Silken

clapsI won't front. I didn't/don't know [a:Isobel Starling 13506480 Isobel Starling https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1469359923p2/13506480.jpg] at all and my eyes usually just gloss over blurbs. What led me to this was [a:Gomez Pugh 8435087 Gomez Pugh https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] as a narrator. I've been hooked on him from the very first PsyCop book, and he didn't disappoint here. Also that cover is like candy, or for my palette, sour apples. Yums However Isobel Starling did deliver a delicious amuse-bouche of a story, sexy & hot and packed with much more story than you'd expect given the length of the book. Matthew is a dancer who's had to give up on his career due to injury. To fill time and explore his sexual desires he has a Tumblr blog under the moniker of Silken. As Silken he's entered into a D/s relationship with an on-line Dom he only knows as Austin. In his civilian life he's earning a living working for a high end real estate company in London supervising the pied-à-terres of the well-to-do. One day, while at work, Matthew decides to mix business with pleasure, meaning that when he goes to check on an apartment he also fulfills an “assignment” from his Dom. I won't give anything away, which will be obvious pretty quickly to any reader, but I'll say some things align pretty miraculously. I wasn't mad. Aside from the kink (some orgasm denial, a spreader, and a riding crop) the story features age-difference, silk stockings, heels, manties, and a steamer trunk plucked out every kinksters fantasies. It wasn't a rough ride kind of story, in fact it's pretty tasteful and that's okay. It had an almost Cinderella quality that I found endearing and had me smiling for the couple of hours that the audio runs. I'd definitely read any follow up story involving Matthew/Silken and Austin.My only niggle, without giving much away, is that I'm not super clear on how Austin became such a well versed Dom in a rather short period of time.
