by
Kim Dare (Goodreads Author)

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the owner of the club is Peter Ingram, the silent partner in SKIN designs, which tec...more

What happens when you are ashamed of what you need sexually and are suddenly confronted with the option of finding out what it would be like to give in and discover what it’s like to get what you want? Floyd, out as a gay man but closeted as a sub, faces temptation of the highest order when a work project confronts him with Peter, a 24/7 Dom who ‘takes his leather very seriously’. The resulting inner struggle was fascinating to watch – on both sides.

Toby got signed an important Business contract. And now, his temporary boss will become his Master since Toby will sign another kind of contract: a slave contract.
Not the best story of Kim Dare, but still a good one. My problem with it is that we do not know the characters' background and that I am not fond of Sex God Dom (Hudson). I preferred when the Doms are strong alpha males, but still human beings. And the fact that Toby is so enthused about the contract he just signed and so excited about...more

Because I read the third book in the series first, I didn't know if Floyd really would lose his job over this ad campaign or not. This made me very, very anxious, because I don't like plots where one person has to engage with sexual activities they don't like in order to safeguard their employment. I want everyone either a) participating of their own free will or b) being clearly forced against their will, so they have no options. It's that third possibility, having a technical option, but one t...more

4.5 STARS! Kim Dare creates such wonderful, believable characters. She's done it again with Peter and Floyd in this story. But one of her greatest talents is how she "educates" without ever being preachy or boring. Those familiar with the D/s lifestyle find themselves nodding and smiling because her stories ring so true. And for novices or the merely curious, Dare manages to teach without the reader ever being....er....spanked with the information because the stories are so damned good....always...more
I thought this was a cute book. I love Floyd's character bless his heart, always blushing, unable to mask his feelings in appearance due to said blush. Then there is Peter... Can I just say yummy!! I love overbearing dominate men and he is just the very thing I needed. The author really did a grand job of showing the emotions and the personalities of the characters and for that I rate this a four out of five!!
3.5 stars. Good kinky m/m romance about an ad agency employee who's assigned to put together an advertising campaign for a leather club owned by one of the agency's partners. Although the employee isn't into bdsm, he offers to do a scene so he has a better idea what the club is about.
Peter was so gruff and cold that he was hard to relate to at times but I still really liked this one in this series. He eventually warmed a little as we got to know him. This story and the scenes had a little rougher edge to it which I greatly enjoyed.
I thought I'd love this one best and, as it turns out, I really love this one and the 4th one best. Peter is just..Peter. I really enjoy characters who have such a full bodied confidence and assurance that their actions can be measured, calm, and calculated. That type of control of oneself turns me on and makes me gravitates towards them. It is what draws me to a Dom. I liked Floyd but didn't love him. He was a little too much - but Peter was a great foil for him. I thought the business angle wa...more
Kim dare really writes an excellent, light bdsm story. This is no exception :) in fact, I think it's one of her better novellas
Love this series. Peter and Floyd are good together -look forward to what's in store for Jacob.
just couldn't get into it.
3.5 stars
I liked this book in the series because Peter Ingram was unabashedly all Dom and all Alpha male. Floyd was his unlikely pairing, but I do like the way they were thrown together. I appreciate when a character is not described as drop dead gorgeous, but more average and unobtrusive, but the other MC is still drawn to him.
