Description

What happens when the man you left suddenly becomes the man you need? Richard and Dave have a past together, but back then they couldn't give each other what they needed. When they meet again, it's both awkward and wonderful. Richard is far more confident now, and he knows he can be the sort of lover Dave requires. Dave has some secrets that might blow up in their faces, though, and a serious case of self-doubt. Can he and Richard make a future for each other and fight the demons in their past?

This was a good erotic romance with some very light BDSM (mostly restraints, a little spanking and some toys). Richard and Dave dated once, but Dave needed something Richard was unable to give at the time. Now, when they meet up again years later, Richard is an experienced top. Dave is in desperate

need of someone to take him in hand and give him the love he needs. But, Dave is being stalked by a man who nearly destroyed him.

Dave and Richard make a nice couple, and the romance is fun with a LOT (A LOT) of hot sex. However, this novel is really more a long novella. The 248 pages shrinks when the large margins are removed. Also, the villain is not developed at all, making him more of a shady spectre that appears suddenly at the end to cause tension. Those looking for steamy BDSM in the manner of the Deviations series will be disappointed, but those wanting a little kinky sex to spice up the romance will find it here. This was well worth reading, but I recommend getting the e-book for much less than the cost of this paperback.
