Book Summary

 

Love hurts...if you're lucky.

Kaden knows he's dying, but before he goes, he has one problem he needs to solve - he must ask his oldest friend Seth to take over as his beloved wife's Dom and Master after his death.

Seth has always seen himself as the perpetual screw-up and Kaden as the strong and steady one, so his friend's request rocks his world. Now Seth finds himself immersed in a role he's far from comfortable with: inflicting pain to provide emotional comfort for the woman he's secretly loved for years. Can he deal with his crushing grief and learn the skills he must master in time to become THE RELUCTANT DOM?

Warning: m/f/m menage, anal sex/play/toys, BDSM, bondage, D/s relationship, and the lesser-known "normality" of the world of BDSM

 

 

My Review

 ( I read this book back in Dec 2011 but didn't do a post. It deserves one. Better late than never.)
 

AN AMAZING BOOK

I feel numb after reading this book.  I freely admit I am an emotional sap.  I’m the kind of girl that can cry over the right commercial.  But it’s been a while since a book has made me feel this way.  Still I continue to reflect over these characters.  I rarely re-read entire books.  But I find myself considering re-reading this one and I’ve only just put it down. 

In simple terms, this book is about three friends that have to deal with the loss of one of them.  This story shows how they cope and plan, laugh and cry, and then move on when tragedy strikes.

This book’s title may deceive you like another book. This book is more than the BDSM title suggest.  Yes, there is sex in this book and plenty of it.  But there is meaning behind each act.  There is a point to everything that goes on.  This book differs from the other book that many talk about.  There isn’t a bad boy that needs to be saved.  But there is someone or more than one that need to be healed in this story.

I find myself very much in love with the martyr of the story.  How can you not love someone who is so selfless to give up everything for your happiness?  I think I may have found my book husband.  His name is Kaden.

This author has succeeded on so many levels.  I don’t know that I would have ever thought to mix BDSM with personal tragedy in such a way and succeed.   Who would think a book about this subject would have you in tears to the point you finish a box of tissues?  Certainly not me.  For the most part, I was unable to put this book down and finished in one day.  I have to give my hand to this author and will look for more books by her.

I recommend this book to mature audiences.  Those who love Fifty Shades of Grey will love this book.  It’s is very different than that one though.
