The card is elegant, simple. One single word on it, ‘Dream’, and it’s Cade’s key into Toshiro’s world, a world of sensual truth and secrets like Cade has never dreamed of before.
Toshiro sees clients. Sometimes it's for a Japanese tea ceremony. Sometimes it's for something more ... personal. Cade comes to him searching for information about a missing brother. He's not looking for a spanking or the thoughts of a beautiful, mysterious man, but he's likely going to get more than he bargained for.
Oh my goodness! It's been so long since I updated here!
I'm still writing. I think I will always write. I'd so love to share my stories with you.
I also just want to put it out that I'm trans. Going into transition was so good for my life. It was as if I'd been living with gloves on all my life and nothing felt real and then suddenly, I could feel the texture of everything, both good and bad.
I know there's been some crazy in the romance world and it's scared me to death. So! I'm trans. Please don't be mean to me. I just want to share my stories with you! :)
It's not a long story this, but in it Nix Winter introduces a character who quite simply blew me away. I have a longstanding fascination with courtesans, which maybe helped.
Tosh is an extraordinarily beautiful male who sells his services at a very high price, giving clients what they need. From a certain perspective, he's just a very expensive and classy sort of whore. However, Nix has created the most generous, empathic and breathtaking character. Tosh gives and serves, he seems to reach into the soul of Cade - the other man in this story - to touch his pain and release it.
The story took my breath away, and I am quite honestly in love with the main character. He's the perfect fantasy of what we all need - the tolerant, patient lover full of compassion and understanding. The one who knows what we need without having to be told. The one who understands us, holds us, keeps us safe. He's the dream, the fantasy, and he made me think a lot about what I might need from such a character.
Nix writes so beautifully about love, healing, passion and sex. If your heart is heavy, her stories will help you feel better. They always work for me.
