The Bonds of Love by J.M. Snyder

Another enstallment in the Matty and Vic's saga, this time, lucky for us, pretty long to let us savour more of this perfect couple.

Matt is an handsome swim instructor who since three year lives with his lover, Vic, a bus driver. They are very different in looks, Matt the classical lean guy, fresh and clear, and Vic all tattoo, piercing and muscle. But they are perfect together since Vic is a total submissive man, despite his looks, and Matt is more than happy to play the role of dom and caretaker for his big guy. There is only a little problem: when they make love, Matt gives to Vic superpowers, and they don't know what to expect the "morning after".

After three years they seem to have settle down and control the superpowers, but everything seem to conjure to make Vic a very jelaous man. First his co-worker, and former boyfriend of Matt, Kyle, wants at every cost to go out together in a double date with their boyfriends, and then they discover that the new boyfriend of Kyle is Jordan, the first lover of Matt, and the first guy to gain superpowers after having sex with Matt. And now that he has found Matt again, he seems to don't accept a no.

With this novel finally I have the chance to read a bit more of Vic and Matt. Above all of Vic, who is a really interesting character. He continues to describe himself like a big guy with very little to draw a man like Matt, but more I read of him, and more I like him. He is so tender and so unable to displease Matt. He would do anything for his man, and cuddle him and spoil him are his first priorities. Matt instead, at first seem more serious and clever, but he is also a nice guy, always ready to laugh and play. What I like most in this couple is their interaction, in and out the bed, which is, despite the paranormal setting, genuine and real, playful and hot.

Both Matt and Vic have waited a lot for Mr Right and now they are happy together, really persuaded to have found their soul mate, even if it's not a perfect model type of man, or an handsome and rich business man. The perfect man is not a symbol, but it's someone you hold tight by night and then play with during breakfast, passing over the fact he is grumpy and growling, and maybe with an old robe and too sleepy to hear what you are saying to him. But he is also the man who thinks you are all his life.

Goodness gracious! You're fast. I love these guys, too. Once things quiet down a little in my household, I'll wander over to the publisher and buy.

Thanks for the review.

I have just visited it J.M. (I see it in your newsletter). It's cool, even if I imagine Vic a bit more handsome! :-) Elisa

For me, that picture of Vic is very drool worthy. I love my men all growly and scowling. *grins* There's just something about that wrinkle in their brow when they scowl, that makes me want to kiss them all over.

Oh well. Everyone has his kinkyness! Usually I don't like bald man, but for Vic I make an exception. Elisa
