A nice story, with a lovely dynamic, and some good whump.

The only scene I REALLY didn't like was the confrontation with a client, where Dallin was a bit... much for me, and I didn't really understand what was going on. I also found Dallin's brother really annoying, and disliked all his scenes, but I find "annoying younger sibling" subplots annoying in general. Honestly I was hoping for THAT plot to be resolved quicker than it was (not because I wanted to get to more of the d/s, but mostly because I just disliked that plot), but I felt like it got the time it needed to not feel TOO rushed, and the way Dallin ended it was good. It kind of took away from William's story, but so much of the story is about William that... I think overall it's fine. This felt a bit like a PWP in some ways, which is fine, but I wonder if that's why some of the regular plot felt rushed in places? That being said, I don't feel like Zach's plot was intrusive on the story... so much as the kind of plot it was, was something I'm generally not into. Roan Parrish's "Out of Nowhere" does sibling plots (and a lot of them, including younger ones) quite well. I guess part of the difference is Colin wasn't as involved in the annoying younger sibling plot as Dallin is here, although Colin was plenty involved in his brothers' lives and that worked just fine. And Colin's younger siblings weren't as annoying... and the youngest sibling was the previous novel protagonist, who was already an adult and a character I liked, which helped. Zach is a new character who is annoying and he's supposed to be and that doesn't help my enjoyment of his addition to the story.

I did really like the focus on limit setting and respecting boundaries in relationships.

Also had some nice commentary about how cops target and treat the poor and other marginalized groups. And that sometimes not letting toxic family members back into your life is for the best.

In any case, nice little book. Good dynamic. ( )

I liked the story, but I thought both characters needed sit down and talk to one another and do less contract signing. I absolutely hated Dailan's parents, and actually his entire family. Poor Zacha, maybe he'll escape unscathed, but I doubt it. ( )

This was different to other books I've read that share the bdsm theme, but it's written by Lyn Gala so I should have expected that. :)
In some ways Dallin and William remind me of Liam and Ondry. William has similar thought patterns as the Rawnt, and I would say he's probably somewhere on the spectrum. Only this time the setting is contemporary and the culture is wholly human so the experience is very different.
On the whole I really liked the story. Lyn Gala can't disappoint ( )

Loved this, loved the main characters, loved the plot, loved the HEA. Highly recommended ( )
