3.5Well this was a surprise. In every sense. I think I had the idea, going by the cuffs on the cover, that it was BDSM. There is talk about it and Cole has allegedly been in “the lifestyle” but there's very little on page sex, and the D/s is super mild, almost non-existent. If you're looking for BDSM, despite the tittle, this is not that book. I won't be adding it to any BDSM shelf. Not a complaint. Just an explanation. I enjoyed this story and I'm happy to not have read the blurb as, like with movie previews, it revealed too much, but now I don't have to worry about spoilers. snort Cole is a genial & somewhat gangly food writer who has moved cross country for a much needed change. He immediately meets his next door neighbor, Daniel, who isn't living there by coincidence. There's a whole bit of Cole's DNA matching that of a WANTED stone cold killer, but pretty much from the get go Daniel, and the reader know, Cole is not that person, and have a pretty good idea of what's going on. Ultimately this doesn't matter as I don't think the point of the book is any kind of mystery/suspense. It's more of a pretty insta story about two nice guys meeting. That's not a bad thing, particularly because they were both so likable and undramatic. There are no hysterical tantrums, reactions, or tantrums, which is always a breath of fresh air.I'd never read [a:T. Neilson 8507370 T. Neilson https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1442984144p2/8507370.jpg] before but overall I liked their writing style and the sense of humor, particularly Cole's inner monologues. I'd definitely read more from this author.
