review 1: This book almost broke me. I've read a bit of Sean Michael and this had the most sex out of any of the ones I've read. There were a lot of typical Sean Michael in this though. A sub who cried during his first enema from the embarrassment of doing it in front of his Dom. Oh, and the enema in the shower where everything goes neatly down the drain. I could swear that solid crap comes out during an enema so...I don't know what happened to that. The secret/unwanted/reluctant piercing experience. Once again the sub, Nat in this case, got pierced though he wasn't really sure he wanted to be. Pushing boundaries, my friends. Pushing boundaries. The stuttering, incomplete sentences. This comes mostly from Nat because he's the small, beautiful sub who's all overcome with the experien... moreces. The tattoo that proves the sub is claimed. At least the tattoo was agreed upon this time. Lots and lots and lots of sex. This one even goes one step further where Richmond, the Dom, has sex with Nat and keeps his come in Nat by constantly having him wear a plug. Yup. All in all I liked this story despite the fact that there wasn't any plot. Sean Michael's stuff is pure crack. Pure pure crack attack.
review 2: Completely absorbed meWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 9/10PROS: - At first I was a little thrown by the fact that the chapters are all written in first person and that they alternate between Richmond’s and Nat’s perspectives. However, their narrative voices are very different, so it’s evident who’s speaking within about 3 words at the beginning of each scene. And by the end of the story, I had grown to really love the narration. Nat’s chapters are similar to real-life submissive journals/blogs I’ve read, and Richmond’s chapters allow a much deeper look into his psyche than third-person storytelling would. I got an excellent idea of exactly how devoted he is to his sub.- This story explores various aspects of BDSM, as opposed to focusing on one or two kinks that are the characters’ favorites--and which they return to again and again. Nat is a natural submissive, but he’s also a complete beginner, so this story shows Richmond and him exploring a lot of different things together. In fact, there’s a pretty replete list that they go through, item-by-item, and decide whether they’d like to try each thing.CONS: - Because I was so interested in the characters’ journey together, I tried to read the story all in one sitting. I don’t think that was the best option, at least for me. It wore me out. Richmond is CONSTANTLY pushing Nat; one scene ends and the next begins (at least in the story--it skips over most of the sleeping and other non-scene aspects of their lives).- The story is written in present tense. I got used to it after just a few pages, but Michael slips up numerous times throughout the story and uses past tense, which makes it seem as though the character is talking about something that happened before, when he’s really talking about something happening right now. less
