A lot of the m/m books have a small amount of D/s in them, even if it is just a Daddy kink. But some of these books really deal with BDSM as a lifestyle. The Elegant Corpse is a very good book as an opening into reading this genre. Again, this is just a very small sample of what is available. Kim Dare has a huge amount of books - covering vamps and shifters - but always with an element of BDSM.
So be sure to check out the authors web sites for other books.

I am halfway through the Rawlings Men series... and keep getting distracted by the next new, shiny book. Yes..we all know who is to blame! Patrick!
Some of the best books I read last year are in this genre - namely The Elegant Corpse, A Strong Hand, Duck! and The Geography of Murder Series where the whole BDSM as a lifestyle actually was understandable, and in fact, a beautiful relationship.

Andy... At the beginning of this thread - do you see our Deviant boys? Without " phucking " Phan ..... Maybe an enlargement is required.

OH MY I love the title of this thread.... we need a blushing smilie!!! I'm halfway thru the Rawlings series too.... but there is just so many books to get to!!!!

Okay, yeah I see them. Finally. LOL

Isn't Derby incredibly adorable, Sabby?

You guys just keep stretching my opinion of what is acceptable. Chances are good that if ya'll like em, I will too. I will check back on this thread later. Too many in my tbr to start something new. sigh

Honestly 2shay, of the books listed the Deviations ones by Payne and Owens I wouldn't recommend. I found them to be too much in terms of sex (yeah, I said that) and the characters didn't stay true to themselves by the end of the series. Of the books listed there my favorites were probably The Elegant Corpse and A Strong Hand. Both had some kink but incredibly loving and tender relationships. The Elegant Corpse was also just a darn good mystery.

Fae....Thanks. That helps. Nothing like having someone to help guide me through.

Yeah Derby was pretty adorable, and Ed was no slacker either he's my favorite Rawlings so far. But Willis from book 2 just broke my heart..... I wanted to give him a big hug!

When I started book 2 I didn't realize it was a different Rawlings man. I was so upset he was out getting a bj at a glory hole! Then came the big reveal and I was thinking, "Oh, nevermind."

Shay I loved the first 2 Deviation books ..... Wish I hadn't bothered with 3,4,5. Geography of Murder and it's sequel are 2 of my favourite reads, ever!

Ya'll know I will probably try them all. I am not beyond laying a book down if it doesn't suit me. But...ahem...Swede....Dark Horse was so wonderful that I won't be saying no to much for a while.

Yep. Elegant Corpse would be a good intro .

Ahhh....I can't find it on Amazon. Other AM Riley books, but not The Elegant Corpse.

ETA: Found it on LooseID.....waiting for me on my trusty kindle.

Eeeeeuuuuwwwwww.....! That first "scene" with Peter....eewwwwwwww ..

LOL Yeah, that wasn't love.

Damn.... I wanna reread now!! By the way Shay... It is fun seeing you read books

It is! Shay really REACTS to books. And has no problems telling us her reaction.

Aw, shucks! I'm a spectator sport!

And a good reviewer Shay, we know if you like it the rest of us will to. Not sure about this genre, not something I understand but hey has that stopped me reading the stuff you guys recommend before? I think not.

Elegant Corpse ... My abiding memories are of the way Roger takes Sean's hand as he is about to chew his nails while watching that scene; the swearing lol; the nipple ring and the eating peanut butter out of the jar! And I must admit everytime I see a redhead now, with that pale skin I think of these 2 guys ..... I really want to reread...

44% into the book now, Greencat, and I don't understand it either. But, except for that first "scene", nothing has made me slam my kindle shut. I am enjoying the characters. I think the author is trying to make a point here about domestic abuse? Versus Dom/sub relationships? Not sure. It may be something else entirely.


The Elegant Corpse
ETA: the "scene" that Swede was talking about where Roger reached for Sean's hand was disturbing. I don't understand why anyone would WATCH someone being artfully whipped much less participate...but I am trying to get in their heads enough to understand.

It fascinates me. I would love to chat to someone who lives that lifestyle. I think ths book really highlights that D/s can be so beautiful. The love, respect, and that intrinsic need, that the Dom has to care for his sub; like when Roger initially brings Sean home with him. Obviously some of them are just masochistic dicks while on the other side some are sometimes just pain sluts , but Roger is just beautiful.

when he says - if Sean just wants to make love in a bed every night, then that is cool.

Swede, I have already seen that protective streak in Roger. I really like Mary Anne. And the case they're working is WAY good.

It really is a great book. All round. There is just one thing that always bemused me ... But I won't say, yet. This was the first book that really clicked with me, re bdsm. When I read the V bits of his various activities I never found it particularly interesting, more just "ouch" and I think I prefer this take on it, as opposed to the person craving at as a punishment that they think they deserve, which is possibly cliche. Since this book I have read quite a few more, and I think V is the only protag that is doing it as self punishment or loathing, as opposed to a healthy kink
