Sunday's Safe Word Shelf: Master's Boys by Patricia Logan



Trick #1
Summary:
Wade is a throwaway, forced into prostitution at fourteen and living on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Nearly four years later, and now calling himself Trick, he’s still struggling to survive. While huddled in a doorway on a cold rainy morning, he thanks his lucky stars when an expensive Mercedes pulls up and rolls down a window.

Phoenix, known as Master P, may be a big intimidating Dom, but he has a soft spot for vulnerable young men. When he sees a homeless kid trembling in the cold, he has to stop and pick him up. What he finds is a boy with a naturally submissive nature and a damaged soul. As he begins to train the boy at the online BDSM club where he’s employed, DOMZ.com, they form a fast and explosive combination.

When Trick begins to fall for his big Dom, Phoenix is forced to tell him that this is only play. The resulting fallout will shake Phoenix to his very core. Is this chance encounter doomed for failure or can the two men find a balance?

Jett #2
Summary:
Jett's a tough kid, fighting his way through life and slinging dope to survive on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Master T is known for his direct, unyielding approach with submissives. He won’t allow Jett to hide anything, intent on breaking down every emotional wall and finding the core submissive spirit hidden within. Will Jett find a way to connect with Master T through his fears?

Kaden #3
Summary:
Kaden Markwell, spoiled rich kid, has always chosen the hard way to learn life’s lessons, though he doesn’t see it that way. Now that he’s been caught in an act that, should it get out, will embarrass his millionaire father and ruin his mother’s career, he’s taken things a step too far. Kaden has no choice but to finally do what his daddy says as he’s sent off to an old family friend to get his act together.

At DOMZ.com, Kaden is not the one calling the shots anymore, and his good looks and boyish charms are more likely to leave him gagged and hogtied than with his way. When Master R, a renowned Shibari rope master, steps in to show the rebellious Kaden a thing or two about control, will they find Kaden’s inner submissive or will the experience leave them both tied in knots?

Grit #4
Summary:
Grit is a kid who’s run the gauntlet. Suffering tragedy at a tender age and coping with it the only way he knew how, the boy has lived a lifetime in his eighteen years. Forced out of the only home he’s ever known and onto the mean streets of Los Angeles, Grit must find the means to survive but does he have the will anymore?

When two unlikely heroes step into his life, Grit reluctantly accepts the safety they appear to offer. Thrust into a world where he can only observe and not participate even if he’d wanted to, Grit learns to cope—with his past and his future. After all, he always lands on his feet.

A chance meeting with an incredible dominating man turns Grit’s world upside down. Where Grit has always made his own rules, this Master wants to control him, and Grit's desire to please this tender-hearted man shifts his tightly controlled world on its axis. Can Grit embrace the changes in his life, and will the control of this Master lead Grit to the freedom he searches for?

Stix #5
Summary:
Stix is a young man who’s just trying to make his way. Nearly five years ago he’d lost his first job when he was caught in the barn with the farmer’s son. He counted himself fortunate to have found work at the Lazy E Dude Ranch and Winery in rural Westburg, Texas. What’s more, Stix has always known he was different. Horses and leather are all he’s ever known and loved but he craves something more.

Con #6

Forced to do what he had to do to survive a brutal past, Theo Kargakos is jaded and angry at life. When his twin is nearly killed in a car accident, he takes the first job he can find to pay for her special care needs. Desperate and alone, he is literally brought to his knees to do what he must for her.

Using the online name of Con, Theo finds the sex business pretty stimulating and when Zack’s hot Doms step up to teach him a thing or two, he finds himself extremely interested in learning more.

Trick #1
Phoenix marveled at how beautiful Zack was. If he hadn't been a Dom himself, he'd have played with Zack a long time ago. Watching him go at the subs they shared had been hotter than hell, but since committing to Cassidy Ryan, Zack's hot new cop boyfriend, Zack had stopped booking sessions with subs. It seemed that Zack wanted only one man these days, a blond Malibu Ken doll with a badge.

"Spill, Ivan, anything I can help with," Zack said.

"I brought someone back to the studio with me this morning," Cassidy said. Zack lifted an eyebrow, uncrossed his arms and leaned forward.
"Do tell," the Dom said.

"I was driving in to the studios this morning and saw this young kid huddling in a doorway. He was turning tricks. The minute I rolled down the window, he shoved his groin out at me and asked me if I wanted some. It was pouring fucking rain."

"Aw hell," Zack said. "How young are we talking here, Ivan?" Phoenix knew that Zack was a very good and decent man, but he wouldn't put his business in jeopardy by harboring a minor under his roof.

"He says he turned eighteen last week. I think he's telling the truth," Phoenix answered.

"You confirm it, Ivan. Then, you can let the kid stay as long as you want."

*****

Zack knew of Ivan's background of being kicked out by his parents as a young man. Picking this kid up had been an entirely compassionate move on Ivan's part. Zack also knew that Ivan had a thing for young submissives. He'd worked for him for several years and was a huge draw on the internet. People loved logging in and seeing him pound away at his subs, in more ways than one. One of the favorite Doms, Phoenix was well known for his play with very young men and he wondered whether Ivan had the intent to bring him into the lifestyle.

"What are your intentions with him?" Zack asked.

"I intend on training him. He's already a natural submissive and quite innocent even though he's lived on the streets," Phoenix said. Zack wondered about that, but because the kid was so young, he didn't doubt it. If he'd been on the streets for a while, that meant he hadn't finished school or much of anything else. Just because he sucked cock so that he could eat, didn't mean he had the emotional maturity of an adult.

"What's his name?" Zack asked.

"Wade, but he uses the name Trick," Phoenix replied. Zack just shook his head.

"That's too bad, Ivan. I hate to see young kids sell themselves. Unfortunately, it's all too common."

"I thought I could broadcast our training sessions," Phoenix offered. Zack nodded, looking Phoenix in the eye.

"I don't have a problem with it, but how are you going to get the kid to agree to that?" Phoenix grinned.

"You just leave that to me, Zack. I think the kid is going to be into this once I get a chance to begin his training. I'll break the ice with him tonight once he's had a shower, a nap, and a hot meal." Zack smiled back, nodding. Phoenix stood and Zack did as well.

"I know you'll take care of him, Ivan." Zack reached out and shook his hand.

Grit #4
Phoenix watched as Rokuro walked up to the young man, took him by both shoulders, looking into his eyes, and told him to strip. The man complied, and by the time he was naked, he was excited and erect, his medium-sized cock standing straight out from his body. Phoenix and Gabriel took up positions on either side of the man and then assisted Rokuro in turning him upside down and held him in place while Rokuro secured him to the uppermost bars of the X shaped device by his ankles. Then they stepped back and into place, Phoenix moving to the left side and in front of the St. Andrew’s cross, within the submissive’s line of sight. Gabriel did the same on the right side while Rokuro proceeded to tie the sub’s wrists to the legs of the cross, near the cement floor. Finally, the man was secured by his waist to the middle of the cross by several more white silken ropes, the kind that Rokuro preferred to use.

Phoenix had been suspended when he’d been tied this way. Personally, he’d hated the feeling of being held upside down and completely at the Dom’s mercy. The fact that the floor beneath his head was made of concrete didn’t help his feeling of security. All good Doms tried to experience most aspects of BDSM at one time or another. They had to know how their submissives felt while being worked with and the emotions that they went through when they were in the playroom. It made them better Doms and it provided for the maximum amount of safety for their submissives if they knew the very nature of the pain that each toy or device used for percussion play provided. Phoenix had hated all of it with the exception of a dildo and various butt plugs which provided extreme pleasure when used properly, but that was because he was not into pain and he was not a submissive. Having the devices used on him was not a pleasurable experience for him but it had given him a fantastic education in what he was doing to his subs and how far they could be pushed. He’d also realized the psychology of how important the sub’s emotions were and just how vulnerable they were while in the playroom.

From the moment Andrew Wise and McKenzie Evans first met, they tried to fight the magnetism that pulled them together.  No matter how hard they struggled with their feelings, their love was a force so strong that neither of them could deny it.

The news of Olivia Hamilton’s pregnancy, and the understanding that Drew is the father, led McKenzie to flee with the hope of rectifying her secret betrayal of falling in love with her best friend’s boyfriend.  However, when Drew showed up and declared his undying love for her, McKenzie could no longer deny the truth.  She and Drew were destined for each other.

McKenzie now has no choice but to face Olivia in order for her and Drew to move on with their lives together.  Secrets and lies may have kept them apart, but now, in the light of the truth, their legacy shines as pure as their love.

For as long as Drew can remember, there has always been tension between him and his father, Jonathan.  This time is proving no different.  Since sharing the truth of his past with McKenzie, Drew is emboldened by her unwavering love and acceptance of the man he is.  He’ll do anything necessary to protect the woman he loves and the life he’s come to understand she deserves.  With Jonathan and Olivia teamed together to rip them apart, Drew and McKenzie, along with the aid of some unexpected allies, must join forces to overcome the obstacles that will inevitably come their way.

Beauty and the Beast by Angela Fattig

Title: Beauty and the Beast
Author: Angela Fattig
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 7, 2015

***50% of ebook sales will be donated to fight child abuse. So when you buy a copy for $3.99 you are doing your part to protect a child.***
Summary:
Security...
Safety...
Fuck them and leave...
And the most important one...
Don’t give them your heart.

For both Shannon Taylor and Jareth Stein it’s been the same thing. Day after day, year after year.
Shannon Taylor knows all about hurt and betrayal. It’s something she never talks about. Not even her best friend knows.

High school is a very unkind place. Hell the whole childhood thing is Hell. Aren’t fathers supposed to love their children not hurt them?

Jareth Stein knows the secret of life. Leave them before they leave you.

That was the lesson his mother taught him all those years ago when she left him in the hands of his abusive father for another man. Never to be seen again.

In addition to the issues Jareth and Shannon face already; Jareth’s mom comes back with a message:
If you don’t give me what I want I will destroy you and everyone you love; starting with Shannon.


     He sits back again and laughs. “I wouldn’t know,” he says, “I’ve only ever used it on you, sweetheart. Besides, it really wasn’t a line it was true. Anyway, judging by your eyes I wouldn’t need any line with you.”
     “Really?” I question deciding to play along, “So what would you use?”
     He shrugs. “My words,” he answers and leans forward again. “If I wanted to get you into bed all I would need to do is come right out and tell you I was ready to fuck.” He says this in a low and deep voice that has my insides turning to mush and my panties soaked.
     “If,” I question breathlessly. I can’t believe I’m still playing this dangerous game because he’s right.
     He smirks. “You know I want to fuck you,” he says, “How could you not. You were ogling a hole through my cock only moments ago.”
     I huff and cross my arms over my chest. “I was not ogling you cock,” I say although we both know that’s a lie.
     He laughs. “Well?” he questions raising a brow.
     Frowning and say, “Well what?”
     “Wanna fuck?” he asks his voice dropping even more. I’m shocked into silence as he stands and extends his hand for me to take. “Come on sweetheart. You know you want me to fuck your brains out.”
     I swallow, place my hand in his, and he pulls me to my feet. I’m scared to death, but I’ve never wanted anything more than to have this man fuck me senseless. Without a word he turns pulling me out the door behind him.

Author Bio:
We are two thirty-something females, living in Cornwall, England.
We both have full time jobs and manage to squeeze writing in around very busy lives.

Last year we joked about writing a book, and in December we actually started writing! On 12th March 2014 we pressed the ‘publish’ button and didn’t breathe for a whole several minutes!
We have now written four books, ‘Rocking Esme’, ‘Rocking Scarlett’, ‘Rocking Marcy’ and ‘Rocking Ashton’ and we also have a million other book ideas which we are dying to write!

When we first started writing, we didn’t tell anyone- not even our other halves! We decided to tell them about a month before publishing, then about a week before publishing we told our friends and family.

We both love reading, and since buying Kindles, reading has become much more of an obsession and we have both discovered authors we had never heard of. Some favourites are… Jennifer Foor, Aurora Rose Reynolds, Kirsty Moseley, Kelly Elliot, Terri Anne Browning, Diane Chamberlain… the list is endless!
