5/11/2023 0 Comments Sleigh Ride by Heidi Cullinan![]() I normally avoid romance stories that involve BDSM, as I found they generally seem very off-the-mark compared to my years of personal experience in "the Scene." This title is different, being the first I've read that doesn't simply throw in a little pseudo-domination, force, non-consent, or pain labelled as BDSM for titillation's sake, but instead presents motivations, desires, and at least some self/partner negotiations that ring true for at least part of the "real-life" BDSM community.Īlso, the "submissive" librarian included preachy (in a very good way for me) strength and patience while the detached, strong "Dominant" character had his own vulnerabilities. The author includes a bit of an exploration of the way gender/masculine roles interplay with the gay, small town experience. Similar to the preceding, first book in this series, this is romantic story with plenty of erotic heat. ![]() (3.5 for the story, 4 for the heat, and 5 for exploring characters in the context of gay bear/geek, brain/brawn, and D/s interplay in a small town) ![]()
