4.5 STARS for Slack by J.A. Huss. Huss rocks the planet with riveting characters, sizzling men, and scorching scenes. The angst is never over the top for me, and somehow reaches deep enough to pull out emotions I fight tooth and nail not to surrender so easily. Ford Aston is one of the most arrogant (yet lovable) characters I've come across. He's brilliant (and knows it). He's rich (and doesn't give a crap). And he's controlling (in bed-yikes). We first meet Ford in the Rook and Ronin series. He falls hard for Rook. Instead of taking advantage of her the way he so effortlessly could, he pushes her away. But it's not such an easy feat. So in the mad quest to cleanse his palette, he continues to have impersonal sexual relationships and carry on with life as usual. But then bring on the holidays and a sort of friend in need. Said friend tasks Ford with a mission that should be cake. A chance encounter from an unlikely person changes everything for him. Slack is a wonderful story that sets up Ford's story, Taut, perfectly (though I read the stories out of order, but I've learned my lesson, honest).
