Blue Ruin series was born like a yaoi romance which blended in a BDSM relationship. At its third book, the yaoi component is only hinted and the BDSM relationship is in full swing. Blue and Derek still live together and they had overcome the little escapade of Blue with Cameron; true, Blue sometime still thinks to his old sweetheart, but I believe that Blue is too much for someone like Cameron, probably he is too much also for Derek.This is probably the main aspect of the novel. Derek should be the Master on the relationship, but for me he isn't enough of the dominant type. Derek likes to play, but he is more into the aesthetic of the game, than into the pleasure / pain things. When he is making a scene, he is like painting, he develops all the details, he enjoys in the view and then he makes love to Blue, but he always stops a bit before the limit, even before Blue himself asks him to stop. This trait of Blue is something that you can find till the first book: Blue is a brat, but he is a strong willed brat, he always does what he wants, and I think he is never really in a submissive position. He can go on with his game since Derek has yet not still realized that he is played around by his little pet, and this is instead the specifically trait of Derek, he is sometime out in his world, and doesn't really understand what it's happening around him.
The noise element in the story is Sasha, a russian mob leader who takes a fancy on Blue. But Sasha is a man of honor and he respects the D / s relationship between Derek and Blue, and so he doesn't try to steal the boy from Derek, but he forces the couple to play for him. Sasha and his russian friends are a funny bunch, probably not much realistic, but nevertheless nice. I have a presentiment that Sasha and a certain guy with silver hair could be an interesting couple; since I read a short story about a blind pet, I always wonder how it could be a long story on this argument.
For who was left a bit stunned by the menage evolution in the second book, with this third installment all the things go in path, and the bond between Derek and Blue is stronger than ever. If not for the slightly problem that Blue is always interested and excited by other men... yes, I believe Blue is a bit of a slut, but he is a faithful slut, so he never plays along his secret desires.

I was curios to read this one since L.A. Day is an het author I was looking since a bit, but for a reason or another I never picked up one of her books (mostly for Ellora's Cave). From what I read she was the "classical" erotica author, and in the positive means of the word.
