This is a Series Review of Bears in Bondage
AUTHOR: Kelex
PUBLISHER: Twisted Erotica Publishing
SERIES REVIEW:
I’ve got to keep it real and say that I didn’t like this series from Kelex as much as the previous ones that I’ve reviewed. The other series has a lot more development of both characters and storyline as compared to this series. This is an older series, so maybe it shows the writer’s development over time.
That said, some of you might enjoy this series very much. It is about 128 pages (combined) of what I would consider BDSM porn. OK, erotica is the term we’re supposed to use, I suppose. But honestly I’ve read stuff in Penthouse Forum that was tamer than this one!
For what they are, the books are well enough written. As I mentioned, there is very little work done on developing the characters and storyline in my opinion. I’m giving the series a rating of “It Was Good/Average”. They were a little too much for my vanilla self, and some things were a little unbelievable, like how fast Cole became a willing slave. Also some of the sex bordered incredulity.
One final note. I really think this should be all in one book. It is a total of only 128 pages.

BLURB:
Cole’s college days might be behind him if he can’t find a new job to help cover expenses. Times are rough in the city and jobs just aren’t readily available. If he moves, he has to drop out for now and that isn’t an option. Depressed, his friends take him out for the night to lift his spirits at the new gay bar, wanting to check out their drag show. They inadvertently arrive on leather night instead.
Bastian owns the new leather shop next door to the club and he heads over to scout for someone to scratch his itch after a long dry spell. In walks fresh faced Cole and blows him away. No longer is it a simple itch to scratch, but a yearning need to claim and train the man into the BDSM world Bastian surrounds himself in.
After an amazing night and morning of passion and pain, Bastian learns Cole needs a job and offers him a position in the shop, where Bastian can keep him close … and maybe do some quality control on the new products that come in.
REVIEW:
I like stories from Kelex. You know they are going to be oh so dirty, with lots of sex, and uber-sexy men. This work that I’m reviewing today has exactly that, but unfortunately, this one has way more than the previous works I’ve read by Kelex. Very little plot and storyline development in this one…
Cole is a young man, going to college on the GI Bill. Unfortunately, that is just barely enough to get by, but not enough for luxuries like food. So Cole has been working at a clothing shop. But the clothing shop has gone out of business and things are looking more desperate by the day. Cole’s roommate has been chipping in a little more and buying all the groceries, but Cole feels like a freeloader and has only been eating enough to get by.
So here he is, desperate for a job, always hungry, and his friends convince him to come out to a drag show at a new bar with them. When the drag show turns out to have been the night before and tonight is leather night, Cole is intrigued by the hot and sexy leather-clad man at the bar who buys him a drink.
What will happen when Cole heads off to the suburbs in Bastian’s Mercedes? After a night of submission, some spankings and some hot sex…will Cole’s life ever be the same?
I liked this first “book” in the series. It kind of pushed my limits on porn content, but I’ll bravely head on to the completion of the series.

TITLE: Bears in Bondage (Books III & IV)
LENGTH: 66 Pages
BLURB:
Bastian draws Cole deeper into his world, showing Cole the pleasure in pain and the joy in submission. Bastian is unable to keep his hands off Cole, the need for his young cub grows every minute. He knows there is something special about Cole, a magnetism that won’t be ignored.
But Cole hesitates once he starts his new job at Bears in Bondage. Bastian is now his boss and it causes strings to be attached to the fun they’re having. Cole is serious about working hard and finishing his studies, and he doesn’t want to be a kept man. But he knows he’s found something in the big, strong man and Cole doesn’t want to let Bastian go, either.
Bastian has to show Cole that the lines blur in his world and that he can still be Cole’s master, even if he’s also Cole’s boss.
REVIEW:
The second book picks up directly after the end of the first book. Cole is being drawn into Bastian’s world and Cole is loving it.
For years Cole has been enthralled by the BDSM community, but never knew how to get into the world safely. His dreams have been answered by Bastian. Even his need for a job has been answered by Bastian and an opening at Bears in Bondage, Bastian’s sex toy/leather shop which just happens to be in the exact location of Cole’s former job.
That’s it for plot on this one. The rest of the book is full on porn. Almost one continuous sex scene. We have everything from butt plugs to restraints to suspension sex to a butt fucking machine.
This one wasn’t as enjoyable a read as I’ve come to expect from Kelex. The sex scenes were hot and even though some of them pushed my vanilla self into uncomfortable territory, they were well written for what they were. There just wasn’t any story to follow along, and the timeline seemed odd. If I read it correctly, all of this series happened within a few days. How does one go from being a BDSM virgin to being tied to a bed getting anally penetrated by a butt fucking machine in a couple days???
