There is a solid plot here to back the BDSM dynamics happening between our two guys. What win this over for me is Lane's character. What little I know of the BDSM lifestyle from the lots of stories I have read,  I thought the writers have done a fantastic and moving job on this subs's needs and pain even if this is not hardcore BDSM.  Lane does not only have an inherent sub nature, he is also painfully shy, has low self esteem and has been brow beaten by uncaring parents, who have left their innocent son to dry with the collapse of their scam. Yet beneath it there is courage in this young man.The writing is good though a bit repetitive in some parts as these guys struggle with their problems. I enjoy the gradual and convincing built-up in the relationship between Lane  and Derek. I like how Derek handles the fragile Lane. That said I thought Derek's character and  competency as a Dom seems to fit a much younger man. Also I like my Dom to be much more self assured in his own strength. On the other hand, this is at its core a romance so I understand why the writers give Derek a vulnerable side.The secondary characters are a solid bunch. Brin the bratty sub, provide such a lot of delightful moments and I enjoy both subs' interaction. And any gay guys into BDSM  should  have such supporting mother and sister, and who could forget brave Andy. Parts on what happened between Lane and the man his innocent young self hero worshipped are hard to read but riveting.  The last part is well done and got sappy old me all teary eyed in a few pages. I have read the two writers individual work and have to say their collaboration is great.
