I just re-read the last page of this book before starting to write this review and I found my heart welling with emotion, my eyes growing moist, just as they did the first time I read this wonderful book by Patricia Logan. Kaden, the third book in her "Master's Boys" series, presented both a wonderful continuation of different relationships (Zack & Cassidy, Phoenix & Trick, Terrance & Jett) as well as the lovely addition of Rokuro and Kaden. Admittedly, it was difficult to like Kaden at the beginning of the book, but I believe that was the intent. But as we received pieces of his back story, as he responded to Master R's domination, Kaden became a sympathetic character. I particular enjoyed the talk of karma, aura etc that came out in such a way to show that Rokuro truly believed in what he was saying. I most specifically enjoyed the descriptions of his serenity and how Kaden noticed that and the differences between Zack and Rokuro. Again I noticed how deliciously Patricia will use terms use as "Master," "boy," "dominant" etc rather than overuse of first names. I giggled like a loon to see author GA Hauser and her book "The Farmer's Son"- I so enjoy seeing erotica writers support each other by "dropping names" like this. Plus GA Hauser is another great GLBT writer. I appreciated the inclusion of Shibari in this book; it was particularly enjoyable how Master R talked Kaden through experiencing the pain of a scene. I can't wait for the next book in this series!
