Damian's Discipline by Parker Williams, K.C. Wells

5.0

Heartwarming, touching hurt-comfort romance! I loved the writing style and slow build-up as Damian steadily gains Jeff’s trust. The younger man has gone through some truly horrible things, and finds it hard – and understandably so - to believe that Damian, basically a stranger, is willing to help him so much, without expecting any kind of payment in return. I love the warmth and support that is so much a part of the world of the Collars and Cuffs characters, and it was wonderful to see Damian and Jeff grow closer. Damian doesn’t expect to fall for Jeff and fights his attraction because the timing is less than ideal as Jeff is still trying hard to heal and find his way. One of the (many) things I loved about this story is that Damian is willing to learn too and set out on a new path that Jeff and he can walk together. There’s a lot of sparks, and some hurt feelings and misunderstandings before Damian and Jeff finally get together in a cathartic, marvelous scene. Like all the other characters in this series, Damian and Jeff are well-rounded MC’s, authentic, and utterly lovable. Their emotional connection goes deep, and their journey towards a HEA is well-thought-out and sensitively written.

Narration: Nick J. Russo is an incredibly talented narrator, and he brings a warmth and a certain serenity to his performance that resonates extremely well with Damian’s character, but he also manages to convey the turbulence of Jeff’s emotions and the younger man’s vulnerability. I very much enjoyed listening to his narration of Damian’s Discipline, and liked all the distinct voices he did for the entire cast.
