Blurb: Round two with Scott hadn’t been what Tad expected, but it did end up providing a few important realizations. For one, that crazy first encounter was definitely more than mere male hormones. Which meant he felt a true attraction to the guy. Something that explained his defenselessness against Scott’s smoldering charms. Seriously, the dude had cut through his fortifications like the things hadn’t even existed.
Which, yeah, was pretty unsettling.
So Tad had resolved to cope with his findings the only logical way he knew how: purge the guy from his system once and for all by staying away for good. Unfortunately, that proved way more uncomfortable than he’d anticipated. Seemed his “stupid infatuation” ran considerably deeper, which made going cold-turkey one miserable chore.
So when Scott unexpectedly seeks him out, Tad’s too drained to fight his turmoil any longer. Allowing himself a much needed fix, he agrees to hang out, neither he nor Scott knowing Dom boy Max will end up part of the deal. What starts out as an unassuming evening quickly turns shockingly licentious. Question is, will Tad be able to handle it? And more importantly, what path will it send him down in his ongoing journey of discovery?
Warning: this 30k+ story includes strong BDSM elements and explicit gay sex.
Intended for mature audiences only.

Review: I love this series so much and one good thing about waiting to read it you can just keep going and going. In this volume, Ms. Knight, just keeps upping her brilliance and creativity and gives us, the readers, exactly what we need.
Tad was emotionally exhausted after their last encounter because he feels so many things that he can’t put into words. Staying away seems like the answer but it was the hardest thing he has ever done. Wearing himself out with exhaustion doesn’t damper his feelings and thoughts at all. He realized that more than ever when Scott finally takes the leap and comes looking for him.
Scott was definitely more exposed with his feelings in this installment. He opens up more to Tad with how he feels and they come to a mutual understanding that neither will allow time to separate them. As they are getting ready to spend time together and have some fun, Max, Scott’s roommate asks for a favor. He has a sub coming over for a scene and wants Tad and Scott to watch from the hidden room. Tad is little nervous not knowing what to expect but accepts just the same.
Max is someone I’m not too sure about yet. He definitely has his own story to tell and I have a feeling it’s going to be just as addicting as Tad and Scott. As Max gets busy with Sean, his sub, he really puts his Dominant hat on and yowser…it is a very hot session with many kinky elements. I was feeling the heat and so was Tad and Scott as they watch behind the mirror.
Max’s scene really set the scene for allowing Scott share more of himself. He is attracted to Tad more than just the physical yet he understands that Tad is going to need time to come to terms with what he is feeling. Scott has many facets that make him who he is and we are just starting to see more and more of them. He is very confident and secure in who he is as a human being. As conflicts ensue between them and Max after his session Scott is not going to allow Max to bring him down or interfere with the progress he is making with Tad.
Kora Knight excels in her ability to write sex scenes that are a living and breathing entity. Because they continue to talk, touch, and feel during their encounters, their emotions and thoughts are exposed for us to see. I love Scott and how he never hesitates to show Tad what he is feeling and thinking.
Each installment gets better and better and there is no doubt that this series is one I could read over and over. I have enjoyed reading each one so much and can’t wait to start on the next. Prized Possession is up next and, wow, doesn’t that just get your heart beating faster with anticipation of what’s to come.
