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...
4.5 stars. Review completed March 20, 2014Respect.Trust.Acceptance.Authenticity.Honesty.Appreciation.Love.A few years ago Steve quite literally ditched his abusive Master's shackles and fled to England. Now he's back in Australia to claim the life and property he had to leave behind and attends a ch...
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...
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...
Marvelous, simply marvelous. Going on the favorites shelf for re-reads. Lots of reviews on this so I don't have much more to add that hasn't already been said. If I had one little area that I didn't like, it was Gabriel and Don sleeping together. However, I understand it even though I didn't like it...
Oh wow, I'm having a bit of a wtfery moment here. I thought this was Steel flipping me the finger for being a pain by reccing me a really cheesy f/m FSOG-ish book. But it's m/m? Then what's Madonna with her bulging muscles doing on the cover? And why do I have a ds shelf, but not a bdsm shelf? Odd.
It's a long book, somehow while reading it felt even longer:) Overall I liked it, especially the dealing with a master/slave relationship gone wrong and how, even after several years, Stephen still was struggling with it. On the other hand I found it to be a bit inconsistent, the reasoning behind so...
This book was a very pleasant surprise! Most definitely not the standard story that I was expecting. The story was a unique view of the world of master/slave and had a lot of things going for it.Steve - I will admit that I am not overly fond of main characters in drag but Stevie had something specia...
