There are not many books out there these days that can make you feel good. This book does that and much more. Peter and Wendy are an adorable couple. They are so in love and so comfortable with that love that they are not afraid to share their fantasies with each other. It is just that kind of sharing that brings Master Darling into their lives. Master Darling is more than ready to help them fulfill one of Wendy’s fantasies. Little do any of them know just how this will change all of their lives forever. I hate to gush but I loved everyone in this book. The three are beautiful together and they click right from the start. The love that Wendy and Peter share is strong and it is wonderful to see them want to share it with Master Darling. He is a strong man who has been hurt but when he sees the love and trust between Peter and Wendy he longs for something just like it. When the three come together there is more than just a spark that ignites between them, making this book one hot read.

The author does a great job of bringing these characters to life and the heat between them is so hot it is almost a tangible thing. I really liked that this book was a hot read that also made you believe in love.

Blurb:
Part of the 1-800-DOM-help series. Harte Donovan has a problem. A murder leads to him wanting a sexy stripper bound and naked in front of him. He can’t let his secret desires ruin his career as a detective. But when he’s given a mysterious business card, Harte discovers a side of himself he intends to fully embrace. Ramey Nichols strips for a living and he’s not willing to pretend to be something he’s not. When this sexy submissive meets the closeted cop and unwitting Dom, something has got to give. That something might just be Ramey. Ramey knows what he wants, and more than that, finds himself Needing Harte.

Review:
Needing Harte was just plain “Wow”. This story is a novella at only 83 pages, but boy, does it pack a punch. I don’t usually read stories in the m/m genre but decided to try this one and I can honestly say I am really glad that I did.

Harte knows very little about being a Dom or anything involved in the BDSM lifestyle, but Ramey picks up on Harte’s natural tendencies when they first meet. As Ramey and Harte start to explore, Harte feels like he’s found the missing piece of himself within his dominance.

Harte and Ramey burn up the pages of this story from page one. It is refreshing to see a story where the dominant is learning and the submissive is not constantly pushing the limits. I also really enjoyed the supporting characters and their assistance in keeping an uncollared sub safe and helping a new Dom learn the ropes. Marilu Mann’s writing style really set this story apart and I enjoyed the feelings and insight into this new relationship.
