Slow Hand by Nora Phoenix

5.0

I went into this one without reading too much about it and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! I was hesitant about the age play since I don’t generally like It but I enjoyed it in this book.

The beginning was definitely heavy and dark, the boys being so traumatised by what happened to them, but seeing them slowly open up and trust Master Ford was just precious. I loved the character developments and the slow build of trust and attraction between the men. Master Ford is such a gentle and caring Dom and the way he approached and adapted around the boys was amazing to read.

There’s a lot happening in the story and sometimes it felt like a bit too much. I think it would have been better to scale back on some things that wasn’t explored or explained further in the book.

Overall a really beautiful and emotional story, the perfect mix of angst and healing / happiness. Definitely one of the best hurt / comfort books I’ve read!
