Blurb

Adrian DeSoto spent most of his time in high school being bullied and beaten up, simply because he was perceived as gay. Always slight, effeminate, he was the perfect victim for guys like Martin Cavanaugh, one of the high school jocks. When it all got too much, Adrian was faced with two options, one more devastating than the other. Eleventh grade saw a new Adrian, one who hid his fears and pain behind a mask in a bid to survive.


Eleven years later, and Adrienne is one of the top drag acts in Orlando. She's fierce, funny, and exuberant. A face from the past gives her a shock, and after that there's only one thing on her mind - revenge.


Marty Cavanaugh has a particular kink. He loves it when a drag queen goes down on him. But that's as far as it goes. He won't admit to himself what's under that tight fitting dress. And then he meets Adrienne and his whole world goes into a tailspin...


Warning - Contains men in drag, honey! You have been warned.



Reviewer: Shee Reader


First, I’ve got to say I am so glad I got to review this audiobook. Joel Leslie does such a wonderful job with his performance that it was like watching a movie as the story unfolded in my head!

The blurb was perfect, and gave the reader just a taster of what to expect.

Marty Cavanaugh has a particular kink. He loves it when a drag queen goes down on him. But that’s as far as it goes. He won’t admit to himself what’s under that tight fitting dress. And then he meets Adrienne and his whole world goes into a tailspin….

I liked that Adrian had a friend from High school (Rick) and I’d love to see his story, since Rick was in love with his straight best friend in high school, but they were a couple in the story as we catch up with Adrienne in adulthood!

Marty is an unhappy man, lonely and closeted, and in no way prepared for the tornado that is Adrienne. I absolutely loved Joel’s characterisation of the queens, he was wonderful and the beauty of the story as we see Adrian and Marty get reacquainted, seek forgiveness from each other and develop a loving relationships just perfect. Marty’s mom is an interesting character too, and the ‘coming out’ scene with her and Marty’s (horrific) father is totally charming and emotional.

The journey our lovely men go on was realistic and emotive. The way Marty grew to love and appreciate both incarnations of Adrian was superb.

Highly recommended beautiful book, given the perfect performance by one of my favourite narrators!

I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Author Bio


Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….


K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.


And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer….


K.C. loves to hear from readers.
