About the author
D.S. Dane
12 books64 followersKinky, queer, erotic romance writer here. I'm a huge fan of writing about the ways in which we use kink to create our own narratives and relate to others.
I was the kid who got in trouble at school for writing steamy stories on notebook paper folded into those tight triangular footballs for ease of passing around in the halls. I wrote everything from lemons, to sexy dreams, to the choose-your-own adventure sexcapades.
Now I write steamy romance, because sometimes, it's really beautiful when an intense chemistry leads to a happily ever after (or at least a happy for now).
I can't promise you that my characters will make good choices, but I can promise you a surprisingly thoughtful and wild ride.

Lots of lovin’ in this age-gap gay romance
This author knows how to bring on the lusty feelings in her characters. In this gay romance between two lost guys, we get a lot of angst, intrigue, and most definitely lust to love. Evan Draper is a former Marine who is currently working as a bouncer at a club where he befriends Alyssa a transwoman. During the rescue of Alyssa from a jerk in the alley, he meets her roommate, Troy Afalava who is training to be an MMA fighter and is showing his prowess at that moment in that alley. As a former professional Dom, he takes the lead when the police show up. So much happens from that moment on it keeps the reader quite busy. There is a sub-plot that Troy is unwittingly a part of. Evan likes Troy but there is a considerable age difference; just guessing between 15 and 20 years. Could Troy really go for Evan? Both men suffer from self-doubts. The author ties up everything neatly at the end. You will not be disappointed if you like angsty, lusty gay romance. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through BookSirens. Love the cover too.

🌶️ darker obsessions 🌶️
This was such a dirty short book. The spice was definitely there.
Even if this is a short length story I loved how the author managed to keep you intrigued with the plot, the suspense was top and I couldn’t stop reading, I really needed to know how it would end. And it ended amazingly.
Troy and Evan relationship was a tornado, they couldn’t stop getting back together even if they didn’t want it. Loved the angst 😈.
I would like to thank BookSirens and the author for providing me an early copy.
