It was very interesting to see things from both sides with regards to BDSM and the general public vs. I really liked seeing things from this point of view. With the prosecution trying to push the BDSM is domestic abuse angle, Garrett must find a way to prove otherwise, to the court, as well as to Aayan. Through this, Garrett works on the case which hits close to home (no pun intended!). I loved watching Aayan come to the realization of what it would take and what it meant to bring Garrett’s true submission out, as he did in his photograph. without the SM Garrett believes he also needs. They tread lightly for a while with Aayan thinking he can make Garrett happy in other ways, i.e. He also feels an intense attraction to Aayan but is really not sure if he can be in a non-submissive relationship. He struggles with understanding how anyone (including his brother, Syed) could cause hurt and pain to someone they love, even knowing it was consented to, wanted and even needed in some cases. Even though he knows he has dominant tendencies, he has hidden any of those feelings and is at war with himself over those in relation to his religion and upbringing. Aayan is not a dom though and has never practiced any aspect of BDSM. Aayan is immediately attracted to Garrett and has been ever since he saw the photograph of Garrett in a beautiful submissive pose (which his brother had acquired). It is about Garrett, a submissive who lost his loving husband and dom to cancer a few years prior, left his high-powered job and has basically lived life on the down low.Īayan is a Muslim man who seeks out Garrett to help represent his brother against charges of murdering his submissive partner believing someone with his experience will better be able to plead his case. Review: This was a pleasant surprise! This was not your everyday BDSM story. Can he give up the pain he craves to find the love he needs?Īs Syed’s trial date looms, Aayan and Garrett explore what a BDSM relationship means for them, and what they mean to each other. But for the first time in the three lonely years since Garrett’s husband died, he’s feeling hope, ambition, and desire. Right? And what’s the use in a confirmed sub dating a guy who doesn’t want to be a Dom anyway? The important thing is to get Syed cleared of the discriminatory murder charge he’s facing. Garrett probably shouldn’t be dating his client’s brother. He only wants to take care of him-love him, serve him, cherish him. Aayan would do anything to protect Syed, even if he doesn’t understand how Syed could hurt someone he loves. Blurb: Aayan Denir knows Garrett Hillier was once a high-powered defense attorney, and-thanks to a leaked photograph-he knows Garrett is sexually submissive, which makes him ideally qualified to defend Aayan’s brother from the charge of murdering his sub.
