Publisher's summary

Wren has contemplated the fine line between pleasure and pain for years, but when he finally gets up the nerve to make his fantasies reality, things go terribly wrong. His father’s best friend Leo comes to his rescue, and Wren knows instantly that Leo is the perfect person to introduce him to the world he longs to explore.

Leo has never met Wren before, and once he realizes who Wren is, he vows not to touch him again. Leo knows Wren’s father won’t approve of their relationship, especially considering the edgy play Leo enjoys.

Leo values that friendship too much to risk it, but walking away from Wren isn’t easy. There’s a lot more between Wren and Leo than lust. They’re pulled toward one another despite the trouble their relationship could cause. Ultimately, they give into their desire and begin seeing each other in secret.

The more they explore, the more obvious it becomes that Wren can take everything Leo wants to give, no matter how kinky or intense. They are a perfect fit in bed and out. Neither of them wants to keep hiding their relationship, but they both worry that once Wren’s father knows about them, staying together will be too difficult.

In order to make things work, they’ll both have to believe in the power of love.

Perfect

I love the way these two men have to accept what they are to each other no matter how hard it is. They are perfect for each other. I was glad to see them able to work through the issues.
I listened to the audio version and it was really well done.

loved it

I think i have to say this is my new favorite in the series. If I had to say anything I wished more for in this book was that I wish it was longer and went into more detail about some of the points that seemed glazed over in the book. Really that could just be my brain wanting more of these two guys.there was a great storyline, characters were wonderful and I felt like I connected with them which is always great. Greg did a great job on the voices on this one and made you feel like you were there in the story.

Hell. Yes.

Loved it. The relationship was beautiful. The sex was really hot. Greg B is amazing as always. I may adopt his voice for my inner monologues.

Hot and very intense

The characters here draw you in immediately. Wren, who has wanted to explore pain play for years, Leo an experienced Dom who has had years of experience initiating subs into pain play and Wren's father's best friend. Leo helped Wren's father, Graham, explore his own needs when he and Wren's mother divorced. Wren tries a scene with someone he met online and it goes dangerously wrong so Graham's partner Avery asks Leo to come meet with Wren to help him recover. There is instant attraction. Leo has not seen Wren since he was a young child so Wren gives him a false name and pushes Leo into a Dom/sub relationship where he knows who Leo is and Leo does not know him. The expected blow ups happen as all these secrets are revealed, a quartet of relationships nearly founder on the deceptions but the writing makes it clear that what Wren and Leo have is 100% consensual, real and forever. People behave realistically in terms of the hurt and pain but they are all decent, loving and adult and the book ends on a happily ever after note. The description of the scenes is very explicit and includes pain play including clips, needles, piercings, etc. It is not gratuitous but deserves thought before you jump in. Greg Boudreaux is as always amazing in his performance. Each character is distinct, the parts where friends/lovers are separated will break your heart and you will totally believe the pain scenes' mix of pain and pleasure. His narration is so good you will see everything just like a movie.

Finding What They Want

When Wren wants to explore his inner desires, he doesn't have a successful go at it.
With a little help of a close one, Leo enters his life.
The spark and attraction between them is evident and this leads over to their eventual play as well.

What they get from each other is a fulfillment of their wants, desires and needs.
But, their relationship is not supposed to be and in order for them to claim their love, they will have to face the consequences.

This was a tale full of scorching kinky scenes, well added family drama and fantastic supporting characters from the previous books of the series.

The narration was done well. Each character was discernible and the narrator drew you in with his voice.

Awesome

I love this series and hearing it on Audio is perfection. Greg Boudreaux is brilliant bringing these characters personalities to life. Wren and Leo are finally here with a complex relationship wrapped up in sexy chemistry. Everything flows between each chapter great and I can't wait for the next.

WOW!!

I have been waiting for this story and I can honestly say that I was not prepared for just how scorchingly hot, incredibly sweet, and wonderfully passionate Leo and Wren are in this story. Their attraction and chemistry are undeniable and could not be ignored no matter the age difference nor who is Wren's father. Leo is an incredible Dom who lovingly guides Wren on his journey of discovering just what he needs and wants. They are an incredible couple and I absolutely loved watching them grow closer and seeing their relationship develop. I think they are my favorite couple so far and I would love to see more of them.
The narrator was spectacular. He really captured the essence of the characters and totally pulled me right into the story. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

Loved reading it more then listening to it...

When I read this series, I loved each book. I loved this one too, Wren and Leo's love story was so good, with all the pain and aftercare, with passion and love, just perfect. So I didn't think it twice to listen to the audio, because I thought it would be awesome too. Not so much. I can tell from the first few seconds if I'll love the narrator or not. This time it was the 'not' category.

I don't know why, maybe the two voice was so much alike, maybe it didn't fit to the voices in my head, I don't know, but I couldn't love it. I listened to it, because I was curious to see Wren and Leo again.

Wren and Leo's story was so good! I loved how Wren explored everything with Leo and how responsive he was. So cute and hot! And the kink OMG i loooooved it! BDSM is my weakness and well written BDSM is the best thing on earth lol. I love it sweet and love it rough, i love the pain and the aftercare, and everything was just perfect.

And when Graham found out this thing between his son and his best friend OMG...but Silvia did it good and wrote an amazing book again.

So the story itself was good, but the audio not so much for me.
