Bad Case of Loving You
By Laney Cairo
The abridged review…
OhMyGod, OhMyGod, OHMYGOD … How frickin' hot is this book?! … ungh … this was kinky fuckery without the bells and whistles … no dark, brooding clubs or leather daddies here … just raw, vibrant, smut … awesome stuff … by the way … if you have a glove fetish, this is your kind of porn … just sayin' … these boys like their dirty-sex, clean!
Thorough review…
There is a lot of things that make me love
this book … I love the Britishisms and quirky language … I adore
the realism of the medical back story … and the pièce de
résistance is the relationship between Matthew and Andrew.
BDSM is often written with overt protocol
and behaviour that I can’t empathise with … in this
story, Laney has shown a couple who satisfy their partners’ sexual needs
without the elaborate drama of most books with kink … she
makes the innocuous latex glove into an exotic sex toy and her descriptions of
the sex are subtle enough that one can use one’s imagination to fill in the
gaps … I like to be able to use my own inner eye to complete the picture
painted in words by an author and Laney managed this masterfully.
In addition to the kinky fuckery and
wonderful characters, there is a back story of the gritty reality of a public
hospital system … I learned my trade in a hospital just like this … I left home and moved into a world of blood, gore, bodily fluids
and medical practices that skirt the legal line at the tender age of seventeen … rarely do I read a book that captures the atmosphere of that life
so eloquently … people who work in that environment tend to work hard a party
harder and Laney portrayed this expertly … the
stories I could tell about those years would make your hair curl and I love the
way reading this book transports me back to those times.
In conclusion, although not a new book;
although not appealingly packaged; although needing a bit of polishing with an
editor; this book is a wonderful, smexy read, and highly recommended.
