My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reid and Max have been best friends for twenty‑five years, co‑founders of a kink community in South Florida. But after years of drama and disappointment, Reid is ready to walk away from it all. He’s frustrated with Max’s endless overthinking and desperate to finally reveal his true desires — only his attempt to confess ends in failure. Max, meanwhile, feels lost. Shutting down the community was liberating, but it left him adrift, still clueless about his identity in the lifestyle. He resigns himself to loneliness, convinced his deepest fantasies — primal play, submission, and being hunted — will never leave the shadows of his mind. With a vacation looming, the two men prepare to reconnect with old friends one last time. What begins as an ending may instead become a turning point, as Reid and Max confront their desires, their friendship, and the possibility that love and primal play could transform everything they thought they knew about themselves.
I loved this story about two men daring to confront desire, identity, and friendship — discovering that love can thrive even in the most primal of places. I loved the way that the author wrote the risk of transforming friendship into romance that highlighted the fear of losing what’s safe versus the hope of gaining something deeper. I also loved how the story explored how self-discovery is often messy, nonlinear, and requires courage to confront hidden desires. This was a great story about two men daring to confront desire and identity, proving that love can grow from friendship when both are brave enough to embrace vulnerability and primal truth. Lots of emotions and feelings that were easy to feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and BDSM-like elements.
