Scott lives in his own world of graphic novels, books and fantasy, and they have made his entire life tolerable. In the final semester of his senior year of college,  and grad school waiting just around the corner, he sincerely believes that he will be alone for a long time. His few attempts at relationships, if that what you could call them, have failed. One day, in his most comfortable of all places, the library, he is accosted by a popular football jock. When he is rescued by a library assistant, a grad student working on his doctorate, he can't quite figure out why.Mark is his savior, an slightly older, confident, and caring man. And what Scott can't quite believe is the almost immediate and intense attraction that Mark seems to have toward him.This is a story about what their mutual interests and feelings have on the building of a strong relationship between them. They discover that they both have an inclination toward sex that includes mild bondage.Where this leads them in their new relationship forms the premise for this well written, loving and surprisingly thought provoking story of two souls looking for the right partner and learning what each must give to make it work.I found the issue of bondage, as used in this story, to be acceptable, never making me feel that anything more than an expression of love was being demonstrated. No whips. No chains. No flogging. Just the strength of a powerful emotion called love.In recommending this book, I want to say that at no time did it make me feel uncomfortable. But, because bondage is a part of the lovemaking, I feel it necessary to mention it. Some readers may feel that this is outside of their comfort zone. With that said, it is truly a gentle and kind romantic story, written by an author who knows her craft very well.
