Erik’s adolescent crush becomes a very adult relationship at his high school reunion.
Seeing his former bullies starstruck is definitely on Erik Stevens’ agenda for his high school reunion. Hooking up with someone is not. He has resolved to end the meaningless sex that has dotted his life, even though it fed his need to dominate. Now he is looking for a man—a submissive—for a relationship that will last forever.
But Erik hasn’t counted on Kyle.
For ten years, Kyle Lincke has cursed his repressed sexuality that, in high school, kept him from acting on his crush…Erik. As soon as he receives Erik’s RSVPed ‘yes’ to the reunion, Kyle begins working up the courage to finally act on his desires, difficult for him to do following a disastrous break-up.
But six weeks of exploration into BDSM and small steps toward a deeper relationship are thrown into jeopardy when Erik’s fame threatens their bond—and Kyle’s fragile psyche.
REVIEW:
Lily Michaels is a new to me author and I was excited to get a chance to read this story, which is the first in the Improbable Bonds series. This story has low angst and light BDSM.
In this story we find Erik and Kyle reuniting ten years after high school. Erik is a famous Hollywood actor and Kyle is a building contractor in their hometown. After years of being bullied through high school Erik has discovered his need for a D/s relationship and begins the search for a submissive. Kyle is reeling from his breakup but has secretly been crushing on Erik since high school. I love the character development in this story, as there is a real and immediate chemistry between the main characters. I enjoyed the world building in this story and it brought back memories from high school. I always enjoy trying to figure out how the author is going to get the main characters to their happy ever after. I was not disappointed in the journey; Lily takes us on in this story. As traumatic events threaten to separate Erik and Kyle for good, will they survive? Will Kyle, who has insecurity issues, be able to handle Erik’s fame? Will Erik find the submissive he has been looking for, in Kyle?
There is only one way to find out, you must read this story. If you are looking for a light, quick read this is the book for you. I look forward to reading more stories from Lily Michaels
