Young, directionless Casey Eller is the perfect bait for a trap Sheriff Kirkland's been laying for fifteen years. On Christmas Eve, he uses Casey to stage incriminating photos of the most powerful man in town, a brutal sadist who takes his pleasure from torturing his subs. A man whose cruelty has only grown since Kirkland subbed for him. When Casey ends up hurt, Kirkland realizes his mistake. Ashamed of himself, he treats Casey's injuries and offers the unconditional acceptance and devotion that a slave craves from his Master. Kirkland knows he can't give Casey a lifetime, but will two days be enough for either of them?

SPOILERS IN THE REVIEW YOU HAD BEEN WARNED. SKIP IF SPOILERS ARE NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO KNOW. I CANNOT TALK ABOUT WHY THIS BOOK ANNOYED ME SO WITHOUT MENTIONING THEM HERE UNFORTUNATELY.I dont mind flawed characters in my MM stories, I really dont. What I do mind is when it does not feel that author calls a spade a spade or a flaw a flaw and then we have a bizarre attempt to romanticise rapist, crooked law enforcement officer who would use and abuse a young man setting him up for another abuse because he needs to blackmail another so called bad guy. I said so called bad guy not because I thought he was a nice guy, but because Sheriff the law enforcement officer came of as much worse to me.
One would think that at least after what he does to the young man, there is some massive self examination involved and desire to become a better man, in other words after first two or three chapters one would expect a redemption story and some really good groveling.
But nope, our dear sheriff says he is sorry couple of times and I think it is one sentence, each time. Otherwise he still proceeds as if he knows better what Casey wants and needs. Run Casey run.
No such luck of course, in a few chapters Casey thinks that Sheriff is the best guy he ever met.
Now this was why the book annoyed me, the potrayal of BDSM was simply not to my taste. I did not get nearly enough Casey's POV to be convinced that thats what he really wants and more importantly enjoys. It is way too easy to portray BDSM as abuse and unless I can get that it gives both characters a joy, it skirts dangerously close to such portrayal to me.
One star for how much I enjoyed the book and I guess another one because it was written in coherent English.

Word on a Wing edition by Jamie Craig Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The strong point of the BDSM novels by Jaime Craig (the authors duo Pepper Espinoza and Vivien Dean) is the ability, at least for me, to make me comfortable with all the 24/7 Master/slave relationship.
The starting point is not exactly positive for Finn Kirkland, the sheriff of a small town in Georgia he charges young Casey with a crime he hadn't any intention to commit (intent to sell) and almost forces him to have sex in the open, alongside the highway, on the hood of his car. Doesn't matter that it's probably Casey's wet dream, doesn't matter that Casey enjoy every moment of it, it's wrong, so as it's wrong what Finn asks Casey to do afterward. Finn wants to find a way to blackmail the most powerful man in town, the same man who he knows is continuously breaking the law, but Finn has no way to stop him since Victor has something against Finn as well. Finn wants to play an equal match and to do so he needs Casey's help. Finn knows that it's dangerous, and actually he doesn't do anything to prevent Casey getting hurt, and this doesn't help the reader in liking him.
But actually, as soon as Casey does what Finn wants, and brings back what Finn needs, it doesn't seem important; Casey being hurt, Casey needing him seems the most important thing for Finn, and that makes him suddenly a more likeable character. True he treats Casey like a boy more than a man, setting a schedule for him, bathing and feeding him like he was a baby; Casey is not at the same level as Finn, but he is not exactly a slave. Maybe since he is hurt, and in this moment he needs more a caretaker than a Master, most of what Finn does is to pamper him like a baby more than treating him like a pet (even if having him eating dinner sitting upon a pillow on the floor still let me a bit perplexed).
There is for sure an age difference between Casey and Finn, Casey is 20 years old, and instead I think Finn is well over 30, probably bordering 40. But more a question of age, it's a question of attitude; for sure Casey lacked a fatherly figure when he was young, without a mother and with an abusive father, Casey didn't have any chance to grow in his possibility. He is not dumb, but he is unbalanced; he too easily resorts to alcohol and drugs to cushion his mind and not having to think. He has not stimuli to do something better with his life since he hadn't had a role figure and no prospective.
Being treated by Finn like a boy, allows Casey to go back a bit on his age and starting again to learn. Maybe in 5/10 years he will develop enough self-esteem to have the need to change the balance with Finn, but probably then something else would have developed between them, a same level relationship that will allow to Casey to decide, no more in a needy situation, what he really wants from his life.
Anyway from the starting point that was more a cop/thriller plot, the story developed in a very intimate tet-a-tet where only Casey and Finn count, and the world is outside there, not really something they need to bother until it's not strictly necessary.
