I should have loved this novel, great writing, superb plot and an interesting twist with the sub hero being a crossdresser, yet somehow I just wasn't able to fully connect with the story and expected a bit more. Steven has been severely burned in a previous 24/7 relationship and is reluctant to give...

Steven’s story is marked by betrayal. The kind that met love and needs with abuse and isolation, and corrupted something that began with the thrill of feeling real, only to end with the loss of self. The betrayal is past but overshadowing, tainting Steven’s attraction for Don with distrust, anger a...

4 stars.****Review posted March 23, 2014His whole face had changed from the moment I'd handed him the camera. Back near Connie's house, apart from the brief flash of grief, his expression had been devoid of emotion. Now there was full focus. After a while the intermittent glimpses of almost frighten...

The acknowledgements got on my nerve a bit. It made the author sound like xe was trying too hard right off the bat. I tried to put it out of my mind when reading so as to not let my distaste for the way the beginning part of it was phrased affect my reading.It's interesting to see the dynamics. Stev...

This book was provided to me by the author through the M/M Romance Group DBML program in exchange for an honest review.It took a few false starts for me to start getting into the book. For one thing, there's this introduction of the character(s), kind of, before the story even begins. I sat down in ...

The first half was just ok, but the second half was awe-summ. I really liked the plot... what happens when BDSM is not sane, safe and/or consensual? What are the after effects to the sub? This book dealt with thIs. It was very nice change from the shitty BDSM books out there where the Doms suck a...

How is it possible to hate a character who never shows can generate such a high degree of loathing? Julius, Stevie's ex-partner is an asshole. Of course, he isn't in the book to defend himself but really, from Stevie's point of view, it's horrific. Stevie represents the abused spouse locked in th...

Mixed thoughts on this one, partly because I 'read' by listening to the audio version (narrated by Jim Bowie).As far as the story goes, it is short. Sam and Jake are flatmates who secretly desire each other but have never moved their relationship forward. Jake is a brainiac and a bit shy, keeping pr...
