REVIEW:
“Dan was the sausage to his bun.”
This starts off as a clever mind fuck. I initially thought Kyle’s kink was going to go really, really dark, but the authors pull what seems to be a clever bait and switch. Unfortunately they dilute the fun by apologizing for it too much it. The adage ‘don’t bite off more than you can chew’ comes to mind. ahem.
Sex in a dog cage. That Kyle does it again with his freaky, frolic-y fetishes.
He takes advantage of his mom’s dog sitting business to get his game on. While the setting is novel, this doesn’t have the bite and tension of the authors’ other short, Clown’d, where we first meet Kyle and his boyfriend, Dan. That one was great fun, and it worked better even though it also had me wishing for a darker read. Here again, the POV is Kyle’s but it feels like a telling of the action, the passion is there but it doesn’t quite grab me. Kyle’s perviness is the lure but it was the dog cage that added some fizz. That, and Dan.
Granted, Kyle has some singular sexual peccadilloes, but Dan steals the show with his no-holds-barred answer to another longtime fantasy. What a thoughtful, creative boyfriend who gives special meaning to ‘playtime’.
Will I read more of this dynamic duo’s adventures? Yes, yes, I will. I like these guys a lot, and their… um, imaginations. I know the authors can do right by them.
