BLURB:
A short erotic romance.
Gary’s got a problem with his new hire, Tim. He’s allowed the young, attractive guy to get under his skin, and now he finds that he wants more than just a casual fling. After an incredible night, all he can think of is having more of that innocent flesh, delving deeper into Tim’s submissive tendencies. But first they have to make it through the work day. A construction site is no place for a gay love affair.
Love hasn’t been kind to Gary, who prides himself on being a gruff bear, always in charge, always on his own. As he starts to train young Tim as his sub, however, Gary must decide whether to keep it just sex, or actually allow himself to feel something more.
Warnings for BDSM, submission and domination, clamps, spanking, anal play and orgasm control.
REVIEW:
I didn’t read the first book in this series, I didn’t realize when I picked it for review that was the same couple. But I don’t imagine I missed much. This is a really short story, only 20 pages long, and I’m having a hard time rating and reviewing something so short!
The plot is pretty basic. Gary is a manager at a construction site, and Tim is his employee, or at least an employee working under him. They seem to have just started messing around the week before. Gary is a Dom, Tim is new to submitting, but seems to be a natural. I got the empression their one time was nice together, but Gary didn’t want it to become a “thing”. After spending the morning staring at Tim’s ass, he gives him a note and a toy… They meet up later and have some naughty sex!
That’s it! It was good for what it was, I liked the interaction between Gary and Tim, Gary tries to be a cold Dom but I think he’s a bit of a teddy bear at heart. Tim is new and innocent, a nice little snack for Gary to play with. Gary gives him some good instructions, and praises him, giving him a look at what could be between them. There is some nipple play, a butt plug, a cock ring, some orgasm control, and a moment of understanding at the end that could lead to more. I liked the writing, the dialog flowed well, and the sex scene worked really nicely. I liked the characters together, I can see some potential there. I would certainly buy another book from this author!

Sorry but £1.99 for 20 pages is waaaaay too expensive! I know it’s free if you are a Amazon Prime member, but as I’m not, I’m going to have to pass.
