FROM BESTSELLING GAY ROMANCE AUTHOR MORTICIA KNIGHT
Book seven in the Kiss of Leather series
It takes a charity auction to show them what they've both been too stubborn to see.

This book starts with a bang, let me tell you. By now fans of this series know that each new book starts with a quick catch up with the couple from the previous book. Let's just say that Facing Fears brings everything with Corey's past and that circle of sadistic craziness to a close. Finally, retribution, and leave it to Knight to throw another curve ball in there for her readers.
Moving right along. Tobey left KOL when a comment from the one man he could see being his Master, his forever love, is taken out of context. Or should I say, Hunter misspoke and didn't take the time to make himself clear, so Tobey ran simply out of self preservation. Fate has an uncanny knack of getting her way though, so Tobey comes home, back to KOL with one request. He doesn't want to have to deal with Hunter. The Master is going to have to be the one to bend and acclimate if he stands a chance of winning Tobey's forgiveness, his trust, but most importantly... his heart.
I think one of my favorite aspects of this series is how every Dom and every Sub are different. Seven books in and every storyline changes to fit that particular couple. Also, the Author does a phenomenal job of really explaining the lifestyle which includes unique descriptives for each character and what makes them tick. While I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, Corey and Derek were my favorite coupling, until now. I absolutely loved the way Knight wrote the auction and slipping back and forth between Tobey and Hunter's POV. The way Hunter had to give up complete control in order to win his boy back. These chapters were intense as Tobey has a very visceral reaction to what's happening at that point in time. Hunter has to make it right no matter the cost, and damn the consequences.
Even if you are not a fan of BDSM type stories, you will likely enjoy this series. While there are descriptive scenes and scenarios within the lifestyle they are never gratuitous, painful to the point of cringing, non or dubious consent. There is always love, admiration and trust and I think that is what sets this particular series apart from any other in the BDSM sub-genre. You MUST start with book 1 though, can't jump in there without starting at the beginning.

It takes a charity auction to show them what they've both been too stubborn to see.
As the men at Kiss of Leather celebrate the resolution of the case of Corey’s kidnappers, Master Hunter worries that he’ll never see Tobey again.
Chuck isn’t about to let one of the key figures behind Corey’s kidnapping get away from him again. Everything he and Stone have discovered through their months-long investigation is about to come together. However, when Chuck follows the suspect to a shipyard, it’s not only his own life that’s in danger.
Master Hunter is officially part-owner of Kiss of Leather, so he’s thrilled to raise a toast in celebration now that the mystery of Corey’s kidnapping has been solved. However, he can’t help but feel left out. Everyone is paired up except for him. He’s never believed in monogamy before, but after Tobey unexpectedly left Kiss of Leather and no one knows where he’s gone, did Hunter make a horrible mistake by not sharing his true feelings?
Tobey has been miserable ever since leaving West Hollywood and going back to Idaho. After breaking his own promise to himself by falling in love with his trainer, Tobey impulsively left Kiss of Leather because of something awful Master Hunter said. But things at home are worse than ever and he’s come to realize that those who are related to him by blood aren’t necessarily his true family. The only place he’s ever felt he truly belonged was at Kiss of Leather.
Tobey has to face Hunter if he goes back to Kiss of Leather and Hunter has to figure out what he really wants from life and love. It takes a charity slave auction to show them what they’ve both been too stubborn to see.

Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She is currently working on more installments of Sin City Uniforms and The Hampton Road Club, as well as the follow-up to Bryan and Aubrey's story from Rockin' the Alternative.
