Tricks and Bids (Suit of Harte's, #1)
This novella was straight to the point M/M BDSM erotica skimmed and passed type of story, for me at least. Nothing was memorable, some scenes and most of the dialogue made me cringe, and I'm pretty sure the cover art was better than the story itself. It wasn't for me but could honestly see how this could be engaging for most readers who are just in it for the bow chicka wow wow since it’s 80% of the book so eat your hearts out ladies (and gens) because you're in for a wild ride.

Well that escalated quickly!
It was a straight to the point BDSM kinkfest (eh but not really) with no tricks or gimmicks. Sure there was a lack of a storyline, oddly enough real kink from the MCs, depth, character development, and real romance but we're not here for that now are we?
The non-descriptive sex scenes and what seems to be the lack of kinkiness from the characters were the real downfalls to this read. I generally prefer reading all nitty gritty details on what's happening with our boys but then again, that's just a personal preference. More so, the sex scenes featured were very bland and mediocre despite the primary setting being in the BDSM club, it just didn't delivered.
In any event, this second installment of the Suit of Harte’s series was okay and would probably be ideal for readers who are looking for a quick kinky fix.

Jacqueline Grey is another new author for me. This Suit of Harte's Series looks as though it's being republished from 2014. The covers are updated to be much more modern looking - and quite delicious! The stories stand the test of time; I'm not sure if the author has done any editing.
In this particular novella, Dillan Spade is leaving a BDSM club one night when he's propositioned by Michael Noel. NOrmally, Dillan wouldn't pay to scene with someone but there's something about Michael that entices him too. In spite of the fact that Michael isn't a full-time sub, the two men connect well. It's not long before their feelings are getting involved...and things need to change from a business arrangement to something else if they're going to protect themselves. Or maybe... they need to break things off.
What I really enjoyed about this novella was that there's a great deal of depth to the characters in spite of the brevity! Grey has done a wonderful job of sneaking in lots of past, feelings, thoughts, without over-writing for the length of the work. That's a great skill and makes me look forward to reading a longer work from this author.
The BDSM is well thought out. I was pleased to see the contracting and negotiations. You all know that nothing drives me bonkers more than BDSM that doesn't read as authentic. This does, and I'm thankful for that.
Definitely a series I would keep reading!… (more)
