BLURB:
The King of Kink has forgotten how to play.
Clint has watched his kinky friends find their matches for years, but as the local king of kink, Clint has forgotten how to play. The fire that left him with scars and took away the love of his life also turned one of his former pleasures into a nightmare that haunts him nearly every night.
But Scotland has been trying to get Clint’s attention for months, longing for a man who couldn’t be more emotionally unavailable. When one of Clint’s closest friends, Maddy, sets up a wax-play scene, Clint snaps at the sight of candles in his home and workplace.
Clint is given two choices— take an extended vacation to finally give himself time to grieve, or risk losing Unkinked and his friends.
The vacation is the easy choice, until Clint finds himself stuck at a cabin owned by the very man he’s been avoiding for months.
REVIEW:
Clint’s head is full of Ross, his late partner, by day and by nightmares. He lost him in a traumatic way.
Clint owns the kink club Unkinked, but will never scene again. He’s the king of the kink but without the throne.
Scotland is a tattoo artist and member of Clint’s club, he’s quite obsessed with Clint and has all the feels for him. Trying to get Clint’s full attention. But Clint is clear, there’s no chance for Scotland, ever.
On a forced time off slash vacation to grieve, heal, and regroup himself, he ends up at a cabin that belongs to Scotland.
What follows over the next weeks are encounters and complicated scenes.
Scotland finally understands there will never be a he and Clint, it’s painful but Scotland will be a friend instead, even a broken-hearted one.
I had the feeling I missed something between Clint dismissing Scotland at the club and their next encounter.
Also, I missed some smooth transitions between one and another chapter slash scenery change.
I’m not sure if I make sense, but that’s how it felt.
For me it was quite complicated, not in a negative way, as a reader it’s easier to know who is who and what to expect.
In this story, the dynamic shifted like a leaf in the wind. I had to adjust at moments I didn’t expect.
It was challenging and I did love the challenge!
The further the story went the better it got.
The scenery and circumstances were diverse, original and interesting. It’s maybe not so much about romance even though there is romance, it is more about the process of healing. There were moments I smiled so hard my face hurt, other times my heart cracked. The scenes were good and quite emotional.
Overall a good story and a wonderful addition to the series.
