Book Blurb

Dante knew Daniel was right for him the minute the gorgeous little man said his first curse word. He was everything Dante could ever want in a sub, sexy, spunky, and totally into the lifestyle Dante wanted with him. But some things are harder to get than others. When Dante gets called away on business he expects to be gone for a couple of weeks. He figures to claim Daniel when he comes home but two weeks quickly turn into six months.

When Dante finally returns, everything he’d been looking for in a mate is gone. Daniel’s been assaulted and beaten by a Dom out of control. His trust for anyone, including Dante, is gone. Dante could lose the man of his dreams forever

Determined to find the man he knows Daniel can be, Dante moves Daniel into his home and his life. But along with Daniel’s insecurities and lack of trust, Dante has to fight the Dom that assaulted Daniel in the first place and a host of other misunderstandings before he can prove to Daniel that what they have is worth fighting for.

Note: This book was previously released by Noble Romance Publishing in March 2010 and has been extensively revised and expanded.

 

Book Review

This second book in the ‘Sir’ series is Danny’s story, and it is entirely different in tone than the first. I expected it to be a little deeper, since Joey’s best friend used to joke with him about the fact he likes his scenes a “little more intense” than Joey’s somewhat lighthearted approach to what is really more D/s than BDSM. In fact, this second book is quite dark as it deals with some of the issues that occur when BDSM play doesn't happen in a safe and consensual way.

Danny has gone through hell. After one encounter with Dante he hoped for more, only to never hear from the man again. After months of waiting he agrees to a scene at Dante’s club and things go horribly wrong. The focus isn't the physical side of the abuse Danny suffers, but it does get mentioned. What Danny struggles with are the emotional and mental issues as he tries to learn how to trust again. When Dante suddenly reappears, Danny needs to deal with the fact he feels abandoned, but, more importantly, he has to figure ot how to relate to Dante. He still likes the man a lot, but he just doesn’t know if he can ever do anything even looking like a scene, like giving up control ever again.

Dante is a very patient Dom who is in love with Daniel, and yes, he calls him by his full name at all times, that is how formal and proper he is. He also realizes he made some major mistakes (and he keeps making them, the dummy), but he is willing and able to talk, to learn, and to change what he does based on Danny’s feedback. He also has some interesting ideas for “exercises” that will help Danny regain trust. Dante is determined to make their relationship work, no matter what, and if there is anyone who can resist a determined Dom, it isn’t Danny.

If you like patient Doms ready to deal with anything an abused sub can throw at them, if you don’t mind your D/s to be a little more intense than the odd butt plug, and if you’re looking for an emotionally intense read with lots of hot interludes and some sweet loving, then you will probably like this novella.
