About The Book: Dante knew Daniel was the man for him the minute he said his first curse word. He was everything Dante could ever want in a sub: gorgeous, spunky, and totally into the lifestyle Dante enjoyed most. But nothing's ever as simple as it should be. When Dante gets called away on business he expects to be gone for a couple of weeks. He figures to claim Daniel when he comes home, but two weeks quickly turn into six months.

When Dante finally returns, everything he'd been looking for in a mate is gone. Daniel's been assaulted and beaten by a Dom out of control. He no longer trusts anyone—including Dante.

Determined to find the man he knows Daniel can be, Dante moves Daniel into his home and his life. But along with Daniel's insecurities and lack of trust, Dante has to fight the

Dom that assaulted Daniel in the first place and a host of other misunderstandings before he can prove to Daniel that what they have is worth fighting for.

The Review: This is a moderately well-written, if a little on the long side, story that conveys the nature of a specific aspect of the gay lifestyle. It has its drawbacks, but overall, it succeeds.

The author introduces some elements that prove undeveloped or unnecessary to her story, while leaving others unresolved. Among the former are the reference to Joey’s father and the 23-year old still-in-school son of one of the street thugs [that section is not convincing]; the latter includes, importantly, the reasons for Dante’s six month disappearance and details regarding the abuse experienced by Daniel. Also, somewhat convincing are the actions of the fake policeman who kidnaps Daniel.

Unfortunately, the key characters come across as two-dimensional, almost stereotypes for some types of homosexuals. That makes their stories somewhat unbelievable, more fantasy than factual in their fictional presentation.

That being said, the real plus in this story is its insight into an aspect of the gay lifestyle, which is not really BDSM, but D. A better understanding of the dynamics, rules, limitations, and actions of gays involved in orchestrated sexual scenes is to be gained from this story, as well as an appreciation of the way by which love developes between men within this context. 

For that alone I recommend this story.

Pagan Elements: None  

Cover (Rated 1-10): 8. The cover aptly suggests the main characters as well as the homoerotic nature of the story, though not its key element of discipline.  I would be interested in examining the book further based on this cover.
