BLURB:
After four tours in Afghanistan, Warren Groves couldn’t settle into civilian life. For the last 12 years, he’s survived by working odd and often illegal jobs for some of Denver’s less fortunate. His personal life is equally unsatisfactory. He can barely remember the last time he had sex, let alone the last time he got to use somebody hard and rough, the way he likes. Fate intervenes when a favor for a friend leads him to a pretty, young rent boy named Taylor Reynolds.
Taylor’s spent the last few years on his own, working as a hustler, going home with anybody who’ll give him a warm meal and a place to sleep. He enjoys having a bit of force used against him, and he makes Warren an offer he can’t refuse – all the sex he wants, as rough and dirty as he likes, in exchange for room and board.
At first, Warren thinks he’s struck gold. Taylor’s the perfect roommate – he cooks, he cleans, and he’s dynamite in the sack. But Taylor has some dark demons in his head and some even darker cravings. Falling for somebody as volatile as Taylor is dangerous enough, but when Taylor’s urges turn truly self-destructive, it’ll be up to Warren to decide just how far to let things go.
REVIEW:
Warren is a big and tough guy out of the military. His past dictates what he does in the present, which is being the security guard for the not so legal working women around hotels. Taylor needs place to stay since he didn’t stay long at the last place which happened to be Warren’s friend. Things go great, Taylor cooks, cleans, makes coffee, gives Warren some of the best sex of his life… Warren is really starting to like Taylor being around and starts to fall for him. But Taylor has some pretty big demons. Demons that no other guy has been able to deal with in the past. But Warren will do almost anything to keep Taylor sane. But is Warren willing to do anything for the rest of his life?
I tell you what, this book kept me guessing and my eyes and mouth were found wide open quite a few times throughout these 12 hours of this book. I’m glad I never caught a fly. Just when you think that Taylor has gotten out of control he gets even more out of control. The book is dark but it’s not depressing. AAAND let me tell you that the book is hot as hell and way more different then I would have ever thought. I have definitely never read or listened to a book like this.
Fair warning though this book is very sexually graphic and Taylor is a very touchy-feely type person. There are scenes of domestic abuse because of Warren’s job. And Taylor does have some sort of mental “thing”. I wouldn’t say illness, but darkness and demons. When it comes out things get a bit violent especially the first time Taylor has one of his episodes. Warren can’t give him what he wants and what he says that he needs. So he ends up getting ahold of his friends, and their friends. Warren sticks by his side and tries to go through a few different coping mechanisms to help Taylor.
This is probably one of the best Marie Sexton books that I’ve read so far and I haven’t read too many yet. But if this book has anything to say about her other books I’m sure that they are all amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard John Solo do a younger more effeminate voice like he did in this book. And he did an amazing job. His diction and how he says words, sentences, and paragraphs, is always on point in this book. I never have to sit and think about which character is talking. Marie Sexton and John solo both helped paint a picture of Taylor’s and Warren’s world so raw and yet so beautiful at the same time.
The book has given me and hopefully others insight to a whole different mentality of thinking and a different type of BDSM that’s not just whips and handcuffs or doms & subs. And it also does have a very HEA! I love Warren and Taylor together and Taylor is beautifully written and beautifully portrayed. The book definitely had me on my toes the whole time and I definitely wanted more of them when it was over.
