Book Blurb

One proposition, one night. Could it be the beginning of a forever after for a Master and sub?

Garson teaches poetry and literature at the local college, but what he does on his own time is much different. His need for pain and dominance is strong, but his fear of letting go is stronger. He won’t let any Dom touch him sexually, and his other hard limits are even more extreme. But lately, his one-hour-a-week sessions haven’t been satisfying him anywhere near enough.

 

Jarvis finds the bookish and reserved Garson captivating. His love of extreme pain is thrilling. But there’s also a hedonistic wanton hiding beneath the surface of the detached sub, and Jarvis aches to be the one who sets him free. After waiting for a year to crack Garson’s carefully constructed shield, Jarvis conceives of a plan.

 

Garson knows he shouldn’t give in to Jarvis’ proposition that they spend an evening getting to know each other, but the reward of unlimited time in Jarvis’ dungeon is much too tempting. Or is it Jarvis who’s the most tempting thing of all?

Book Review

Garson is definitely not the "normal" sub I have read about many times. He has many hard limits, most of them having to do with getting emotionally or intimately involved with any Doms. He goes to the club once a week, for an hour, for his pain and submission, then he goes home and takes care of his own orgasms. For a sub, he seems inordinately in control and not willing to let the reins of submission go very far. However, once I learned a bit more about him, it became very clear as to why.

Dark wavy hair, heavily lashed brown eyes, pale skin, lean but fit body, Clark Kent glasses and an unashamed pain slut—it all added up to Garson Harrisburg, Jarvis’ own personal wet dream. It was entirely possible that he was in love with the reserved, bookish and unbelievably sexy motherfucker.

Jarvis has spent a year trying to get past Garson's reserve, with absolutely no luck. When they meet one night at the club and all the rooms are heavily booked, Jarvis puts his plan in motion and offers Garson a proposition. A proposition that makes Garson very nervous, but also tempts him too much to resist. It was very interesting to observe these two men together and I enjoyed it immensely.

An intense but deeply beautiful scene occurs at Jarvis's home, in his dungeon, opening Garson up to everything he's closed off and shut down these past four years. It was truly wonderful to see and I loved that Jarvis and Garson both got exactly what they'd been dreaming of…even if they didn't know they had.
