review 1: Story that looks at an unusual aspect of BDSMWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10PROS: - I always enjoy reading stories in which the sub struggles with his desire to submit. It seems like such a victory to me once he finally does, and especially once he admits to himself (and his Dom) that he enjoys it.- This author is good at conveying character changes that take place gradually over a long period of time. He writes short scenes, many of which depict mundane, everyday occurrences, and shows at least a tiny bit of forward movement in each scene.- Luttrell is interested in aspects of BDSM that are a little off the beaten path (an enema is one of his favorite things to do to his subs, for example). I didn’t find those scenes h... moreot, necessarily, but I did find it refreshing to read about something different.CONS: - As much as I came to appreciate Luttrell’s obvious joie de vivre, his constant laughing, particularly at the beginning of the story, got a little annoying. Especially since he’s a Top and “giggles” repeatedly (that word appears probably 10 times in the first 5 pages).- I appreciate stories in which both men are not perfect physically. Not everyone’s beautiful, so not all stories should be about beautiful people. Some of Michael’s descriptions make Luttrell seem far from sexy, though: the word “gaunt,” in particular, is not something that makes me think happy things. It brings to my mind a skeleton with skin stretched over it. The fact, also, that they do their scenes on a surgical table makes Luttrell come across now and then as a mad scientist.
review 2: As usual another unique look as a very specific kink. And it didn't freak me out at all :)It was interesting to see how Lutrell "handled" Dent, even though Dent was there supposedly as the Dom, only to find that Lutrell was treating him like a sub. And the help and devotion that Lutrell showed after Dent is kidnapped and returned, broken. Lutrell is there to help him find himself after the horror he had been through.This is one of my favorite's of the series as it seemed to focus more on the relationship between the two men. less
