Very well done!!!
Dane is an attorney with his own law practice. He’s older, sure of himself and almost free of his estranged wife of 26 years. He’s not sure that he’s ready for a relationship but he is looking for something.
Nick is younger and about to enter the “real world” and begin working. He is sure of his sexuality but it causes issues with his father. He struggles with becoming an adult if it means he has to become what his father wants.
When Nick meets Dane, he flirts with the older, sexy man and offers him an evening of talking or whatever. Talking turns into a night of amazing sex. The night answers questions that Dane had but causes Nick to rethink what he thought that he already knew.
I wasn’t sure how this self discovery book was going to work itself out but K. Webster did a fantastic job. Both Dane and Nick were confident and there weren’t any awkward, unsure issues or that terrible relationship denial that many books like to do.
I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

☆ 2.5/5 ☆
K. Webster est une auteur à la réputation sulfureuse, aussi ai-je lu ce livre en connaissance de cause.
Seulement, hormis la 1ère scène de sexe complètement surréaliste, il n'y a rien de vraiment tabou dans ce livre, que ce soit la différence d'âge importante entre les deux hommes, ou les liens professionnels qui les unissent. Alors oui, le langage est vulgaire et cru (et moche), mais la romance est assez classique, d'autant qu'on est en plein dans l'instalove.
La romance est somme toute assez plaisante à lire, les deux hommes s'engagent très vite dans une relation sérieuse, alors même que Dane a toujours refoulé son attirance pour les hommes, et que Nick est réfractaire à toute forme d'engagement ...
L'histoire secondaire est sans surprise, et enfonce des portes ouvertes, mais elle réserve des moments d'émotions que je ne m'attendais pas à trouver dans ce livre (mais bon pour moi, c'est quand même assez facile).
En fait, ce qui m'a vraiment dérangée dans ce livre, c'est l'absence totale de nuances, et la vulgarité de l'écriture, un peu comme ces gens qui font exprès de parler fort (et mal) pour se faire remarquer. Les personnages secondaires sont outranciers, vulgaires et caricaturaux à souhait (à l'exception de Mel & Stan), une belle brochette de cons, en somme. Enzo & August relèvent quand même eux aussi le niveau, et je me laisserai peut-être tenter par le tome, quand (et si) il sortira.
Une lecture rapide donc, moins érotique que ce que le résumé ne laisse à penser, c'est une histoire qui se laisse lire, mais l'auteur en fait trop à mon goût.

Holy smokes was this book good. One of my favorite Author's of Taboo K Webster has done it again with her M/M story. I don't normally read M/M but here lately I've been coming out of my comfort zone and when I found out it's by this lady I was DTR (down to read) Ha. This is the story of 2 men Dane & Nick they weren't looking for love, but love found them instead and the happiness they both had struggled to find in their everyday life. This was so good I couldn't put it down the whole time. I definitely would recommend reading this book.
This is just my opinion and my voluntary review

Nothing hotter than 2 alphas dueling for control...until you have to alphas submitting to each other. Hot!
I loved reading about Dane and Nick when they were a one night stand but I love their story even more now that it's everything ever after!
Love comes in many forms and sometimes not until after we think "it's too late." Dane was done with love and willing to suffer the rebound one nights his pending divorce seemed to attract. Was. Until a naughty Santa stole his attention and his body...

I loved Nick and Dane's story! Another fantastic sexy taboo story from K. Webster. I loved the age gap, and felt like these two were perfect for one another. K. Webster has yet to disappoint me and Dane was everything I had hope for and more. It was sexy and erotic, but still relationship driven with sweet and emotional moments that made this one impossible to put down. Dane will leave you swooning and ready for more from K. Webster.

Wooooooo man... Dane... Dane... Dane...
What is a man to do when he gets to the end of his marriage and is presented with the opportunity to follow his desires? He follows them of course and finds his own little Christmas miracle.
Dane is finalizing his divorce and is sitting at the bar during his office's Christmas party when St. Nick saunters over and offers up a private after party drink that Dane cannot resist.
Nick is lost in a way you don't expect one of the alphas of this story to be. He has a lot of issues that you don't really see from the surface, but once Dane decides that he wants to see if there is really anything there to pursue.
This wasn't as Alpha/Alpha as I was hoping with them, but I did really like the fact that there was some inst-love and HEA for the men at the end of the story. I certainly connected with the social work aspect, as that is similar to what I do for work, so it was nice to see some positive light shone on that.
This was definitely a merry read and I was glad to see some Christmas spirit for Dane and Nick!

probably shouldn't be supporting k. webster but here i am
this was shockingly similar, plot wise, to another MM i just read. characters that don't realize they like men, move ins before the relationship has developed. but this one was just meh. there was tons of gratuitous sex which i thought i'd be here for but since the characters were so blah to me i just couldn't love it.
there's also an age gap... which again. i usually love. but i just didn't care.
there were also some problematic elements here. i didn't believe dane's change in sexuality. i understand that people can be closeted most of their life, they can be married with kids and then come to terms with the fact that they're not hetero. but in this case it seemed like dane still liked women but was just like "FUCK IT I CAN ONLY BE GAY."
also not a huge fan of when the male character is resentful of an ex. i prefer it when they are sad or heartbroken lol. just not here for low key woman hate.
overall sort of a waste of time. so.

Simply delicious
These taboo treats from K Webster are seriously hot and beyond exceptional. Dane and Nick are no exception. I must confess they are my favorites. Two sexy men that both like to be the boss, meet by chance, one taking what he has always dreamed of and never looking back. The other has never had it easy and does honestly not think he can make anything work long term. Little does he know that the choice has already been made for him. Their story is beautiful and anyone would be lucky to find what they have. Another five star treat by K Webster!
