When Rob and Vic first meet it does not go well but Vic has a soft heart and when he sees Rob struggling in the rain, he offers him a ride. That one act of kindness turns Rob’s world upside down and he clings to the only nice thing anyone has ever done for him. It continues to bring Rob back into Vic’s life without invitation, but Vic sees something in Rob and sets his mind to helping the young man. Help may be the first and foremost thing on Vic’s mind but when Rob shows signs of wanting more Vic cannot deny the feelings that are starting to grow within his heart for the troubled young man.  As the two start a tentative friendship they work hard to heal Rob and soon find that they both want more. Can Rob truly accept who he is and let the past go or will he forever live with his guilt and pain?

Vic and Rob’s story is a wonderful tale. Rob may be mixed up and hurting but underneath it all he is a good man. Rob just needs someone to help him understand and get through his pain and anger. Vic may just be the man to help Rob if only Rob would let him in. The two have great chemistry together and when Rob lets go, he can see and feel the love that Vic has for him, the problem is getting Rob to let go. It was nice to see Rob start to grow and heal with the help of Vic. The two are good together and the love that they have for one another shines through in all that they do. As hot as they are in the bedroom Vic and Rob connect on many other levels and it was nice to see their relationship blossom into something strong and lasting.

This story is a wonderful continuation of the SECRETS series which is a spin off of the COLLARS AND CUFFS series. I love seeing the way Jarod and Eli have made this club their own. Narrator Joel Leslie does a great job of bringing this book to life. I was quickly pulled into Rob’s story and I lost myself in a world full of emotions.

This is an objective review and not and endorsement of this book.

Wayne cannot stand by and watch his partner and best friend throw his life away. Something is wrong, and it is affecting Ellis and his job. When Ellis finally puts them in danger one too many times Wayne takes action but will his attraction to Ellis bring everything crashing down? Little does Wayne know that Ellis harbors his own secrets along with his demons. Will Ellis ever trust Wayne enough to let him in? Only when Wayne knows the whole truth will he be able to help Ellis. Can their friendship endure and become stronger or will Ellis let his demons win? So many questions and so many risks but Wayne must take those risks if he wants to help Ellis.

Ellis and Wayne’s story is full of emotions and depth. Wayne has never hidden the fact that he was gay, what he hid was his feelings for Ellis. When Wayne decides to help Ellis, secrets are revealed and both men must make some hard choices. Their story is a wonderful beginning to this spin off series from Collars and Cuffs. Ellis and Wayne are great friends and make a good couple. I enjoyed their journey to finding something deeper for the two. Their story is intense, and emotions run high throughout the book. Love is strong, but trust is hard earned. These two men go through so much and through it all they never stop loving one another. It was nice to see Wayne and Ellis fight so hard to find their happy ever after.

I also loved seeing Eli and Jarod and catching up on some of the characters from the previous series. It was nice to see Jarod and Eli find their own feet as well. Narrator Joel Leslie breathes life into these characters and had me quickly lost in their adventure.

This box set gives readers four different couples and the struggles that they overcome. Life is never uneventful at the club called Collars & Cuffs. The owners and members have built a family and a safe haven for those that need it. Each man finds what he is looking for with the help of the others. When someone is in need the men gather together and find a way to help. These stories show just how strong the friendships and trust are between everyone.  How each couple fights their way through the pain and worries to find happiness and love.

The first story brings a new person into the mix. Jeff is another boy who was mistreated and living on the streets. He is brought to Damian’s house to recover and the adventure begins from there. Trust is hard earned, but Damian is willing to try if Jeff will take the chance.  Damian has lost love and is not looking for new partner but something about Jeff grabs his attention and will not let go. Can both men find a new way as lovers? Will Damian be able to give up being a Dom for a man who is not a sub?

The next story gives us Dorian and Alan. When Dorian goes in search of the bigger high of more pain he finds himself in over his head and in more trouble than he can handle. His friends finally find him and see what has been done to him. They take him home and Alan is there to pick up the pieces and heal Dorian, but will it be enough to put Dorian back together or is he lost to them forever?

Next come Eli and Jarod. Jarod is an older sub who has lost his Dom but not the need to serve. After failed attempts to find a Dom he begins to despair. When Eli comes into his life Jarod is not so sure about the young man, but their connection cannot be denied. Can the two men find what they are looking for in each other?

The last story brings Darren and JJ. As we watch these two men explore and find happiness in the club and their relationship we also get to see into the many lives of the other members. How their lives have progressed as have their relationships.

Each of these stories is a beautiful and emotional read. Love and trust are earned and fought for by all of these men. Secrets are revealed, and friendships are made stronger. I was quickly lost in each of these stories and loved how they all intertwined with the club and its members. The men have all become a family the love that they have for each other shows in what they do. I enjoyed getting to share the experiences that made their lives and opened their hearts.  Be ready to have your heartstrings pulled as well as your heart open while watching these men grow and learn to love.  The men of Cuffs & Collars have found their way to a wonderful life and a new beginning.
