Touching Vida~Vince

Rate this book
Vida had spent a good part of his life in a whirlpool of depression and it all rooted back to his parent’s rejection of him. He likely would have withered away if it weren’t for his brother, Dane. His rock and chariot. The person who had touched him and made him feel so loved and adored. If only Vida could find his happy ever after with someone who also made him feel that same way Dane did.
The biggest hurdle was finding himself again. And who knew the discovery would be brought on by a little mouse?
There was something to be said about having the Dominion of Brothers as his family; they’d loved him and watched over him as he stumbled around trying to reinvent himself until finally coming to the spot they knew all along. Who he was. Now, Vince did too.
Oh, and there was also something about the handsome doctor fellow whose eyes lit up when he looked at him.

Pavle Laszkovi felt like a school kid fumbling about for the right words to ask the androgynous man for tea. He’d never laid eyes on someone so beautiful. Like an angel unspoiled by the world. Such protection probably had a lot to do with the older brother who watched over and guarded him like a Doberman Pincher. A formidable man Pavle would have to win over if he was planning on touching Vida~Vince.

Both Proud Indy Authors: Talon P.S. and his twin, Tarian P.S. love to torment their editor with a nefarious world of foreign-lang, slang, local dialect, stretched/outside-of-the-box synonyms, as well as having been known to throw in some con-lang at times. This, of course, is all thrown in there with the dyslexia soup stock they both suffer from that makes editing with them a joy {joy: n see mental illness}.
However, the final products comes out as richly detailed holographic worlds of Gay/MM Erotic Romance; Paranormal, Sci-fi, and War time Romances; and along with Tal's favorite Space Sci-Fi Frontiers and Prin's favorite works of Post-Apocalyptic Dark Fantasies, all for readers to submerse themselves into and escape from the mundane.
So be sure to have your reading glasses ready and block out some private time on your schedule, because—

What a character story. What character, full stop. I loved Vida-Vince.

What a horrible, unwelcoming world to have to live in and what a glimpse into the hell such a life could frequently be. Without the Brothers as an extended family, Vida-Vince's gender fluid identity might not have survived a world that is not quite so fluid in its desire to understand.

Having said that, I was disturbed by some of the dynamic with his brother, Dane. I recognize that I don't understand, and never truly will, some of the experiences people in this world have, And I recognize that I can't compare the meaning of those experiences for others, to the meaning they have to me. But I feel the more advantaged, stable brother (who admittedly had reasons for his own insecurities) mislabeled his protection. And I'm not down with that.

I also felt the middle of the book was a nice catch-up in the goings-on of the Brothers' world itself as well as setting the stage for future books, but this mid portion seemed not to relate as seamlessly as I might have liked to the main point of this particular book.

The conclusion of the book was back to a fine character story, and though Pavel himself was a bit of a disappointment as a human being at intervals, he did come through in the end to be the man I wanted to see him be for Vince. In the end, this was Vince's book. His story. His life and his victory.

4 stars for the book 5 plus for the series.
First let me say that it's very hard for me to review this book separate from the series because it's a long awaited  7th installment in the amazing series Dominion of brothers and can't be read as a standalone. Since the Right one 4 Diesel ended in the granddady of all cliffhangers even more so. I won't repeat the blurb, but let just say that this book is much more multilayered than the blurb reveales. I was always intrigued with Vida-Vince character and his brother Dane and in this installment we get to find out what shaped beautiful androgynous and mysterious Vida-Vince and partly  Dane. Their complicated and mutually dependant relationship  is gradually revealed through the story that takes us back in the series so some events are described from others points of view. Here enters Dr. Pavle Laszkovi. This is the story that takes us to their self discovery journey. It's full of ups and downs. For Vida-Vince finding the courage and safe harbour to be who he really is and especially for Pavle questioning himself and his hangups, some of them  he wasn't even avare of. I love  the twins's non-apologetic approach to some topics that are considered taboo, in the whole series, not just this book. This book is a roller-coaster between sweet and brutal moments, which leads me to one of the reasons I'm giving this book 4 stars. First one is that some scenes and especially dialogues between Vida-Vince and Pavle are overly sweet and unrealistic, but maybe it's just old sarcastic and bloodthirsty me. You be the judge of that. The other is that editing leaves some things to be desired. Maybe another set of eyes on it next time.
I love the way the personalities and hints of the backgrounds of Marcus and Harper are woven into the story as well as the hints of future relationships. I want more of Dane, Marcus and Harper. And please let Diesel and Paris out of the limbo and let them join the fun and action soon. The characterisation is superb and I can't wait the next installment in this series.  Actually I want it now. It was worth waiting for but don't make us wait too long this time!

if i could give this 10 stars i would, 5 doesn't do it justice.

where to begin? this book is so unique, I've never read a book about a gender neutral person who identifies as both sexes. it was utterly fascinating and so well done. just incredible. enlightening, sensitive and educational too. i feel i understand what it means a little bit more, before i just didn't get it. this book helped me empathise with what gender neutral means to an individual. just bloody so well done!!!

the love story - its about two gentle souls (not everyone is meant to be super alpha) and Pavle is just what vida-vince needs. V-V is so damaged in so many ways and Pavle provides that security and foundation for VV to continue to come into their own. for me pavle should have explained why he left VV at the wedding and not just apologised later. it would come as a shock to see anyone - no matter how open minded, to see two siblings french kiss. so i thought he got a rum deal there and was frustrated that he wasn't more assertive about it all. V-V also at times comes across as a petulant child who just needs to grow the fuck up. Dane omg i need him. can't wait for his book.

i can't tell you how much i love Talon PS' writing style. its poetic, its profound at times, educational and eye opening. one of my top 3 authors of all time!

as for the dominion - omg i loved finding out what was happening in the dominion world and i had to read the final chapter and advance prologue twice and then go read trofim/shays and diesel/paris' books just to get back into their amazing world.

this series just is astounding. it really is the best writing out there.

BUT you MUST read it from the start ie Becoming his slave- one of the very best bdsm books out there. don't skip books, (i did shay and trofim) cos you miss too much.

(I actually read this series a few years ago but didnt give a review, my resolution this year has been to leave a review for ever single book i read including all my re-reads).

Quite long and extremely good!

I have been one of those fans who have been waiting forever it seems for this book! It actually took me a few chapters in to understand that these previous stories all intersect with each other. I am used to more linear timelines in series. But it helped with refreshing my memories. While it mainly concentrated on Vince and his issues, his brother Dane who is actually quite frightening, and Pavle the doctor, everyone else is in and out of the story.
In the beginning it's clear that Vida-Vince needs counseling for those long standing issues and his identity issue. Fortunately he goes to the family therapist! It was interesting reading about the identity issue that he has struggled with for years. His parents were horrible to him and did lasting emotional and psychological damage to a young boy who they didn't understand and didn't meet their standards. His saving grace was Dane who was/is there for him 100%. I had some problems with their relationship in the beginning but as the story evolved I felt more understanding.
There are several murders, rapes, kidnapping , and general mayhem which is practically normal events for Trenton and his warriors! We leave the story with one brother in ICU after being shot and it's a mess all around. Spoiler alert : it's my Diesel!
Small spelling errors were noticeable and one mistake. Creatinine is not a medication but is from the breakdown of tissue in the body. These are very minor and didn't change the enjoyment I found in reading this book! Kudos to one of my favorite writers in continuing this great series.

There is a lot I could say about Touching Vida-Vince but I won’t. If I did it would give away too much of the book. What I will say is, the emotions of this book take you up one side, ring you around and bring back down the other side.

I have been intrigued by Vida-Vince since the beginning of the series. I have always known there was more to him than met the eye. Though I know it happens, no one should ever have to go through such pain in early life then have to feel like they have to hide behind a persona to get through life. With the help of a very over protective brother, a busy ‘mouse’ and an extended family, Vince learns and grows to be the man he truly is.

The Twins don’t shy away from the hang-ups that some people have but faces them head-on and addresses them straight forward. This alone makes the story one in a million. There are times I wanted to strangle someone and other where I just wanted to hug them.

I finished the book midway through a flight with a curse and strange looks from the passengers around me. I do have one question. Can I have the next one now?

Reviewed by Kat

This is the series that introduced me to MM/gay romance and I was hooked. The extremely talented writing team of twin brothers, Talon P.S. and Tarian P.S., have created a place very close to my heart. They have created a close band of brothers, The Brothers of Dominion, that protect and take care of their own…no matter the cost to themselves. How could you possibly not fall in love with all of them?

Vida/Vince is the younger brother of Dane Masters, the Golden Master who runs Club Pain. Vida has been the hostess of the club but, after an outing out with Katianna (Trenton’s Life Slave) he rediscovers himself again and quits donning the Drag Queen persona. With the help of the little mouse (Kat) Vince re-emerges and searches for what he truly wants in life but at what cost?

I had not paid a lot of attention to Vida before. I knew that she was Dane’s younger androgynous brother that appeared in full drag and there was a story there. But I know now that it is a deep and some might say a dark story. Dane was the golden child of the Masters family, blond and beautiful with a commanding presence. When Vince was born it was obvious he was not carrying on Dane’s looks and presence. While Dane commanded attention with his looks and physique Vince was quite delicate and beautiful in a more feminine way. When their parents discovered he was gay he was sent away for conversion therapy. Dane stepped in and threatened to disown his family if they sent his younger brother away again. Vince became a ghost to his parents from then on out. But Dane always took care of him and made him feel beautiful and loved. Maybe way too loved for most people. This is where I need to warn you. This book pushes the bounds of the world’s views on love. Taboos such as incest are not well tolerated by society and this could disturb some readers. Although there is no actual on page sexual contact there is quite a bit of sensual kissing and desires. It causes quite a bit of controversy and problems for Vince when it becomes known by Pavle. I believe this has been a big concern for Trenton and Diesel too. I really liked how Trenton dealt with Vida~Vince with Katianna and with Pavle. I could tell that he was concerned for Vince and Dane’s welfare and mental health. Living outside of society’s expectations on incest could have huge potential fallout for both brothers. I appreciated that Trenton kept a close eye on both.

Dane’s attraction and love of Vida~Vince has been a constant force in both their lives. This is a mutual attraction but has caused an unhealthy problem for them both. It has also interfered with either of them moving on. Dane’s sense of guarding his brother has become an obsession for him and I fear that, if he doesn’t find is own mate, will come back to bite them both. As it is it almost cost Vince his chance at true love and happiness and ultimately could have cost him his life.

I found it cute and charming that Pavle was this amazing surgeon and the Chief-of -Staff at a huge hospital in New York yet became a bumbling nerd when it came to relationships and love. I did love the support of his family and his ex-wife and kids as he tried to go after Vince. But I also loved that Darko and Pyotr (his older brothers) also were very protective of Vince. It turns out that Darko is Vince’s best friend and Pyotr was his therapist. I love both of these men. Darko is who introduced me to this series in the first place.

If you have forgot some of the past books (this series has been evolving for quite a few years, writing a 500+ page books takes time, and the authors are sticklers for detail) then be reassured because this book takes place during most of the timeline and reminds you of past events.

I was horrified at the huge cliffhanger that ended Right One 4 Diesel and was relieved to get a tiny bit of relief in this book. My poor, Diesel had been wheeled into that ER what seemed like forever ago. I’m just thankful that Pavle was on duty. Pavle has been intricate in many of the healings of these books and I am sure that he will be there making sure he does all he can to make sure Diesel gets all the best medical attention he needs.

I have made it known that Trenton/Katianna/Diesel/Paris are some of my most favorite book characters of all time and this series is in my top series too. But sweet little Vince and nerdy Pavle are becoming pretty darn close to my heart too! I mean who couldn’t want to protect and love Vince? But, as I stated, Pavle has been there to save many of the characters who have been hurt so he’s a big time hero in my eyes and heart too. And I hope that all stays good for them…and the Dominion of Brothers and the entire Laszkovi family too. I fear there is much more danger on the horizon before this series is through.

I LOVED this book way more than I had thought I would. I thought is was just a bridge to get to the conclusion but, as usual in this series, I way super wrong. This book opened my eyes to some of the rest of the Brothers and the things that they are dealing with. And it highlighted Kat’s and Vida~Vince’s relationship plus Drako’s and Pyotr’s relationships with Vince too. I can’t wait until the next book because I have a feeling it’s going to be a doozy! When Trenton is released from prison and Diesel gets his health restored there is going to be hell to pay and I have a feeling everyone will be involved! 5 huge flaming hearts for this one!
