I was going to do a separate review for Lee’s entire line of Master Preston and Paulo’s stories and though they are short, there are several. I didn’t want to blow up any one’s email boxes so I’m going to give a brief run down of the series as I read them here. I’ll do them in order so you know where to start first and you’ll even find a few free reads here!
PRESTON is a lifestyle Dominant, recently retired from a career on stage at the exclusive club run by his mysterious best friend Tasim. When the series begins, he’s single and looking forward to a quieter life.
All that changes on the night of Preston’s last performance when PAULO, a complete novice, takes the place of Preston’s usual stage sub. By day Paulo does odd jobs and sings in the Sister City Gay Men’s Chorus. After that first night with Preston, however, he wants more. He wants everything.
Each story chronicles a new phase in Paulo and Preston’s relationship and features song lyrics mangled in deliciously naughty ways by Paulo.
As each of these stories are short, you’ll want to beg Torquere with me to release them all in one book. As an overall read, I’m giving the whole series a 5 kiss rating. Master Preston and his sub Paulo are two characters I can’t get enough of. Paulo is one adorable character, he has one of those personalities that can keep me laughing and happy. He’s not a weak man, not at all, what he is though is a very thoughtful fun and smart loving guy. The only man who can bring out the best in him, is his Master.
