Leather Days Paperback – May 1, 2013

Bold, descriptive BDSM scenes wrapped around a pretty good story. Much more graphic detail than I was expecting. It was a good change from the m/m romance novels, many written by marginally talented female authors, I have read lately. The author is very good at detail and dialogue.
