A thorough kink exploration.

Nathan, 28, is approached by Daniel in a café after losing yet another job. Nathan just doesn't feel like he's cut out for the professional world and has struggled to get his life together. Daniel, upfront and commanding from the beginning, suggests Nathan might need a spanking and then invites him to stay at his home until he gets back on his feet.

Nathan has no idea what he wants and reluctantly goes with the flow. He is somewhat resistant for a fair bit of this - I wouldn't call it dub-con though, it's more like he's fighting with his own desires.

Daniel is experienced with kink, but hasn’t had quite such a regular partner before and dives in too quickly. I was initially a bit put off by the lack of negotiation, but that’s actually sort of the whole point and they get there in the end and have a nice, explicit conversation about their dynamic.

It's ironic that Daniel insists so much on communication but entirely failed to communicate himself.

This has a great variety of scenes and I found it all to be quite well-written. There were even a couple things I hadn't read before, like the enema scene at the start of book 2, or the prostate milking.

Wow, I really enjoyed this. Nathan gets picked up by Daniel after being fired for the third time in a year. He’s 28 years old and can’t seem to find any direction in his life. Daniel helps him to find himself though BDSM. This book is very kinky and I loved that, but it’s also a love story and I loved that too.

Really liked this story. These 2 MCs were good together and good for each other.

This is a series of three short story books combined into one bundle. Not sure why they weren’t written as one regular length book. I think the three stories could have been woven into an even better long book. I'm torn between 3.5 and 4 stars. I think the first story was close to 4 stars. The second was 3.5 stars and the third story was 3 stars.

In the first story, you have to be willing to accept the premise that the main character immediately goes home with a stranger that he just met in a coffee shop. If you buy into that, then the rest of the short story is interesting. I thought it was written better than most short stories in this genre, but more editing was needed due to typos. In the second and third stories, I didn’t buy into Daniel not understanding what Nathan wanted. He couldn’t be that dense especially after Nathan left.

The author indicates that there might be another story coming in the future with these characters. If so, I would read it.

++ kinks galore: domestic discipline, BDSM, impact play, hand feeding, humiliation, enema, prostate milking, big object insertion, cock cage, sounding

- - Not much plot and the romance isn’t fleshed out
