I would classify this book as a love story set in a fantasy world rather than erotica or BDSM even though it is about a whorehouse of boys for men and whips play an important role. All of the sex and s/m elements take place behind closed doors.
The relationship between the two men who own the whorehouse, Michael and Janus is one of those unforgettable pairings that will live with the reader long after they finish the story.
Catana's review sums up the plot really well.

The synopsis does a great job of telling you what the story is about, so I won’t attempt a summary but merely focus on the elements I enjoyed the most.
The Setting
The author, Dusk Peterson, does a wonderful job in creating a unique world set during Edwardian times. From the buildings to the wardrobe and the attitude of the people, every detail is described in a way that drew me into the story and made the story come to life.

There can’t be too many subjects more difficult to write about than child prostitution. How much more difficult to write about a young man who survived being forced into prostitution when young, and grew up to become the part-owner and master of... a male whorehouse. For Michael, so badly damaged that his emotions are all but non-existent, his house is a way to protect boys who would otherwise wind up either in the most brutal whorehouses or dead in the streets. In a time and place where love be...more

This was an amazing book to read. The detail the author gave in regards to the relationship between Michael and Janus was remarkable. It was at the same time very complex and very simple, two halves of a whole.
I started this story a little skeptical because of some of the subject matter, but soon realized that it was so much more. It is easy to see that the author cared about how this story was told, and more importantly (at least to me) was how Michael cam...more

Dusk Peterson writes fantasy, historical fantasy, science fiction, and contemporary fiction. Suspense plays an important role in many of the tales; the conflict in those tales is both external and internal. Peterson's stories are often placed in dark settings, such as prisons or wartime locations. The mood of the stories, however, is not one of unrelieved gloominess: friendship, heterosexual love,...more
