We first meet young, charming, and sexy Christopher O'Malley on Valentine's Night in New York City helping his friends Michael and Todd complete their most hidden fantasies. This night helped Christopher create his own flights of imagination where love and bondage were once just a passing fancy, along with an erotic BDSM book series written by Master Stafon.
Spending the Christmas holiday on the east coast, Christopher meets little Emily, her mother Devyn, and her uncle Mason -- a writer whose pen name is Master Stafon.
Christopher is instantly attracted to Mason, even before he discovers the man's profession. As Christmas draws near, the holiday looks more appealing as Mason gives Christopher the opportunity to experience some bondage play first hand. Could this be the gift that keeps on giving?
I enjoyed the basic premise of the book, but really wish it could have been longer. I felt the instant connection between Mason and Christopher, but even my head was spinning a bit with this case of insta-love. It was hard to determine how much of Master Stafon was really part of Mason and equally hard to determine if Christopher was truly submissive or just enjoyed experimenting with some kinky play. I enjoyed Mason’s use of “my Christopher” over the more traditional terms that Masters call their submissives (boy, pet, baby, etc.). A healthy dose of revised editing would help to improve the story.
