About this listen
“He could have everything here, and the price is so small. Why would he want to go back out into that cold, unforgiving world?”
It’s simple, really. Zay has a roof over his head, food in his stomach, no bills or jobs to worry about, and he gets to lie around all day. It should be the perfect life for him, and it would be...if it wasn’t for the fact that he has to play the role of a two-legged “puppy” for his captor and his captor’s little. Zay’s unwillingness to accept his new life breeds doubt and discontent in Cammy, who’s longed for an end to his loneliness. Even though they should be bonding, the distance between them seems larger than ever. Cammy wants Zay to see how fortunate he is, but will it be Cammy who has his own revelations instead?

Story
Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

Story
Being with Carter has given Micah freedom and care he never experienced before. He’s blossomed, feeling finally like himself, be it in lace, makeup, or onesies. His daddy is with him every step of the way, making sure he feels loved. Together, they explore even more in the world of age play. Carter never thought he’d find another boy to care for, but then he met Micah. It’s time to embrace his future with his partner, care for him, and pamper him because that’s what a daddy does. And if it involves making more permanent commitments? Maybe it’s time to take the leap.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

Blessed by the gods and goddesses, edoli have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. While some hold such abilities as shape-shifting and controlling the elements, the rarest are the kings and queens who can bond through blood with keepers and amplify their power...and their own. Titos has been seen as useless and weak his entire life. He's never been able to bond with another edoli and has nothing of value to offer his queen. When a stranger saves him from certain death, Titos's life will never be the same.

1 I hate to love
The author has a profound understanding of sex traffickers and the mind games played to keep the victims subdued.
Like many true victims of abductions, the Stockholm syndrome the two "boys" go through is so disturbing yet I couldn't help feeling for them due to the helpless they felt under the hand of their "Master".
I found myself hoping that Ray would get his vengeance on his "Master", but like so many victims, the shame of what he has went through and the threats keeps him in check. The "Masters" warped view of saving Ray is so disturbing and infuriating since if their were no buyers of people there would be no traffickers.
This story is very well written and the narrator is superb, but read at your own risk.

Perfect Conclusion to Dark Story
I loved this series when I read it and I enjoyed it even more as an audiobook. This story is a sequel to Gilded Cages and cannot be read/listened as a standalone. It is a beautifully written very dark story of how people can adapt to any circumstances they are forced into as well as find love even in captivity with little hope for escape. I loved every character, each is interesting and captivating in their own way, and I enjoyed following their relationship dynamic change and develop throughout the story. Narrator did a good job with voices for every character, I wanted to hear more passion, but it did not lessen my listening experience at all. Highly recommend this series to listeners who like well written dark romance with complex characters and captivating character development.
