Jeff has hired on as the manager of the house owners Dev and Barney are trying to create for the servers at the Hammer Club, and dealing with all those twinks is like herding cats. Still, he loves his new job, which is partly due to meeting hot, interesting sub, Paul.
Paul is Devvie's best friend, a bartender at the Hammer Club, and a sweet little bottom. He believes he breaks Doms, though, so when he falls for Jeff, he figures the best thing he can do is stay away. Jeff won't let him hide, and soon they're seeing each other, despite Paul's worries.
Can Jeff and Paul overcome the past and make a life together?
First edition publishd by Torquere Press in August 2013.
The second book in this Hammer spinoff series is as much fun to read and has as many kinky scenes as the first volume. This new "Hammer Light" with its emphasis on the loving part of a new relationship, little BDSM, and just a touch of D/s that helps the sub deal better with his life and makes the Dom a more fulfilled man, is definitely a success as far as I'm concerned. All the shenanigans of the subs living in one place, the drama they manage to produce, and the sheer chaos around them is a wonderful setting for new love to blossom.
Paul (Devon's best friend from book one) is a cute guy, wants to help, but has just about the lowest self-esteem of anyone I've ever read about. He actually believes that he makes people crazy, a "truth" his a**hat of a previous "Dom" has managed to drill into his head. It destroys Paul's hope for love, he doesn’t even dare call Jeff "Sir", and it's gotten to the point where he tries to hide so he doesn’t ruin other people's lives.
Luckily, Jeff, the new house manager for the place where Hammer subs and waiters can find a safe home, takes one look at Paul and begins to fall for him. He certainly isn’t about to believe that Paul will "damage" him. As the two men get to know each other and get closer, he slowly manages to get the truth out of Paul about what happened, and sets out to make it all better.
If you like reading about a man who thought he'd never find love, but wants it desperately, if you enjoy lots and lots of loving and kinky bedroom activity, and if the self-conscious, shy sub getting rescued by a kind and loving Dom is your thing, you will probably like this novella.
