My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oliver gives things a second try with Lord Arden after their first weekend together goes badly, only to find himself increasingly drawn to the man beneath the icy, demanding exterior. As their dynamic softens into something deeper, Oliver senses Arden’s loneliness and the ghosts he refuses to share. With Arden set to return to England after the Halloween masquerade, Oliver must figure out whether he can reach the guarded man he’s falling for — or if Arden is already preparing to disappear from his life.
I loved this story where Lord Arden was the kind of character who steals the spotlight the moment he appears — all sharp edges, exacting standards, and a perfectly controlled exterior that dares anyone to get too close. Watching Oliver navigate that intensity is both thrilling and nerve‑wracking, because Arden’s emotional distance has the very real potential to break his heart. What makes the story so compelling is the tension between Arden’s rigid self‑containment and Oliver’s growing feelings. Every small crack in Arden’s armour feels monumental, and every moment of softness hints at the possibility that he might actually fall just as hard. The question of whether he’ll let himself do it keeps the pages turning. A deliciously prickly, emotionally charged romance where vulnerability is the ultimate risk — and the ultimate reward. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.
