BLURB:
I’ve been keeping secrets from my boss. I have to. Because how the hell do you tell a straight man that you’ve been in love with him for years?
If he found out, everything would collapse, and I’ve worked so hard to hold my life together, all these pieces that I don’t deserve: a home, a position, trust. But it’s only getting harder because he keeps watching me, keeps touching me—and I can’t handle it.
I try to tell myself that it’s in my head, but it’s not. Something’s changed between us, and I don’t understand. I don’t know what to do, and I’m terrified that I’m going to do something really, really stupid.
I just have to lock down. I’m good at that. I’ve been doing it for years. I don’t need anything. I swear I don’t. But then he touches me again, unnecessarily, like he’s trying to figure something out, and everything I tell myself I don’t need, everything I can’t have anyway, feels very much like everything I can’t live without.
REVIEW:
Wow, I am literally blown away. I am addicted to this author’s writing, literally could not out the book down, just one more chaptering my way through the night till dawn broke and I had finished. Gosh, I’m trying to wrap my head around what I want to say first.. do I talk about the tightly packed storytelling, where the plot of mafia factions fighting for dominance play heavyweight political games, do I talk about the incredibly hot d/s dynamic these two explore, the primal play tones that ebb and flow into something deep, with more feeling… or I could also talk about how the emotional roller coaster isn’t dramatic but so beautiful as Vitali is shocked into discovering his attraction to Quinn or the level of resistance that Quinn has where he can’t believe himself worthy of any love. I could also instead put forth how utterly moved I am by the abiding found family tones that make up that household, how epically all for one they all are.
Vitali and Quinn’s story was an absolute freaking joy to read. The best kind of story, one that doesn’t let you go. I am so impressed by how much the author develops in this story both from a plot and a relationship standpoint and yet you never feel rushed reading it just intensely curious as to how it’s all going to pan out
I havnt read book one but I had absolutely no trouble following along, I think Roman and Lucas’s story has concluded earlier even though they are very much part of this one there is a seamless transition allowing for Vitali and Quinn to take centre stage. All of Quinn’s pining was absolutely sublime but my heart broke for him, for what he had been through, what he had to heal from to be able to move forward with Vitali. I loved Vitali’s single minded determination to get Quinn, his protectiveness, possessiveness. His ability to see Quinn was so swoony. I think this is an author who is going to become a favourite- I am definitely going back to read book 1.
