4.5 star review from The Blogger Girls.This story was a little bit different than I was expecting after reading the first, Becoming His Slave, but I was not disappointed in the least. While there were appearances from the other characters in the previous book, and some even played important roles, this story takes place almost completely outside the club.Cliff is a young man who has had a pretty difficult time taking on a lot of grown up responsibilities. He was basically forced to take charge when his parents left him and his ailing younger sister, Kimmie, high and dry. He not only had to take care of them, but had to deal with all of her medical issues and treatment caused by her cancer. To this end, he has also made it a point to show people (namely people at the club) that he is a strong dominant with goals of becoming the next Dominus (or head Dom).Pyotr, on the other hand, is an older guy, who was forced to take the role of both parents to his 10 siblings when they fled Serbia without their parents. He is very calm and confident, knows himself and what he wants/needs and realizes pretty quickly that Cliff, despite his age, is a good match for him. Their relationship begins when Cliff was referred by Diesel to Pyotr for help. It takes them a few sessions to realize what kind of help Cliff needs. With each visit, Cliff begins to warm up to Pyotr as he comes to terms with what Pyotr is offering. Pyotr reinforces the need for Cliff to take everything slowly, to savor and enjoy and see more than just the end result.I loved these guys together. Pyotr takes his time waiting for Cliff to give in to his submissive side, as opposed to forcing it to happen. While there are some BDSM elements/scenes here and there, this is mostly about the D/S and giving up control. Cliff is on the edge of having a major breakdown when Kimmie’s cancer returns in full force, and it takes some convincing for him to realize Pyotr will be there for him when no one else has been up to this point.I have to say that I loved Kimmie’s character, and it definitely broke my heart to see what she was going through. Definitely have your tissues handy the last quarter of this book where she is concerned.I also loved seeing the other characters and meeting Pyotr’s siblings. There are so many I have questions about, and I still long for more of Diesel’s story. I enjoyed this every bit as much as the first book, though for different reasons. It is a very well-developed story with characters I really cared about. The sex scenes were passionate and well done, and everything surrounding Kimmi was beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. I did have a few questions about how Cliff managed after his parents’ departure, and how he found himself at the club and into the helpful hands of Diesel, who seemed to have taken him under his wing and became Kimmie’s guardian angel. This series is getting better and better, and I’m definitely ready to read the next installment.
