Complete trilogy means i suspect there won't be a next book so sadly this is likely to be the last i hear of my 2 favourite D/s characters.
These books are highly recommended for those like me who see the beauty of a D/s relationship, who see it not as a fetish but as a way of being, who are interested in the dynamics of it, more than whips and chains.
The books are also available in Kindle edition.
Here's a review of the book written by Michele L Montgomery:
When I first came across this book, "Puppy Love," I had no idea what I was in for. I like to read stories that don't follow the "norm" of what people say I should be reading. I like to test the boundaries and explore. Wow, I was glad when my eyes caught this book. It's a story about 19 yr. old Petey Drinkel and his coming to terms with his sexuality while also trying to understand his inner needs to submit to others in his life. He meets the love of his young life, Matt Porter, who not only takes the role to protect the smaller boy from bullies but also teaches him, as well as himself, what the power of love is, what the power of a D/S relationship is about and how to be comfy in his own skin.
This is not your typical D/S book by any means, it does not come with chains, gags, leather and the like. To me it's as if the reader learns what the D/S dynamic is through Petey. He explains in detail his feelings, why he feels he is so submissive, and how he sees his "doms" role to him.
Petey has a very energetic outgoing personality among his friends, you can just feel the love in that boy. However, around outsiders, he's quiet, shy and so innocent you just want to be with him to keep others from hurting him. You'll be sure to cry with him, laugh with him and want to hug him as he discovers who he is and what it is to answer his true calling to be a submissive in a gay relationship to a very hot Matt, his master.
There's a lot of emotion here, and at times I found myself angry with the author for putting that boy in the situations he did, but it's a story, and without those scenes, there would be no story. Or, there wouldn't be a story as wonderful as this one...I wish it didn't end. I want more of PL and Petey and Matt....
Puppy LoveMatt is everything that Petey is not. He is self-confident and brave. Matt is tall and masculine and athletic. He is a natural-born leader. Puppy Love is their love story, their romance. It is both a coming-of-age and coming-out story, but sexual orientation is not the primary focus. Petey struggles with his identity both as a homosexual and as a submissive. What do you do when you love someone who is truly superior to yourself in every meaningful way? How do you feel, and what if these feelings are not what everyone tells you you're supposed to feel? We are taught that every individual is equal, but what if you know, through experience, that this is not the case? What if, in a society in which everyone is supposed to be a leader, you discover that your passion, your destiny, is to submit? In Puppy Love, Petey Drinkell discovers the true nature of power, its role in sexual relationships, and his own role in the power structure. Puppy Love is perhaps the world's first gay BDSM coming-of-age novel. This erotic epic is more than classic erotica; it also challenges the fundamental assumptions we make about human relationships and democracy.
Puppy Love 2 - Building a familyMatt and Petey are a young gay couple in love. They're a Dom/sub couple. They're an Owner and his pup. In Puppy Love 2, the couple begin to build a life together. The close knit relationship they share with another D/s couple, Alex and Drew, begins to flourish. The four find their lives interwoven with each other, and ultimately the foursome become a family. The tragedies and struggles they go through are remarkable, and the emergence of Petey's sociopathic nemesis Ryan Connors only heightens the drama. Will Matt and Petey's love for one another be strong enough to weather the storms they are forced to face? Will Matt revert to his selfish habits of infidelity and womanizing? Will he demonstrate the maturity that is required to be a responsible Master to his pup? Will Petey ever realize that he has genuine worth, and will he find the confidence within himself to be the hero he was born to be?
Puppy Love 3 - ReawakeningPuppy Love is the story of Matt and Petey. Not only do they identify as a Dominant-submissive gay couple, but they also defy many of the stereotypes of this type of relationship. They rarely dress in leather; they don't hang out at sex clubs, and they have little interest in many of the heavy BDSM sexual practices. There is no denying, however, that Matt is the Master and Petey is his pup. Reawakening, book three of the Puppy Love Trilogy, is the much-awaited conclusion to Matt and Petey's story. After the tragedies of book two, more agony and ecstasy await Matt and Petey-a shooting, an unexpected pregnancy, a big gay wedding, and tons of passionate, kinky sex scenes. Will they find their happily-ever-after ending together, or will Petey's reawakened independence lead him down another path entirely?
