I have read almost all of Kim Dare's books, whether they are short stories, novellas or novels and have enjoyed all of them, but this may be her best one so far.  It is a short novel,  but it is so good, that I will be rereading it whenever I get a little depressed even though I have about 100 books in my Kindle waiting to be read.  All of Ms. Dare's books, include romance and kink as does this but both of her main characters, Noah and Colby are particularly lovable and memorable.  Colby, although the submissive, is really the stronger personality.  Toward the end of the book Noah says that it seems he has fallen in love with the sweetest person on the planet and that really does describe Colby.  Noah at first seems to be a not so lovely a person until you understand his back story and watch him overcome  his harsh state of mind as Colby gets under his skin and changes him into a decent and loving person.  I particularly like Ms. Dare's BDSM scenes, which correctly show that the dom really does what his sub needs and enjoys, even if it includes some pain but does not make it about sadism and masochism.  And those scenes, almost always, and most certainly in this book are sexually oriented and are as hot as can be found in this genre.  Altogether, this book is a joy to read if you are into M/M erotic romance with a kink as I am.  Don't miss it.
