Review: Great for m/m romance readers curious about BDSM
Rating: 5 out of 5

I started this book with an open mind and minimal knowledge about the Dom-sub relationship. What I found was a well-written story about a police detective, Gavin, who has been closeted for years, even from himself. Married to a family-approved woman and determined to keep his head down and never complain, Gavin's world falls apart when he begins investigating the murder of Dom. The line of inquiry takes Gavin to a leather club, Collared, and introduces him to Ben, an experienced Dom who may or may not have ties to the killer. As the story unfolds, Gavin is forced to confront not only his buried sexuality, but also his secret submissive tendencies.I don't believe in giving away too many spoilers, but let me add this: I never understood the Dom-sub dynamic until I read this book, and the scenes of Gavin's training are incredibly hot. I can't imagine fans of m/m romance will be disappointed, and if you want to learn about dominance and submission, the careful and respectful discussion is certainly a bonus.
