Claire Thompson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 14, 2009

When Ethan and Cam met the year before at an underground BDSM club, their connection was intense and immediate. There's just one small problem-they're both subs. To work around this, they agree to find their own Doms for play, offering their submission and their bodies to would-be Masters, but leaving their hearts at home. The setup works fine, until the day Ethan meets a hot Dom named Maestro. For the first time, Ethan finds himself keeping secrets from his lover. And Maestro has secrets of his own. Unrequited passion and sizzling hot D/s lead to the three agreeing to a play scene that ends up ensnaring them all in something more powerful than any of them had dreamed of. Can two subs submit to a man who would claim not only their bodies, but their hearts and minds? Or will the intensity of a D/s ménage break their world apart?

5.0 out of 5 stars Original Erotic Romance with Medium/Hard BDSM, August 13, 2009

I found after reading books like Deviations: Submission and The Complete Dr. Fell Volume I: Lost that I really enjoy a gay romance with BDSM. However, these can vary greatly in terms of how real the BDSM is. Many romances throw in some spanking and bondage to spice up the mostly vanilla sex (which is fine), but they aren't BDSM. This novel is, though it is not real hard core. There are whips, restraints, clamps, orgasm denial, etc. There are scenes that could make a reader uncomfortable.

I'm not usually a fan of threesomes, but the occasional story does stand out. This is one of them, mainly because of the unusual scenario. Ethan and Cam are committed lovers, but they have a problem because both are submissives; unable to top one another. Until now, they have been going to clubs to meet this need, but with rules for no sex or intimacy. The problem is, submission in itself can be very intimate with the right Dom. When Ethan meets a real Dom, he feels guilty like he's cheating on Cam. Ethan realizes that no matter how much he loves Cam, he has needs that aren't being met. But, these two are in love and they talk about it and decide that Cam needs to meet Andrew. Their lives are changed by the encounter as Cam realizes his needs are also not being met. I have to admit that when Andrew entered the relationship, the story got a little uncomfortable. First, Andrew is love with Ethan. Ethan and Cam go to Andrew (at first) simply to be topped. But, he wants more than that; he wants a relationship, with both of them. And, they are struggling with the concern that their attraction to Andrew could break them up.

Ironically, there is not as much intercourse in this book as in most erotic gay romances. There is sex between Cam and Ethan at the beginning, but it's the dominance scenes that are highly erotic. Cam and Ethan are different in their submissive natures, and seeing how Andrew handles each is quite good. Overall, I thought this was an excellent BDSM romance. It is a little weaker than the Deviations series, mainly because it didn't address the everyday details, nitty gritty (like contracts) that those books did. However, the ending leaves room for a sequel wherein the author could go more in depth. I really hope there will be one as I would love to spend more time with Ethan, Cam and Andrew now that they have committed themselves. As it is, I have already started Thompson's other BDSM romance, Switch. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things are better in 3's, August 1, 2009

Once again Claire Thompson tests the bounds of my comfort zone and comes out the winner. Of course this was m/m/m so of course I was going to read it no doubt about it, and all I can say is wow, extremely hot and in my opinion sweet, but not for the faint of heart. This isn't by any stretch of the imagination Light BDSM, but not what I'd call hard core either. It will definitely test the bounds of your acceptance. But still when it comes down to the end this is a romance and a very good one at that!!

If your up for the challenge I very much recommend this book you can't go wrong with Claire Thompson especially when she is in the zone and she was definitely in the zone!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Sub x2, July 24, 2009

I loved this book. Ethan and Cam show a true love for each other and I love they way they COMMUNICATE! They talk to each other about their feelings and what is going on in their lives. Of course, they have to with the type of open relationship they have. Or should say, they need. When I read Subx2 I could feel the love of this couple. The struggle Ethan has about telling Cam shows and I'm glad he spoke to Cam.

Enter Andrew. What a great third character and he really adds to the dynamic of Cam and Ethan. They need him. I think if Andrew didn't enter when he did that Ethan and Cam might not have lasted. Not with what they both needed. They didn't need a play-part time Dom. They need someone who can care for them. I think the club scene would have become old.

Claire does a wonderful job with this story and reading Subx2 reminds me why I love Claire's writing. If you love Claire like I do you NEED to pick this book up because it TOTALLY ROCKS!
