I am a huge K.C. Wells fan. I devour her books as soon as I can beg, borrow or steal the money for them. The emotions she brings to her characters and the connections she builds between them are amazing. I am not just talking about the romantic leads in each book, but the friendships developed among the many different characters in a series.Now Parker Williams is a fairly new author but 500 Miles is one of my all time favorite short stories and there have been several other short stories of his that I have thoroughly enjoyed....Then there was Pitch, a young adult novel that he wrote under the name Will Parkinson....I have gone back and read that book twice, so you can safely assume that he is quickly becoming a favorite.I was excited when I learned that K.C. and Parker were going to write a book together that was set in her Collars & Cuffs series. I didn't have one bit of worry that they wouldn't meld their writing together to produce a wonderful book and I wasn't wrong.In some ways this is my favorite book in the series. These two characters need other, there is no other way to put it.Scott has been kept a virtual prisoner by his parents. Belittled and mocked for everything that does not fit what they view as fitting in with their plans they make his life miserable.  They only see his value as an extension of their self absorbed egos and social status. When he sees his opportunity to break free he seizes it and it goes very wrong.Ben is struggling. His sister has left to start a new life with the man she loves and his mother is dying. He doesn't have the resources, emotionally or financially to help Scott. But he can't turn his back on this young boy who is all alone in a strange country. So he goes to his friends and  employers at Collars & Cuffs to find help for him.Scott had a resilience and inner strength that I loved. Yes, he was insecure about what he had to offer but he knew what he wanted in a relationship and he quickly knew he wanted it with Ben. So he sets out to win the Dom of his dreams...And Ben. He was my favorite. He was so determined that he couldn't be the Dom for Scott because he couldn't give him everything he wanted to. Yet from first day he couldn't let anyone else provide for Scott.I found this to be a highly engrossing story of two men finding their way to each other. Both making mistakes because they care about the other so much that they are blind to the truth sometimes. Yet, with a little help from their friends they just might get through to a happy ever after.
