Dominating a powerful man isn’t easy…
Sometimes corporal punishment is needed
Kade Thompson is sick and tired of working sixty-plus hours a week. After all, he’s only an accountant, not a surgeon. For many he’s considered powerful and a sought-after catch, yet he hasn’t obtained all he hungers for. However, earning a six-figure income has allowed him to indulge in his every desire, including toys and rather kinky bouts of sin. He also enjoys an on-again, off-again push-and-shove relationship with his boss, Trevor Willis. While the sex is passionate, he craves being dominated by the six foot six god, but Trevor doesn’t seem interested. Tired of playing games, he’s ready to break off their relationship until an invitation to meet for a drink at The Peeping Hole—a mysterious and very exclusive club—has him more than curious.
When he finds out the club offers every aspect of kink, he’s breathless with excitement. As Kade waits for Trevor’s arrival, he’s given an offer he can’t refuse and one that might sate his every craving—if he will submit to the man behind the mask. Unfortunately what goes on behind the hallowed doors is required to stay a sensuous mystery. But can they keep up their end of the bargain and one forged in a touch of black magic? Only Alexander knows. Ssshhh… No peeping.
I am Alexander—a teacher, a scoundrel, a voyeur and a true entrepreneur. In my world there’s little left to the imagination. That is if you dare to taste what only I can offer. Welcome to The Peeping Hole, where every fantasy you’ve ever desired will come true. Leave your inhibitions at the door and join us. But you must remember, whatever happens here stays here, and trust me, I will know…
REVIEW:
I have never been so completely baffled by a story as I am right now after reading this book. The great thing is the fact that it is was less than 50 pages so it goes really quick. Also the writing is not horrible. It’s pretty good but the story, the plot, the characters….I’m left with a “what the F” expression?
So I’ve pinpointed my biggest issue with this story and it’s the fact that I cannot pinpoint one emotion other than lust between these two men. I wanted to feel that care and concern that they seem to feel for each other, but I don’t. I honestly…DID. NOT. GET. IT.
Kade and Trevor are boss and employee. They’ve been going at it pretty regularly for awhile now. Kade thinks Trevor just wants to keep things casual but Kade desires a serious D/s committed relationship. He doesn’t thing Trevor is dominate enough to satisfy his needs, so he’s ready to move on.
Randomly, one night Trevor asks Kade to meet him at an exclusive club. Surprisingly this was a very secretive BDSM club….and this is where stuff goes weird. Real weird.
I appreciated Kade embracing his submissive role, but the whole Razor thing I did not get. Trevor and Kade don’t seem to have any emotional connection at all, this whole scenario boggles my mind. I did not get how in one moment Kade thought Trevor had NO dominant traits then the next he’s the master Dom???
Then there’s Alexander…? So, right at the end we’re going to throw some strange paranormal element to this already confusing book…?
I honestly did not get it…I didn’t…..
Maybe if this was a little bit longer things could have been explained better but as it is, it’s not good, I just think it could have been so much better but things are all over place, just disappointing, IMO.
