Rough Road by Vanessa North
M/M BDSM romance
4/5 stars
Blurb
Eddie Russell is many things: A wealthy pillar of the community. An outrageous flirt. A doting best friend. A masochist with a kink for brawling with his bedmates. But he is definitely not a man who invites intimacy. His friends are close but few, his lovers rarer still.
When Eddie runs his Mercedes off the road on a hot July afternoon, Wish Carver comes to his aid—and leaves his number in Eddie’s phone. Wish, a road crew worker half Eddie’s age and sexy as sin, seems fascinated by Eddie’s different sides. Mutual attraction and compatible kinks ignite the sheets, but it’s their connection outside the bedroom that Eddie begins to crave.
When the two come down on opposite sides of a local issue, Eddie finds his growing feelings for Wish at odds with his business interests and his devotion to his best friend, local wakeboarding legend Ben Warren. Torn between old loyalties and his new love, Eddie is reluctant to make a choice. But he knows he can’t make Wish wait too long to make up his mind.

Review
Eddie is rich, rather flamboyant and an incorrigible flirt. When he has a car accident he meets road worker Wish, and there is obviously great chemistry between them. However there is also a big age gap, which is a big problem for Eddie. When then do fall into bed together things are explosive, with Wish providing Eddie with the pain he craves. But when Eddie and Wish are on opposite sides of a local planning issue things start to fall apart.
I loved both Wish and Eddie, they are both totally adorable and they are so good together. I really enjoyed their story, it was fun, sexy and a bit addictive. Four stars.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
