About this listen

Laurence Dalziel is worn down and washed up, and for him, the BDSM scene is all played out. Six years on from his last relationship, he's pushing 40 and tired of going through the motions of submission. Then he meets Toby Finch. Nineteen years old. Fearless, fierce, and vulnerable. Everything Laurie can't remember being.

Toby doesn't know who he wants to be or what he wants to do. But he knows, with all the certainty of youth, that he wants Laurie. He wants him on his knees. He wants to make him hurt, he wants to make him beg, he wants to make him fall in love. The problem is, while Laurie will surrender his body, he won't surrender his heart. Because Toby is too young, too intense, too easy to hurt. And what they have - no matter how right it feels - can't last. It can't mean anything. It can't be real.

The age gap between the two and the constant reminder of Tobys immaturity ruined it for me. But also the story was just boring

The narrators are fantastic, for a very very very slow somewhat boring book. It felt like a chore to finish it.

Narrators save the book.

I am not sure if the terrible narrators detracted from the writing but the book was just a disappointment compared to the other the books in the Spires stories.
