His life may be falling apart but he's not looking for someone to fix it.

Or is he?

Slade's not at rock bottom but he's close. His band split up, his bank account is empty, and his best friend went and fell in love.

As soon as Jack saunters up behind him, Slade's immediately on edge. Jack is fancy suits and expensive whiskey, while Slade is dive bars and cheap beer. Besides, why would someone who owns a kink club be interested in a wreck like him?

Slade doesn't want to crave Jack, yet he can't bring himself to disobey his demands. He knows Jack can give him rewards he never dreamed of...

Structure.
Hope.
Love.

Jack might be in charge, but it's Slade who holds the power. In order to get what he needs, he'll have to accept Jack's help.

Note: Rules to Live By is a dual-POV book featuring a brat who's not used to following the rules and a workaholic businessman who may be too committed to the success of his unique kink club. The Lodge series will follow the growing popularity of this club as well as the men who make it run.

I fell for Slade almost automatically. He's down and out, and that makes him bratty and so loveable I could squee!!!! I liked that both boi and daddy had to learn what worked for them; their roles and priorities and the dynamics of their relationship. Change and growth is a good thing. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job with voices and expressions.

I wish kink writers included conversations about boundaries and preferences and safe words BEFORE characters jump into it. Vanilla sex without discussion - usually okay, kinky sex without discussion - potentially disastrous.

Narration was decent from Slade’s POV, but Jack sometimes sounds British? And MANY of the side characters literally sound like the Grinch…

Okayish kink, bad narration

It's the same author as Club 83, a series I am not impressed with. This book is much the same, slow and boring. And although Christopher Rain isn't outright bad, he insists on laughing. Every time one of the dominant characters 'laughs', he sounds like an exhausted maul Santa on December 23. It's so annoying I had to cut the book mid laugh.

I should have checked closer before I bought it

This book fell short in so many ways. The narration was odd with mispronounced words and odd voices for many characters. Also, it is set around the owner of a kink club but it seemed to shy away from showing the lifestyle. It was an 8 plus hour journey with no destination. I really wanted to like it so I stuck it out till the end but I won't be continuing the series.

This is a return for me

This is supposed to be a kinky book but there is no kink in it except boys calling their partners "daddy" and liking being told what to do. There was almost no exploration into kinks, no good sex scenes that at least made for interesting content, just a ton of talking, talking, talking.
And the narrator, as always, over enunciates and makes everyone sound robotic except maybe Jordan and Slade. Now that I think about Slade, they touched on his background but didn't actually bring any part of it into the story. It's just narrated about. In fact, this author does that for every character. This was seriously hours of nothing but talking and teasing.
Also, what the heck was with William's voice? What was that? Is he 90?

No point
