review 1: I love Kim Dare. She always has a way of bringing me into her books no matter how short or long they are. They are all easy, fun reads while at the same time intense and hot. I absolutely love them and this one is no exception. I loved how Alasdair was jaded from his past and I loved that Harland was patient enough and determined enough to help Alasdair get passed his hurt instead of just running for the hills. They make a very cute couple and I enjoyed this story very much.
review 2: This is a book that made me think, like so many of Kim Dare's books, about the nature of submission. The way the characters were drawn just made it obvious how easy it is for idiots, pseudo-Dominants and worse to take advantage of men who need to submit - and have no choice but to... more trust them.Alasdair was hurt by a previous relationship - if you can call it that. We don't find out many details, but what is said made me shudder. The amazing thing is that he still goes ahead and tries again; it showed how deeply ingrained his need to submit really is. Anyone who reads this and sees what goes on in Alasdair's head has got to understand that submission at this level has absolutely nothing to do with weakness.Harland takes a while to catch on, to understand what may be the reason for Alasdair's hesitation. Once he does, though, he is determined to show him that not all Doms are bastards. I may disagree with some of his methodology, but it does seem to work.If you like stories that make you think about the nature of BDSM and the men who are interested in it, this is a good one. There are only three major scenes to the story, and much of what makes it great can be found between the lines. I really liked being such an active part of what was going on. less
