Joshua Hanson is a writer who has left his small southern hometown in search of D/s BDSM romance and a career. He knew there would be hell to pay if he came out to his small community, and did what was necessary to escape harassment and torment. Now, living in New York comes at a high price but Josh isn’t giving up on his dream. He decides to make ends meet by answering an ad for Dungeon Dreams, a local dungeon seeking submissives for hire. His new position isn’t what he would classify as a normal, but the rent is due and he knows how to disconnect his feelings from the clients -- or does he?

Michael Sutherland is a handsome Dom. He attracts men but hasn’t found the ying to his yang. The first encounter between Michael and Josh has surfaced feelings neither anticipated coming to life. Their session has put them on a path to love, but if Sam, the owner of Dungeon Dreams has anything to do with it, Josh won’t belong to Michael. Sam wants Josh for himself.

Claire Thompson brings love tussled up and ready for a good caning in Sub For Hire. Josh is a man with strong convictions and an even stronger mind. He doesn’t just bring a hot body to the table, but a naturally submissive nature that makes him irresistible. Michael is rich and handsome. He takes being a master seriously and believes in cherishing D/s relationships and reinforcing the foundation through trust and love. Watching these men was overwhelmingly erotic. I knew Michael’s past could cause trouble when Josh had to explain a few issues he had encountered. However, I was happy with Michael’s patience and gentle nature towards the man he loved. The story is a wonderful expression of D/s love, and is an excellent read.
