Book Blurb

Lance Packet just got a contract to shoot an erotic BDSM deck of cards; the only problem is finding models. So far everyone he’s interviewed thinks he’s looking for sex for hire. Then in walk three perfect examples of men: Tide and his friends, Tyrone and Bran.

Tide Germaine is a model and a Dom. He and his best friend Tyrone opened The Iron Eagle Gym as a place for gay men in the lifestyle to work out, do scenes, and congregate with like-minded men. The modeling is just another job for Tide, but it soon turns into a grand seduction as Tide falls for the shy, self-conscious photographer. The problem is Lance doesn’t believe he’s in Tide’s league, and he’s not at all sure about the Dom and sub thing.

It’s not going to be easy, but Tide’s going to have to convince Lance he belongs at Tide’s side as both lover and sub.

First edition published by Dreamspinner Press, December 2015.

Book Review

Any new relationship is interesting and comes with its challenges, hopes, and deep feelings. Add BDSM of some kind to it, from mild to intense, and the picture becomes far more complicated - especially when one partner is far less experienced than the other. In the first book of what promises to be a great new series by Sean Michael, Lance and Tide don’t just have an unusual first meeting, but quickly delve into an exciting and somewhat adventurous exploration of what promises to be an interesting relationship. ‘The New Boy’ is fun to read, has great characters (both main and secondary), and is very, very hot. It’s also a great book for “BDSM beginners” or those who prefer to read about the lighter side of D/s play.
 
Lance is a photographer, and his newest client wants a set of BDSM cards with custom-made images. The idea made me smile, but when the most recent models Lance is interviewing walk in and Lance almost faints, I began to grin. The three men are professional models, well muscled, and clearly into the lifestyle. They are also good friends who like to work together, and seem to have no shame about exposing their bodies for the various positions Lance needs them in –for the photographs, of course. Tyrone and Bran are obviously a couple, and Tide shows more than a hint of interest in Lance. With Lance being as shy as he is and not at all knowledgeable about anything other than vanilla sex, my anticipation increased. Lance has no idea what to expect, but he is physically and mentally excited from the start.

Tide co-owns a gym, but he is also a model, and this newest assignment is right up his alley. He brings his best friend, Tyrone, and Tyrone’s sub, Bran, with him for what promises to be an exciting shoot. But when they arrive at Lance’s studio he takes one look at Lance and decides he is the cutest photographer ever. Tide being a Dom, he then sets out to “conquer” Lance’s heart and obedience. It isn’t easy, but Tide is determined and patient. The way he gradually introduces Lance to some D/s play, additionally courts him by taking him on dates and helps him become more self-confident makes for a very sweet and more than hot read. Their contract negotiation, when the time comes, is one of the cutest I have ever read. Tide stole my heart because he isn’t just a great Dom, but also an amazing man.

If you like reading about men who fall in lust and love at first sight, if a BDSM beginner learning about what he likes and what he doesn’t sounds interesting, and if you’re looking for a read that is undeniably hot, full of sexy explorations, and very sweet, then you will probably like this novel. I adored it.
