author KC Wells and Parker Williams – Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words

Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

My favorite book in the Secrets series so far, this one features Heath Snow, a bookshop owner who is fascinated by one a book in which the master takes his boy to task. Single, sweet, kind, Heath figures he’ll spend his life alone with only his books to take to bed. And then late one night, a new customer shows up who will change his life. Xavier is tall, dark, muscular, a force to be reckoned with, and when he spots the book the handsome shop owner is reading, it gives him enough incentive to explore the spark between them.

I love the way the authors presented Heath—he’s strong and smart and willing to compromise. He’s also not afraid to explore his submissive side or to ask questions about the BDSM lifestyle. There’s also a spark in him that caught my attention and endeared him to me early in the story. Xavier was the perfect Dom as he guided Heath’s early steps in the world of D/s. I liked him, though his workaholism was a bit too on point and difficult to accept. As we learn later in the story, his job jeopardizes all things in his life, including his ties to Heath.

The couple gelled so well I couldn’t imagine what could break them up, but when it happened, it made sense, and then a surprising, but believable, solution to the imminent disaster resolved the issue and allowed Xavier to apologize and grovel to win Heath back (as he well should!).

All together it’s a really nice story that hit all my feels and left a smile on my face. Heath is one of those characters who will stick with me (like Peter in Trusting Thomas) for a long time to come. I highly recommend this to lovers of MM romance, especially those who like a little kink in their stories.

The cover by Reese Dante features the two MCs: Heath with his arms around Xavier from behind. Done in dark tones, their poignant pose sets the stage for the delicious story within.

I love KC Wells, and in combo with Parker Williams, this dynamic duo always makes reading a pleasure. The BDSM stories in Collars and Cuffs are among my favorites, and so far, the stories from the new club, Secrets have been great. Add to that the fact that I love ménage, and I was set up to love this one right from the start.

And I did enjoy it tremendously, even though I felt a little icky a few times when the two big Doms were with their boy, a twenty-year-old twink who had been abandoned by his family. They weren’t overbearing and there were no heavy BDSM scenes. In fact, they were very respectful of his needs and aware of his family history where he was beaten by his father and brothers. I just think I would have liked them to be a little younger—a smaller age gap. That being said, their specific ages weren’t mentioned so I assumed their ages based on their successful careers—and on the cover photo.

On the positive side, we had ample opportunity to see characters from previous books in the series—Jarod and Eli, Vic and Ben, Ellis and Wayne, and Jarod’s inimitable mother, Maggie. She’s a hoot and very well-written. Ben and Ellis played a major role in helping Tim acclimate to his new lifestyle, and I came to like them more in this story than I had when I first met them.

Aaron and Sam had suffered from the abandonment by their sub for two years when Aaron bumped into a very ill Tim outside a shop. It was evident to the soft-hearted man that the boy was homeless and suffering, so he opened his home to Tim until he healed. He had permission from Sam, of course, and by the time Tim had gotten healthier, all three were enmeshed emotionally. As Tim learned more about their lifestyle and came to care for the sweet gentle giants, he realized being with them as their sub was something he definitely wanted.

The story explores the Dom-sub relationship dynamic, safe practices, and the ménage dynamic. By the end of the story I was totally invested in the threesome, and I am looking forward to seeing more of them when Secrets introduces us to another couple. The revisits by past characters are always appreciated.

The cover by Reese Dante is a close-up photo of all three men, and after I finished the story I realized it’s intended to be a selfie. Cute concept.
