Blurb: 

The night Tenny first meets David at the Oubliette Club is when it all begins: the lewd pictures being posted through Tenny's door, an intruder attempting to enter his home, the feeling of being watched and followed around. David is shy, timid and inexperienced when it comes to BDSM. He stands out like a sore thumb amongst the usual club-goers and Tenny is instantly drawn to his gentle nature.

However, David doesn't gel well with Tenny's overtly brash best friends, all of whom believe there's something strange about him. Tenny understands David's awkwardness, seeing something of his former self in him, and he quickly grows fond of his new friend.

In the meantime, Tenny does his best to deal with being stalked by an unknown stranger, wanting so hard to believe David is innocent.

Tenny fails to see how someone so quiet and fragile could ever do such horrible things, and is unable to stop from falling for him. Still, the unanswered questions, David's evasiveness surrounding his past, and co-incidental circumstances leave Tenny no choice but to confront the truth.

My review:

I love discovering new to me authors, and I just love when the books turns out awesome! 

I couldn't put this book down, the story and the characters were fascinating and I just wanted to know what happens next. It was cute, it was real and lovely. I only missed one thing: more erotica and/or BDSM.

Tenny and David's story was unique like their characters. I loved Tenny, he was such a positive character and had so much faith and patience. David was a whole different story, I couldn't decide to like or dislike him. The shyness was cute on some level, but after a time it was frustrating to see how shy hew was. 

I get him and loved that he represanted us the shy ones, and it was really good to see Tenny to have faith in David and gave him a chance. I connected with both characters at some point, and I love it when a book is speaking to me. 

The stalking was really good, and I couldn't wait to find out who the mysterious stranger was. And when it happened - OMG - it was so good! It was really exciting and I think I couldn't even breath then. So good! 

The emotions were good on the pages, the bdsm was good too (but I needed more), and the story was just cute.

I loved this book and recommend it!
