BLURB:

Wade is a throwaway, forced into prostitution at fourteen and living on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Nearly four years later, and now calling himself Trick, he’s still struggling to survive. While huddled in a doorway on a cold rainy morning, he thanks his lucky stars when an expensive Mercedes pulls up and rolls down a window.

Phoenix, known as Master P, may be a big intimidating Dom, but he has a soft spot for vulnerable young men. When he sees a homeless kid trembling in the cold, he has to stop and pick him up. What he finds is a boy with a naturally submissive nature and a damaged soul. As he begins to train the boy at the online BDSM club where he’s employed, DOMZ.com, they form a fast and explosive combination.

When Trick begins to fall for his big Dom, Phoenix is forced to tell him that this is only play. The resulting fallout will shake Phoenix to his very core. Is this chance encounter doomed for failure or can the two men find a balance?

REVIEW:

This first book in this series of short stories tells the story of Wade, a young homeless LGBT youth who was kicked out of his home at a young age when he was caught with another young man in his hometown.

Fate has put him in the path of Ivan, aka Phoenix or Master P, as he is known in the BSDM world. Ivan is a Dom for Domz.com, an online BSDM website run by his best friend and owner.

Wade’s story is an sad, unfortunate and all too common one of a young man thrown onto the streets for being gay. Forces into a life of prostitution, homelessness and despair. He does what he has to do to survive.

The story flowed along nicely and the supporting cast of characters were fascinating. This was indeed the beginning of a lovely relationship developing between a Dom and his sub. The BSDM scenes were hot and done rather well I thought.

The only glitch I found in the book was the ending. It felt a bit unfinished. These two characters had issues that I felt should have been resolved at the end, particularly with a novella. But in all, it was a nice little story to get into to.
