Sealed with a Kink
review 1: Needed more depth to satisfy meWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 5/10PROS: - This is a kink I haven’t read much about, and I enjoyed seeing something so out of the ordinary.- Jack’s actions are written in such a way that he is portrayed similarly to a skittish horse, which I found fascinating.- At first, I was apprehensive about the fact that Jack’s former partner arranged to have Jack immersed in such an unfamiliar situation without his permission. But the author alleviated my concerns quickly with a few well-timed comments about how it was the man could have known that the arrangement was something Jack wanted.CONS:- The story felt a bit claustrophobic to me in that there are almost no secondary characters. Once Jack get... mores dropped off at the barn, it’s just him and Daniel. I think seeing some other people who are into the same kink would have gone a long way toward alleviating Jack’s anxiety over what he considers to be an abnormal longing in himself. On top of that, there’s very little depth to Daniel because the story is short, it’s told from Jack’s POV, and there aren’t any in-depth conversations through which we see the men really getting to know each other.- Much as I enjoyed reading about a kink with which I’m mostly unfamiliar, the level of detail was frustratingly sparse for me. Daniel says at one point, for instance, “You’re clearly a colt. That, I gleaned for myself, though, he’d put in ‘colt/pony boy’. You’re a colt, though, through and through…” and then Jack thinks, “I don’t even know what the difference is.” Well, I didn’t know the difference between “colt” and “pony boy” either, and the story never explained it to me.Overall comments: There’s the start of something interesting here, but 708 Kindle locations isn’t enough to adequately explore a kink that’s brand new for someone, especially if his initial exploration of that kink is a full 2 weeks of 24/7 immersion. I wanted to see a bit more of the exploration itself, but I also wanted to see what happens when the characters go back to their everyday lives.
review 2: I'd give this 4 stars but the subject of the story makes me slightly uncomfortable so I'll stick with 3 stars.It's my first foray into this kind of territory. I have to say Mr. Michael made it interesting and sensual in some way. However, as much as I was able to get into Jack's head, I was still weirded out by the actual act of playing the pony/colt part. More so when the author was clever enough to use vocabulary reserved for horses: prancing, stomping. I was enticed by the sensuality of their proximity, the attention that Daniel lavished on Jack.So the 3 stars go for Mr. Michael succeeding in introducing me to this new world and not have me balk at it. less

Too short. A great scene. I wish the author would spend time developing this story further.

Much edgier than typical Sean Michael. Pleased to see that...
