Lie Perdue and Lock ‘n’ Load by Sihaya Black (NC-17)
A standard convention of “Sentinel” fiction is that Jim is rigidly set in his ways; that because Blair is the anthropologist, he’s the “I’ll try anything once” guy. Not Jim. Never Jim. So it stands to reason that if anyone went for a walk on the wild side and was found tied up in bondage gear and abandoned in a hotel room, it would be Blair, right? Right?

Why this must be read:
In “Lie Perdu,” Blair receives a call one night from an unknown man who says: "Listen to me carefully. Ellison needs you. Badly. He's in Suite 601 of the Cascade Hilton. The door's unlocked. Get there quickly, and for god's sake, go alone."
With an opening like that, anything could have happened. Blair rushes out into the night, not knowing if he’s headed into a trap, and ends up helping Jim out of a very compromising position. What follows is a steamy premise, leading to masturbatory fantasies, and finally to more blisteringly hot sex. And there’s even more of the hot and steamy in its sequel, “Lock ‘n’ Load.”
Not only is this a scorcher of a story, but it’s a wholly believable one, as well. Jim’s mortification at Blair’s having to rescue him from the situation he’s placed himself in is sharp and totally in character. And Blair walks a very fine line which demarcates friendship and what’s above and beyond the call of duty. Sihaya Black’s a talented writer with a knack for characterizations that are right on the money. On top of that, she totally gets that it’s not about subs and doms, but that it’s about trust.
Oh, and the sex is hot. Did I mention it’s hot? *fans self*
