Great book! I loved the MCs, but especially Rase. He is quite a bit older than Gabriel, but he is just beginning to realize who he really is and what he really wants out of life. I have read many, many BDSM stories, but I have never read one quite as brutal as this. Rase wants to be hurt...really hurt. And he is left with more than just the hidden marks on his ass, thighs, back, etc. He is hit in the face and has visible bruises to show for it. But, this pain is what gets Rase off, and Gabriel gets off on inflicting the pain. They really are a sweet couple and the sex scenes (some are brutal, but some are not) are hot. I would love to read a follow-up to this story. There is so much more to be developed between Rase and Gabriel, and I would love to read more about the secondary character Allen, Rase's secretary/assistant.
