Review: Expensive by Amy Bellows
SYNOPSIS:
All ice dragon shifters have a fated mate. But Andrew was never allowed to find his. At eighteen, he was forced to bond with a rich seventy-year-old man.
Now that man is dead and Andrew is unable to bond to anyone else. He’s never felt so alone.
Timber has worked as a professional Daddy Dom for over ten years when his agent comes to him with an unusual proposition. An omega from New York needs a hired knot, and he’s willing to pay an exorbitant sum. The contract comes with a picture of a beautiful man and a list of demands that are so in line with Timber’s personal interests, it’s uncanny.
At the end of the list is a nervous request:
“I’d like you to call me ‘baby boy.’ If you wouldn’t mind.”
Timber can’t refuse a request like that.
REVIEW:
A quick, enjoyable read from Amy Bellows. I was looking for a palette cleanser book and this did the trick. I have been on a contemporary kick and wanted to change it up. I love interspecies shifter books and this was a refreshing change of pace.
The story was sprinkled with dramatics but at the end of the day, Timber and Andrew had undeniable chemistry and love won out. This couple truly went through the trials and tribulations, sacrifice after sacrifice was made. I loved the pacing of the book, it was fast enough that I never knew how things were going to play out but slow enough to give Andrew and Timber time to further develop and nurture their budding relationship.
Does their relationship happen fast? Yes, but I am going to attribute that to the whole fated-mates thing. I usually am not one for BDSM play in books but Amy did it right here. It wasn’t just a kink to add some spice to the book but an extension of the characters. I enjoyed this quick little read and I think my biggest complaint is that the story ended up a little abrupt for me. Let me see this characters who worked so hard for their HEA enjoy a little bit of bliss before ending it.
