About this listen
Laurence Dalziel is worn down and washed up, and for him, the BDSM scene is all played out. Six years on from his last relationship, he's pushing 40 and tired of going through the motions of submission. Then he meets Toby Finch. Nineteen years old. Fearless, fierce, and vulnerable. Everything Laurie can't remember being.
Toby doesn't know who he wants to be or what he wants to do. But he knows, with all the certainty of youth, that he wants Laurie. He wants him on his knees. He wants to make him hurt, he wants to make him beg, he wants to make him fall in love. The problem is, while Laurie will surrender his body, he won't surrender his heart. Because Toby is too young, too intense, too easy to hurt. And what they have - no matter how right it feels - can't last. It can't mean anything. It can't be real.

A mind bogglingly good read. Hot kink and characters that make you laugh and cry with their real-ness.

Such a beautiful book - narrated perfectly
I loved this book - the smooth older sub and the young inexperienced Dom who just belong together. This story was funny and sad, moving and beautiful and the narration made it even more beautiful with the steamy scenes so gorgeous that you want to be there.

Alexis Hall is brilliant
I was a little dubious about this book as the blurb kind of describes a common theme, but Alexis Hall is one very talented writer and I quickly found myself utterly engrossed. I find his similes original and vividly descriptive (e.g. ‘folded like a lawn chair’), but it’s his choice of characters to portray that really captures my attention. In this book we have perfectly capable people who manage to get through every day life without a problem, yet once their hands turn idle their thoughts devour them in a relentless surge. Although thoughts of self loathing are not as dominant in this book as they were in Glitterland, they none the less strike a familiar chord within me and I appreciate that immensely.
Stories of BDS&M have become quite common since 50 Shades, for better or worse, but this one really is different and Alexis is able to show that as much as say it. I really am in awe of his style of writing as much as his choice of themes and pure talent. I hope that one day his works are recognised worldwide and he gets the acclaim he truly deserves.
Narrators: I found the narrators to be mediocre only when it came to distinguishing between various characters. I occasionally had to rewind and listen again to try and work out who had said what, but otherwise elocution and delivery were wonderful. I feel they captured the personality of their respective characters perfectly.
