Leather & Chrome #3
Yearning
Ride hard. Love harder. Yearn for more.
Houston has a secret. One he hasn’t even shared with his motorcycle club. One that involves rope and dominance and pretty little subs kneeling at his feet.
And he’s fine with that. Prefers it, really. It keeps his life nice and orderly.
But the night Kenneth dropped into his life changed everything. Entranced, he watched the sweet nurse stitch up one of his brothers—and then slip away. Even after he’s gone, his shy eyes full of desperate yearning continue to haunt him.
Houston has an idea of what the boy needs. And he thinks he’s just the Dom to give it to him.
Besides, what good is a carefully compartmentalized life when he could have Kenneth instead?
Yearning is the third book in the Leather & Chrome series but can be enjoyed on its own. The story features a missed connection made right, an age gap, nosy friends with the best of intentions, a possessive biker with a heart of gold, and golden-brown skin wrapped in teal rope

4.5 “Loving you is the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life" stars
“You’re going to be more of a handful than I thought, sweet boy,” […]
“Don’t worry. My hands are big enough for the job.”
I reached for this book because I’ve been really stressed lately, and I just wanted something sweet that would provide me with a lot of cute moments, comfort and kink and this book gave me exactly just that.
I told myself that I would only read a couple of chapters when I started this book, but I was so into it that I read this book in one sitting, which doesn’t happen often for me now a days, so it really tells you how much I was into this book.
I’m in the middle of doing my university finals so I’m all about low angst books with a lot of hurt/comfort lately. Especially if there is kink in them. Those are my absolute favourites, and they always act as the best distraction from my day-to-day life. This book was very low on angst and just full of super romantic moments that made me swoon and some hot sex scenes that I just loved reading. Basically, this book was perfect for this time in my life, and I just loved it, a lot.
Brief summary
Kenneth is lonely and he wants someone to care for him. He meets a hot biker that he thinks would be perfect for the job. Turns out that they are made for each other, and they fall in love.
First, I absolutely loved the relationship between Kenneth and Hudson, it just made me swoon so much and it was just so sweet. I loved how much they care for each other and how they were always there for each other. I just loved how they were each other’s priorities and how they would do everything for each other. Kenneth was just so sweet and just wanted to please and Hudson was just so accepting and accommodating, they were just a lovely pair together and they complimented each other so well.
Also, Kenneth was very anxious, and he worried a lot. I loved how Hudson was always reassuring him and making sure that Kenneth had nothing to worry about.
Second, my absolute favourite type of main characters in books are the really possessive ones, I just love them so much. And Hudson was really protective of Kenneth, and I absolutely loved that. That just worked so well for me, and I loved reading all about it. And I loved how Kenneth was also really possessive of Hudson, that really worked for me.
“And who’s in charge tonight, boy?” […]
“You.” […]
“That’s right. And my rule is I get to tell you all the wonderful things I like about you as I take care of you.”
Third, I really loved how the kink was done in this one. Hudson was just the kind of dom I love in books. He was so sweet and just wanted to take care of Kenneth. I loved how he was dominating but also just wanted what is best for Kenneth. I loved how he always wanted to take care of Kenneth and always did everything so that Kenneth was happy. And Kenneth was exactly the kind of sub I love in books. He was just so sweet, and he just wanted to please and I absolutely loved reading about that. Their power exchange was just really lovely to read about and I loved it, so much. And I loved how they slowly explored different kinks to see what worked best for them. And the steamy scenes were really hot. And included shibari and an anal hook, which are always a big plus in my book. Everything about this part of the book really worked for me.
Fourth, the start of this book showed Kenneth who was alone and lonely, and he just wanted someone to care for him and then Hudson swooped in and did just that and it was just so heart whelming to me. It made me so sad to see how alone Kenneth was and I loved seeing all the comfort that Hudson provided and how he gave Kenneth everything he has ever wanted. That was just so sweet to me, and I adored it. And Kenneth didn’t have friends and he just wanted some people in his life who would enjoy him and care for him. A lot of the book was about Kenneth finding his found family and that was just the sweetest thing to me, I just loved it so much.
“All I know is… I want to be important. To be someone’s priority.” […] “I want to be cared for.” […] “I want to be owned.”
Fifth, this book has a little hurt and a lot of comfort. Reading this book made me so emotional. It wasn’t even really sad or anything, but I just felt so bad for the characters and what they were going through, and it just made me cry a lot. I just wanted to hug them all. Which is why I really appreciated how much comfort there was in this book.
I just had the best time reading this book. It made me swoon so much and it was just everything I wanted it to be. This book was such a lovely reading experience for me, and I just adored it so much.
I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest opinion.

So I felt like a bit of rope-play and this book fitted the bill.
My goodness these motor club guys are some fluffy Doms.
You need a lot of patience before you get to the spicy scenes. I don't quite understand why the books in this series are advertised as standalones. Yes, the stories are each self-contained and deal with a different couple each time, but it really only makes sense if you read them in order.
For me, it's been a while since I read the first two books and I couldn't remember everything. So I found it hard to get into the story because the first third of the book focuses on a lot of things before it gets to the relationship between Houston and Kenneth.
Houston’s dark eyes ran down Kenneth’s body, slowly, then returned to his flushed face. He grinned, but it wasn’t reassuring. It was… predatory. And arousing. Dear god was it arousing. Kenneth had never wanted to be prey more in his life. 😳❤️🔥😳
I love the dynamic between the two of them. I could have done with a lot more. I feel like the story only scratches the surface. It's almost too fluffy for the BDSM scenes. No complaints, it doesn't always have to be super intense, but it would have been really good here to delve more into the emotions of Houston and especially Kenneth when they play with the rope.
Anyway, there are some very nice kinky scenes, nice dom-sub dynamics, possessiveness and praise-kink.
His intent had just been to find something fun to surprise his boy with, but when he’d turned the corner and found the display of anal hooks, he’d known that was exactly what he was looking for. Something to take their intimacy to the next level before he took his boy’s ass for the first time. 🤤🌶️🤤
I really wish these scenes were longer and more detailed, now I'm totally stoked and don't know what to do with myself.

Something I really enjoy about this series is that even though the relationships happen and progress quickly, and there’s possessiveness and a motorcycle club, it all feels surprisingly healthy. There’s good communication, focus on consent and safety, and the MC club is inclusive and kind.
I really liked Kenneth. I love stories with lonely characters and this one tugged on my heartstrings a couple times. It was a cute story and I really liked the shibari scenes.
Ever so softly, Kenneth let his eyes fall shut and pressed his lips to Houston’s in the gentlest kiss he’d ever experienced. And it still somehow rocked his whole damn world.
Unfortunately it doesn’t score super high for me because it skipped some scenes that I thought would’ve been really important, for example Kenneth meeting the club for the first time as Houston’s boyfriend, and the first time he meets Houston’s mom and extended family. It can be really frustrating when those important moments are skipped and only briefly summarized after the fact.

His life was good, and he needed to remember that instead of feeling sorry for himself because he didn’t have a bunch of friends or someone to kiss him after a hard shift and make him feel better. He had nothing to complain about, and being jealous of others gave him nothing but heartache.
“You’re going to be more of a handful than I thought, sweet boy,” Houston murmured, and Kenneth worried that was a bad thing. Had he pushed too hard? As if reading his mind, a wicked grin appeared on Houston’s tempting mouth. “Don’t worry. My hands are big enough for the job.”
“All I know is… I want to be important. To be someone’s priority.” He blinked back his tears, feeling overwhelmed at just saying the words.

3.5/5 ★
2/5 🌶
Thank you to the author who provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review
So I've been wanting Kenneth's story since the first book and this didn't disappoint for me. The beginning was rough, and I mean that I felt SO bad for Kenneth. He got treated like crap by his father, and Tim wasn't much better, and he felt as though everyone hated him. But knowing CJ, there was no way he wouldn't try and make amends with Kenneth and I'm so glad that we got to see CJ and Kenneth talk about their past. That was desperately needed.
And Houston was just so sweet. I loved him. I also loved how much of an expert he was in Shibari. Honestly, I need more Japanese rope bondage in my stories because it is a beautiful artform.
I wish that we got to see Emmett and Rooster here as well, but Joyful actually takes place after this story. I also wanted a little more angst (but that's a personal preference). This entire series is very insta-love and low angst and honestly, it's kind of nice to read that in between some very "feelings heavy" reads. I also wanted more of Kenneth and his job. Like - does he become a contact for the club at the hospital? I wanted that question answered for me and it wasn't in this book.
I'm also hoping we see more of Kip because that boy needs a Daddy hahah.
Tomas gets his book next (and it seems like it'll be MMM yesssss) but I can't wait for Knuckles to get his. It seems we may have met Knuckles' partner in this book but I could be wrong. We'll see.
Overall, a great addition to the Leather & Chrome series!

📝 REVIEW & THOUGHTS:
I find that so far this is the weakest book in the series in both plot and spice (I’ve read Reckless and Temptation). It started pretty strong but I lost a little interest as the story progressed.
It’s a sweet low angst book, with a relationship progressing very quickly, sweet characters that communicate well.
The author skipped some scenes that I thought would’ve been nice to see. For example Kenneth meeting the club for the first time as the boyfriend, first time he meets Houston’s mom and family.

* 3.5 stars *
We have:
A biker
A nurse
A motorcycle club
A BDSM club
Some self exploration
Some intricate bondage scenes
A lot of steam
Great supporting characters
A whole lot of love
Houston and Kenneth meet through mutual friends and they're interested in each other right from the start. There's insta-lust/love, which is something I try to avoid anytime I can, but here I was able to overlook it to some degree.
The fact that the story takes place over several months helped with that, even though the beginning of the relationship was really fast and the general pace of it even later on kept to that theme.
I liked the secondary characters and I'm interested in the upcoming stories so I think I'll keep an eye on this series.
Even though Yearning is the third book in this series you can read it as a standalone.

Nie wiem jak ona to robi, ale ta seria , jest taka , ze chce ją się czytać. Kinky, ale słodka. Zauważyłam, że książki, w których są przyjaciele lub fajna rodzina , są moim ulubionym.
Jedyna wada za krótka.
4.5 gwiazdki.

I'm loving this series so much and YEARNING was another fantastic addition. I loved Houston and Kenneth to pieces and they were so soft together. This was the kind of low angst, tender, kinky romance that I needed right now. Yes, it's insta-love but I just don't care.
I adore the Devil's Hands MC guys and I really enjoyed the more formal incorporation of BDSM into the clubs' interests. I hope the demonstrations and parties will continue in future books. There's also plenty of Tank, CJ, Six, and Ollie in YEARNING and as usual, CJ and Ollie were a hoot. I really appreciated that Kiki Clark included Kenneth's developing friendships with CJ and Ollie and that she gives him a support system outside of Houston.
I'm also really intrigued by some of the hints about Knuckles that we got and I'm looking forward to more books in this series!
Content Warning: past toxic relationship; brief mention of an emotionally abusive parent; sibling who does not accept the BDSM lifestyle

Favorite Quotes:
“You really need to stop saying such nice things,” Kenneth whispered.
Houston chuckled, rehanging the towels he’d used. “No, you need to get used to hearing such nice things. I don’t know who made you feel like you weren’t worth sticking around for, but they were dead wrong.”

He knew his boy hadn’t always felt loved and cared for in his life, but never again. It was his job— his honor and privilege— to pamper and love him. Own him.
I adore the Devil's Hands MC guys and I really enjoyed the more formal incorporation of BDSM into the clubs' interests. I hope the demonstrations and parties will continue in future books. There's also plenty of Tank, CJ, Six, and Ollie in YEARNING and as usual, CJ and Ollie were a hoot. I really appreciated that Kiki Clark included Kenneth's developing friendships with CJ and Ollie and that she gives him a support system outside of Houston.
I'm also really intrigued by some of the hints about Knuckles that we got and I'm looking forward to more books in this series!

I am in a mood haha its mainly me but also partly the book haha
I had high hopes and this didn’t live up to it in my head. I did like the shibari, but I don’t know, I didn’t connect with the main characters and I just zoned out a lot which could explain why I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped..maybe if I reread it later when I don’t feel a reading slump coming on I will enjoy this more!
I hope I get out of this almost slump I am in… it’s not fun hahaha

Ahhh these bikers make me so happy 🤩🤩
I could read their stories forever, and I mean it because I want everyone's.
The next one won’t come out soon enough for my liking 🥺
Just like the previous ones, Houston and Kenneth' story is fast: their attraction, and then love, almost immediate. But here we have a D/s relationship, and even if i love Daddy/boy dynamic, I enjoyed the change.
I have few things to point out about Yearning tho....
Some moments, or better conversation, felt a little rushed. Things, i believed were important steps in their growing love, were just outlined.
But in the end it's still a good book.

Kenneth siempre supo que lo que quería en una pareja no era fácil de conseguir, por eso cuando ve a Houston por primera vez, siente que quizás sea capaz de darle lo que siempre necesito. Sin embargo, Houston pertenece a un club de motorizados donde esta el novio del que fue una vez su mejor amigo, y al cual traiciono de la peor manera. Será capaz Kenneth de hacerle ver que el no es esa persona? Houston le dará una oportunidad? De verdad Houston podrá darle a Kenneth lo que necesita?
De esta serie esperaba mucho mas, el libro es erótico desde el principio, pero prácticamente no hay drama, ni problemas, ni dudas, ni siquiera las "travesuras" de Ollie le dio ese toque de diversión que tiene los otros libros de la serie. Además, me quede esperando un poco mas del hermano de Houston, o un poco mas del ex de Kenneth. Inclusive, esperaba un poco mas de ayuda con los casos de las mujeres maltratadas. En fin, esperaba muchísimo mas de este libro, y me decepciono un poco.
Sin embargo, quiero saber quien va a ser el próximo en caer y como va a afectar todas estas parejas al club.

2.5 ⭐️
To be completely honest I was a little disappointed in this one.
I have LOVED this series! It is so fireeeee and I did really like the shibari but unfortunately it wasn’t enough to save the meh chemistry between Houston and Kenneth.
I thought their relationship, despite being intense and kinda sweet, was just sort of bland. Their connection wasn’t based on anything really and they barely talked or at least they didn’t talk much on page. It was just a bunch of vaguely kinky bedroom experiences and a lot of Houston calling Kenneth sweet boy all strung together with little substance.
Nearly all of the interesting parts of the story like Houston telling his family about Kenneth and him meeting them, Kenneth telling really anyone about Houston, and the most confusing, a random and pointless cameo by Houston’s brother who I kid you not had zero actual dialogue during the entire scene and no conclusion to the drama, were just summarized in passing. I found myself enjoying Ollie and CJ and their dynamic the most during the whole book which is not great when they aren’t supposed to be the focus…
I LOVE Kiki Clark’s work normally but this didn’t live up to my expectations at all unfortunately.

This one just scratched the surface of the itch.
It was good, but mostly just okay!!
Exploring Kenneth’s kink interest was fun, and both he and Houston were immediately lusting for the other, but it feels a little repetitive? Being the third major novel in this series it doesn’t differentiate much from the previous stories.

I've been so curious about Kenneth since book one. Not gonna lie, I was fully prepared to dislike him. I didn't at all. He's everything I'd hoped he would be. Houston was the perfect partner for him. This was a one sitting book for me. They were just so sweet. I'm seriously reconsidering my stance on instalove because of these two.
We were introduced to a few new characters in this book. The author wrote them in such a way that I'm insanely curious about them. But it didn't distract from Kenneth and Houston's story.
This book is my current favorite in the series. Which is super weird for me to say. I didn't think I'd like it as much since there isn't any Daddy kink. Turns out Houston's ropes were better.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and this is my honest review.

Aww, these books are just filled with soft boys and their loving, protective daddies/doms!! It's filled with all the shaking and shuddering and tenderness that I did not expect from biker books😂
I do love a good ole rough and tough biker, but these guys are so sweet and that's a nice change of pace!
I enjoyed Houston and Kenneth's book the most so far, but I do think that the time/event skips do take away from the stories at times and they could definitely be more developed but otherwise, very quick, cute reads💖

Yearning is the third instalment from the series LEATHER AND CHROME by Kiki Clark and let me tell you it is hot 🔥 Like stupid hot, like she killed it hot, like this is fantastic Ohmygodyessssdaddyyyy hot🤩
Kenneth and Houston are a fantastic match made is BDSM heaven. Their personalities compliment each other and bring this rich substance to their budding relationship, that neither of them had experienced before 🖤
Yes, kink is an essential part of their romance, but above all Houston really put his best foot forward for Kenneth, making sure he always felt safe, loved and appreciated. He remains in control making sure his boy never has to want for anything, and that level of devotion was overwhelming and beautiful 🖤His personality is charismatic and captivating. Houston in my opinion remains a very complicated character and that bit of mystery makes him even more irresistible 🖤
Kenneth has a real character growth in this book. Essentially I knew he wasn't a bad guy from the events that transpired in book one, but he definitely needed to make some amends with CJ and I just loved their hilarious breakfast reunion 🙈🖤 He was so sweet and caring, so genuine and open, so freaking ready to have Houston in his life, that when it finally happened I was happily grinning on the couch, definitely not clutching my ipad too hard🖤 Their chemistry was off the charts, the blazing heat that rolls off the pages is just delicious 🖤
Imma just interject a note here to say, I love how Kiki Clark introduces new things about sexual play in her books, and she does that in a very sensitive educational manner.🖤
All the cast from the previous books 1&2 is making an appearance. CJ and Ollie are hilarious, wonderful and the besties I wish you all to have 🖤
Love me some Tank always, so his cameo did not disappoint 🖤
As far as Knuckles, oh my god, I need his story🖤 to say I am dying with curiosity is an understatement 🖤 Is he? Isn't he? And how Houston took care of him🖤so sweet🥺🖤

Series: Leather & Chrome #3
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good
This series has been such a surprise for me. I never expected to fall in love with these kinky men and Daddy kink but I have. Kenneth and Houston’s story was such a wonderful, low angst, and kinky romance. It was just what I didn’t know I was needing.
Kenneth has been briefly mentioned in the previous books. He was Cj’s roommate and comes to the club to fix up Six when he is injured. He is a shy, caring, and very submissive man who just wants someone to take care of him. I adored watching him come out of his shell and embrace his submissiveness and let go of his fears. I also loved seeing his friendship with Cj and Ollie develop.
Houston is the VP of the club and up to this point we haven’t learned a lot about him. I enjoyed getting to know him and his kinks. I absolutely loved watching him care and praise Kenneth. He really brought Kenneth out of his shell and showed him that he can be himself. I also liked that he pushed for the incorporation of BDSM into the club's interests because other people had expressed interest in it. I hope we see more demonstrations and parties in future books.
Overall, I adore the Devil’s Hands MC guys and I can’t wait to read the future books, especially the president’s. I also can’t wait to find out what is going on with Knuckles.
Trigger Warnings: domestic violence discussed; death of children discussed; past toxic relationship; brief mention of emotionally abusive parent; sibling who does not accept MC’s BDSM lifestyle;

I loved Kenneth and Houston. They were so amazing and cute. They melted my freaking heart. I also enjoyed seeing the other characters from previous books. It’s so fun to come back to these books, it’s one of my favorite MC series.
There isn’t much to say. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to get Tom's and, I think Knuckles is getting a book. If I had to guess Knuckles would be with Zachary, which I already ship them together. Anyways I definitely recommend this. If you read it, enjoy! Bye bye!

What a sweet and kinky, low angst story.
I’m not sure why I don’t read more d/s because I do really enjoy it. Especially when the characters are so charming.
Houston is a sweetheart of a badass. Kenneth is a kind-hearted nurse, who’s successful at work but not so much in his personal life. These two fit together beautifully. Kenneth is a natural submissive and Houston is the most caring dom. Kink is obviously a major part of their relationship, but the care and devotion that Houston shows, ensuring his sub feels safe and secure is swoon-worthy. And Kenneth, wanting to make sure his dom also feels special and loved was perfect. Such a tender romance.
It was also pretty great to see Houston opening up to his club family. This brings up the host of characters at the club that are a part of this series. They are wild and fun and endearingly loyal.
If you are looking for a light and cute d/s story, this definitely fits the bill.

3.5 I liked this couple better than CJ and Tank. The pacing here felt better and I loved the way Houston took care of Kenneth, and Kenneth took to shibari etc immediately. I will say that Houston's terms of endearments never really worked for me. Him calling Kenneth 'sweetheart' and 'sweet boy' felt off, even to the end. Also, I had no real clue what Kenneth looked like. At some point it's mentioned he had curly hair and his mom was Cuban American and I was like, 'Thank God,' cause I was flying blind. Even then, that's really all we got. I didn't really know how tall he was, what his body type was or even his eye color. It was very distracting. There was zero resolution with Houston's brother. Why bring him to dinner if nothing was said after the introductions? If this was a set up for him really being a sub, we needed more and if not, it was a waste.
Having said all that, I'm enjoying this series! I am trying to decide if I want to read Six and Ollie's book because I'm really interested in Six but Ollie sounds like more than I want to deal with. I am totally looking forward to Tomas, Knuckles and Houston's mentor's book. I don't know who will end up where but I can't wait!

Kenneth is just adorable and kind and sweet. I was happy to see his character get some redemption and kind of get insight into how he could let all that drama happen in book one with CJ.
This is pretty instalove/lust. Kenneth is shy and anxious, but once they gets started, it's like a rocket blast off.
Even with all the spice and kink, I think the sweet connection and romance between them is my favorite. They become each other's safety and security, and it's really heartwarming. They kinda blossomed together, mostly Kenneth. I hope in future books we get to see Kenneth become a good friend to CJ and Ollie.
One frustrating bit is I am DYING to know what's going on with Knuckles, the attractive tattoo artist who has been so sad. I need his book so badly.
Lots of Found family, but also Houston's acceptance of Kenneth's siblings as his family was SO SWEET. It made me teary, especially his friendship with Kip.

October 24, 20255⭐️ Kenneth’s shyness and submissiveness are very endearing. I loved his personality. Even after acknowledging that he messed up with CJ, he apologized and took responsibility. I find it that he is very brave even if he’s always shy and soft spoken. He did his best to get what he wants and deserves 😍 As for Houston, I loved both his tenderness and his dominance equally. I found his specialty in rope play very HOT ❤️🔥 The book focuses a lot on kinks, especially D/s relationships, rope play, and BDSM in general. It highlights how kink shaming, or being accepting of similar lifestyles can change someone’s life. The steam was amazing 🌶️😍❤️🔥 Kenneth’s and Houston’s chemistry was really amazing ❤️ I can’t wait to read more about Knuckles and (hopefully) Zachary’s book. I just know it’s going to be amazing. Off to the next book 🏃♀️ Side note: the MC lifestyle portrayed in this book is not OTT or overwhelming, which I appreciate greatly!

This series man. I mean COME ON! It was so good I listened up to like chapter 10 on audible and had to like download and binge read the rest 😭
I can't help but to fall even more in love with these guys as they fall for each other!
Kiki is a literal literary GODDESS. The way these two were written, its even more swoonish than the other two damn books! To watch the coming into self and Houston & Kenneth both over come trauma and basically mild ptsd together and have such trust in each other. GAH! *chefs kiss* perfection.
Oh and the sex? The fucking scenes? Yes I mean actual scenes cause its a BDSM book in ever way. This was 🥵 girl.
Usually by the 3rd or 4th book I feel like authors get repetitive but nope, not with this she didnt. I can't wait to read the rest of their stories. Period.
10/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

The first two Leather & Chrome books gave us the perfect combination of humor, kink, possessive bikers with hearts of gold, and found family. The third installment, Yearning, is no different.
In this one we get:
- Age Gap
- Possessive Dom Biker
- Adorable Nurse sub
- Hurt/Comfort
- Low/No Relationship Angst
- Found Family
- An*l Hook 😏🫣
- Bondage/Shibari
We also get some glimpses of club life in the Devil’s Hands MC, some hilarious appearances from the ever-growing “Property Of” Twink squad, as well as introductions to some new elements, like Houston’s *other* club the House of Bacchus, his former Dom mentor Zachary, and his estranged brother (who I will be needing more info about stat).
I can’t wait to see more of this cast of characters! Now I’m anxiously awaiting our polyamorous prez Tomas’s book (featuring Ollie’s friends Mason & Vinnie from book 2? 🤞🏻)

Sweet and sexy, dominant and submissive - Yearning was a joy to read!
Sweet pediatric nurse, Kenneth and MC club VP Rooster meets briefly in previous book in the series, but even though their meetings are only for a few minutes it leaves both men with the impression that the other could be someone very special to them, if they allow it and if their paths cross again.
Their paths do cross and the attraction is still there - as is the very real undercurrent that both men are into D/s relationships. Kenneth has the curiosity and enthusiasm and Rooster has the patience and experience. I really enjoyed how these two explored their kinks and interests and how it was always portrayed in a loving and fun way. Doms can sometimes overpower their subs in romance books (comes with being a dom probably?) but here Rooster takes charge AND is kind and sweet and caring.
And the Shibari? ugh, I loved it! I love the art of Shibari and am always excited to see it portrayed in romance books and here it was done very well.

Another sweet, spicy edition to this drama-free, light, sexy little series. I LOVED the Shibari aspect and “sir” instead of daddy this time. Sooooo passionate!
Houston and Kenneth were adorable. Kenneth broke my heart but Houston’s unwavering support made me swoon. They moved SO FAST and there seemed to be more time jumps in this one? I dunno, it didn’t feel as flushed out.
BUT, I’m loving how the boys are bonding and the club is expanding. So many characters and potential hookups in the future and I can’t wait to read more!
