Okay, I just went a little crazy as I SWEAR I posted a review for SLACK back when it came out. And I cannot find it anywhere. Obviously, I'm going crazy. So here it is!SLACK is A Day in the Life of Ford Aston. You met him in the Rook & Ronin trilogy. He's the guy who runs stadiums with Ronin, the producer of the show, the brains, the one that brings a "pet" to dinner. Well, here is a little flash inside his head...Ford's novella is a sweet treat and inner glimpse to who he is as a character before you dive into Taut, Ford's novel. While this can be read as a stand alone, I think it's more poignant if you read the entire Rook & Ronin series, then this, then Taut, then Bomb, and finish off with Guns. I'll tell you now that Guns won't make any sense to you whatsoever if you don't read the series. Slack & Taut, however, can be enjoyed alone.Ford couldn't care less about people, he just doesn't give a eff about them, he prefers his sex life to be about sex and nothing else, he enjoys the kink, he doesn't want it personal, and yet he is in love with a girl he can't have, his best friend's girl, Rook. There's a sweet, sassy little 12 year old in this novel that helps open up Ford to us as more than just a computer genius with a kinky side. And believe me...after reading this novella you will yearn for two things: TAUT, so you can see Ford get his butt whipped by falling head over heels for a different woman in a love match meant for him and a book all about Sasha. Oh, Sasha.
