I had this really odd feeling of having read pieces of this story before (toward the end) - must've been an excerpt I read somewhere recently.
This was a very cute, short story of a young man who isn't yet a sub catching the attention of a Dom who doesn't want to break in a newbie, but just can't help himself. I enjoyed it. You're left with the feeling that Eric is going to drive George nuts for a while until he gets used to the idea that George knowing what he's doing will make it be More...

Instead of writing a review on all of Kim Dare’s books, I’m just going to comment on “Turquoise and Leather” as I think it exemplifies her writing.
Her stories are short. Many of them are just a sampling of a “Day in the Life” taken of that precise moment when a Dom and submissive first get together.
In some author’s hands these would become boringly repetitive. But while the themes are repeated, her characters are so different they’re all worth reading. Each book has a “point” to it. More...

You know how sometimes the blurb to some stories never does the story justice? Well, I’m happy to say that the blurb to this story is right on target. The story is short, and the blurb covers what it’s about so well, that I’m almost afraid that I’ll give something away in a review of it. So, I’m going to keep it brief so I don’t ruin the story for you.

Playful and light-hearted. Most of Kim Dare's shorts are like a slight-kink-filled reprieve. Kind of like stopping at Starbucks on a whim and indulging in a Venti Caramel Frappuccino. A treat to yourself, something to make you smile.
Eric is the typical Sub that Dare sticks too - hyper, talkative, somewhat batty and bound to keep his Dom off-kilter. It doesn't help that he is practically an innocent - completely unaware what the wearing of his 'collar' means. I did like how he pursued More...

This is a really nice short story. I enjoyed the book from the first till the last page.
The characters are well described, the sex scenes very appealing.
But: it’s tooooooo short... ;-)
Kim Dare has showed in other books - especially
Duck! and With a Kiss - that she writes even better when she has more pages at her disposal. In her longer books she generates characters which develop at a slower rate. Therefore the characters can explore their p More...

I've not read anything by this author and was quite pleased to find that she writes interesting little stories. George is a Dom who is cruising a gay club. He sees a young guy dancing on a platform and decides he's going to be the pick-up for the night. However, before George can get to know the guy, he spies that he is wearing a collar and assumes that he is 'owned' by another Dom. Eric isn't owned by anyone except himself and is also attracted to George. George isn't interested in training up

In this short BDSM themed story, George and Eric are two opposite personalities that come together perfectly even if they don’t realize it at first. With a fast and easy flow to the book, concentrating on the sexual connection and of course multiple steamy sex scenes, this is a short read that is an entertaining bit of fluff. Although the characters lack any real depth, they are appealing and charming from the onset and their interaction is fun and amusing, keeping the story moving.

George is a Dom, he's quiet and rather reserved but knows exactly what he likes, and when he sees the sexy young guy dancing on a tabletop he's immediately interested. Eric isn't really into the BDSM scene, he's just out to have a good time when he accidentally ends up falling into the arms of a tall and sexy stranger. After clearing up a misunderstanding centered around the necklace Eric wears they decide to give in to the instant attraction they feel for each other and spend the night together

Oh I loved this book. As I said after reading blood slave I am not really a fan of D/s. However, in the books I’ve read from Kim Dare (so far) I actually like the individuality of the subs. They have their own take on how they are & the Dom’s have to comply (because there played at their own game – possibly innocently & not maliciously but to everyone’s satisfaction). All I wish is that it could be a little longer

I'm not sure that this writer really know about BDSM or if she just read about it or love some kink. This book felt really amateur to me.
Eric go to a BDSM club when he seems to have no knowledge about submission or a minimum of interest before that. The word used by George seems all foreign to him and he didn't even knew what a leather collar can signified!! When you go to this kind of club, it's because you're curious, maybe you're not sure if you like this lifestyle or not, but y More...

This is a short-short novella, so saying much more about it than the blurb would take us into spoiler territory. It covers a single night, when the experienced dom George picks up the inexperienced (as a sub) Eric. They both have their doubts about whether or not it's a good idea, but they both seem drawn to each other. It's a sweet story, but as with most shorter works, there's room for a lot more story than what you get.

Another great read by Kim Dare. I always end up enjoying her stories, I have yet to read one I don't like. This one is 50 pages of hot, steamy, romantic, m-m loving. ;) If you enjoy m-m, D/s, oral, foot fetishes, and of course romance and a HEA then this book is for you. Now, feet are a huge ick factor for me and even so, after reading this I found myself reconsidering it. Lol Miss. Dare definitely made it sound super sexy. So even if that's not your thing give T&L a try, I don't think you'll be

Yet another fun story from Kim. I really enjoyed the banter between Eric and George. I could almost feel Eric's hyperness and loved how George found ways to counteract it. As with most stories I read these days, I wish it were longer. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment of this series but I wish it was more Eric and George!

I liked this one very much - it is short but very well balanced. The stroy is about George and Eric's first night together which is also the beginning of their relationship.
I had to laugh out sometimes because Eric is so funny - the guy just can't shut up :) I would like to read more about George and Eric.

Aw, man. This had me grinning through the whole damn thing. Eric is adorable and George's reaction to him is perfect. It's a hot little story, but what struck me-- as is always the case for me with Kim Dare-- was how sweet and funny it was. Loved it.

It was cute, but I thought the dominant tried way too hard, so I wasn't impressed with him. But Eric was cute and well written.

I did like the fact that George didn't want to dominate Eric anywhere outside of the bedroom which put this book slightly above par.

This was a quick read and quite enjoyable. I liked the interaction between the characters and thought they were believable.
I would have liked it to be a bit longer, though and would not object to seeing these characters again in a sequel.

A cute, short story. I enjoyed the interaction between the two MC's. I enjoyed watch George deal with a sub that has never been a sub and Eric learn to be a sub and deal with a dom.
