Watch and Learn

Rate this book
Neither Zac nor Chris want a relationship.

It sort of sneaks up on them.

And then the lines become blurred.



When Chris approaches twenty-two-year old Zac in a bar, he’s floored by Zac’s announcement.

“I’m twenty-two. No boyfriend. No partner. And seriously considering taking a vow of celibacy.”

The more Zac shares, the more Chris feels he can help Zac. And after one visit to a club, Chris knows what turns him on.

Zac likes to watch.

Lucky for Zac that Chris can help him with that.

In fact, Chris can blow Zac’s mind.



When forty-two-year-old Chris tells Zac of his intentions, Zac is intrigued.

“I don’t want to know what makes your engine tick—I wanna know what makes it purr. I wanna watch you, learn what your boundaries are, how far I can push them.”

And push them, he does. Each new experience is hotter than the last. Kinkier too.

But somewhere along with the way, Zac stops wanting to be ‘f***-buddies who don’t f***.’

He wants more.

But Chris doesn’t want that – does he?



They’re not in a relationship, right?

Yeah, right.





Contains two men who enjoy watching, a lot of steamy scenes - some of them kinky – a lack of communication (hey, they’re men), and no cheating.

I have no idea why I picked this up or what to rate this. This isn’t a romance in the traditional sense but kink discovery between two guys that are 20 years apart. They go to kink parties watching other dudes get off as Zac likes to watch and sometimes Chris joins in.

Curiosity is why I picked this up. I just read fluff and this appeared and was the exact opposite. Like some of it was just not my thing. *shudders*. Actually most of it was not my thing yet I could not stop reading it.

This was really freaking hot!!
I actually just randomly picked this one up and i really have to say I am glad I did, because my kinky side really got his fulfillment here.

I loved both MCs but all the side characters were so precious as well! Zac’s and Chris’ dynamic was really good and I loved the relationship development from being just fuck buddys to real boyfriends!
And I also loved the way how opened they both were when it came to their needs and wishes. So their communication was really on point!

This novella was almost pure sex but even with the sheer amount of those scenes it didn’t felt overwhelming or too much! It really worked out well, especially since Chris introduced Zac into the kinky world. And thats something ovalster really loved here! The sheer amount of kink exploration!
I really have to say Chris and Zac’s intimate moments were so freaking hot and I really enjoyed them all a lot!

But I can see that some people might now really like this novella because of the trops since Zac is more the voyeur and Chris more the active participating part in their dynamic, which means they are not exclusive (but only play with other when they are together).

But I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend reading it to everyone who also likes that kind of dynamic and kink.

I'm convinced both MCs in this book are demiromantic and no one can convince me otherwise. Both of them have no interest in romance or relationships and everyone of their friends and family that are mentioned make note of this. When they do eventually start having romantic feelings, it sneaks up on them and both are so confused by it all. They don't understand and it gave me big aro vibes.

Anyway, if sex heavy books aren't for you, skip this one. This is an age gap, fuck buddy book. Basically Chris approaches Zac in a bar and they both have the rule of no partners and no relationships. When Zac reveals he hasn't had anyone satisfy him sexually Chris makes a point that maybe Zac is into other things. They pretty much get right to sexual stuff but it's not what you think. Turns out Zac likes to watch more than participate and he and Chris explore that the entire book. This is probably 80% sex and 20% plot.

There were quite a few things I appreciated that this book does. The first is to normalize unconventional sexual relationships. Not everyone is into penetrative sex and you don't have to enjoy anal to be gay, etc. Another thing I liked was the discussion about working with what you have and adapting. Sexual compatibility isn't everything and opening up a relationship can work for many people. Having an actual conversation about this is important and I was glad that what little of the plot there was had that conversation included.

There's A LOT of kink in this one. I mean the two of them basically go to different sex parties, some at private homes and some at clubs, and figure out what turns Zac on. I was here for it but would've liked maybe an addition 50 pages of plot and character development.

rep: gay demiromantic MCs (while the arospec rep isn't canon as in it isnt labeled, I'm claiming them)
CW: explicit sex, kinky sex, fisting, double penetration

4.5*

If you want a steamy, sexy story with lots of action, this is for you. It is erotica at its finest. And no one seems to pull it off quite like K.C. She makes her characters always leaving you wanting for more, whether it be something sweet and romantic or something that's just hard core sex and more. And the title is so appropriate for this story. And the things they learned from this story and how the characters just blossomed with each other, despite not wanting relationships, tells a lot about how in tune they are with each other. It's a really shorter story and one I think you guys will love.

This book is smoking HOT!

I love books by K.C. Wells. She has a wide variety of tropes and genres to choose from. Watch and Learn is one of her spicier books. It's a quick read at only 96 pages but those pages are jammed packed with naughty goodness.

Zac is young and untutored in the ways of gay sex. He meets Chris, older than him by a couple of decades, at a bar and they hit it off. Neither is looking for a relationship but Zac is eager for Chris to become is tutor.

Chris has lots of friends into the BDSM scene and he goes to events at various clubs. He wants Zac to learn that sex can be wonderful and not the lack-luster experience he has had in the past. He takes Zac to clubs where he is shocked and turned on by the things he sees.

This book is filled with hot, explicit scenes between consenting adults and Zac certainly learns a lot. Since this is a romance, we know that Chris and Zac will end up together; reading about their journey was a very hot and sensual experience.

This story is K.C. Wells at her finest. Keep 'em coming lady – I loved it! ❤

This is one hot read! When Chris and Zac decide to have some fun with no strings attached, they go for it with full force. Chris brings Zac into a new sexy and exciting world. It is full of new sexual adventures and new feelings to be had. Soon the two men are beginning to see more than just a friendship but neither wants that right?

I loved seeing Zac and Chris connect. The two men are perfect for each other. It was nice to see Chris help Zac begin to find himself. The two men begin as friends and soon they find themselves in a place that they must make a hard decision. While their story is a hot read it also is a story about finding someone and all the emotions that go with it. I liked both Zac and Chris from the start was pulled into their story. There is a lot of sex going on, but the feelings are there as well and both men learn that they must deal with them. I loved seeing their friendship blossom into something more and see the men work through it all.

Once again K.C. doesn't disappoint. I loved Zac and Chris's story. Understandably, Zac is fascinated and attracted to the fact Chris can read him so well; picking up on what he likes and dislikes. However, Chris reminds him he's not all-knowing and there's definitely more to learn about each other.
A beautiful agreement of friends-with-benefits sets things in motion and their story begins.
Their JUST friends...yeah right.
These two were made for each other.
I definitely recommend this book, five stars!

I had high hopes for this but I felt a little meh. I didn’t really expect a non-exclusive relationship or all of the hopping around kinky parties and everything under the sun thrown in for them to “view.” But whatevs, if it’s your thing. Not really so much mine. It would’ve been if the one dude didn’t start to feel a bit jealous, possibly. Who knows. 2.5⭐️

Enlightening

This was by far the most enlightening story I’ve ever read. I haven’t had the opportunity to experience the things that Zac and Chris enjoyed sharing with each other. So, this story was pretty educational. I loved the book, though. Zac and Chris are wonderfully adorable and I really liked seeing their relationship sneak up on them. This was a lot of fun!

Chris Levinson et Zac Tanner

Quarante-deux ans et Vingt-deux ans
Redécouverte de la sexualité, Relation libre
.

C'est le premier de Wells avec lequel je ne suis pas convaincu.
Un peu trop porté sur les relations sexuelles à la limite de la pornographie (pourtant mentionné au debut comme different de ce qui est decrit).
Si on avait plus développer la relation entre les deux, peut être que ça aurait marcher pour moi.

📖
Ni Zac ni Chris ne veulent de relation.
Cela les surprend en quelque sorte.
Et puis les lignes deviennent floues.

Lorsque Chris s'approche de Zac, vingt-deux ans, dans un bar, il est stupéfait par l'annonce de Zac.
« J'ai vingt-deux ans. Pas de petit ami. Aucun partenaire. Et j’envisage sérieusement de faire vœu de célibat.
Plus Zac partage, plus Chris sent qu'il peut aider Zac. Et après une visite dans un club, Chris sait ce qui l'excite.
Zac aime regarder.
Heureusement pour Zac que Chris puisse l'aider avec ça.
En fait, Chris peut époustoufler Zac.

Lorsque Chris, quarante-deux ans, fait part à Zac de ses intentions, Zac est intrigué.
« Je ne veux pas savoir ce qui fait tourner votre moteur, je veux savoir ce qui le fait ronronner. Je veux te regarder, découvrir quelles sont tes limites, jusqu’où je peux les repousser.
Et les pousser, il le fait. Chaque nouvelle expérience est plus chaude que la précédente. Plus coquin aussi.
Mais quelque part en cours de route, Zac cesse de vouloir être des « putains de copains qui ne baisent pas ».
Il en veut plus.
Mais Chris ne veut pas ça, n'est-ce pas ?

Ils ne sont pas en couple, n'est-ce pas ?
Oui en effet.

Oh my! 😵 This book is hot hot hot!
It's gay positive with kink.

So, there's on guy who's 22 (Zac) and another who's 42 (Chris) but their chemistry makes the age gap inconsequential.

tbh this book had me at, “I don’t want to know what makes your engine tick—I wanna know what makes it purr.”

Zac's thing is to watch. Sound dull? Oh hell no! The things he watches are varied and sexy af as Chris takes him to parties (not the cocktail kind!).

But there is an endearing relationship between these two men - a caring and generosity which touches the heart (as well as other places).

What's extra good is that Zac doesn't like anal - too many m/m romances treat this as the be all and end all. There is so much more and these two explore a lot of options.

It's a super quick read. I definitely wanted more!
This is the first book I've read by this author - I suspect her other books will find their way onto my TBR pile.

Sexy, fun and endearing!

Thrilled!

Loved Zac and Chris? Was it Chris? I can't remember! I read these books so fast! Anyways I loved these guys and mostly because they explored other ways to, er, ya know... And if was hot af! I mean sizzling. I want more books like this! Although I did discover that like Zac, the paddle pool activities are not for me either, but I'm also not really that into fisting.. I mean, who knew? Anyways, I had a blast hanging out with these guys! Onto the next!

A non-penetrative voyeuristic pairing. About fucking time I read something like this. It was short, it was fun, it was kinky. I sort of wished there wasn't quite as much anal play (that they watched) as there was. It would have been awesome if they watched more non-penetrative sexual acts than they did. But w/e to each their own.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is a bit different from the normal romantic/erotic read. A bit naughtier with quite a few "extras" that you don't often find in your average MM book. It was refreshing and amazingly hot. Loved it.

Nicely balanced novella between steamy erotica and a sweet, accidental romance. The story felt a bit rushed, but I think a secondary conflict to pad things out might have also felt contrived.

A very sexy read for the broad minded. Some new insights into BDSM scene but love and friendship too. More like this please Ms Wells and another series like Collars and Cuffs would be awesome. If you love BDSM try this as well.

A M/M romance with low drama, original kinks and a healthy dose of power exchange, rather on the light side. What's not to love? The secondary characters were great too and it's a quick read just like I like them.

A Naughty Novella

Another great wee book, filled with surprises. K. C. Wells draws out her characters and their interests and although I didn’t weep once (like I do with most of her books) it had tender moments as well as decidedly hot moments. Another five-stars book.
