Publisher's summary

18-year-old Scott Keating knows a whole world exists beyond his parents' strict control. But until he gains access to the World Wide Web, he really has no idea what's out there. In a chat room Scott meets "JeffUK". Jeff loves and understands him, and when he offers to bring Scott to the UK, Scott seizes his chance to escape his humdrum life and see the world. But when his plane touches down and Jeff isn't there, panic sets in.

Collars and Cuffs' favorite barman and dom-in-training, Ben Winters, drops his sister off at the airport and finds a lost, anxious Scott. Hearing Scott's story sets off alarm bells, along with his protective instincts. Taking pity on the naïve boy, Ben offers him a place to crash and invites him to Collars and Cuffs, hoping his bosses will know how to help. Scott dreams of belonging to someone, heart and soul. Ben longs for a sub of his own. And neither man sees what's right under his nose.

It takes a strong man to submit

Nick Russo's performance highlights this finely detailed story. The characters come alive in this realistic BDSM themed novel with 80% emotional / 20% sexual content, roughly speaking :-) I enjoyed seeing Ben and Scott mature by way of their "chance" relationship and — having spent some time as a sub myself — resonate with much of what was revealed. Good stuff!

Scott and Ben

Someone to Keep Me is book 3 in the Collars and Cuffs series. I love this book. Scott has been talking to Jeff online and when Jeff sends him a plane ticket to England to meet him, Scott jumps at the opportunity. He's 18 and can't wait to get away from his controlling parents. When Scott gets to England Jeff is nowhere to be found, but thankfully Ben had been there at the airport dropping off his sister. Ben rescues Scott and takes him under his wing. I love how the other subs befriend Scott and make him part of the family almost instantly. It's a bit of a rough road for Scott and Ben but they get their happy ending. If you enjoy D/s stories you don't want to miss this one or this series. Definitely recommend
Narrator Nick J. Russo does an absolutely amazing job in bringing these characters to life.

I felt so sorry for the submissive

What made the experience of listening to Someone to Keep Me the most enjoyable?

The fact that money was NOT the focus of the submissive.

What did you like best about this story?

The HEA ending

Have you listened to any of Nick J. Russo’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

voices are good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series

Any additional comments?

I love the way you get to check on the past characters and see how they are doing!

i love this book but...

the voice for Ben and Scott was rather fitting... however.. for a book based in England only 2 characters (Ben and Peter) had non-American accents... and the one that really threw me was Master Thomas... why did he sound like Kermit rhe Frog??? it was jarring when he'd go to speak and I'd mentally link him with Miss Piggy instead of Peter!!

awesome

the couple Ben and Scott went through a lot of hard times but when they came together it was pure love. it was an awesome book love the series can't wait for more.

Good, but not my favorite in the series

This series is pretty great, but I felt that in this particular book this plot was really weak in places. The characters were well developed as always, bringing the story to life. However I had problems in certain huge climaxes (the plot kind, not the kinky kind) throughout the book. Don’t want to say which spots because that would be a spoiler. Also, regarding the audiobook, I have a hard time with this narrator’s choice of voice for Thomas- a supposedly mid-50’s master dom who ends up sounding kind of like a muppet. He has difficulty with accents in general, so the story sounds like a bunch of Americans living in Manchester. This is not what a reader pictures in their head from this series.

BDSM Tutorial

Someone To Keep Me (Collars and Cuffs #3) by K.C. Wells & Parker Williams is a nice addition to the Collars and Cuffs series. Sometimes I get the feeling I'm being instructed in BDSM in this series but then the authors quickly snap back into the relationship building. Great characters feel like family, and while Ben took awhile to win me over, in the end everything was beautiful.

a bit too whiny

I was a little bit disappointed in the story it seemed like they were both too whiny. didn't feel like the charters were thought all the way out nor the plot

Stunning

Love this series. This is book three and was a great addition to this amazing series. This story is about Scott and Ben and was so good. Ben is a Dom and he needs a sub and Scott just wants to belong and be loved by someone. This two are perfect together. Loved there story can’t wait for more. The narration was great.

Another good addition to the series

Someone To Keep Me is a bit different than the first two books. Scott is so young. He 18 and very sheltered, insecure and I had to say needy. Ben struggles with what he wants in regards to Scott. He sees his lack of financial security as him being a lackluster Dom. I enjoyed the training scenes and seeing Scott’s jealousy. The birthday scene is probably one of my favorites in the series. Nick did a good job with the narration, although I’m not a fan of his voice for Ben...Scott was perfectly voiced though.
