Sid.
Drummer for The Underdogs. Secretly yearning for pain and submission.
Asher. aka. Stan.
Stalker. More than meets the eye. It’s hard to find good hookups while on tour.
Sid wants pain, humiliation, and the kind of sex that isn’t easy to get from one-night stands. So, for now, he’s given up, settled for an online Dom to get his rocks off, and focused on his band instead. The Underdogs are getting increasingly popular, but there is one fan who has followed Sid since before he even joined the band, and he’s driving Sid mad! Rich, spoiled hipster brat looking for the bad-boy experience. If he knew what Sid was really into, he would run for the hills.
Asher is convinced that Sid is the One - his one true love - his endgame. Years ago, Asher lost his virginity to Sid, and from that moment on, he knew it was meant to be. They had a spark, that honest connection that couldn’t be faked. The members of Sid’s band call him a stalker, but all he wants is to offer Sid his love. When Sid finally chokes out what he wants, Asher is more than ready to unleash it on him. But, the last time Sid was out as gay and submissive, he got badly burnt when his former band kicked him out, and the doors to many opportunities slammed in his face. Asher wants the whole world to know that he’s dating Sid. Problem is, Sid would much rather keep the relationship as pain-with-benefits.

©2018 K. A. Merikan (P)2022 K. A. MerikanI actually loved Asher and feel like the "Stan" and stalker storyline/comments were incorrect. I don't really feel like he was ever a stalker. He was infatuated but still lived a somewhat normal like and "saw" others while "following" Sid. I didn't like the Stan comments and felt they were in bad taste when all he wanted was a second chance with someone he could be himself with.
Now Sid has had a hard life and I really enjoyed the way he was approached. He's prickly, guarded and short tempered but he does all this to protect himself and his desires. I like the way he was built up and slowly broken down by Asher as they "fall in love". My heart did break for Asher at Sid's constant rejection, before, and during their relationship. There were moments where I felt Sid was being selfish or dismissive of Asher and his feelings. He adapted his life for Sid because he cared so much and sometimes Sid needed to be nicer but in the end Sid finally frees himself and can be honest, caring and loving to Asher the way they both deserve!!!
Totally kinky but so good!

The writing style is easy-going and the story is pleasant to read.
The story is very intense. I like BDSM books, but this is one of the more violent ones in my eyes because Sid is into pain and humiliation.
I loved Asher from the beginning. He is referred to as a stalker, which I didn't really feel that way. Asher is into Sid and wants a second chance. And the more I learned about Asher, the more I was moved by his fate.
Sid has had a troubled past and is reserved, but he flares up quickly and is prickly.
I liked how the two grew closer and fell in love. In the relationship, Sid is sometimes very dismissive of Asher. Asher doesn't deserve that at all in my eyes and it had to be a drastic experience before Sid changed.
I liked the setting and the family events in Sid's life were interesting. The story is good, but pretty kinky.
The audiobook was narrated by Tyler Kent and he did a good job. I liked how he gave the characters each an appropriate voice and brought the story to life. I look forward to listen to more audiobooks read by Tyler Kent.
I requested a free copy of the audiobook and this is my honest opinion that I am volunteering
Interesting story

The main characters were loveable but not without their flaws due to their trajic pasts. They had great chemistry. This was very hardcore kinky (vanilla people abort mission. This includes knife/blood play) and very steamy but also angsty at times and very sweet at times too. Who would have thought having a stalker would be so romantic in the end.
The side characters were all great too and there was great world building. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series and seeing more from the other band members
Overall, this was a wonderful addition to this series and I absolutely would recommend it to anyone into hardcore kink. I'm not sure if I liked this one or book 1 more.
The narrator did a really good job. He had a pleasant reading voice. He kept a good pace, though I kept mine at 1.50 and he was age appropriate. He expressed the emotions really well and brought the story to life. He didn't differentiate the 2 main character voices enough that I noticed but It was a very enjoyable listening experience overall. He did do some side characters voices. I think his performance on book 1 was better but that's just my opinion.
Great story and narration
