In his usual captivating way, writer Alex Ironrod has once again found a way to involve the reader deep into the BDSM subculture. Tarquin sets out to please an advantageous committee of leather men that Paul finds himself deeply pleased to support. Both Characters learn striking lessons when submitting to powerful desires and stimulating motivators. Each man struggles to maintain a sense of self-worth while satisfying lust-love branded deep beneath a fleshy surface. Packed with alluring scenes of flagrant passion and blood curdling rage, topped with a powerfully unexpected twist you won't anticipate.
Alex has been writing all his life. "I've produced film and theatre reviews, speeches for myself and other people, reports with different subject matter and of varying length -from two paragraphs to twenty single-space pages, letters and orders." But he only turned to fiction - and gay BDSM fiction at that - in recent years.
Alex is the pen and play name of a mature Leatherman, who grew up in the north of England and has lived for many years in Southern California.
His boots and leather fetishes go back to his teenage years, but only recently has he started to use them as a spur for stories.
Now semi-retired, he relishes life as an author, a working theatre actor/director, a researcher and a member of several charitable boards. He still enjoys riding occasionally, both Western and English, after many years as a rider/owner.
Most importantly, he continues his relationship with his wonderful partner Hank and enjoys the camaraderie and support of friends across the world. He's still working on improving his Leather topping skills with the active support of a number of generous bottoms and has continued practicing with his new single-tail whip.
Next Alex will be collaborating with a well-known male porn star on his autobiography, before trying another historical BDSM story set in Colonial times in the original American colonies and in England. He hopes readers and friends will stick around for these and many more.
He plans to catch up with you all at the next MAL, CLAW, IML, Dore Alley or Folsom Weekend in full Leather and tall boots.
The dialogue was truly horrendous. It's very cheesy & stilted. The characters are talking their way through the scenes instead of the author just writing what happened.
So I thought I was going to hate this book & move on. Nope, it hooked me in the last minute. Now I have to continue the series. Don't get me wrong, it has the 2nd worse dialogue that I have ever read (Virgin Army Boy Deflowered was the absolute worst), but then there was this really long dungeon scene with hardly any talking. And the slave was treated like a hole & I couldn't help but love it. Then the twist finally happened....on the last page....6 sentences fron the end. Now I *have* to know what happens next. It sounds like there is going to be this major power struggle - how am I supposed to resist that?!?!?!?
