Moving from Seattle to Austin for a new job, hoping to find some action at Frankie’s Kink Club, and meeting April almost immediately may have seemed a godsend to Dennis…at first…but the road to their happily ever after takes longer than it could have and is VERY interesting to read!
What I liked:
* Stepping into the shoes of two people that took me outside of my norm
* April: complex, intriguing, intelligent, giving, loving, mother-hen-type, has some issues to deal with, good friend, pleaser, transgender female, sub, and so much more.
* Dennis: wealthy, attractive, dom, good friend, brother, son, bad breakup in the past, has much to learn and is willing to do so.
* Jason: wealthy, tech guy, friend of Dennis and April, owns Frankie’s, wise, would like to see him have his own book at some point in the future.
* The supporting characters
* The main characters had real issues to contend with in addition to their attraction to one another
* That the story was educational in addition to being a romance
* How issues were worked through and getting to see how the characters were thinking while acting
* That I liked the people in the story and cared about them, their lives, and the outcome of their stories
What I didn’t like:
* Knowing that bigotry still exists and how difficult it must be to live on the receiving end.
* That April and Dennis were not open at first but in the end it did work out alright.
* Having to say goodbye to the characters
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
