Book Blurb

The man who pimped Jeff may be in prison, but Jeff is still living the nightmare, selling himself to men and relying on pills to manage. Then he meets Scott, a young American man who could easily have been where Jeff is now. Scott’s friends extend a helping hand to Jeff, and he grabs it.

Leo and Thomas bring Jeff to stay with Dom Damian Barnett until they can find him someplace more long-term. Still grieving from losing his sub to cancer two years before, Damian agrees to help. But when he glimpses the extent of the damage, Damian wants to do more than offer his guestroom. Jeff is not a submissive, but Damian can see he desperately needs structure in his life. It’s up to Damian to find an answer.

He never expects that what he discovers will change both their lives. 

 

Book Review

Ahh, KC and Parker, you have no idea how much I needed to jump back into the world of 'Collars & Cuffs' this morning. It's a favorite and very well loved world for me, and it's a comfortable place to spend a few hours. As I'm sure you both are aware, many of your readers, myself included, have been wanting to know what happened to Jeff, whom we met in 'Someone to Keep Me'. I'm thrilled you wrote his story, and, in case I forget to tell you, I loved every minute of it.

Jeff hurt my heart from the moment I met him. He has been used and abused by Curtis Rogers, who was quite prominent in 'Trusting Thomas', and, in fact, has played a role in a few of the books. Luckily, he's in prison, but the damage he caused is far-reaching and long-standing. Jeff is one of many young boys damaged by that excuse for a human being. Even more fortuitous, Scott sees Jeff, hears his story, and takes him to Ben, who calls in Leo and Thomas. These amazing men, these Doms, are incapable of seeing a young man suffer, and that's how Jeff ends up finding a safe place with Damien.

Damien is a Dom, although he's not been much into the scene since he lost his sub, Oliver, to cancer two years ago. The sight of Jeff's haunted eyes, rail thin body, and clothes falling apart from dirt, bring out all of Damien's protective instincts. Damien takes Jeff in, and slowly they start to work on trust, with Jeff beginning to see a therapist, and Damien helping Jeff to find a job at Severino's as a dishwasher. But Jeff's path back to feeling human isn't an easy one. He and Damien go through quite a bit, and each new revelation of his torture and abuse broke my heart. Damien is struggling here, also, because the BDSM lifestyle is not for Jeff, but the young man desperately needs something to focus on, to have a safe routine, and to help ground his mind. What Damien discovers is fascinating, and actually sent me to my computer to research. Too bad Jeff's past won't leave him alone.

I fell in love with Jeff and Damien, plus I learned some new things I didn't know. Their love story happened very slowly, as Jeff knew nothing of being treated nicely, and for him, sex equaled humiliation and pain. In fact, Jeff had been living with Damien for months before Jeff's libido woke up and noticed Damien. They were so adorable together, I literally had more than a few "awww" moments. One of the best parts of their story was that it was different from any of the previous couples’. The routine and discipline that Damien and Jeff found was a new concept for me and I so enjoyed it. Thank you, K.C. and Parker - a wonderful addition that I loved!
