprint book pdf The Sex scenes were hot and funny yes Kelly and Blue cracked jokes while having sex Let me in sweetheart Trying I said with a grunt It s gonna take me a while to get used to this sucker I guarantee you will He chuckled softly almost ruefully I m pretty sure you were made for me Made for you I raised an eyebrow but my sassiness took a hit when he finally eased inside me We both sighed with pleasure I m going to give you a back rub after we re finished You must be tired from hauling that ego around all day He snorted Shut up Kel How do you know you weren t made for me I m older I was around before you were even a thought He stuck out his tongue Deal with it The secondary characters were well written and there was no manufactured drama Just a story about best friends who have loved each other for years finally figuring their shit out I love SE Harmon s writing and her sense of humor Ever since I read Stay with me I got hooked I am just sad that she has not written many book She is one author I would have loved to binge read. The blueprint to cut E Harmon This is my very first book by this author and I am pretty much bowled over It s witty and fun sexy sweet with not too much angst Not to mention that I fell totally in love with these two This is a M M sports bi awakening romance. Blueprint book plomin Kelly Cannon is a twenty nine year old physics professor who is openly gay I loved that on the outside Kelly is an argyle sock cardigan sweater wearing neatly dressed college professor But underneath he is a tattooed pierced man who is proud of who he is and hides nothing Well there is one thing he does hide the way he REALLY feels about his best friend since the second grade Blue Britton Blue Montgomery is an NFL tight end for the Aventura Outlaws Blue is thirty years old and has been dubbed the Blueprint or prototype of a perfect tight end Blue s life has always been about football Without it he has no idea who he is He and Kelly and been best friends since the beginning They are as different as night and day Blue s life revolving around sports and Kelly who doesn t like to break a sweat But somehow it has always worked Until it didn t In the tapestry of our life our threads were so interwoven we d have to unravel the whole blanket to pull them apart Blue and Kelly are so close it s like a marriage without the sex Only for some time Blue has noticed things about Kelly a straight man shouldn t And he is oddly possessive of him like when anyone else looks at him or touches him or speaks to him When a little alcohol loosens his inhibitions a little experimenting happens which changes everything Especially when Kelly finally admits that he s in love with Blue has always been in love with him And now it s time for Blue to decide what he really wants What did I love about this book Just about everything These two were so perfect for each other I loved the way they were just two halves of a whole My only problem is that when I love characters this much I feel protective of them And I didn t like that Kelly had to feel pain while keeping his true feelings hidden and finally forcing Blue to decide what he really wanted These two made me smile so much and sigh both out of frustration and when they were happy I can t wait to finish their story in the second part of this duet A Deeper Blue For about this book and so many others come and visit me at Carol s Crazy Bookish World. Factorio blueprint book com groups Carol ebook 4 Confounding Stars I m scratching my head as to why I thoroughly enjoyed this because for me there were many things in this book that shouldn t have worked despite this containing the well loved trope of the classic friends to lovers progression However this features an adamantly heterosexual star athlete whose gay bestie is in love with him and is tossed liberally with female bits and in the closet overtones understandably giving me plenty of reasons to furrow my brow. Kindle The blueprint So yes I shook my head about 90% of time while listening to this as Blue tries to reconcile these quasi new feelings towards his bff Once they cross the line Blue s not sure about going all in but he s not satisfied in going back to friendship only either However Kelly isn t about to let him have his cake and eat it too and therein lies the rub Props to Harmon in giving both Kelly and Blue distinct voices completely likeable personalities and a dynamic that obviously clicked It doesn t hurt at all that these two were hot as fire My brain short circuited no less than 8 times I absolutely believe that the narration by Alexander Cendese and Sean Crisden literally brought Kelly and Blue to life and made them and this story 10 times better They delivered their lines with precision expounding on the sarcasm the snark the doubt the back and forth and the above mentioned seriously too hot to handle chemistry between these two Unf. The Blueprint kindle books Despite my bafflement this was smart and funny and I immensely liked the push pull between Kelly and Blue all the while fanning myself as I listened to this genius narration I m just happy there s a sequel since this ended somewhat suddenly and I look forward to of this mind boggling goodness Thank you to the author publisher for the audio in exchange for a honest review ebook Audio 2. Breakup blueprint book Story 3 stars I m not a fan of rom coms I have managed to enjoy a few but that has everything to do with the author s style of delivery In the case of this story it didn t work for me The tone was too comedic I did chuckle every now and then but mostly I was shaking my head and or rolling my eyes I found it hard to believe the MCs were 29 and 30 They acted like high school college aged boys. Blueprint 2 student book Based on the ratings it s me and not the book I will gladly wear a defective reader s pin D ebook Normally I don t change my rating for a book but I am gonna do it this time See when I read and reviewed this book I didn t know it was gonna be a series and that there was gonna be a second book This changes a few things for meat least the way I feel about the ending and how things felt a bit rushed So I am upping my rating with half a star The blurb of this one looked all kinds of promising to me I mean Sports Friends to Lovers Opposites Attract and GFY all in one go There were definitely parts of this book that I was very pleased with.

Book the blueprint Now don t get me wrong There were definitely parts I really enjoyed in this book It s also extremely funny so I really laughed my ass off I was just so dissapointed with Blue s behavior It was very hard to get passed that The ending feels like a HFN not a HEA My reviews are posted on DirtyBooksObsession ebook S.
