Kim Dare is a consistently excellent writer of M/M erotic romance novels, usually involving kinky sex to one degree or another.  For those of you who shy away from BDSM, you can enjoy this delightful book since there is very little kinky sex in it.  We  have met one of the two principal characters, Tony, in Kim's previous book in this series, Worth Waiting For, since he is the older brother of Colby, one of the principal characters in that book.  Tony is bisexual and actively so, with a reputation of never staying longer than one night with a woman or a man with whom he has had some kinky sex.  Donovan has wanted to meet and get to know Tony intimately but is afraid to do so because of his reputation and Donovan, having been abused by a previous boyfriend, thinks that all Doms like Tony are equally abusive.  He agrees to a date with Tony when he overhears Tony's friends kidding him about not having sex for three weeks, feeling that he would be safe for a while.  Kim then delights us with a slowly evolving story that reveals Tony's really decent character and the evolving love of Tony and Donovan.  Realizing what Donovan has previously experienced with a particularly nasty Dom, Tony very carefully educates Donovan in what a true BDSM relationship involves and slowly overcomes his fears and reluctance. My only complaint is that Kim ended the book before the two were just about to get into some kinky sex which I felt deprived the reader of some highly anticipated pleasure. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining read and should not be missed.
