(More customer reviews)If you haven't had a chance to get this book, go buy it. Andrew McDiarmid does a wonderful job of grasping erotic mental imagery with heart squeezing love. I am sorry I didn't get a copy while I was at Smokeout.
The story that grabbed me the most was the nine chapters of "The Hunt". I am neither submissive nor dominate, but the love story behind it made me very emotional. Loving someone is not about how good a person looks or how much leather they wear. It's about who they are and what they are about. It's not about that quick rush of pleasure or 'getting off'. It's about getting to know someone for their hidden joys and things that make them cry. It's about touching ones heart strings in a way that their shear presence is undeniable. In the story, a leather daddy called Maximillian sees a young furry leather pup named Marcus on a subway train. Maximillian is called a brethren. Marcus is a someone who enjoys everything entailed in being a leather submissive. Maximillian is an older, in light terms, cigar smoking leather muscle daddy bear. Marcus is a fur covered 'pup' who does boot black at a bar in the Castro. Marcus is searching for that one daddy to take him as his own. I am not going to give away the meaning of what a 'Brethren' is because you really need to read the story and Andrew's book.
The story has 9 parts to it and, besides the obvious erotic content, has an underlying love story that I think we all want in our lives. I was in tears by the end of the story because I realized that the men I have dated never really took the time to get to know the real me. All they wanted to know was the sexual person that I am. They never got to know the true me. Maximillian courted, in terms, Marcus through a period of time. They both taught each other things only a difference in age could do. Marcus introduced Maximillian to new music and art, while Maximillian introduced Marcus to how he wanted to be serviced and he true life as a Brethren. Only till all truths came out could the two be bonded forever.
We all strive for love in our lives, but taking the time to do it is key. Being intimate with that one person is ok, but get to know them for who they are. You may be surprised.
Go buy the book and read the chapters of "The Hunt" and you will understand what I am talking about.
