review 1: When Tony Bianchi meets Rocco's art professor Daniel Willis for the first time, sparks fly but Daniel says it wouldn't be a good idea for them. When Tony leaves Charlie's Welcome to Town party to go check on Daniel and finds him tied to his bed, bloody, beaten, and near death, that's all it takes to bring out the protective instincts in him and make him want the man who did this to pay.Now, Daniel has had one of the most fucked up lives of all the characters that I've ever read. I felt so bad for him once you get the idea of what has happened to him and then near the end when he finally opens up to Tony and tells him what happened, my heart broke... it was decimated. I may never be able to feel good again after that. I wanted to cry but I couldn't find any tear because I n... moreeeded to keep going. Poor Daniel gets beat up so many times in this book that it was ridiculous. I loved the support system he has and how Tony showed him every second of the way the unconditional love that he had for Daniel. He showed him just how much he loved and would always be there for him, and slowly but surely Daniel began to believe him. It was heartwarming to see the transformation and even with the slight hints of bdsm and the past actions that had occured, the overall theme of gentleness and caring won out and Daniel realized that love didn't have to be associated with pain, and in the end, that was the most important thing that Tony could have done for him. This book was one of my favorites so far!! Loving this series!
review 2: This is a very good book in this series and is one of the darker stories. Professor Daniel Willis is a submissive and while looking for a dom, gets in an abusive relationship that he struggles to escape. When the relationship lands him in the ER, Tony Bianchi comes to his aid. Tony has been drawn to the artist since they first met, but Daniel was taken. When he sees the battered Daniel, all of his protective instincts kick in. This book wasn't really BDSM because while Daniel is a submissive, his submissive nature came about more from his past history of abuse. There is a very light theme of BDSM to this book. I really liked Tony and thought he was an all around great guy with the patience of a saint. A lot of the time, he put up with emotional backlash from Daniel that would have had me packing my bags. I liked watching Daniel grow and strengthen throughout the book - I didn't love him in the beginning because I prefer strong male leads, but he did grow on me more by the end. This book gets 4 stars mostly for my love of Tony. less
