Regan Finley’s photography makes the local music scene shine. He’s four months from his final exhibition and graduation. But instead of preparing for the party, he’s fretting about his exhibition theme — bondage and passion. There’s one person he wants to make his exhibition come to life, if he can convince his housemate to participate.

Camryn Tate plays the music that makes the young girls scream. He likes being a local rock hero. When he finds out what Regan wants for the exhibition, Cam has to make a decision. He can let Regan have his commanding way and get the pictures he needs for the exhibition, or he can walk away from the best roommate and friend he’s ever known… all because of a little ball of nylon rope.

Regan and Camryn had known each other for eighteen months and been housemates for the last six of them. While friendly, Camryn has never been keen to view Regan’s artwork, so Regan is surprised when Cam start showing a determined interest. The fact Regan has a massive crush on Cam and the soul-baring intimacy of some of his photographic pieces only makes things more difficult when Regan is determined to keep Cam’s friendship and not mess what they have up with the depth of his personal feelings.

This is a steamy friends-to-lovers style of story. I was pleased the author gave us a bit of time at the start to get a feel for Regan and Camryn’s characters, they didn’t just simply fall into bed together. I could see how they were well suited and each had been lusting after the other for quite a while. I admit I felt this story might fall a bit more into the “Happy For Now” style of relationship, not the “Happy Ever After” style mainly because both men were quite young and each only just beginning in their chosen careers and working lives. The connection and chemistry between Regan and Cam was pretty intense though and while I often don’t get the same feeling of satisfaction out of the “Happy For Now” style of relationships I felt this one might buck the trend and the two men might be able to work themselves out.

I was a little disappointed with Camryn’s freak-out when he discovered Regan wanted to practice Shibari on him. I didn’t get a good handle on why, exactly, Cam felt it so unsettled by this. Cam wanted – and was attracted – to Regan being somewhat Dominant in the bedroom and Cam considered Regan his best friend. So when Cam said he was wigged out because Regan might hurt him and he thought it was bizarre for Regan to want to tie him up, it just didn’t mesh with someone who was comfortable with some elements of BDSM and Domination in the bedroom, and a man who Cam had admitted was his closest and most important friend. This aspect of the plot passed fairly quickly, but I feel the story could have been a lot stronger had Cam’s mindset been either more strongly explained, or better fleshed out as it never really made complete sense to me and put a bit of a dampner on my enjoyment.

The sex between them is both descriptive and I found it hot and believable. There was quite a lengthy lead up between the two men so when they finally got together it was delicious and explosive. While the Shibari (bondage-style rope play) is intense and explicit, I feel this really opens up a different side of BDSM to readers. Personally, I found it interesting, fresh and a lovely flavor of different – but readers looking for something intensely kinky might not feel the same as I did.

Readers looking for a steamy and non-traditional BDSM story should find this quick read really appealing. I enjoyed it and look forward to re-reading it again in the future.

Geoff’s life is one stress after another, and being a sub is his only release. He needs what a mistress at Club Endless can give him. So when he arrives at the exclusive BDSM club and all the mistresses are engaged, he thinks he might just explode.

Deacon sees the distress Geoff is in and offers his services, but Geoff is convinced he could never go that route. Deacon knows he’s the Dom who can give Geoff exactly what he needs. Now he just needs to convince Geoff.

The only time Geoff is able to ignore the ever-increasing tension growing within him is when he’s on his knees, begging a Mistress for the release he craves. But when all the available Mistresses are booked solid one night at Club Endless Geoff’s stress levels threaten to overwhelm him. About to leave, Geoff is instead tempted by the offer of a drink from Master Deacon. Despite Geoff’s insistence that he’s not sexually interested in men, Deacon offers Geoff release in his subspace and Geoff’s need is urgent enough he cautiously agrees. Can Deacon open Geoff’s eyes to what he truly craves?

I found this a really interesting and erotic story. At first I was a little nervous this might be about Deacon showing or “proving” to Geoff that he was gay and the two men could be brilliant lovers, but I was delighted this wasn’t the manner of the writing at all. Deacon was serious when he explained a good Dom could do a scene with a sub regardless of gender, that the scene was based on dominance and submission and each party giving and receiving what they needed. That sex – while frequent and wonderful – wasn’t a necessary factor in the equation of BDSM. And this was exactly what Deacon showed Geoff. I loved that this was the main aspect of the plot and storyline. Sure, the chemistry and sexual tension between Deacon and Geoff was delicious and I felt it had a wonderful slow burn, but it was very clear to me that Deacon carefully took all his cues from Geoff and there wasn’t even the faintest hint in my mind of Deacon trying to “turn” Geoff or push him in a certain direction.

Geoff’s need for submission was also very clearly written and I felt it was a big part of the plot. I really enjoyed how Deacon could read Geoff’s signals and adjust his own plans to encompass Geoff’s needs. In that respect this was an incredibly romantic and emotional read to my mind. Deacon showed characteristics of an excellent Master, tailoring his scenes and actions to what would best suit and help Geoff. And while there was the steady bubble of sexual chemistry between them (and eventually some delicious, non-penetration sex) the sex truly was secondary, the dominance and submission, the BDSM and elements of that lifestyle along with the blossoming relationship between the two men were what was written as most critical and the sex was absolutely secondary.

For a fresh and slightly different look at a BDSM relationship and part of the lifestyle this was an excellent story and I will be eagerly keeping an eye out for more in this series. A great read and highly recommended.
