Billy’s intrigued by the dirty man with matted dreadlocks, gaunt face and haunted eyes he meets on the street. So much so that when the raggedly dressed man tries to bum a cigarette, Billy offers him a warm meal at a local diner, instead. He might not understand his attraction to the homeless stranger he’s just met but Billy also trusts his instincts, seeing the submissive he’s been looking for in Montana. Billy thinks Montana is the man for him, and Montana thinks Billy is crazy for opening up his life and home to a worthless addict living on the streets.
Despite the problems Montana brings to their new and fragile relationship, Billy’s determined to help the younger man work through his painful problems, so he can move forward. That means replacing the high he gets from using drugs with something else and Billy thinks he has just the thing. First, he has to get Montana back on his feet, emotionally and physically, before he can introduce him to the lifestyle he loves.
Unfortunately, no one but Billy believes Montana is redeemable, and that includes Montana himself. Convincing the deeply wounded man that he’s worthy of having a good life is just one of the nearly insurmountable hurdles the couple must overcome. Will the scars from Montana’s troubled past and the reality of Billy’s chosen lifestyle scare him away? Or will he open his battered heart to the offered love that could be his salvation?
Found is the fourth and newest release in Sean Michael’s intriguing A Hammer series. Like the others, the title of this tale of redemption and salvation is perfect…Billy Found Montana on the street. Mr. Michael has taken an everyday occurrence, flipped it on its head and stomped it into submission, turning it into a healing love story…with a little kink and lots of hot sex. His vivid descriptions of Montana’s fear and precarious emotional state and Billy’s supportive responses are just two examples of the author’s talent and ability.
Mr. Michael takes his time developing the relationship between these vastly dissimilar men. He gives them the opportunity needed to build a strong emotional attachment, a life together and a deep friendship; all while getting Montana off drugs, before Billy introduces him to the BDSM lifestyle he loves. Their feelings for each other build and grow throughout the first half of the book before their physical relationship begins and when it does, the lust, passion and desire almost explodes off the page. The Dom in Billy knows that the submissive, but emotionally wounded Montana, needs a sense of trust and safety before he can open his heart and mind to the world Billy embraces.
Billy’s a great character. He’s an affluent, talented, open-minded Dom capable of seeing past the rough surface to the shining interior potential and what he sees in Montana draws him like a moth to a flame. Montana, on the other hand, needs help and direction finding his potential. He’s been downtrodden for so many years that he can’t get past his painful history, low self-esteem, insecurity and feelings of worthlessness. He can’t understand why Billy, a kind-hearted, funny and sexy man would want to have anything to do with him. He’s a loser and always will be, and he’s scared of losing Billy and their life together.
As is usual, Mr. Michael has created a well-written, paced and plotted book filled with realistic, likable and believable characters in the form of Montana and Billy and it was great seeing a few of the men we met in previous releases, as supporting characters. I’m always anxious for the next book in this series and after reading Found, it isn’t any different. I want it and I want it now. Please.
