I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t read the first book Addicted, yet I had no trouble picking up the thread of the book. In this particular story, Damien is having problems with his ex-wife regarding visitation with his sons. While brooding and waiting for his lover to appear, Damien wins quite a bit of money in Vegas and happens to meet a lawyer who offers to help Damien with his custody problem with his sons. Although preoccupied, Damien doesn’t let anything stop him and Vic from having a great, sexually charged weekend together. But once both men return to the Marine base, Damien is informed that his ex-wife has been brutally killed and all evidence points to Damien as a suspect.
This is easily read as a stand-alone book, but the purpose of the story is missing without the context of a larger series. This reads as a definite interlude with multiple questions proposed in the book that are unresolved. The questions of who killed Damien’s ex-wife, Damien’s status as a potential suspect, possible exposure of Damien and Vic’s relationship, and others are all left hanging, presumably for yet another sequel. Thus leaving this book as an inserted short story meant to further Vic and Damien’s relationship without having a definite start and finish to the story itself.
Damien and Vic are given enough definition to interest me without having read how they got together. Clearly a heavy BDSM element is involved in their sexual dynamic and Damien is referred several times as the “sub”. However these roles seem rather fluid and changeable to fit the needs of their relationship rather than conventional roles, which gave the duo an engaging freshness to their intensity. The immediate reactions of both men to each other indicate a deep and heart felt relationship that was clearly seen in their sexual encounters. Neither man hesitated in communicating their feelings, both good and bad, showing a clear emotional connection that went beyond the physical.
The writing was decent and led to an easily readable, yet forgettable book. There was no real defining moment but the hanging questions are meant to entice the reader to continue with the series. The tone of the book did tend to slide into melodramatic with several commentaries similar to this quote:
The love – God, the love!- surrounded Damien’s heart and annihilated what was left of his control.
While this over the top narration was repeated a few times, overall this was an easy and quick read that satisfied with hot, kinky sex scenes and likeable enough characters. For those who are fans of the series will likely want to continue. If someone wants to read a quick and decent read, this may give you that for an easy afternoon.

January 25, 2021I don’t know how to review this. The sequel to “ Addiction”
Vic and Damien spent a weekend in Las Vegas fucking like bunnies. When Damien got back he was arrested because his ex wife and her bf were murdered and Vic helped him out of jail telling them he was with him the whole time, just 2 old friends hanging out together in Vegas.
They went to Damien house, had sexy times in the shower.
End of the story 😆
I’m going to read the last sequel, out of curiosity 🙄
