This was the first M/M erotica I've ever read. I thought I might be uncomfortable with it, but wasn't. Both stories contain graphic BDSM scenes...which I found really interesting. Johnny was great, so sweet and niave (and HOT). Eric so strong and proud (and HOT). I loved seeing Eric's vulnerable side, and Johnny's tough side. And it was great that there was a continuation of their relationship into the second book. I never thought that a gay BDSM book would be as sweet and tender and as loving as I found this to be. ( )
