Patricia Logan, sometimes dubbed the Queen of the BDSM M/M erotic romance genre has given us a holiday present with her latest novella, Trask.  I like almost all aspects of this and her previous books, but particularly the alternate BDSM universe she has created starting with her book, Silver Ties, and continuing it through her Master's Boys series and now her Invitation Only series.  In this alternate universe we meet and get to follow many of the Doms and Subs and staff of two BDSM clubs, one in California and the this new one in Austin Texas, both owned by the same man who runs his clubs and the internet streaming from his clubs in a clean and decent environment and where the Doms are well trained and caring for their Subs, who are sometimes professional subs but most of the time are members of the club who wish to participate in BDSM scenes that are viewed both on cable tv and in front of live audiences.  In each of her books there is usually an individual Dom and usually, but not always, a specific Sub who develop a loving long term relationship.  In a few instances like in this book, a Dom falls in love with a staff member who is not necessarily into the BDSM scene.  The Dom in this book, Valentine,  has arrived from Russia where he and most other gay men are in constant danger.  He has had a terrible loss in Russia and doesn't think he will be able to have any further relationships until he meets the Executive Chef, Trask who arrives at the club after having come up through the ranks of the cooking world subsequent to having been used by a particularly disreputable gay porn company while he was still a minor.  Patricia gives us a chance to see the BDSM world through the eyes of these two new arrivals at the club and watch  a beautiful love story between them develop although it is nearly undone by a psychopathic stalker.  While this book is a little light on the sex scenes, it still contains enough to steam up the mirrors in your house.  While the book is most enjoyable if you have been reading the previous ones referred to in this review, it can also be enjoyed as a stand alone novella.  Give yourselves a particularly delightful and steamy present by buying and enjoying this superb book as soon as possible.
