I received this book via Goodreads' Don't Buy My love program in exchange for an honest review.My God. I'm freaking crying.Oliver was Jeffrey Kuyper's muse. Jeffrey died in a car wreck, and his estate works are up for auction. Oliver wants the last piece Jeffrey painted of him--it was a private moment, and it's on the auction block. Oliver loses in the bidding, but the buyer offers him the painting in exchange for a weekend together.Oliver is stunned, but he can't refuse the Dark Collector.Their weekend together is intense. Moments of sadness cut through Oliver--who tries to remember this is a transaction. He doesn't wish to be loved by the man owning him. He loved Jeffrey--and has been celibate for the year since Jeffrey has passed. And yet, this Dom, this Dark Collector, seems to know exactly how to twist Oliver to draw out his pain and suffering and leave him feeling cleansed and satisfied, it's a weekend of healing for Oliver--a weekend to relinquish his grief. Which he does.I loved every second of it. It is a short book, but each word carries immense weight. The end is brilliant and all I could have hoped for.
