BLURB:
Kyle’s best friend Marshall resurfaces and he’s in a lot of trouble. Can the men at Kiss of Leather convince a former Dom to take on the mouthy sub?
Master Derek and his new sub Corey have signed a contract and enjoy their first scene together. The love between them is strong and Derek is as protective of his boy as ever. The only thing left that would make their world perfect would be to bring Corey’s ex-Dom and abuser to justice.
The legal firm that represents Kiss of Leather is charged with hiring a private investigator to flush out the man who orchestrated Corey’s gang rape. Stone Manning is hesitant to take the job, though. He was once wrongly accused in the death of a sub and swore never to enter a BDSM club again. But he owes attorney Glen Sharp his life after the lawyer got him acquitted.
Their meeting is disrupted when Kyle’s missing friend Marshall calls for help. Master Josh promises to help the mouthy Marshall get back on his feet under one condition—Marshall must sign a six-month D/s contract as a full-time sub and prove he can fully submit to a man as well as learn to respect those around him.
Stone Manning suddenly finds himself charged with taming the brattiest sub ever. In truth, the bigger the brat, the more his heart races with excitement. Marshall promises to be just the type of challenge to inspire Stone to be a Master again. As Stone learns more about him, he sees the pain that Marshall has always tried to numb with drugs and alcohol. Stone also sees a man he could love —if he can ever reach him.
In the meantime, Stone and his investigative partner, Chuck, continue to search for Corey’s attacker. The abusive Dom appears to have gone underground. But what they don’t realize is that the closer they get to their prey, the more dangerous he becomes.
REVIEW:
Master Derek has just signed a permanent contract with his new sub Corey. It has taken a lot of care and intensive therapy for Corey to be able to even do a scene with his new Dom. Corey’s ex-Dom ‘Tony’s’ only concern was and is with himself and his own pleasure. For the entirety of their “relationship” Corey suffered both mental and physical abuse, then for reasons known only to himself Tony orchestrated the gang rape of Corey but Corey managed to escape and ran to his friend Kyle. After the contract signing ceremony, Master Derek and the other Dom’s who happen to be the owners of the new BDSM club Kiss of Leather, collectively decided that the time has come to find Tony.
Stone Manning is the private investigator hired by the Kiss of Leather owners to find Tony. It’s after his first meeting to discuss the job that Stone meets Marshall Dean, Kyle’s best friend who has been on a downward spiral for the past several years. Marshall has been the consummate party boy and still isn’t ready to acknowledge the fact that it really isn’t a good look on a twenty-nine-year-old. When Marshall is arrested for having ecstasy on him his only hope of staying out of prison is his ex-Dom Josh. After Josh bails him out of jail decides for Marshall’s own good he is going to sign a six-month D/S contract as a full-time sub in an attempt to make him face what he has been doing not only to himself but his friends as well. There is something about Marshall that appeals to Stone the moment he lays eyes on him. Although Stone hasn’t been in the BDSM scene for years because of an incident he can’t help but admit his fascination with Marshall. Stone had an unequalled reputation for dealing with bratty subs and now he’s been virtually handed one on a plate.
As Stone has just taken on a new sub he delegates the job of investigating Tony to his investigative partner Chuck. While Stone and Chuck are looking for Tony, Stone is busy teaching Marshall not only about himself but that he is deserving of love and trust. I really wanted to love this book because I love Morticia as an author but for me even though Marshall developed as a character and you were there every step of the way, there was very little development of Stones character. It truly breaks my heart because everything was there but it feels like the ball was dropped.
