It was supposed to be a one night play session.
Zephyr Nikolaev needs a heavy BDSM scene to help him blow off steam before his big day. The day he stands at the altar with the man he loves and watches as that man marries his beautiful bride. In order to endure that, he picks up a stunning Dom for the night to help him forget his heartache.
Cash Kim had thought he’d found the sub of his dreams until their play session ended with the sub walking out the door without taking his number. Hurt by the rejection, he’s still stewing over it when he shows up at his twin sister’s wedding. And sees that sub standing with his new brother in law.
There’s still a palpable spark between them and Cash is determined to get more time with Zephyr. And maybe once the sub realizes how well they fit as play partners, he’ll be ready for more. He has no idea why Zephyr is acting so cagey when he responds so sweetly to his touch.
Zephyr can’t deny how much he wants to find someone who treats him the way he’s always dreamed of. The way Cash treats him. Zephyr’s bruised heart isn’t ready to move on, even with the Dom who gives him everything he needs.
Say Yes, Sir is a BDSM, best friend’s brother (in-law) romance with a happily ever after.

REVIEW:
I am truly enjoying this series and get more caught up in it with each book!
We originally met Zephyr at his best friend’s Josh’s wedding to Clarissa. When anticipating how hard the weekend was going to be for himself (Zephyr had been secretly in love with Josh since they were twelve) he heads to Icons, his BDSM club he belongs to for a play time to help him get out of his head. When Mistress Sue sets him up with Master Cash. Cash just needs a scene before the festivities begin for this twin sister’s wedding. When Mistress Sue suggests a scene with Zee it couldn’t be better. Zee was his perfect type but the boy flees the moment he recovers from sub-drop. When both men come face-to-face at the rehearsal dinner it’s a total shock. Zee is Cash’s sister’s new husband’s best friend. Then they wind up working at the same doctor’s office when Cash, a physician’s assistant, shows up at his new clinic. Is fate just messing with these men or will Sir prevail?
This was a harder one to read. My heart went out for Zephyr immediately. His family did such a number on him from the time he was young until the present. He endured their wrath and ridicule for so many years. Without the love and support of his lifelong best friend Josh it’s doubtful he would have survived. But that love, although much needed and appreciated, wasn’t the kind of love Zephyr had and continues to long for. His love ran deeper and forever. But Josh didn’t feel that way and he wasn’t gay so it was never meant to be. So Zeph, as only Josh called him, was to suffer unrequited love. That all changed when Cash entered the picture. However I believe Josh was a roadblock for both men. For Zephyr, it was his lifelong love and longing for the boy he could never have. For Cash, it was getting past his jealousy of his brother-in-law who held the heart of the man he loved and treasured.
It was so hard to see that the only way to function and stay basically sane was for Zephyr to become Zee and let go with the aid of a very brutal hard impact session. It was his only way to keep his promise he made years ago to Josh to not self-abuse himself. But he was so wonderful and so lovable even though he never believed he was worthy of it because of how his family abused him mentally.
The one part of felt was never resolved was the Danny threats of blackmail. I’m sure Mistress Sue, whom you knew dislike Master Daniel so much as did Master Cash, would have had a field day taking him down.
This was an extremely hard fought but well deserved HEA. Cash had to work so hard to break down all of his boy Zephyr’s walls to finally get to have his heart forever. And they both deserved forever with the love and support of the extended Kim family.
