Why this must be read:
Rebecca is another of my favorite authors - her descriptions are vivid, her plots well thought out and her characterizations spot on - even when she's taking the characters in directions you'd have never thought them going. Her sex scenes are always intense, and she's willing to take chances that others won't. Her Dom/sub scenes always send a chill up my spine - she knows what she's talking about, and it shows.
The Travel Series is an excellent example of her work. In three stories Rebecca runs the gamut from anonymous sex - harsh and frightening and bordering on non-con, to extremely hot but mostly vanilla sex, to a Dom/sub scene that sends shivers up my spine - all taking place in just about 24 hours time. I love it when she does that.
Tony's taking risks he should never even consider - anonymous sex in the back rooms of sleazy gay bars - but what he doesn't know is that Gibbs knows what he's doing, and he's decided he's not going to sit back and watch Tony destroy himself anymore.
"You shouldn't go wandering in dark alleys at one in the morning, Tony," he gets chided. "You never know what you'll find."
"I'd say it's more like what found me," he counters, his mind whirring. He hasn't heard or felt a weapon yet, and his federal ID wasn't in his pocket, which means the guy doesn't know he's a cop. He might get out of this after all.
But as if reading his mind, something nudges him in the small of his back. He knows the feel of a gun too well to imagine it's anything else. Shit.
"I saw you leaving Lime. You hit the gay clubs often, Tony?"
He closes his eyes. Great. He's being held up by a gay mugger, and one who doesn't seem inclined to take the money and run. This...this does not bode well. A shiver of fear runs down his spine, ice in the pit of his stomach.
"Look, man, just take my cash, okay? You want the watch? Tag-Heuer, even. It's yours. And then we'll go our merry ways and everything'll be cool. Okay?"
"Nope. Not really."
The ice in his stomach grows. Kate's never going to let me live this down, he thinks in a moment of macabre humor.
Assuming he survives.
