TREX Rogues #1
Evan
Evan is the first in a TREX spinoff M/M romance series, Rogues.
It features a curious man ready to taste the BDSM lifestyle…
the Dom willing to give him the full-meal deal…
and how together they're able to push each other to the limit - and beyond.
From USA Today bestselling author Allie K. Adams comes a fresh new spinoff from the popular TREX adventures.
When personal stylist Evan Matthews is brought in front of the board of the high-end department store where he works, he's not expecting to come face-to-face with the object of his tabloid obsession-the one and only playboy billionaire, Clint Duke. A man famous for being famous, Clint is everything Evan wants to be. Striking. Brilliant. Overwhelmingly alluring. He's desperate to know Clint on a more personal level. A deeper level. A darker level.
He soon learns Clint is a man of very exquisite, very specific tastes. Tastes that both shock and thrill Evan into considering a very exquisite, very specific arrangement-as Clint's submissive. Evan's unsure if this is the lifestyle for him, so Clint makes him a deal. One night in the playroom. No contract. No expectations. No rules.
Unable to deny his attraction to Evan, Clint breaks all his rules just for one night with the blue-eyed beauty. One night turns to two, which turns to more. Together they discover each other's secrets and explore their darkest desires.
When Evan's duty to TREX gets in the way of his duty to his Dom, he has a choice to make. One will destroy the man he's become; the other will destroy the man he loves.
It's who they are. It's not all they are.

Well, huh. This did not go well. First, this appears to be a planned 6 book m/m spin off of a m/f series. Since this is a m/m spin off I expected to get some info on TREX and what the hell it is. Because for sure the author should assume the m/m crowd have not read any of the prior books. That doesn't really happen. The halfway house for what I think are "non-spies that know too much" idea makes no sense without some backstory and plausible reason for its purpose. I still don't really know what TREX is but I do know that they are wildly over-reactive (I mean, really, a company is being syphoned of money and the first conclusion they jump to is that the company is secretly funding NUCLEAR terrorism?) But I'm getting ahead of myself. Also is it called "trecks" or T-rex" If you followed the m/f series and this is going to be your first m/m book....I would really like you to know that there are a lot better books out there to start m/m reading with.
Besides not getting a lot of backstory, the first thing this book does is rip off Pretty Woman, seriously, the whole sad Corporate raider that hates his job and wants to build things... also in the beginning, he relates that he had a contentious non relationship with his dad and the 3rd generation owner and his son are exactly like the shipyard owner, right down to the fatherly advice. Blah. At one point Evan is even called a Gigolo. Really. He isn't but he is recruited as a spy without any training...so circle back to the halfway house...what is its purpose again? I have no idea. None. And... Clint doesn't drive so Evan spends a lot of time driving Clint around in Evans little sports car. Yep. Really.
Then we get to some of the bdsm. Well, sort of. I can't even imagine Clint as a Dom. This part was another mess but if you read it you can figure that out. However the one "punishment" scene we get is a suspension scene. It's so....under explained and over explained and convoluted that I could never actually figure out what was going on. I have no idea how Clint is able to have sex with Evan in that thing based on how it was kind of explained that he was suspended. Or how Evan didn't end up with some pretty serious injuries. I read this section four times to try and figure it out. I almost drew pictures but didn't have a pen handy. Eventually, to get back to the Pretty Woman part of the show, Clint asks Evan what he wants and it's a all about white knights and saving people ...blah, blah, blah...you know the gist, you saw the movie.
Then later, as Clint is reminiscing and stuff he remembers all the great times he had with his dad after he came out (only to his dad, who admired that about him)...wait....the record just scratched terribly...I thought he and his dad didn't get along and hadn't ever been close? What?
Finally, Evan seriously OUTS Clint in the most public of ways for NO REASON that I can discern. Seriously. I have no idea why he did this and then after he does it, he abandons the guy to the sharks. Evan is the worst. He really is. Clint is a mess but he deserves so much more than this guy.
There is also spying and implausible kidnapping and some other crap but this is such an unplotted mess that it's really useless to make sense of any of it.
Usually these type of books end up with tons of 4 or 5 star reviews so who knows, maybe I'll end up in the minority. Good luck to the series, I'm outie.
1.5 stars. I'm rounding up to 2 stars only because I finished the book. And I only finished it because I PAID for it instead of KU. So annoyed.
