by
Kim Dare (Goodreads Author)
Paddle? Check. Flogger? Check. Leather cuffs? Check.
Scott has gathered his supplies. He's sent the anonymous note to his fantasy dominant. All he can do now is wait, and hope like hell that Joe's curiosity will get the better of him.
If Joe doesn't accept his invitation, Scott will be heartbroken. But if Joe does accept it, well, anything could happen.

An interesting, playful look at a young guy who is too shy to ask the man he’s interested in for what he wants. Instead, he sends a letter.
Interestingly, the story starts from Joe’s, the Dom’s, point of view. I liked the fact that I got to register his surprise and delight at Scott offering himself up. His decision to be careful as well as the difficulty he has in figuring out what Scott really wants, and what he is ready for. That was a good insight into what might be going on in someone’s head...more

This is my favourite kind of Kim Dare sugar-kink. Virginal-ish sub, toppy Dom with nice blend of arrogance and caring, and BDSM-lite. I read and enjoyed the first three in this series, BUT I will not buy the rest because I hugely dislike the practice of taking one full-length book, chopping it up into tiny sections, and selling each section at US$2.40. There's 12 in this series and each is a single nibble of the story. This means Dare will be charging US$28.80 for what should be one book, going...more
As always, I love Ms. Dare's characters, that they will do so much for what they want, no matter the cost or how scared they might be in the process. But this book seemed to start at the end, and I really wish we'd gotten to see more of the pining and watching and wondering, all the fun stuff that led up to this moment.
Still, it was a very cute, very sweet, very hot little short. Maybe it's just a fangirl failing that I always wish there was more more more.

Cute short story about a novice sub inviting the object-of-his-crush-Dom to a secret/mysterious rendezvous. Awesome kinkiness ensues.
This review is based on reading all 14 books in this series back to back. The series is completely published, and there is a chance that the entire series will be released as one book. If I had known that in advance, I would have waited to purchase it that way. Buying 14 books, most of which were only 30-40 pages, was very expensive.
Each book was basically one chapter/one scene in the lives of Joe and Scott. Pushing the Envelope refers to their method of setting up scenes. Scott, the sub, start...more

This series is designed to be read pretty much like each book is a new chapter. They are not standalone short stories and if you only read one or two, you will not get the full impact of the series as a whole. So do you rate the book or do you rate the series? I guess you can do both.

This story starts in middle of action, which was a bit disappointing for me, not knowing the characters and jumping directly into a bdsm scene.
The only thing what I did like were the emotions at the end, and a promise for more. Even if I have to admit that usually I don't like such plotted stories, which are to short for anything good, just for quick money. This will once again be one of those short series with low plotted chapters... which I definitely can't recommend on...

way too short. i was not happy with this story. the theme was good, but it just seemed to be a scene in a book. not really a whole book.
This novella is probably the weakest book I have read by Kim Dare so far. Once I started wondering how the sub had managed to tie himself up without assistance, I was unable to relax into the story at all. In the past I have often said that I wished Kim's books were longer but this would have to be the first time I thought that one of her books was incomplete. This novella/short is too shallow to satisfy IMO & I don't think I'll bother paying for the rest of the series. I must confess that I...more
A 3-2 read. Liked the set up of this one.
This was a great start to a 14 part serial or series. I am liking the characters so far and can't wait to see more of them. I am diving into part 2 now...
I never know how to rate these types of stories... do they deserve a "romance" rating. I suppose if you're into BDSM then this is a good romance. I feel so bad for Scott, being so tongue tied around the object of his obsession. But it seems to be working. The invitation was accepted and who knows where this will lead. Interesting short story if you are into Kim Dare or some lite BDSM.
3.5 stars. Good kinky short m/m romance about a dom who receives a very intriguing and mysterious invitation, which he can't resist.
Another fantastic read from Kim Dare!
Best part about this story for me? Joe setting the first rule for Scott to follow - and taking his envelopes and paper!
a very good start for this serie.
