Okay... I have taken some time to think about this review, ponder about it and sniff around the next story. Its only left me with more questions than answers and hell... a bit of drool on the side! It all comes down to the simple statement...love will find a way. I don't need to retell the story,...
So I liked it but I found it incredibly short so I didn't understand why they agreed to stay together. It was just way to easy and there was very little conflict so at time - even though it's short - it didn't keep my interest. And I might have skipped over the last sex scene cause I just wanted ...
An unusual angle on D/s, but otherwise nothing really out of the ordinaryWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 6/10PROS: - I’ve become so used to reading werewolf stories in which wolves have only one possible mate--someone they recognize instantly by sigh...
I almost didn't read this after reading the first book of the series and finding that it fell a bit flat for me. Because of that I was reluctant to read this even though I already loved Kefir from book 1 and decided to skip book 2 altogether. I was worried that in so doing I would miss some key p...
First off, if you haven't read the first book DUCK! you really should before reading this one. Magpie would make so much more sense if you did. With that, I really was pleased with this book. I like it almost as much as DUCK!. I was happy to see Everet got his own story. I really like how Eve...
Kim Dare is a great erotic romance author, especially if you like male on male, and even more so if you like a bit of BDSM thrown in to the mix. What is special about Dare’s work is that she’s very flexible in her writing, some of her stories involve leather clubs and full on whipping, while oth...
No one understand Marrick. That was my first thought throughout the book, no one understands what he needs and what he craves. Being thrown to the lions was an adrenaline rush, he didn’t expect to fall in love and when he did Luther and Blaine didn’t understand him. Some parts of this book I thou...
I liked this little trifle but - and I'll say this for every book in the series - they're all too short, Dare gives us some intriguing characters, with interesting back stories and realistic conflict, throws them together in a kinkerrific sex scene and then, bam!, the story is over. I always f...
I enjoyed certain aspects of this book, like how Flynn seemed to have real concern for Matt and wanted to make sure he was okay and knew how wonderful and cared for he was and how he deserved better than he had been getting, but certain aspects of the book just didn't sit well with me.If you unde...
Oh, too short! You know my favourite words in a BDSM story? "Good boy". It's something about the acceptance, acknowledgement and praise for sweet submission given. I love dark fics too, but stories like this really tug on my heartstrings. I mean, it's sugarkink: there's just spanking, restraint, ...
A satisfying end to the series, but some of the writing was a bit jumpy for meWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 6/10PROS: - I’ve seen Alfred in the earlier books, and because he’s always viewed through other characters’ eyes, he always seemed to me lik...
3.5 starsKinky and hot. As in other stories by Kim Dare, the interaction between the two MCs is great. George, the experienced Dom is attracted to Eric, the submissive dancing on the tables at the club. When he realizes Eric is absolutely clueless, he hesitates to take on this challenge, but a...
*Book source ~ Many thanks to NetGalley and Riptide for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review.Marcus Tremayne is a Dom who frequents the local BDSM club Spread Eagle. When twenty-year-old hot and sexy Bret Daniels spies Marcus minutes after entering the club he decides Marcus i...
Why does this book have to have such a ridiculous name? Surprisingly, this turned out to be a really sweet little story. It follows Willis, an abused and mistreated sub who needs to learn what it it is to be in a true D/s relationship, and Conrad, a kind police Sergent who wants to take care of...
I wanted to like this last book in the series but I ended up liking it the least of the four books. Cameron (or Caramel) is lion who lost his way and is now a pole dancer/stripper. I found the premise about why he left his parent's pride not very well explained. It sounded like he was a big br...
wow! so different from the first two in the series. kinda hard for me to take this in because i'm not and have never been a "switcher". not only that, trying to envision the mc and what i was used to seeing from him, makes it hard to see him being able to ever take the dom role on again. just...
different characters - great change over! You can't help but love & hate them. Trent, the young cutie, and Kieran, the smart-ass - oops, can i say that?!? but Kieran is something that every one of us subs can't deny wanting so bad! his cockiness, his attitude and his ability to read a sub is s...
This story is a wonderful example of a reluctant sub coming to realize there is a benefit in trusting a Dom, despite all his previous bad experiences, and despite his own reluctance of giving anyone power over his actions or choices. It also shows how patience (an enormous amount of it) can, and ...
I really enjoyed Harland and his dominating personality and love of spreader bars.I thought it was a bit strange how the Rawlings family knew that he was flirting because of the comment about the twisted sense of humor. I didn't really see him express much of a sense of humor at all.The past bad ...
Ballgags! Don't you wish you had a ballgag for that person that never shuts up? In this one, it's pretty cute. It's between Andrew and his flatmate, Ben the teacher. Ben doth protest too much. Andrew is there to show him the errors of his ways. When Ben goes against Andrew's wishes to atten...
3.5 starsGay Until Graduation is a thoroughly enjoyable D/s novella (15k words?) about two college students who come together for a full-time master/sub relationship for the six months prior to their college graduation. The story is fast moving, highly erotic and deliciously kinky. The writing i...
4.5 Rating Handcuffs and Pretty Things is the first book I’ve read by Kim Dare. Though I haven’t read any of the other books in the series it didn’t hinder me from enjoying this short, but tightly drawn novella. I loved Dane’s easy banter and flirtation upon meeting Sully. I also liked ...
The same sweet master/sub relationship apparent in most of Kim Dare's novels continues in this short, making it well worth the read for that alone. The give-and-take, the trade off between one man and another is well done, and I can't express how well she brings the reader right into the middle o...
I enjoyed this book. Kim Dare describes her books as BDSM novels and short stories, but mainly, there is D/s, a little bondage and a lot of sex, but not enough SM for my taste.Sloan is the kind of dom I love. He does what he wants the way he loves it, that's it, that's all. This is not because he...
This is typical Kim Dare...'perfect' Doms & 'natural' submissives...no blemishes, awkward bodily functions & the angst is sorted with a passionate kiss. I must warn you tho', Kim Dare is one of my favourite authors & she would have to write something pretty heinous for me not to like it...if you'...
As per new FTC rules, I now have to disclose the entire reason I’m reviewing this book. Short answer, I love Kim Dare books. I bought it with my own money and yes, I do follow her on twitter although I never actually talk to her so I assume we can safely call it stalking from afar. She has partic...
This story is well written, funny, and interesting. However, I had issues with it because of trouble believing in this type of hardwired masochism. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sadomasochist, and know many masochists of varied types. But I have never come across or heard of someone who is aroused by...
This was a cute story, but I didn't connect with the characters like I usually do with Ms. Dare's books. There wasn't much background on either of them and I didn't understand their motivations. Plus, this involved acts of submission that just made me uncomfortable instead of intrigued.It's a f...
Ah...a tiny little sip--a moment in time...a fleeting glimpse. And hot sex...all without one word---just lovely descriptive passages. Not One Word by Kim Dare is a tiny snapshot of a what appears to be a chance encounter between Ben and Luke. At first I was taken aback by the thought that Ms D...
This sizzling little short once again proves that Kim Dare writes a nice BDSM story. Admittedly the bdsm element in this particular tale, Better Than Sex is a bit tame but still the sex scenes pack a bit of heat and are delightful to read.Unfortunately it was the in-between that fell a bit flat ...
