Royal

When Royal wakes up in a hospital bed, confusion and then panic have him frantically looking around the room. His eyes settle on the older man, the huge, muscular, tattooed man who looks at him kindly—Kip. As last night comes back to him, being chased by the sons of his foster parents into the car park of a gym. Moments later, his life is made safe by only a few kind words.
Seven years later, Royal pays the debt forward by bringing home Memphis, a fifteen-year-old who was sleeping in the doorway of the gym. Determined to save the kid from a life of living on the streets, he takes him home to Kip and his husband, Robin.

Memphis

After being kicked out of my home by my family, wandering the streets to find a safe place to sleep became my sole purpose every day. The gym doorway becomes my go-to place; it’s safe thanks to the respect the owner has from the kids around here. What I didn’t expect was to be joined one night by a man who says his name is Royal, holding a McDonald’s bag that smells so good my stomach rumbles. I don’t know what it is about him that has me trusting him enough to go with him to his home.
I stayed with Robin and Kip and their adopted sons, including Royal, for three years. I knew that staying with this amazing family would never happen. How could it when I’m in love with Royal, and knowing he will never see me as anything else as his brother? My A-level results give me the chance of a university education away from him.

Seven years later
I never planned on staying away for so long. When I see an announcement of my father’s death, I know it’s the opportunity to go home. Not to see my biological family, hell no to that idea, but to see him, to find Royal and see if I’m now someone he can see as someone more than a kid.
What can persuade Royal to take him seriously?

Royal is contemporary kink that has you screaming at them to just talk to each other. Book two in the Foster Bros series is filled with annoying brothers and a need to redefine everything the two men had thought they knew about themselves and their lifestyles.

 

REVIEW:

Royal doesn’t do relationships, he has everything he needs at the BDSM club. He can be the Daddy or the Dom. The boys love him, and he goes home without obligations.
Ten years ago Royal found a fifteen-year-old boy on the streets, he took him to his foster parents’ home. Kip and Robin are the best foster parents you can wish for, they immediately took Memphis in.
When Memphis got eighteen, he left the house without notice. He had his reasons, one of them was Royal. He wanted Royal so bad, but Royal never saw him, and when he did, it was only as his little brother.
Seven years later Memphis is back. Royal noticed him at Bound, the BDSM club he visits regularly.
He’s so angry at Memphis, for leaving the family. Memphis returns at Bound. It’s his last attempt to make Royal his Daddy.
Royal wants nothing more than make Memphis his boy. Sadly, it’s not that easy.
Past experiences from both men make it a struggle to get closer. They have to find out what they really want and need.
When Memphis’s past collides with his present, things go down fast. Communication is everything, they lack that.
It was a good read. I loved the Royal and Memphis flaws, and I loved the strong bond of the foster family. I would have loved to feel a deeper connection between the main characters, I missed something. For my pleasure, there was also a bit too much relationship drama. Still, I loved this read and the concept of the foster family. The kinky brothers, combined with the BDSM community, were just great to watch.
Overall, I had a good time reading! Can’t wait for Drake’s story!
