Collared Hearts by Angelia Sparrow & Naomi Brooks

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Anthony and Josh are lovers since ten months. Apparently they are a perfect couple, but during the privacy there are some problems: Josh has some fears he can't overcome. Cause his tiny looks and his accultured behaviour, he can easily be mistaken for a bottom, and he absolutely can accept it. He is the Master, he is in control. So he categorically refuses every sex act that sees him as a bottom: no anal sex, no blowjobs, he even refuses to kiss his lover after receiving a blowjob by him.

Anthony is puzzled: he loves Josh, really; Josh is protective and nice, but still he feels like a whore when his lover buy him dinner, or pay his due or rent. And then Josh brings in their relationship a Master/Slave perspective and Anthony sees the chance to "force" a little his lover: forcing him to lose his control, maybe will unveil his true nature, and a collar will be the only masque Josh will need to hide his fear and free his spirit.

A very short novel but beautifully written. The relationship between Anthony and Josh is decipted in fast stroke but it manage to give you a whole and deep perspective of this couple. The character of Josh is complex and in evolution: first he is hateful and spoilt, then needing and lovely; you can't not love him, he is too cute (but don't say it to him, he can bite you back...)

Thank you for a very sweet review. I'm so glad that you understood Josh. I was afraid he would come off as a spoiled brat through the whole piece, despite his attempts at growing out if it.

Oh no, I have really liked Josh character: it's a new perspective in the gay romance. And he grews during the story, so everything is ok. ciao, elisa
