Review: Love is a Stranger by John Wiltshire
I couldn't give it more stars cause I didn't particularly enjoy the first 40%.
An ex-SAS soldier Ben Rider who, after 4 years of a friends-with-benefits, falls in love with his married boss Sir Nikolas Mikkelsen. Their relationship felt weird, unexplanable things happened and I kept wondering how it was possible for Ben to be so in love with Nik. Cause he sure was a stranger, how much did he really know him?
"I never really knew you, did I? So to me you are exactly the same enoying basterd you've always been."
But as the story went on, things got unraveled and nothing seemed to be way it looked like.
Ben and Nik's relationship is one of the most intense relationships I've ever read about. I'm not sure about Nik yet, but he's growing on me.....
He seemed to know that there was nothinig he could not do to the male body beneath him, that his male muscle wouldn't overpower, his male strength not threaten, his male force not penetrate too far or too hard.
In this, man upon man, he could release some pent-up fury that he otherwise kept contained, locked down, hidden.
Sometimes, when being taken this forcibly, this hard, Ben wondered whether he was the release-valve enabling Nikolas to bear the escape he had made to this narrower world.
I'm certain there will be far more secrets to be unraveled so for now I'm intrigued enough to continue this series.
