Once a Brat by Kim Dare
3.0
I'm kind of ambivalent about this book. On the one hand, it's a cute, hot, fast-reading story with BDSM elements that I enjoyed. That, by itself, is pretty rare and I'm glad a friend loaned me this book. On the other hand, it falls too much on the 'fantasy' end of things for me to really love it.
Everything is perfect: Marcus is a perfect Dom, Bret is a brat, but he's still the perfect sub for the jaded Marcus (and to be fair and honest, I really did love Bret's presentation; committed and deeply wanting to submit, but not a boot-licking, cringing mess), the sex is perfect, and they're in love and ready to commit to collaring after...what? Three scenes together? It's an overdose of perfection.
However. I can't overlook the fact that these are normally HUGE peeves of mine, and yet Dare wrote it with a sense of fun and fantasy that made me still find the story very enjoyable. That's no small feat and takes talent.
