Lawyer Cary "Colt" St. John, who is a Dom in a BDSM club, has lost interest in the repetitive encounters with one-night subs. Then the janitor, Ashton Lake, who cleans his law offices, catches his attention. Ashton is shy and everything says Colt that he is submissive. So Colt decides to go on the hunt and to make everything needed to catch Ashton in his net. Since Ashton works at night, Colt begins to work later than usual. I like how Colt wasn't interested in Ashton's social status, but more concerned about what kind of person Ashton was. All throughout you get to see about two men who really needed each other, but they both had to let go past hurts and damaging behaviours. It was only toward the end of the book that you could see both men coming to trust their feelings for each other.The story is well written. The author gives us enough background to understand her MCs. Ashton is a born submissive and his trouble with drugs and past relationships with girls has not given him much confidence. Colt has full confidence in his professional abilities, both as a lawyer and a Dom, but he's never had a real relationship with a lover. The author explores the D/s relationship beyond the sexual aspect.I have read a Jack Brighton's story on the same subject that was hotter than this one, but Born to please is good too. I was told that it's not the best of Hauser's books though. So, maybe I should try her other books.
