An unremarkable but unoffending ABO romance story. I was originally drawn in for the premise of two antagonistic men who keep coming together but refuse to admit they even like each other, much less love. That expectation was delivered in full, along with great art, decent writing for both the smut and lifestyle scenes, and decently compelling story beats. The story does a good job slowly laying out the main character's attraction, but I think it could have benefitted from an additional chapter to really sell the love interest's feelings and flesh him out some more. But other than that the pacing is satisfactory, and it's overalla good story.

The ABO is present and vital how the story works, but doesn't take center stage or demand much focus. For those who aren't a huge fan of ABO, this might still be a fine read.
