I read this straight after the prequelLorcan's Desire (Whispering Pines Ranch)and am pleased with the smooth flow of the story. The writer has conveyed each man's inner turmoil well as they circle around each other. It is one emotional ride from beginning to end. What I don't get is Quinn's delving into the BDSM world, which just does not fit into the story. So Quinn needs an outlet to vent his anger and pain. But this excuse is pretty lame when Quinn easily gives up and even forgets about this new found kinkiness of his once he got his man. Also there is too much sex. One whole chapter devoted to the BDSM scene between Quinn and Ty is just overboard when BDSM is not even to be part of Quinn's future with Lorcan. It is as if the writer is trying to invigorate the erotic part of the story by forcing BDSM sex into the story. Then there are all those sexual innuendo/references scattered through the story. Gets to be tiring after awhile, especially in the midst of emotional pain. Can't two guys be in the same room without feeling aroused ? Yup I know this is MM romance but too much of these sexual references just "cheapen" the romance side. Still a pretty good story as these flawed characters stumbled, fell and picked themselves up in their love life.
