*Re-read 7/9/14 for Re-Romancing the Faves Challenge- Still 5 stars. I love Kim Dare. The chemistry between her MCs is always off the charts, and her sex scenes are always HOT. I love how caring and sweet Justin is with Luke, esp after their fight and Luke watches Justin chatting with and dancing with another guy in the club. It was cute that Justin admitted he'd be jealous watching Luke with another guy and when Luke said the other guy was gorgeous, Justin said he wouldn't know because he was watching Luke the whole time. I'm such a sucker for guys being sappy!

They are too young to sound so expert on BDSM. Therefore, since MCs didn't seem credible, I lost interest.

Very frustrating at the end. Didn't feel finished for me. Very hot - all of it. I honestly enjoyed the first half and all but something's not right with this couple.
Not to mention that Justin pisses me off.

A light-hearted view of BDSM-lite. Not to say the book is silly or frivolous - it's not; it's just not overly angsty. I really liked both characters; I really liked how they progressed from a casual, twice-weekly hook-up to the possibility of more. Although it's a short story, it is well plotted and flows smoothly to it's final post-coital cuddle.

I enjoyed this story of cross-purposes and how the characters worked it out. One MC is 18 the other is 23. They seem so young!

Too YA for me - Justin was an 18 year old reactive teenager and a really bad Dom. He wanted more from Luke, who was a no relationship kind of guy. Justin pushed Luke for more and didn't have the maturity to manage the D/s relationship when Luke played passive aggressive.

Luke is 23 years old, sexually experienced, very ambitious, and driven to succeed in his career as a barrister. Though his sex life is nearly perfect, he doesn’t understand why he can’t last as long as his younger, inexperienced partner.
Each chapter of this story begins with a day – Saturday or Wednesday, the two days a week that Luke and Justin meet at the club and then return to Luke’s place for sex. Luke is much more comfortable just having sex, but 18-year-old Justin wants more. Though Luke is a leader in the courtroom, he is a submissive in the bedroom and wants Justin to be in control. Luke perceives his inability to last as a failing and becomes more determined to please his lover and Dominant. Unfortunately, lack of communication increases misunderstanding and jeopardizes their relationship.
Despite the story’s short length, the two main characters are fully developed and the emotional impact deeply felt. I loved their hot sex, their growing relationship and the humorous touches throughout. My only gripe is that Justin is way too young to be so self-assured, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story. I also loved the way the D/s lifestyle was explored, without violence or humiliation and lots of trust and love.
