BLURB:
Tai wishes Master Lucas wasn’t such an adamant Top, but he’s also crushing on the sweetly submissive Elliot. Could he have it both ways?
Tai has hit a wall in life. From all outward appearances, he’s the guy who has everything—looks, personality and money. But the modeling gigs are drying up and he still hasn’t found that special someone to call his own. The part-time work at Kiss of Leather is quickly becoming full-time to prevent the drain on his dream-business savings.
Elliot fell for the stunning Tai from almost the moment he met him. If he wasn’t so self-conscious about the weight he’s recently put on, maybe he could work up the nerve to make a move. However, not only is he a virgin who’s never done a scene before working in a BDSM club, but he’s also sure that Tai has a thing for Master Lucas. There’s no way he could ever compete with the handsome silver fox.
When Master Lucas confesses to Tai that he doesn’t only see him as a hookup and offers him a contract, there are a ton of considerations. They both realize that serious compromises would have to be made for them to have a relationship. But what if they found a third, a sub who could bottom for Tai and also do TPE with Master Lucas? Once the idea takes hold, Tai knows just the perfect boy for them both. Even better? He’s right there at Kiss of Leather, and Tai can’t wait for Elliot to turn them all into a throuple.
Reader Advisory: This book contains a scene of assault, and attempted sexual assault.
REVIEW:
Oh my word! This is book #8 in this series and it was absolutely wonderful! Just when I think this series couldn’t possibly get any better, it surpasses my expectations. This book, this series (as well as all of her other works) is so well written, that I couldn’t put it down once I started reading.
I’ve waited quite some time for these characters’ stories. Tai fascinated me from the first time his character appeared in the earlier books (I cant recall which one at the moment). He was supposed to be a submissive but I he didn’t present to me as one. Or he didn’t present to me as a FULL sub. He cane off as more of a switch and I was right. He’s bold and a little forceful and beautiful. He’s confident without being conceited. That’s what I like most about his character. He’s more than what everyone sees. He’s intelligent as well as ambitious. And he’s got a thing for both Lucas and Elliot. That puts him in a situation where he’s feels that he’s too much of a top personality for Master Lucas and he’s not top enough for the sweetly submissive and innocent Elliot.
I adore Elliot’s character. His confidence has taken a bit of a dip due to his weight but he’s a beautiful man who doesn’t see just how beautiful he is. Both inside and out. He really has a thing for Tai but lacks the confidence to approach him.
Lucas is in a bit of a quandary himself over the situation. He wants Tai but feels that Tai probably won’t fully commit to being the submissive he needs. So the idea of a third appeals to him, it makes sense. So, Tai brings Elliot into the fold.
Like every relationship, the ménage has its challenges. There are demons from the past that have to be worked out and they have to work on fitting together.
As with every book she writes, she has a wonderfully diverse cast of characters that she always, ALWAYS writes with them with dignity and respect. Regardless of race, sexuality, gender or ethnicity, I’ve always felt comfortable reading this author’s work.
This series is a definite must read. The characters are rich and diverse, the storylines, dialogues and editing are always on point. The covers are always appealing; the entire package is fabulous.
This book, this series is highly recommended.
