Eli’s story is an interesting one. He fled LA to escape a dangerous situation and heads to Boston as a place far enough away to be safer, but he is always on edge and afraid. He had found a place to stay when he set up a space in a storeroom where he worked, then he lost it when it was discovered and Avery, the hotel’s owner, found him, sending him fleeing into the greater Boston area with nothing but the clothes on his back. He ends up at a shelter for food and encounters Ryan, one of Master Zane’s boys from a previous book, and shelter is offered with Ryan, Ty, and Master Zane. Before leaving LA, Eli had been interested in the BDSM world, and he is able to reenter that world with Ryan, where he again meets Sir Avery, a Daddy Dom, and good friend of Master Zane. The two have a connection, Avery wants to help Eli with whatever he is running from, but also with issues that can definitely be worked on with a Dom. Now Eli just needs to decide whether or not he wants to pursue a relationship with a Dom and to be a submissive.
Along with some background on BDSM through visits to Club Sensation, there is a mystery that sent Eli fleeing to Boston, and there are two men finding in each other what has been missing in their lives. Relatable, realistic characters and an interesting look into the D/s dynamic from Eli’s standpoint, with input from Ryan and explanations from Sir Avery.
I enjoy Morticia’s writing, her stories and characters keep me engaged, and reading about the BDSM dynamic and lifestyles is informative. I enjoy seeing characters from previous books crop up again in her different series, and I always have a satisfied feeling after reading her books. If you like books on the kinky side, I think many of her series would appeal to you.
