Blurb: Broadway darling Nicky Avery gives commanding performances on stage, but when he comes home at night, it’s Devon Turner who commands him. Devon—that’s “Sir” to Nicky, of course—owns Nicky heart and soul, and neither of them could possibly be happier with that.

This collection of vignettes explores the gifts of submission and domination—Nicky and Devon’s ultimate expression of love and trust. The ten short stories range from sweet and sensual to hot and hardcore, from cross-dressing to knife play, and so much more.

Dom or sub, curious beginner or 24/7 lifestyler, the stories in Sublime will tease and tantalize, arouse and thrill. And don’t mind Devon and Nicky . . . they like to be watched anyway.

(Stories include “All-Nighter,” “Down in the Woodshop,” “Stainless Steel,” “Pretty,” “Milk Run,” “Too Much,” “A Hairy Situation,” “Wrapped Up,” “One for the Road,” and “Pony Up.”)

Note: This second edition is a revised re-release of the same title first published in 2010.

Review: Short snippets of Devon and Nicky’s life and scenes together.

These are all very good snippets, I can’t do individual reviews as they are too short but they are all quite powerful. In some, Nicky pushes Devon to get what he wants.  In others, Nicky shows us just how far he has come with his submission as he waits patiently for his Master.  And he also shows us what he will endure and how far his limits can be pushed just to please his master.

Each story is erotic and as most are from Nicky’s POV.   You get a clear feeling of what is going on inside his head and why he is doing things to annoy, coerce or please his Master. There is one from Devon’s POV, which I think pushes even his limits as he tries to battle for control with Nicky,  in the only way he knows to win; leaving Nicky alone, tied and ignored without risking Nicky’s safety.

I recommend this book for those who love BDSM, pushing the limits, hot erotic scenes, stories that are sweet, hard-edged or dark and a love between a sub and his Master.
