Jacquie's Review:
Our Shellfish Desires continues an overarching plot and therefore, needs to be read as part of the series.
I've been looking forward to this one. Alexander and Rota captured my attention when we first met them. I felt so sorry for the pair, sharing the same body and unable to be with each other properly. Their love is very sweet when Alexander, generally, isn't.
The addition of Ollie is fantastic. Yes this is MMM. I loved his character and quirks and he was the perfect foil to Alexander's grumpy ways.
There's a decent amount of steam with tentacles being out to good use. The story is really building and pieces of the jigsaw being put into place.
Looking forward to the next one

Jacqueleen's Review:
I will never tire of this series. It's just so much fun.
All the banter and brooding and tentacles make for a hilarious series that can still bring out the feels. I loved being able to glimpse behind the facade so to speak in Alexanders head. He had been through an unspeakable horror and deserved all the happiness in the world. Hes had Rota in his life for so long and their love was so strong and powerful. Then came Ollie. He may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he makes up for it with his kind nature and sweet gestures. I adored him.
The dynamic between the 3 of them took some time to figure out. Alexander had always only had Rota. He didn't trust easily and he was wary of his growing feelings reguarding Ollie. Ollie was so patient with him and it helped that Rota was such a calming presence and upfront with his feelings for Ollie as well. It was nice to see Ollie being cared about after everything with his ex, Ted.
The murder mystery portion of the story has made some headway, but is certainly not over yet. This one ends on a HFN ending with a glimpse into the next book which appears to once again feature Sloane and Loch. You wont hear me complaining about more of them ever. To top it off the sneak peak ends on its very own mini cliffhanger which has me already dying for what's next
