John is so in the closet he can't admit to himself that the sexual encounters he has with men mean he is gay.  His mother walked out on the family when he was four (his falter said she died of cancer, neighbors say he murdered he and hid the body) and his father was difficult, very Catholic and not accepting.  He retired from the Army as a Captain and now owns a gym.  He has decided to look for his Mum and for that he finds Sky, a private detective.  John is fit and well put together, Sky has an eating addiction and is a big bear of a man with weight and esteem issues.  Sky is openly gay which John rejects at first because he is straight (well that is what he keeps telling everyone including himself).  Imagine their surprise when Sky's a quickie in a BDSM club turns out to be John - awkward!Both men are damaged by their past.  Sky was a Romanian 'orphan' who not only endured hunger, neglect and abandonment but also abuse.  John was abandoned and emotionally neglected.  They decide to trade services - Sky will find John's Mum, John will find Sky's waistline.  Their relationship develops and there is BDSM involved with the Master/Slave focus - but it is mutual and it is a need fulfilled by both of them.I really like this book and couldn't stop reading it.  It wasn't what I thought it was going to be - it was actually quite different but very, very enjoyable.  If Fyn Alexander writes more like this I will be first in line.
