The biggest "kink" critique I would make is the first physical encounter turned into "non-consensual, forced" role play that would normally requires a level of trust and understanding the two hadn't developed.

I normally avoid romance stories that involve BDSM, as I found they generally seem very off-the-mark compared to my years of personal experience in "the Scene." This title is different, being the first I've read that doesn't simply throw in a little pseudo-domination, force, non-consent, or pain labelled as BDSM for titillation's sake, but instead presents motivations, desires, and at least some self/partner negotiations that ring true for at least part of the "real-life" BDSM community.Īlso, the "submissive" librarian included preachy (in a very good way for me) strength and patience while the detached, strong "Dominant" character had his own vulnerabilities.
The author includes a bit of an exploration of the way gender/masculine roles interplay with the gay, small town experience. Similar to the preceding, first book in this series, this is romantic story with plenty of erotic heat. (3.5 for the story, 4 for the heat, and 5 for exploring characters in the context of gay bear/geek, brain/brawn, and D/s interplay in a small town)
