Book Blurb

Langdon knows that there are certain men that are, and always will be, off limits to him. At the top of that list is Ivan, his best friend’s younger brother. Still, when Ivan edges toward coming out of the closet, Langdon quickly finds himself getting roped into indulging the younger man’s curiosity.

 

Cute and smart in equal measure, Ivan’s used to getting his own way. When he sets his sights on Langdon, he’s not above being sneaky when it comes to getting his attention or overcoming any resistance the other man might have to the idea of doing whatever he wants.

 

Ivan’s been indulged by almost everyone in his life for as long as he can remember. Will Langdon be just another name on that list of people who rush to do his bidding? More to the point, is that what Ivan really wants, or would he much prefer to be the one subject to another man’s whims?

Book Review

This is one of the most fun stories about "topping from the bottom" I have come across in a while. The thing is, the situation isn’t limited to the sub sort-of-trying to do it once, or even in a few cases. No, Ivan has this whole strategy figured out, basing it on the fact he has always gotten his way with everything else, so, surely, Langdon will behave as expected, right? Wrong!

 

Langdon is a true Dom. He is also trying not to fall for his best friend's younger brother, but Ivan just pushes all of his buttons in the right way. I loved watching his inner fight, his attempts to rationalize doing what Ivan wanted. Temptation is certainly at serious levels and their encounters are a lot of fun. But when Langdon finds out the truth? He is not amused. A pissed-off Dom is not what Ivan wanted – however, it may just be what ne needs.

 

Ivan is a conniving little tactician, all determined to get into Langdon's bed. The fact that he goes about it in exactly the wrong way only dawns on him when Langdon figures him out. At first Ivan is just upset about being caught, but as he sees the effect on Langdon, and listens to the man's explanations, he understands his mistake. I had to admire him for the way he accepts the consequences of his behavior.

 

If you're looking for a good example of what 'topping form the bottom' looks like, and what its consequences are when the Dom catches the sub at it, if you enjoy a bit of subterfuge and manipulation, and if you like the hot in-and-out-of-bed action two hot men figuring out their relationship can offer, you will probably like this short book.
