Rock band guitarist and Dom Alec, likes to play the field but finds himself a challenge in the new sub in Floggers, Raoul. The guy is a tease, dances alone, and only commits to the odd scene.

This story is about a new beginning for Alec, a Dom looking for a sub who can hold his interest, and Raoul, who likes to tease, and is just waiting for the Dom who will make him want to obey. The setting is Club Floggers, and some of the characters from earlier books make a brief appearance. A nice little tease, just like Raoul, this is an entertaining story with a bit of kinky play thrown in.
If you like short, hot BDSM stories, if you enjoy reading about first encounters that may lead to more, and if you're looking for a light read with a bit of kink, then you will probably like this short story.
I've decided to review all the books in the Club Floggers series as a series rather than writing an individual review for each book. My reason for this is that I had similar feelings toward each story and they basically rated the same - 3 stars across the series. They are a collection of short stories, some a bit longer than others, with overlapping characters and set in the same club.
I was confused a little by the Goodreads list of the books in the series and from the best I can work out, the order should be: #1 Vanilla Boy - 80 pages #2 A Dom's Revenge - 22 pages #3 Curious - 50 pages #4 Beg - 31 pages #5 Wanted: Two Doms - 23 pages #6 Aiden's Training - 30 pages #7 Two Dom's: One Pup - <50 pages
I basically read these stories back to back since they were so short. Overall I enjoyed them but they were a little too short for my liking. I felt that there just wasn't enough time to understand the characters and I really wanted to see more than just the sex, to know more about the men and what drove them and their desires. I felt it just skimmed the surface of the dominant and submissive nature.
I started the first book and had some doubts. Nash, the Dom, seemed to be a total asshole and I had no interest in seeing him win Paul over. However, as the story progressed he sort of grew on me. Throughout the series I struggled to become invested in the relationships (due to the short story length?)and so decided to just read the stories for what they were without trying to look for anything too deep or to question behaviours too much.
What I did enjoy was how many of the characters, both submissive and dominant, were from rock bands. I really like books with musicians! In fact I would have liked to have seen more of the rock star world beyond the bedroom or confines of Club Floggers.
These are stories definitely suited to someone who is looking for a quick read and to just dip a toe into a world of BDSM.
Now here's the part I wasn't too sure whether to include or not - the mention of price/value for money (which I don't usually get into). But I have decided to mention it as I know some people buy books on my recommendation and I think should be fully informed.
I got the first book free from ARE - which is fabulous so thanks to the publisher and the author! - and then bought the rest of the series. I am one of those readers with a compulsion to complete a series no matter what! All up, including the free book, I spent $12.94 on the books. They were priced at $1.99 and $2.99 each, and although the website had the word count for each story I didn't pay it too much attention. So although I enjoyed reading the books, I don't think the price for a 20/30 page book is good value. But I guess you can make up your own mind!
I now publish all my m/m reviews on my blog so if you want to see all my m/m reviews in one place come visit at Because Two Men Are Better Than One!
I own this story in the Club Floggers Volume 2, which has the stories 4-6 in the series.
Club Floggers Volume 2 is not showing in Goodreads so I selected the individual books but it is available at AllRomanceEBooks.com. The entire Floggers series is available there and no longer available at B&N at all.
The stories are short, but the characters and sex are hot and sexy.
I really enjoyed these books and look forward to reading the rest of the series that is now out!
