Binding Robbie
Robbie's found in a snow bank on death's doorstep. Can the sub club help him find his footing, even if he's not a sub? Or is he for the right Dom?
Tom Martino is curious. All of the Doms and their subs are protecting Robbie Bailey, a street kid they found in a Trenton snow drift. It seems that when Danny was on the streets, Robbie looked out for him. When Danny's brother Caden came to rescue Danny, they looked for Robbie and couldn't find him. Now that they have, all of the Doms and their subs are determined to help him for helping one of their own. Tom wants to help Robbie too, but for a different reason. After getting to know the young man, Tom is in love and wants him for his boy. But one problem remains, Robbie says he isn't a sub.

** Spoilers on the fact that this book's ending ruins it and how. **
Okay. Heh. In this series I don’t usually comment on editing or grammatical issues, but this is way too funny. I am not sure if literally would have helped here, either. Cause a human being generally is not a light emitting source. XD
Something that’s been bugging me for a while is Brian’s change into the usual leading “mate”, or in this case sub. In his own book he seemed like a decent guy with a good head on his shoulders; ever since he has regressed more and more into a spoiled, mischievous child. I have noticed something similar for most of the other subs once their book is done (and sometimes before). Not appealing at all. (Oddly enough their Doms turn into more reasonable people at the same time – at least slightly.)
A case in point is how the Doms complain about their respective sub’s method of getting his way. Apparently Brian pouts, Johnny throws things, Jamie organizes the household, Danny cries, Greg goes for the silent treatment, and Jim gets bitchy. The jury is still out on Robbie. But you will notice how all of these things have a rather distinctive stereotypically female cast to them. They also are the actions of people who see no other recourse. Which is totally the case because apparently “talking back” is being punished physically (and not in ways that gets them hot).
Yeah. This is all pretty crazy and scary.
Oh and before I forget. In the last book they were all going on about how important the members’ anonymity is and how no one would ever even acknowledge someone outside the club to keep their kinky private life private. Yet in this book the guys have no issue with throwing about that judge’s name in just about anyone’s hearing. I am sure that will go over well – the judge’s membership in a gay BDSM club. Yep. Well done.
Then there’s the way someone in every book gets diagnosed with PTSD. Some person will inevitably suggest someone else is affected by it and that’s apparently enough to decide that it is so. Then our psychologist Greg adds his two cents and confirms as much, without knowing any more than the merest hint about the situation.
I am still baffled that in the previous book Caden was diagnosed with war-related PTSD because he did not want to accept money from his new brother-in-law.
Not certain the author really knows that much about what PTSD actually is, to be honest. Someone did something that upset you at some point in your life? Clearly you have PTSD and that is the reason you are doing whatever it is someone else thinks you shouldn’t be doing. And that’s usually all there is to it. Talk a little to Greg, get medicated for the slightest complaint, and we’re all better.
Anyway, let me get to the actual plot here. Robbie’s turnaround into the world of submission occurs rather suddenly. And Tom is pushy and irrational after all, destroying my hopes for a good Dom. They have kink and sex exactly once and are already talking marriage and forever. Not even only talking it, either! My head is spinning a little, although I have no idea why I should be surprised, considering the series.
Near the end of this, though – that’s when it all goes to hell.
Oh my god! Why is everyone blaming Robbie? What horrible thing did he do that they hadn’t known about? It’s not like he was reckless or did anything at all to cause . Jesus, everyone here is an idiot and they’re all (subs included) making sure Robbie feels as bad as possible.
I also wish to point out that everyone, including the holier-than-thou Doms, collaborated on this plan. Not a single one of them “talked Robbie out of it” or even tried to. How come this is the subs’ collective fault? I have no sympathy for any of them, Doms or subs. They’re all bullies and sick in the head. God! What am I even reading? This makes zero sense to any reasonable human being!
And just when I think it can’t get any worse, the author comes up with this entirely contrived and ludicrous reason why it’s a matter of life and death that Tom has to punish the kid. I don’t remember the last time I came across something so utterly asinine.
Gah. This does not make me quite as angry as the Bull/Jamie nightmare, but it’s close, if for different reasons. And all within the last twenty or so pages. Way to spoil a story.
“He’s willing to go for open ended after six months, or before if we want to do it that way.” Robbie said as he literately beamed.

This story moves at a fast pace but as the full picture is revealed you get a sense of why and it fits. Tom is at a place where he's ready to find his sub. Robbie sort of gets dropped into the deep end because of what he needs to recover. It is exciting to see this young man regain his entire life. He needs to reconcile having control of his life and submitting to another. It is wonderful to read the wrap up and see the direction they are headed for.

I have a black and white cat that we found in a box in the snow about eight weeks old. He's 12 now, his name… Lucky! Great Book.
