Status Updates From On His Knees (Blasphemy, #4)

Sigh. /me does math. So they met a week before Christmas and are declaring undying love on Jan 3. Not just realized it might be true. But full on declarations. I tried I did to hoist up my disbelief high enough to buy it. But I can’t. Not even when I take into account the superficial intensity bdsm can add. These men are both ciphers to me. Insta-love is not one my fave tropes

I am such a sap. Been sniffling through the last chapter

Why is Laura Kaye singing the song of my people?
“everything seemed to be a competition of wills with Alex, and somehow that managed to be funny and frustrating and infuriating and sexy all at the same time.”

First time I’ve seen this excellent piece of advice in a BDSM romance; Getting to know the other submissives will be useful to you.

In spite of the fun in the writing, I have to do my BDSM PSA thing. For a dom to assume control of a sub, especially a brand new one, is seven kinds of wrong.
They’re putting themselves and the sub into a position where violating consent is inevitable.
Assuming control without it is already pushing the boundaries of appropriate consent. And goes way beyond the boundaries of explicit consent

And with this: The guy smelled mouthwateringly good, and Alex kinda wanted to beat his ass for it.
Kaye has quelled my need to bitch for a while. What a hotfunnysexy gem of a sentence

Skimming. Feels very retro bdsm and m/m. Also, Alex’s whole vibe in this scene feels wrong. Stilted, robotic. A som cutout rather than a real man

Oh. My. God.
