They don't use condoms
There is dubious consent
Little if any lube
They do BDSM while drunk
They don't have safe words
There is sex with other men
It is gay porn. The cocks are at least nine or ten inches and always hard. The studs can come more than six times a night. They can withstand dry fucking with little or no prep. They can withstand abuse and even kidnapping.
So why 4 stars and not 1 or 2? Because underneath all these pornographic trappings is a book that delves into the line between abuse and BDSM and the part alcohol plays in both. It also shows how "true love" can hit even the most jaded player.
In this case, sobriety prevents Alex from expressing the kinky part of his personality.
The Epilogue is the true essence of the book. But it needed the details of the rest of the story to make it real.
Here we see the grown up versions of the two men ten years after they met and "tells" us how their relationship developed over those years. Some readers might have preferred to be "shown" that, but my imagination worked just fine in joining all the dots together based on the men I got to know through the first few chapters. It explores the way BDSM can fit into a "normal" relationship. How and when they switch into the groove. By being "told" we also see Rory's maturity and the understanding he has developed for his partner's needs and his own and how they can both be met.
Capped off by a novel way to use Maltesers.
I'm enjoying reading Jack Brighton's books and those of his alter ego's Tom Ferrell and Fergie Boy. Yeah, there is a sameness about the sex, but there is also a story there.
A few typos stop it being a five star. ( )
