Kinky Pride by Susan E. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This anthology of kinky Pride stories is a light little read - yes I said it was light, but hot.

Four novellas about men who like to take a little walk on the wild side of kink, and show their Pride doing so.

The book starts off with Whiskey Dreams, a story about a boy(man) with a broken heart running into the man who broke it and his sexy, Dommy best friend and co-owner of the newest, hottest gay bar in Atlanta. It turns out that the break up had been orchestrated by the ex-boyfriend's now very pregnant wife. However, there was a happy ending for our boy, he found out what he really wanted was a sexy Dom to love him and take care of him and he finds it in the best friend.

In Fireballed we meet cute and, yes, twinkie Jeremiah, next door neighbour to the hot fireman called Tennessee. A moment of panic over a pan on fire on the stove brings Jeremiah crashing into Tennessee's life, and the man can't help fall for the loveable Fireball of fun, flirtation and sass. Throw in a Yorkie called Princess, a German Shepard called Buddy, a controlling ex-boyfriend and a pregnant sister and it was a great little story.

Tequila Sunrise is a story about college besties finding out that they were actually much more while dealing with homophobic relatives and unexpected life events.

Skyy's Bailey

Now this story just hit all the right buttons for me. I would give this one a 5 out of 5 for sure. Bailey is a broken man from a broken home. He watched his abusive father murder his mother even as he hid his younger brother and drew his father away when he was less than a decade old. That night he lost his entire family, brother included.

Bounced from foster home to foster home, Bailey grew up with a chip on his shoulder and a lot of rage. He also had a fear he was as much of a monster as his father had been.

Fast forward to the present, a chance encounter and a cage fight gone wrong and Bailey had turned his life around and found a way to leash the beast inside of him though the BDSM lifestyle. And he has his brother his brother back in his life. Evan had been adoped by a music mogel and had followed in his dad's footsteps. He'd also used his considerable wealth to track Bailey down.

Enter Skyy, spoiled teen rock star with true talent who had crashed and burned hard and had been put under his greedy parents conservator-ship. Even had been his manager and was his friend and had managed a three month reprieve for Skyy. The problem is, Skyy has performance anxiety. Which was why he'd used the drugs and alcohol to take off the edge. But he HAD to stay sober or risk being put back under his parents thumb despite now being an adult. Which is where Bailey and his BDSM lifestyle came in.

This story has one of my favorite kinks in it - shibari. And maaan it was a hot one.

It was a nice little anthology of stories - short and sweet, with lots of heat.
