Summary

Twisted Wishes lead-guitarist Dominic "Domino" Bradley is an animal onstage. But behind his tight leather pants and skull-crusher boots lies a different man entirely, one who needs his stage persona not only to perform, but to have the anonymity he craves. A self-imposed exile makes it impossible to get close to anyone outside the band, so he's forced to get his sexual fix through a few hot nights with a stranger.

When computer programmer Adrian Doran meets Dominic, he's drawn to the other man's quiet voice and shy smile. But after a few dirty, demanding nights exploring Dominic's need to be dominated, Adrian wants more than a casual distraction. He has no idea he's fallen for Domino Grinder - the outlandish, larger-than-life rock god.

Dominic is reluctant to trust Adrian with his true identity. But when the truth is revealed prematurely, Dominic is forced to reevaluate both his need for Adrian and everything he believes about himself.

Contains mature themes.

Guitar duet

Intimacy and restraint are two important aspects of this book, second in a three novel series. We see very little of Twisted Wishes on stage, their fans, or the tour bus. Instead, the author focuses on Dominic / Domino, the band's guitarist. Outside of the band, Dom is a different man. He lives a normal-ish life which he loves just as much as when he makes music. Dom's inner conflict and turmoil which come from him trying to balance the two iterations of himself as he falls in love, are the main drivers of the plot.

This inevitably means a lot of internal dialogue and some angst. But also love and kink. Any queer person who has ever compartmentalised their life will be able to identify to some degree with Dom's troubles.

I found the change of pace and focus after the first novel just as engaging. A quieter, but still sexy, interlude before story no. 3.
