Book Blurb

As the love between Toby and Damon deepens, the man intent on destroying their happiness increases his efforts.

Toby and Damon are back in Brewing, their relationship deepening more despite the continuing efforts of a stranger to bring them down.

Helping in their efforts are their best friends Peter and Christian. Peter’s new investment in a three-story building on the same block as Damon’s bar offers Toby the opportunity of having a studio close to home. It also gives Peter and Christian a home they’ve made together, which Peter hopes will bring them closer together.

A former soldier, Christian has a hard time letting go and finding his subspace. It’s going to take a lot to break the conditioning he’s learned in the Army. Peter is stubborn, though, and he’s seriously falling for his strong sub.

Will yet another attack bring down two couples this time?

 

Book Review

This fourth book in the Beer and Clay series brings a nice surprise: sculptor Toby and bar owner Damon are joined by their friends Christian and Peter in a more permanent way. They had already decided to invest in a building together, walking distance from Damon’s bar. There’s a lunch café for ex-Army man and sub Christian on the ground floor, a studio for Toby to work in on the first floor, and an apartment for Christian and Peter on the top floor. Even better than that, Christian and Peter now also tell parts of the story, and I loved getting their point of view as well.

 Christian is a sub, just like Toby, but he struggles with his submission. He used to be in the Army, has all these macho ideas about what it means to be a tough guy, and suffers from PTSD.  He needs to learn how to let go, he knows submitting helps him, but he fights it every inch of the way. Every time. It’s a good thing Peter is such a patient Dom – and it helps that he loves Christian deeply. Their scenes are tougher than Toby and Damon’s, because that is what they need, and it was interesting to see them both side by side.

Toby and Damon have come a long way. They love each other deeply, Toby loves to submit to Damon, but he is still shy about some of what they do together. He is ecstatic to have a new studio where he can get back to work, and some of his pieces show the anger and frustration he feels about the guy who keeps threatening his and Damon’s lives. And the mysterious gifts start appearing at the studio’s door…

If you want to know what’s happening with Toby and Damon as well as Christian and Peter, if you enjoy watching two couples figure out how best to deal with stress, and if you’re looking for a very hot read with some deeply emotional moments, then you will probably like this novella.
