Book Blurb

The night Logan subbed for the bartender at his club, he had no idea that the love of his life would walk through the door, but he knew he wanted Joey the moment he saw him. He just wasn’t sure Joey was prepared for the lifestyle Logan wants. As sexy as Joey is, he seems too innocent for the life Logan wants with him. So, Logan bides his time, waiting for Joey to get to know him better.

Joey came to the city to find someone, anyone. Logan, however, was more than he had ever dreamed of. Still, Joey had hope, and many late night fantasies. After a year of waiting, Joey finally gives up and goes to another club, a BDSM club. He’s totally unprepared for what he sees there and what he discovers about himself.

Hoping to save Joey from himself, Logan comes to his rescue, taking him home. Once there, things get heated. But all is not easy for these two. Just as they begin to settle down into domestic D/s bliss, Joey’s father comes around to mess things up.

Note: This book was previously published with Noble Romance in July 2009 and has been extensively revised and expanded.

 

Book Review

Making assumptions about what someone else wants is dangerous, and acting on those assumptions, without ever checking if they are true, is just plain stupid. Logan, an extremely dominant man who thinks he knows best what is good for Joey, is an excellent example of what not to do when meeting the love of your life and fearing your preferences in the bedroom might be too much for him. Yes, Joey is innocent and a bit naïve, but he is a grown man and what Logan does, well-meaning though it may be, deeply hurts him. The story of the two of them finally figuring it all out is touching, sweet, and had me frowning and smiling in turn. Oh, and it gets quite hot and kinky as well, just in case you were wondering. The whole story of how Joey learns what happens when he calls Logan “sir” is hilarious!

Logan is self-confident, knows what he wants in a partner, and not afraid to ask for what he wants. Or so he thinks until Joey walks into his club and totally floors him. Logan is determined not to be selfish and overwhelm the younger man with his kinky desires, and decides to wait. Get to know him better. A year later, he is still waiting for the perfect moment. While it shows how much he cares, it’s also proof that he is so taken by Joey that he gets more and more afraid the man will turn him down. What the heck? His hesitance is kind of cute initially, but a whole year? While scaring everyone else off so Joey remains single? Man, just get your act together! I wanted to kick him for being so hesitant and ending up hurting Joey more than honesty ever could.

Joey is lonely after being kicked out by his family for being gay, desperate to find a man he can love, and more than mystified why nobody in the club he goes to on a regular basis will do more than talk to him. When he finally goes to a different place and the same thing happens there, he is ready to throw in the towel. The angst alone almost did me in! But his visit to the new club, owned by a good friend of Logan, at least spurs Logan into action and gets Joey what he wants: Logan’s undivided attention. As he discovers exactly why Logan was so hesitant, and explores what he thinks is a pretty hot way of looking at life, he only falls more deeply for Logan every time they get together.

Things aren’t easy for these two until Logan learns to communicate, and Joey dares to speak up. If you like hesitant first-timers encountering the hot world of BDSM, if you prefer to stay on the loving D/s side of things where a butt plug and the occasional spanking are all the men need to make them feel good, and if you’re looking for a hot read with lots of sweet romance, then you will probably like this novella.
