“Right on the edge of fear was where trust could grow.” ― Cherise Sinclair
This story centers around Kel. Ty and London are a heterosexual couple he meets and befriends while working in a pub they both frequent. Kel is ex military who is dealing with PTSD and is somewhat of a loner. Ty and London both trust and like Kel and are very interested in him being their sub.
This is my first time reading this author. The blurb sounded very interesting to me. Having read BDSM stories before, I knew I wouldn’t be uncomfortable reading it. I was also very interested in seeing how the author would write about an already established couple bringing in a third person as their lover who had no previous knowledge of the BDSM lifestyle.
I loved Ty and London as a couple. I loved how we got both of their POV’s in this story even though they weren’t the main characters. We really get to know them. They both knew what they wanted out of their relationship with each other and they were on the same page as to what they wanted in a sub. I felt they were a perfect fit for Kel.
I’m really glad the author showed Kel researching what it meant to be a sub. He had no clue what was expected of him and didn’t really think he could give control over to someone else. I loved how we saw the progress he made in being a sub.
The scenes when all three of them were together sexually were very well done. It was all very well balanced and no one was left out feeling like the third wheel. When they were together they were together as one. Ty was very patient with Kel and cared enough to make sure Kel felt comfortable and was at ease with what they were doing. Nothing felt forced and whatever issues Kel had with anything were dealt with realistically.
The only issue I had with this story was that we didn’t get a chance to really know what Kel’s military background was. I think if I had some backstory I could’ve had a better understanding as to why Kel was having nightmares and seemed to always want to run when things got to difficult for him to handle.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story and will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
I feel this is a great book for readers who have never read BDSM. It’s very light and gives a good understanding and intro to the lifestyle.
