Toby’s comfortable. He has a good job, great friends, and he gets paid to do what he loves—sculpt. His life is great, if a little predictable. And if he secretly wears a plug to Corner Pub every Thursday, well…that’s nobody’s business but his.
But when Toby meets Damon, his predictable little life flies right out the window. Damon shows him the big, wide world of the Dom/sub lifestyle, plugs and piercings, and teaches him that maybe, unpredictable is exactly what Toby needed all along.

Damon loves his bar, the Corner Pub and is very happy with his life. But his curiosity about the sweet little pale skinned, red-haired twink is beginning to burst. Every Thursday night for over three years now the man comes in, sits quietly by himself, drinks two honey wheat brews then heads off – still alone. When Damon finally asks for his story, he discovers Toby is a sculptor at The Spotted Pig and he works there on Thursdays. Toby responds to Damon’s flirting, albeit shyly, and soon Damon can’t help himself, craving to teach the sweet man all he knows.

This is a fast paced novel, full of surprises and raunchy M/M antics. I loved how Toby was sweet and in many ways innocent, but not naïve or campy. Damon was an interesting blend of dominant and understanding. Part of me (especially in the first chapter or so) wanted Damon to move a bit slower with Toby, but I quickly understood what the author was doing and respected him – and Damon – for not shying away or beating around the bush. Damon is a take-charge kind of character and while he pushed forward, full steam ahead, he never was uncaring or overwhelming to Toby, and that made me enjoy and respect both these characters even more.

I love how while the pace was fast, and Damon certainly pushed Toby in all manner of ways, but there was still plenty of room for the romance of their relationship to flourish. The die-hard romantic in me was deeply satisfied with how much time and effort both men spent not only on getting to know each other, but exploring and learning each other inside and out of bed. While I found there is plenty of play and talking of fantasies and experimenting, this isn’t a hard-edged story. I would happily recommend it for readers who love their M/M and even some who are dipping a toe into the water for the first time.

Full of wonderful dialogue, surprising laughs and a sweet, glorious pairing this is an excellent book and strongly romantic. With enough spice and edge to make me blush, but still be sweet and emotional this book hit a lot of perfect notes for me. I’d happily recommend it and look forward to reading it again.
