Matthew Fisher loved being a dancer, but his ten-year ballet career came to an abrupt end with a knee injury. He had to find a new way to make a living, and six months on the job training saw Matthew stepping out as a real estate agent for Aiken Luxury Lettings. Now, instead of stretching at the barre, Matthew spends his days inspecting the vacant London homes of their rich and famous clients.
Losing his dance career left a huge hole in Matthew’s heart, and to fill it Matthew began a Tumblr blog dedicated to his fetish for wearing lingerie.
One of his online followers presses all of Matthew's buttons, and a long-distance, online Dom/sub relationship develops. But when the relationship suddenly moves from online fantasy to real-life... can Matthew really submit?

5.0 out of 5 stars A prelude to something better - an audio review
Reviewed in Canada on November 1, 2017
This audiobook is short but sets up what promises to be a great series.

So the question is: if you meet a Dominant through the internet and you follow the training he guides you through, are you truly a submissive? HIS submissive?

In this case, Matthew (Silken) is a ballet dancer whose career has ended prematurely due to a knee injury. He has taken a job tending rich people’s residences. He is surrounded by luxury he will never himself enjoy.

He is not defeated and his relationship with the mysterious online Dom (Austin82) keeps him going. Exclusive – or so he believes – he follows his Master’s every command with the promise of a fulfilling relationship.

There are some quirky twists and turns, along with some intriguing and hot sex scenes. Who knew suction cups would be so useful? I love the theme of men enjoying sexy lingerie and the touch of BDSM adds heat, which I always enjoy.

Gomez Pugh is one of my favourite narrators and given that Matthew is British and the series takes place in London, I would have expected a British narrator. Pugh, however, does a great job. His accent for Matthew is good, but his deep and husky Austin is amazing.

I recommend this short fun and sexy read.

BDSM is usually something I avoid, but the promise of a ballet dancer character prompted me to read. I don't feel that I became knowledgeable enough of the two characters, and settings were lightly set. Fortunately, the actual sex scene wasn't uncomfortably graphic.

As I am a gatherer of books, I collect books and ebooks from a variety of sources: Goodreads wins, Bookhub, BookFunnel, emails from authors and publishers, and others. I do lose track of their sources. But, as a reader, I feel I should give an honest, unencumbered review for all I read.

A hot and sexy short story. Mathew is beautiful inside and out. He is also sensitive, sweet and and loving with a very sexy kink. Austin is everything Mathew wants and needs.

Austin is a sexy older man who has submerged his needs for a lifetime. Mathew is everything that Austin wants and needs. But Austin has a secret he has not shared with Mathew.

Compelling hot story that is well written. I have to read more by this author.
