This book is getting moved into my top 5 (maybe into even into the #1 spot) as one of the best m/m stories I have come across. Gavin is a detective investigating a murder in the BDSM world and Ben is a physiologist working as a consultant on the case. Ben is into the scene and Gavin isn't but finds it all very intriguing and from the moment they meet on the job, I just couldn't wait for them to get together and I wasn't disappointed. The BDSM scenes were hot and realistic in how someone new might be introduced into the lifestyle. Even when they weren't in the playroom or bedroom, there was still fascinating interaction between the two, especially when their jobs conflicted with each other. The crime story that pushed the relationship along wasn't just an afterthought, either, proving to be just as involving as the relationship side, creating a perfect balance between the two aspects. Very well written and well paced. Great story, good price for the length--I would recommend this wholeheartedly.
