Casey Cameron

This easily earns all five stars from me. I loved the slow progression of River and Ellison's connection. I loved how River's anxieties shaped his reactions, and his needs. I loved that it's all River's perspective. I laughed, and I cried. I cried quite a lot. Casey Cameron lands those emotional punches.

I adored River's friends. I want one of each. Seriously.

Though I'm not into BDSM, I've learned a lot this past decade (friends, and research). River's experiences felt right. And!!! Unlike some kink scenes I've read, I was never lost as to who was where and what was happening. Until you've tried to write such things, you can't understand what a great skill that is.

Logistically, my one problem is a short friend throwing her arm over River's shoulders. River is way taller. I see this in many stories. Unless you've been the tall person, you don't understand how awkward (or impossible) such gestures are.
