I pre-ordered this book because I really have enjoyed every single book from Jo Myles that I have read.  This book has BDSM and a touch of discipline and it was not heavy nor did it make you wince.  Jo Myles tackles both of these in a fun way.Cosmo comes into Alasdair's life during a job interview.  Cosmo is young 20-something taking advantage of unemployment benefits in order to get his music career going.  On the other hand you have Alasdair who has worked hard to get to where he is now.  When he learns what Cosmo is doing he is less than amused.  But he is also intrigued by Cosmo and his non-apologetic ways.They begin the sweetest of relationship where Cosmo breathes new life and joy into Alasdair's everyday.  And Alasdair brings order and focus into Cosmo's life to help him achieve his goals.As I mentioned earlier this book has a touch of BDSM but it is done in a very light and fun way. I like that Alasdair recognizes that Cosmo is only willing to submit to him in "the bedroom" but not in their every day life.  They do set up rules and limits which helps them achieve the level of trust both are looking in each other.  Alasdair even gets to discipline Cosmo for something really stupid he did but don't expect to be cringing when you read that.  I found that very refreshing as other disciplining scenes I have read in other books have tended to be cringe worthy at times.I originally read the free short that originated this book.  I actually think it is best to skip reading that one if you have plans to read the book.  I felt more satisfied reading how Cosmo and Alasdair's relationship developed in the book while the short had left more curious than satisfied.
