Book Blurb

After decades of wondering and worrying over his submissive tendencies, fortysomething Todd decides to explore his fantasies. His first step is to join a BDSM club, and it's there that he meets Malik, a young and beautiful Dominant who is very interested in introducing Todd to this world. In fact, Malik is interested in everything about Todd, which is startling to the older man given the differences in their ages. Malik helps Todd explore his submissiveness, but after an unpleasant meeting with Todd’s ex-boyfriend, he also encourages him to confront his demons so he will no longer live his life in shame.

A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2015 Daily Dose package "Never Too Late."

 

Book Review

This year's Dreamspinner Press Daily Dose anthology is titled 'Never Too Late', and there's something about that concept which appeals to me. Whether you're trying to make amends, or getting up the courage to be who you are, it really never is too late to make what you want of your life. I am honored to be a part of this year's edition, and I greatly enjoyed Katya Harris's contribution of 'A Life Without'.

Oh how I could empathize with Todd as he finally took the beginning steps to learn about BDSM. It's a frightening thing to admit to your desires, and even more terrifying to act upon them. Luckily for Todd, he meets an incredible, sexy, gorgeous Dominant by the name of Malik, who is equally entranced with Todd. They begin a relationship, so to speak, and Todd is happier than he's ever been. Until the night Todd and Malik encounter Todd's ex-boyfriend, and Malik is only too happy to assist Todd in finding his own value and worth, and in leaving his shame behind.

A lovely short story, which, to be honest, I would've enjoyed seeing much more of. The author’s writing is captivating, and she created wonderful characters whom I greatly enjoyed. Thank you, Katya.
