Twice the Touch

Touch #2

by Cara Dee

Mark Cooper is living the life of a carefree bartender, putting his failed marriage behind him and vowing to spend the rest of his thirties free of permanent attachments. But on what he thought was just another night at the BDSM club where he works, his friend Nicholas asks him to assist in a scene, a challenge he eagerly accepts. He doesn't expect that Evangeline and Brayden, two subs in need, will make him want more.

What he also doesn't expect is that a routine family meal the next day will come complete with a surprise guest…

About the author

​
I'm often stoically silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there's so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.

Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.

I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, and geeking. There's time for hockey and cupcakes, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

Pretty hot MMF with an experienced dom and two clueless subs.
It takes place at the same BDSM club from the first book of the series.

Rating:

3.5 Golden Cocks



Fresh out of a miserable marriage Mark Cooper was happy with not having relationship commitment. As one of the Master at Switch he was content in enjoying his lifestyle. But an impromptu training session with a new clueless couple, started to stir something in him.

I doubt I'll ever call her a masochist, and that’s a good thing seeing as I'm not a sadist, but yeah, I think she gets off on a fair amount of it. And Brayden…the jury's still out on that one.

Evangeline Lacroix and Brayden Zaegler has been in love for a few years but they yearned for something different when it came to their sex life. Meeting Mark brought them to a new euphoric height while he attempted to push them out of their comfort zone.

Their pleasure belongs to me. And my mind wanders to Brayden's pleasure. Would he take it from me?

If I remember correctly, I've only read two other books about male sub. I was pleasantly surprised this book added to the tally.

Their submission is a gift, and I'll be damned if I'm going to fail them.

I like Mark's background story and how he handled his life both outside and in scene. The sex was hot but I was hoping for more of it. Still, I enjoyed this one overall.

Note: I love how he called Brayden pup/puppy. It's cute lol!

"You're going to make this hard for me, pup."

Well, well, well Master Cooper...



This was quite the hot, little novella featuring a delicious Dom and two endearing subs. For under 100 pages, Cara Dee managed to nicely draw me into this D/s relationship and the potential that's there. I'm intrigued about where this may go...what kind of a future is possible for these three? Especially with Brayden...he grabbed a little piece of my heart in this book and I'm so glad the next installment is entirely in his POV! I really want to see him finally let go and take what he wants.

However, one issue that I have that kept me from rating this higher is the author veered into reference manual mode at times. There were too many instances while writing a scene where it turned into a BDSM fact sheet and manual.

This was deliciously kinky as I've come to expect from Cara Dee.

3.5 Stars!

Now this was more up my alley, as we get the promise of some MM and/or MMF action. Again, BDSM and the D/s isn't normally my cup of tea but this one worked better for me.

[ML · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was super hot and kinky.
2 new subs with 1 experienced dom.
Lina, Brayden and Mark aren’t sure how everything will shake out but they do know the chemistry is epic.

This is a novella and you basically get the meet cute and a bit of backstory and a bit of kinky times but the next book we get into the relationship, off to read book 3!

And here's what started it all.





Cute couple decide to take a walk on the wild side, and go to a BDSM club to fool around. This is a dumb idea when you have no experience, and nobody to guide you. And also, neither of you are the dominating type. As luck would have it there's this crazy hot bartender slash big bad dom who can hook them up with some edumacation. Filthy shenanigans ensue.



I read this last Friday, and it's the first MMF book I've ever read. At first, I thought I was going to be uncomfortable about dude on dude side action (oh, don't you sit there judging me with your judgey eyes! I clearly prefer my smut of the daddy dom or bad boy biker variety.)



So imagine my surprise when I found myself cheering lewdly. Loudly. Cheering loudly is what I did.

Fucking splendid. "You're going to make this hard for me, pup."

Mark Cooper was hot, I liked the openness of the whole scene, and I actually learned quite a few things. Ms Dee would make an excellent sex ed teacher, je suspect. Incidentally, we had a crap sex ed teacher. Most of my classmates had been treated for an STD or been pregnant at least once by graduation. Shout out to Mr. Logan.


No, I really enjoyed all of it.

Except this one thing. I loved Look But Don't Touch. It's my jam. But I am getting more and more annoyed with Kayla's character as time goes on. She's kind of a douche.


Review is now longer than the book, so I'll try and scrimp on words here. I have a sneaking suspicion that MM might be my new thing - which is unfortunate, since I am missing the bits required to make man on man sex an option.

I’ll probably change my star rating after I read the next, which is about the same trio.

No one does kink like Cara 🔥🔥🔥

I really liked the first book in this series but for some reason i kept putting off reading Twice The Touch but after seeing another book for Nicholas and Kayla on Amazon i decided to catch up.I have no idea why i didn't read this sooner these three were seriously hot together i'm now going straight onto book 3.Look But Don't Touch is still my favourite so far in the series though i loved the daddy kink in that one.

I loved this little novella! 🥹

The chemistry between Mark + Brayden + Evangeline is just *chef’s kiss* & I love the little complexities within their story.

I cannot wait to continue reading about these characters! Getting to peek inside of Brayden’s mind is going to be interesting (as well as devastating — based off of what we know of his struggles).

[Zen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this story of Brayden, Evangeline, and Mark. It's hard to keep a poly relationship balanced in fiction and still create those connections, but this one shows us a good start.

[Awilk -never sleeps- · Rating 4 out of 5]

What do you get when you mix a pair of submissives with a recently divorced Dom who has been holding back his true nature?

You get Twice the Touch by Cara Dee. Book two of the Touch series, and it was a perfect, quick bit of smut. These three have their story continued in the next book, which I can't wait to read.

[Liv · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this novella!! The only ‘negative’ would be that it’s so short, though it’s not really negative but a yearning for more. I am also not sure if my rating would be the same if I’d only read this novella outside of the other books because I actually read this in the complete series box. So my mind was already in the right setting of the characters world which made it easier to enjoy right from the start.

I devoured this very HOT novella because I love BDSM, the kink and all that comes with it. The sex scenes in this story were some of the best I’ve read!

Mark was a bartender at a sex club and didn’t hesitate to help out a couple in need because being a Dom was second nature to him. When he discovered both of them as subs, his desire doubled and he couldn’t help but think about his approach to expand their sexual relationship farther.

There wasn’t really any romance but this didn’t bother me as much as in the first book because here it was more about the D/s relationship. It revolved around Mark and the two subs he slowly introduced to his lifestyle. The couple was just as eager to please their Master as Mark was eager to teach his subs.

Mark, what can I say?! I want him as my Dom! Oh my! *fanning myself* His controlled and confident demeanor was a major turn on!

Oh! and I loved that Nicholas and Kayla were in this book as well because this girl was hilarious.

[Rebecca Austin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mark Cooper is divorced and a bartender at Switch. He grew up with parents in an alternative lifestyle and he has chosen to follow his own path, unlike his 3 brothers who live on the straight and narrow. He is asked one night by Nicholas to assist two beginners with their scene.

Brayden Zeagler and Evangeline Lacroix are new to the BDSM lifestyle. Brayden grew up thinking that a heterosexual vanilla relationship is the only way to be normal and he fights through other feelings that he has. Will Mark be able to break down Brayden's walls so the three can develop something more?

I enjoyed this book and getting to know Mark, Brayden and Evangeline. It was also interesting getting a quick glimpse of Mark's brother, Greg who seems like a total ass.

I liked that Brayden and Evangeline knew they needed some help and appreciated Mark but it's totally unclear about how far Brayden will go due to his insecurities and brain washing from his dad. You can tell that Evangeline is a great person and so dedicated to Brayden but is very attracted to Mark as well and wants a little more.

I'm definitely curious to see what's next for these three!!

Après Nicholas et Kayla, c’est au tour de Mark de se dévoiler.
Nous restons dans la même univers que dans le tome précédent. La sensualité est au rendez-vous de cette histoire qui , cette fois, est un peu plus longue que le premier opus.
Lors d’une soirée comme les autres, Mark fait la connaissance d’un duo qui va bousculer son quotidien à bien des égards. Evangeline et Brayden sont en couple, mais veulent aller plus loin dans leur relation. Mark est la pièce manquante à leur puzzle personnel.
J’ai aimé leurs interactions et la sensibilité qui se dégage de chacun d’eux. Certes différente d’un personnage à l’autre, chacune s’accorde à merveilles aux deux autres.
Brayden est plus complexe d’Evangeline et j’ai hâte de lire le tome qui lui sera consacré pour mieux le connaître.
Evangeline, elle, est plus ouverte à tous les changements que l’arrivée de Mark apporte dans sa vie et dans son couple. Elle fait aussi preuve de beaucoup de bienveillance à l’égard de Brayden dans l’évolution de leur relation.
Mis à part la longueur du texte qui reste encore trop court pour moi, j’avoue ne pas avoir compris l’utilité du prologue.
Même si nous recroisons le frère de mark pendant la lecture, je n’ai pas cerné le besoin de nous présenter cet aspect-là de sa vie pour ne rien en faire après.
A voir par la suite si cet élément sera approfondi ou pas.

( attention, si tu as moins de 18 ans ce roman n'est pas pour toi)


Pour ce tome 2, même si on est toujours sur une nouvelle certes plus longue que la précédente, mais pas assez à mon goût, je l'ai comme même plus apprécié, retrouvez le couple précédent était vraiment cool, mais faire la connaissance du futur je pense trouple était encore mieux, car rien n'était précipité il était question que de relation intime entre adultes consentent.


Ce genre de nouvelle est parfait si on veut découvrir un univers, mais qu'on n'ose pas ce lancer dans un roman directement.

[Shielvin · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you want to read this book, you need to prepare the 3rd installment because this book’s like just the part 1. The story done after the acceptance of their arrangement for longterm 3some D/s.. the next part should be coming in the 3rd book, because obviously Brayden is still in denial..

I love the concept and the story, but its too short. Maybe because this is just the beginning. Let’s go to the next book!

[Barb · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this. I’m very intrigued by the dynamic of a couple bringing a Dom into a loving relationship and what they were willing to do for one another. The sex scenes were very hot and I liked that aftercare was included. I was a bit disappointed that it ended on a kind of cliffhanger, but I’ll continue with the next book hoping that the three of them get an HEA.

[cher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mais um conto ótimo da Cara Dee que acaba do nada, pelo menos no próximo parece ser algum tipo de continuação. Eu preciso ler um longa da Dee urgentemente, 300 pgs no mínimo. PRECISO. Porque suas histórias são simplesmente incríveis, essa também. Nunca pensei que ia gostar tanto de D/s kink, mas preciso de mais disso também.

[Nano Noël · Rating 5 out of 5]

J’avais déjà beaucoup aimé le tome 1, alors qu’il traitait pourtant d’un sujet que je n’apprécie pas d’habitude, celui des Daddy. Dans ce deuxième volet, il est question de domination, de menottes et de fouet, ce qui correspond plus à mes standards... si on rajoute à ces éléments, un couple homme-femme déjà formé, un Maître qui ne cherche pas spécifiquement de soumis attitré, et une autrice que j’aime particulièrement, j’étais presque assurée de me régaler. Et c’est chose faite ! Je dirais même qu’on est passé très près du coup de coeur (heu... à une centaine de pages en fait...) Un truc bête, en définitive, je suis sortie frustrée de cette histoire alors en représailles, bah... pas de coup de cœur, na !! Cela dit, le prochain opus poursuit les aventures de ce trio donc je compte bien me rattraper et apposer ce cœur si mérité...
Pour ne pas trop en dire, je vais souligner deux éléments qui m’ont particulièrement plu. Déjà un premier point, à posteriori : il y a en début de tome une espèce d’interlude qui ne concerne pas (ou peu) les personnages principaux. C’est déstabilisant car j’ai cru m’être trompé d’histoire (surtout que c’est plutôt hard. Âmes sensibles, s’abstenir !), mais en sachant que c’est une sorte de fil rouge entre tous les tomes, je me suis aperçue que j’adorais le concept... Deuxième point qui, à mon sens, fait tout le sel et le charme de cette histoire, le jeune couple de soumis. L’auteur a su rendre de manière évidente l’amour qu’ils se portent l’un à l’autre. Cela les rend touchants et confiants dans leur désir d’être dominés et fatalement, cet amour éblouissant ne peut que résonner dans le cœur de leur Maître improvisé. J’ai vraiment trouvé les scènes émouvantes et vibrantes d’intensité et comme le Dom est également particulièrement attachant, je n’ai pu qu’adorer ce récit !

[K D · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably the problem is that it's not really a standalone novella but more of an episode of a longer story. It's incomplete and unsatisfying in and of itself. I'm uncertain how I feel about this couple adding the third because she's seems much more onboard with this than he does.... But then again it's more of an erotic story than a romance (?)

[Kim B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Totally different than the first book in the series! I'm really excited to read them all to see how they all tie together and also how they vary. This one involves a committed couple (MF) who want to experience the BDSM / Dom Sub relationship. They go to the club (Switch), but catch attention since they don't know what they are doing. Cooper steps in.

[Lindsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Mark. He can be my Dom any day of the week. It is great to find D/s books that give people more than just their kink. He is so perfect for this couple that are subs. He is so patient and wonderful.
