Review: Typical Sean Michael D/s characters
Rating: 4 out of 5

Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 7/10PROS:- I love gruff characters who are also tender, who say sweet things and call people by pet names. Barney is all of these.- It's nice to read a Hammer story about a couple of regular guys who aren't rich and don't have the whole world at their fingertips.- There's never much beating around the bush with Michael's BDSM stories. The men know what they want, and they're straightforward about going after it.- If you like this author's typical submissive character--the fluttery little twink who talks 90 miles per hour and is uncertain about most everything in life except that he's looking for a Dominant partner--there are quite a few in this story. Some of them are a tad annoying, but on the whole, I thought they were adorable.CONS:- The entire story doesn't last more than a week or so, and considering the men are in forever love at the end of it, I didn't find it very believable.- Same comment that I put on pretty much every Sean Michael review I write these days: the editing is a disgrace. The wrong name is used here, a word is misspelled there...this sentence uses the wrong verb tense, that sentence is missing one or more words.Overall comments: You have to ignore a few pretty big coincidences to buy into this story (Barney being the first number Devon just happens to dial when he has a plumbing emergency, Barney already knowing about the Hammer club because he's saving up for a membership, etc.), but if you can, I think you'll find the story sweet.
