Title: Once a Brat (Kinky Cupid, #1)Author: Kim DareCover Artist: L.C. ChasePublisher: Riptide PublishingReviewer: LynnGenre: ContemporaryType: RomancePairing: GayLength: NovellaHeat Rating: ♨♨♨♨Rating: ★★★★★Blurb:Experienced dominant Marcus Tremayne has a stalker. On the plus side, the boy following him around his local leather club is gorgeous and a self-professed submissive. Unfortunately, he's also inexperienced, bratty, and liable to drive Marcus insane within his incessant chatter and questions.Bret Daniels fell head over heels with Marcus the moment he first saw him. He's willing to do whatever it takes to get Marcus's attention and prove his worth as a submissive. He might not be a traditional sub, but he knows he has a lot to offer a dom who can handle his quirks.When Marcus gives in and agrees to do a scene with Bret, sparks fly. One scene quickly becomes another, and another. But will it be a case of once a brat, always a brat? Bret intends to prove to Marcus that--expectations and experiences aside--he deserves his master's collar.Review:Marcus Tremayne has a stalker. He knows it...hell everyone at Spread Eagle knows it. Bret Daniels has been less than subtle, but only one Dom has made him feel this way. Bret has a lot of work to do to prove he is worthy of Marcus, but he is more than willing to take each step together.I really loved the characters in this story. I was so glad to see a Dom willing to show a new sub the ropes without making him feel like he isn't worthy of a D/s relationship. The attraction between Marcus and Bret had from the first page.The scenes in Once a Brat were really well written. They were fresh and sexy! Nothing felt rushed or out of place. I also loved when Bret dropped the ball, literally. I don't know why, but this scene really got to me. The care Marcus showed was brilliant.This wasn't my first Kim Dare story, but I do have to say this is one of my favorites from her.  I hope this is actually a part of a series. I am dying to read more about McCormack!I would recommend this book to anyone starting out in the BDSM genre and anyone who loves a good D/s story.
