The story is about Paul who is video recorded servicing his best friend Mark in the woods. His neighbor Mr. Timmins has recorded the whole incident so he can blackmail the guy and turn him into his own slave. Paul out of fear decides to submit to the man and his lustful desires. There is no escape from the situation. Eventually, Paul finds himself indulged and enjoying the sub role he has been given. The story is narrated from Paul’s perspective.
This is the first time I read something written by Shaun Bond. I liked the story a lot. It has themes of different varieties but the main highlight is the domination and submission between the neighbor and Paul. The bond between the two at first starts as blackmail, and it is non-consensual, but then Paul finds himself thrilled with the experience and enjoying the whole thing. There are many name-callings there, and I think that perfectly suited the situation and the kind of relationship between the two main characters. The ending of the story was ideal and it showed that Paul is changed forever. The one favor he was doing his friend Mark has changed his life for good. It seems that he will not only be the sub of Mr. Timmins but also other men. Yes, Master was a hot entertaining read for me. Read it if you are OK with the themes and ready for some thrilling times.
The story is about twenty-eight-year-old William who has the hots for his straight cousin Michael. Weeks after a family gathering in Christmas, William still cannot take Michael out of his mind. During that time William meets his old friend Ryan. The two together have hooked up a lot with other guys so when William tells his friend about his desires for his cousin, Ryan suggests they do something about it! Something daring! This is a short MMM gay sex story and told from William”s perspective.
I picked up this book based on the cover expecting it to be an erotic Christmas romantic story but it turned out as something different. The cover is beautiful with two gay men kissing, but it does not reflect the story at all which is basically a MMM sex story that is about a rape/dubious consent act first then the victim just gets into the act showing his consent. The first thing I have to mention the problems with the writing. At certain parts, the book felt as if it was translated from a different language because there were some sentences that did not make sense to me. “At the time, we often went out together and decorated the most delicious boys. Wonderful nights gave us that at the time. Ryan asked me if I had ever decorated something nice lately, but I had to answer in the negative.” I guess the word decorated here means hooked up or fucked but obviously the translation did not help. Then there is the mix up between cousin and nephew. At the beginning of the book, William mentions Michael as his cousin but during the sex scene, he mentioned him twice as his nephew. Being his cousin makes more sense though as Michael is older than William. I know that things like these can confuse the readers when they review or rate a book. If the sex scene was not hot enough, I would have rated this book like three stars instead of four, but fortunately, the sex scene which is basically about 80% of the story saved it for me. It was arousing and quite delicious which made me disregard the other problems with the book.
Publication Date: August 15, 2018 Publisher: Bay Cove Press Series: Bathhouse Confessions Book 2
Trevor is a gay college student with a fantasy to fulfill. This fantasy has been in his mind since he watched a porn video where a man takes twenty loads! Since then, this has been all that Trevor wanted. And where is better than a bathhouse to fulfill such a fantasy? The difference is that Trevor will have his wrists tied behind his back, his eyes covered with a blindfold and his ears plugged with earbuds playing some loud electronic dance music. This will cause a complete deprivation of such senses and just relying on his touch, smell, and taste senses. The story consists of five chapters and it is narrated from Trevor’s point of view.
Trevor’s friend Caleb helps him with this plan by becoming his bouncer. He always promised him that he would help him if he decided to go ahead with it. I felt the protagonist was desperate to have these strangers fucking him and playing all they wanted with him. “They could reduce me to nothing more than a human fucktoy; use me and abuse me all they wanted. I would just sit back and take it, loving the attention, coated in their semen.” The story starts right in the action but the main character narrates all how he and his friend have become regular visitors to the bathhouse.
The first man who approaches Trevor is not just a surprise to the protagonist but to me as a reader too. I did not see that coming right in the beginning and this is something to appreciate and compliment the author for keeping things edgy and different. But it was the second man in a jockstrap that reminded Trevor of the purpose of doing all this. And that is to be a fucktoy who nobody cares how he feels! This beast (as Trevor called him) was very hot. He even made the tied guy lick both his armpits! And after him, more men start using him, usually in pairs while his friend watching to make sure everything is under control.
After the first time, Trevor does not make it any close to twenty loads which is his target so he will be back again, and this time in the dungeon room. He will be on a sling and will have more horny men using him this time. I loved the Tom of Finland reference to one of the men! When the two friends do the same thing for the third time, Trevor finally finds out that Caleb has played more than just the bouncer role. And with this revelation, a new beginning will start for both of them!
Nathan Bay’s approach to inhibit some of the senses in this story is really fascinating, especially because as a reader it puts me in the main character’s shoe as he is narrating the story and explains how it feels. Like all the previous stories in the series, the bathhouse acts as the medium to take the character from a point to another in his life. It acts like a changing point that alters the life of the character. The sex scenes are delicious and very steamy. The author’s style in writing those sexy scenes and at the same time using a variety of actions and men is something one has to praise. Group sex can usually get repetitive when it is on paper but not once I felt any kind of repetition in this book. Like the other books in the series, this one too has a happy romantic ending. I feel the ending will satisfy many readers especially those who like feel-good stories.
