Can the magic Whip and Nicky found at the Gay Riders’ Carnivale continue when they return to their regular lives?
With the Gay Riders’ Carnivale over, Whip brings Nicky home with him to his converted warehouse condo in Ottawa with the hopes that what they started at the Carnivale will grow into something they can both live with forever.
All is going well, the two of them learning more about each other and playing hard between Whip’s returning to work as an EMT and Nicky finding a job at a coffee shop.
When Nicky’s former master, the abusive Dirk, steps back into Nicky’s life, it threatens their very lives.
Can Whip and Nicky survive both real life and Dirk?
Publisher's Note: This book is a sequel to The Biker’s Pup and contains characters from the first book. It can be read as a standalone story.
I am so happy that Sean Michael listens to me. Actually, I have no idea whether the author does or not, but I asked for a longer story about Whip and Nicky, one that showed their life after the Gay Riders Carnivale weekend was over and they were back in the city trying to make their newfound relationship work. And, voilá, here is 'Bringing Nicky Home'. So, I'm going to imagine that the author listens to me. *grins*
He got Nicky’s fear, though. They’d had a whirlwind courtship, hot and heavy from the start, but away from home, away from the regular stressors of life. They hadn’t been tested yet.
I could definitely understand Nicky's fear and worry. His first "master", if he could even be called that, treated Nicky like dirt, abusing him, and using him, all in the name of BDSM. Nicky keeps expecting to wake up from this reality of having spent the last four days with Whip and now being in his home, and discover the whole thing was a wonderful dream. I adored Whip even more for wanting to make sure he always praised Nicky and made him feel valued and loved. Watching these two men, who need each other so much, settle into their new life together was wonderful.
I wasn't particularly surprised that the author brought Dirk, Nicky's abuser, back into the picture. Nicky is so sweet, so giving, so trusting and loyal, that I didn't think he'd be able to stay away. Being the nasty piece of trash that he is, Dirk tries to come at Nicky alone, and then he brings five other guys to try to beat Nicky to death. Luckily for Nicky, his self-confidence has grown while being with Whip and he isn’t going to take anything lying down. Of course Whip wasn't going to let his pup be hurt, either.
A fabulous story showcasing two of my favorite characters. Thank you, Sean, and I really hope you plan more for this series!
