Loose-Id
Novel: 171pages
4 out of 5

Blurb:
I’m a naturally optimistic type of person, you know? Yeah, I think good things will happen, only they usually don’t. Take Noel: even though he’s educated and rich and he don’t think he’s even gay, I want to belong to him. I want him to take me completely---Dane Connelly

Dane Connelly is a gay janitor and boxer with a soft heart and a simple outlook--he wants to meet the right man, someone who will look past his macho sport and put him in the place of a submissive. He wants to fall in love and belong to his partner.

On the surface, Noel Atherton, an intellectual, shy, and sexually repressed university graduate student with a crippled leg, could not be the dominant lover that Dane longs for. But after their first meeting, when Dane disables the fire alarm in the library and lights a cigarette, Noel is drawn from his shell. Soon, Noel needs to touch Dane, exploring his sexuality for the first time. And both learn that looks can be deceiving.

However, Noel's controlling father is appalled by the relationship and quietly arranges to get Dane out of the way and punish him for daring to love a man so far above his station.


Review:
I enjoyed this book so much that I find myself going every few days to bask in the pure love of the main men.

Dane is a boxer, scarred and considered not very smart because of the way he looks and talks. His appearance says strong and tough but never was there a man more gentle and fragile. He is a just a poor man searching for someone to love and to have someone love him in return. Working as a janitor at a local university he meets the man he is destined to love, but Noel is way out of his league. A rich and smart man he could never grow to love a boxer as scarred and unintelligent as he is.

Noel has no idea whether he is gay or straight, having no sexual experience since an accident left him disabled with a busted leg. Any form of sexual excitement leaves his leg hurting and his ego small. He can't help but being drawn to the beautiful Dane his innocence and his pure heart,but how can one so beautiful be attracted to a cripple?

This story is just so sweet and I love the role reversal, makes for an interesting love scene. There's something sexy when a strong and masculine character becomes submissive to his less masculine partner. This story is about innocence and prejudices that people tend to have for someone who doesn't quite fit the mold. Dane and Noel will have a lot to overcome but the way they love each other is just so sweet. This will show you that not always do you need to be book smart or rich, to come out on top.


This book has a light BDSM theme, a little spanking, dirty talk, and the unexpected daddy play (not creepy at all). I think the uniqueness lies with the switch in power with this couple, very sexy it all was. One of my all time favourite reads!
