Touch of Leather #1
If You Let Me
When Jasper is invited by his cousin to a kink club, he's all too eager for a chance to try something new, especially when Vincent, a gorgeous man in a suit, offers to bring his fantasy to life. After an amazing scene together and his first true taste of kink, Jasper is hooked. What starts as a one-night-a-week exploration quickly turns into a request for more and a contract between them.
Having given up on finding a sub for himself after his last disaster of a relationship, Vincent is surprised to find himself drawn to Jasper. More than the contradiction of shy young man and bratty personality, Jasper seems made specifically to submit to Vincent. Their chemistry is amazing, and Vincent is willing to try again. The only problem is Jasper's self-doubt and near-desperate need to please.

Wonderful
Absolutely loved this. Jasper knew almost nothing about submission and the D/s relationship except what little he'd learned from living with his cousin. This was refreshing in that his rela4with Vincent grew naturally from trial and error and a lot of communication, not sitting in front of a computer and searching websites for answers. Old school learning in a contemporary age... just what Jasper needed.

Did Not Finish
March 29, 2026DNF at 24%. I just wasn’t a fan of how the book was set up. We immediately jump into the sex/kink stuff, so I didn’t really feel connected to the characters yet. Then it was so sex heavy that I just didn’t care about the rest of the story.

Well, I liked the cover. And I thought the writing style was good. But I didn't love the plot, themes or BDSM.
I wasn't really interested in the relationship dynamics. Rich, older dom meets young, inexperienced destined-to-be-a-sub and they turn out to be absolutely perfect for each other in and out of the scene. Not really my thing.
The BDSM scenes felt... fluffy and repetitive? Which is fine if that's what you like, but I didn't feel it fit Vincent's character.
The relationship between Vincent and Jasper's family/friends was oddly written. Whatever was going on here, it didn't work for me. Everyone's dismissive response to Matt's trauma was frankly awful.
At the end of the book, the only thing that was resolved was the relationship. The characters had issues that were far more interesting, but while they made appearances, they didn't get explored in any depth and there was no real progress/development/resolution. Since the relationship wasn't particularly interesting, this was unsatisfying.

Meh and Ugh.
So, I love a well-written bdsm book. It's rare for me to like them, though, since a lot of them focus on pain (not my thing, not even spanking). This is one of those books.
I also am not a fan of total power exchange or 24/7 kink in a relationship. I like it only in the bedroom. This book had both, so no.
I also am not completely sold on them together. Vincent was a bit nonchalant about Matt's past, which, what? And he was a bit cold, even with the aftercare.
The idea was good, but the execution for me was not good.

It’s more like 3.5 stars. Overall, it’s a good story. Jasper is new to the kink lifestyle and the way it’s written is a bit annoying to me. Plus there are a lot of things that I feel are left unresolved. His inability to communicate with his Dom, Vincent, is one of the most annoying aspects of the book.

Stumbled upon this book and read it in one go!!
I love a good bdsm kink club story and this one did not dissapoint.
The only thing i disliked was the communication issues Jasper had but he had past trauma so it was still understandable!
I really hope there will be a book #2 cause i want to know how their relationship progresses !!!

I have read a lot of books and this might be the most boring book I have ever read. It had so much potential but it was just SOOO dull.. There was barely any plot and what plot was there was confusing and bluhhhh.. I was thinking it could be characterized as smut but the scenes were so ... ughh.. It was like reading a clinical book on bdsm. . . Life is too short to read such dull things.

Some flaws, but I bookmarked some excellent quotes about the concept of submission that really rang true. Did find myself tearing up at some of Jasoer’s internalized trauma so I always consider that as the mark of an emotional connection to a book.
