Review

Jinx is a spitfire, but also hurting and desperate to find his person. Especially living with Julien and Romeo.

He’s a lovely guy, and though bratty, not in the annoying way. He’s lively and in need of care and direction.

Enter Mason.

Mason never really recovered from his last relationship, sworn off them entirely. Then bam, he runs into Jinx. Enough said!

I love that the focus is on both men healing, not just one-sided. And though they are at different stages of life, healing has no timeline.

Full of emotion, new beginnings, and an expanding found family. Definitely recommend.

Synopsis

I swore off men, only to find someone who has set me free.

Mason Vitali

I’ve finally found my perfect sub, but he’s so much more than that.

What started as an accident turned into fate. Or was it fate that caused the accident? Those eyes of his, so full of fear and want. It’s been eight years since I had a sub, and the last one ended in disaster. I swore to myself: never again. Then here comes this young man, desperate to be seen, to be put in his place. He doesn’t realize it yet… but I do. Jinx is full of vinegar and defiance, but get him in the right mood, and he opens up like a beautiful flower in spring. He bends so easily for me, and in the end, I bend for him. He’s so much deeper and special than I ever imagined. I would give everything up for him.

Jinx

I promised myself no more men. Ever.

Mason Vitali scares me. I’m also intrigued. After being trafficked as an infant and sold into prostitution, I finally had my freedom, but I refused to be with another man. Now, following two years of trying to date women and failing miserably, I want to try something new. Mason is willing to give that to me. Little did I know that having him as my Dom had also given me my life back. My control. My autonomy. I was a prisoner in my body and mind. Mason set me free. But like all things in life, we’ve come to a crossroads. Now, I have to decide whether to let him go so he can thrive or stay and let him fail.

About Courtney W. Dixon

Courtney W. Dixon loves to write erotic romance. She writes both m/f and m/m stories all in one series to add a variety to her characters. Though there are erotic elements to her stories, they are rich with relationship growth. Even those enemies to lovers, a favorite of hers. Her characters are filled with deep POVs with trouble pasts, full of depth and emotion. She tries to give them complexity and growth as their stories move. And her favorite is to break her main characters down to lift them back up in order to give them their HEA's.
