Fans of the iconic Deviations series will fondly recall Bradford as the beloved owner and Master of the elite and exclusively male BDSM club that anchors the series, and also as the wise man who introduced Tobias and Noah.
Dominant Bradford’s story is one defined by sudden opportunity, unimaginable heartbreak, and new-found purpose. His calling is to provide a safe and supportive environment for men in the lifestyle. Bringing Doms and subs together is his superpower, yet he feels fated to be alone himself.
In this prequel to the series, you’ll not only discover Bradford’s own history, but also how Bradford is first drawn to Nikki, a beautiful and hungry young man living on the streets, and the unexpected ways Bradford grows and changes while helping Nikki understand a world of strange, new desires.
Deviations readers already know outcome of Bradford and Nikki’s journey together. Soft Limits is a deep-dive into Bradford’s story, into what makes the Dom tick, and how he ended up with ownership of the club. It also introduces Nikki, the sub that tests Bradford’s patience, steals his heart, and soothes his soul.
Hey everyone! I’m here to talk about my new books, Soft Limits! Soft Limits is a prequel in the timeline of the Deviations Series that can be read at any point along the way, or as a stand alone as well. There are no spoilers for the series.
I’m so excited to have Soft Limits out finally, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it’s being received. Deviations has been around a while so rather than go into detail about it, I’ve got some random trivia for you!
10 random facts about the Deviations Series
1. Bradford doesn’t reveal a last name in any of the books, including Soft Limits.
2. Coincidentally (or not) neither does Nikki.
3. The series is set in a fictional city, but we based it on Boston.
4. Chris and I were curious, but knew next to nothing about BDSM before we started writing the series.
5. Chris wrote Tobias and Phan, and I wrote Noah and Bradford.
6. That said, Bradford’s very first appearance was actually written by Chris.
7. Safe Words isn’t really part of the series, it’s like an extra long epilogue.
8. The Deviations Series was Maxx Power’s first MM and his first BDSM audio narration.
9. When Chris and I were writing the series originally, we had no intention of publishing it.
10. Even though I knew the story, and had known all of Bradford’s background for years, Soft Limits took me four years to write.
Hope you found some of those things interesting. Thank so much for reading!
JODI spent too many years in New York and San Francisco stage managing classical plays, edgy fringe work, and the occasional musical. She, therefore, is overdramatic, takes herself way too seriously, and has been known to randomly break out in song. Her men are imperfect but genuine, stubborn but likable, often kinky, and frequently their own worst enemies. They are characters you can’t help but fall in love with while they stumble along the path to their happily ever after.
For those looking to get on her good side, Jodi’s addictions include nonfat lattes, Malbec, and tequila any way you pour it. She’s also obsessed with Shakespeare and Broadway musicals. She can be found wearing sock monkey gloves while typing when it’s cold, and on the beach enjoying the sun and the ocean when it’s hot. When she’s not writing and/or vacuuming sand out of her laptop, Jodi mentors queer youth and will drop everything for live music. Jodi lives near New York City with her beautiful wife, and together they are mothers of dragons (cleverly disguised as children) and slaves to an enormous polydactyl cat.
