This one was a surprising mix of BDSM and humor that really worked well! I'll definitely be reading more by Josephine Miles! 
 Jeff is a Dom fairly new to the BDSM scene in his small town in England. He's got a more experienced neighbor, Niall, who has helped him find others to socialize with, but Jeff's not so good with the ladies. His manners and a really unfortunate bad first try have left none of the female subs in his club interested in spending time with him. He's greatful with Niall steps in to find an experienced submissive willing to give Jeff some lessons on how to be a good Dominate. Niall finds Eddie. 
 Initially, Jeff is really put off by the fact that Eddie is a man. Jeff knows he's straight, straight, straight, so he doesn't want to even consider it. Eddie thinks Jeff is attractive, though, so when time passes and Jeff decided he's willing to learn from Eddie after all, Eddie is still willing to help Jeff learn the ropes. 
 At the beginning of this book, Jeff was a real asshole. Mostly he was an ignorant bigot. He had a lot of irritating prejudiced assumptions about gay people, what makes a man a man, women, and even BDSM. He was also blunt and unintentionally offensive. 
 Eddie was the perfect foil for Jeff. A very thick skin and self esteem enough to not put up with that behavior He also had a way of pointing out Jeff's prejudices and assumptions in a way that made Jeff think. 
 Jeff was open to changing behavior and recognizing his prejudices. That didn't just save the story - it made it great. I really enjoyed watching Jeff's journey. Jeff was still a bit of a doofus, but his willingness to change behaviors when they were pointed out was awesome. 
 Besides the issue of whether Jeff and Eddie can ever have a lasting relationship, there's a lot of sex and BDSM in this book! And it was really good! I absolutely enjoyed the BDSM without the angst that normally comes with this genre. I'll absolutely be reading more Josephine Myles and looking for more of this approach! 
 I also heartily approve of the happy but not too happy ending. It was realistic and satisfying. 
 I totally enjoyed this book! I'd recommend it to readers who like m/m and BDSM, but I'd also recommend it to readers who are curious about m/m and BDSM romance!
