review 1: Deeper BDSM element in this book than in its predecessorWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 9/10PROS: - The BDSM element in this book is much deeper than in Found. In the first book, Billy has to seduce Montana before convincing him to try BDSM play. In this volume, the guys are far enough into their relationship that the focus is on deepening their bond and increasing their trust in each other.- Both of the main characters flourish in this volume. Tanny starts coming to terms with his submissive nature and stops thinking of himself quite so much as a worthless screw-up. And Billy really develops as a Dom, particularly when he decides at one point that he’s ready to stop playing at the lifestyle and start delving more deeply int... moreo it.- Tanny pushes Billy and tests boundaries and still gets a little wigged out by some of the things they do together, which strikes me as realistic and natural. And Billy is gloriously patient and understanding when Tanny starts to get freaked.- I like some of the secondary characters a lot. They’re sweet and (mostly) supportive and intriguing, and I’d really like to read stories about some of them. (Sadly, I haven’t found books devoted to any of my favorite secondary characters from this series.)CONS: - I enjoy BDSM romances. There are a few things that fall under the BDSM umbrella that I’m not a huge fan of, though (although I understand that other people ARE huge fans of them). One of the things I don’t particularly enjoy reading about is orgasm denial, and this is one of Billy’s favorite games to play with Montana. Tanny doesn’t mind, really, but there were times when I thought, “Oh, come on. Give the guy a break!”- For some reason I haven’t been able to get Billy’s and Montana’s relative sizes straight in my head. I like to know which character is bigger/taller so that I can picture them in my head better, and there are some indications here and there that Tanny is the taller one--like descriptions of Billy as “compact”--and some that Billy is taller--like Montana resting at one point with his cheek on Billy’s shoulder when both are standing.Overall comments: There’s a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of this book regarding one of Billy’s friends, and I can’t decide whether I hope that the next book is about that man and his sub or more about Billy and Tanny. I’ve enjoyed the first two books in these characters’ story and hope Michael continues with them.
review 2: This would have been a much better read if the author had eliminated at least half of the repetitive dialogue between the 2 main characters. One or two,"I'm yours", you're mine" lines would have been enough, not one hundred and two. That aside, there was nice development in the character of Montana, his growth as a sub and what, exactly, that means. The sex scenes were erotic without being overly explicit. They were realistic with just the right amount of detail...not so much that they left no room for the reader to use some of his own imagination, but specific enough to be very hot. This is the only one of this series I've read. I didn't feel compelled to read another of them because of the repetativeness some of the other reviews mentioned, as well, but I gave this one a 4 because when it was good, it was very, very good and not so bad as to be horrid. less
