Hot men? Check. Compelling characters that drew me in from page one? Check. Emotions and needs that match up exactly – yet the happy ending isn’t certain until you get there? Double check. This is one of the hottest, most touching BDSM short stories I have ever read. It’s one of the ‘softer’ ones in terms of BDSM action, since the heat comes from the men themselves, from what they want and need. The tension rises slowly and I totally loved that build which lasts until the final page.

Josh is pretty desperate. He wants to serve, loves being a submissive, but can’t seem to find the right master for him. This, he thinks, makes him worthless, and my heart went out to him. When a new opportunity presents itself, Josh is desperate enough to uproot himself to move all the way to Montana – based on nothing but hope. It also indicates that he finally recognizes that Chicago has nothing to offer him. This sort of honesty, while scary, is exactly what he needs.

Wade has had his own problems. Hiding from his sexuality, he finally frees himself fairly late in life and is now looking for someone to share his life. In a way, he is just as disillusioned as Josh. I loved how considerate he was with Josh when he first arrived, without losing sight of what Josh wanted – a stern, loving master.

If you like stories with emotional depth, enough back story to know where the characters come from and some hot, loving BDSM action, you will probably love this story as much as I did.

This story left me unsatisfied. I felt the story was just beginning when it ended and I was just getting a grasp on the characters. I was really intrigued by the couple and for that reason 2.75 Stars is my rating. Just wish that it wasn't so short. ( )

I have to agree with the other reviewers, this story felt incomplete. Really enjoyable right up until the end, but your just getting a feel for the characters when it ends.

Would of loved to read this as a longer novel. ( )

What enticed me to read this novel is to discover why an apparently accomplished young man wanted to be a perfect submissive.

Josh is young, sweet and with a gentle nature. He is also a published author, successful enough to be able to live in a nice Chicago condo and not having to abide to a 9 to 5 o’clock job. Despite this, Josh is craving, literally craving, for a Master; he has even underwent a formal training, but at today he is still without a contract. Usually at the end of the trial period his prospective Masters don’t formalize the contract and Josh is always more discouraged, until the day his trainer, Nicholas, proposes him to move to Montana for a trial contract with his business partner Wade.

On the other side we learn Wade’s story; from a wealthy family and with a planned life path in front of him, Wade left everything to move to Montana. I think he has not really the core of a true Dominant, he simply wants back the independence he left behind when he decided to agree to his parents’s project life for him. Being a Dominant is for Wade regaining that independence.

Josh and Wade click together since, for me, they are not ordinary sub and Dom. A real dominant would have kicked out Josh that first day, when he started to behave badly; a real sub would have never, ever considered to be so disrespected of his Dom’s house and rules. To me? I don’t care if they are not true sub and Dom, what I like of them is the gentle manners of both, the fact they really need sweetness more than passion; if passion comes along fine, but first of all they need to feel loved and cherished.
