McCormack thinks he’s teaching Theo how to be a good sub for a friend, but things get complicated when he starts to fall for Theo. McCormack was very hardcore, and I wasn’t quite sure how he and Theo would work out in the long run. Although told from both POV’s, I really didn’t feel like I got to know Theo well enough. The overall story had a slightly negative vibe to it which was unusual for a Kim Dare story and also detracted from it.
Ricky hooks up with a master online and is meeting him at the club. Lucky for Ricky, his friend Bret saves him from meeting the online jerk and instead introduces him to Jack. I liked getting both of their POV’s and enjoyed getting to know both characters. Steamy sex scene included bondage.
I enjoyed watching Dave take Nicholas on a search for a special butterfly, and I loved the descriptions of the land and the butterflies. Unfortunately, I assumed it would serve as the backdrop for the development of a romantic relationship, but instead it was the stronger focus for the entire story. I still don’t understand their romance, since I never saw the two of them really get to know each other. The entire story is told from David’s point of view, and yet I still barely feel like I know him. I couldn’t tell you what happened between him and Denise, the former love of his life, even though they are still best friends. Several parts of the story felt this way. We were told something happened, but not exactly what happened or why it happened. Nicholas has an issue, but more than half the book passes before we find out what it is, and during that entire time, Nicholas plays this elusive character who barely shares anything about himself. The epilogue was sweet, and those who really enjoyed this story will definitely want to read the sequel, Of Dreams and Ceremonies.
Erotic tale, with touches of BDSM, about love being worth more than all the riches in the world. Told from Ferro’s POV, a strong and rebellious son of royalty with a miserable life. He has just found himself being sold as a slave along with Lisias. Although Lisias seemed to lead a simple life, we didn’t learn much about him. Last quarter slammed home the romance!
