Noah and Tobias come back from Paris with a renewed contract and a deeper personal bond. Too bad things don't go as smoothly at home. When they get back, they face a crisis that might just threaten their contract, and their personal intimacy. The crisis has a ripple effect, but Tobias and Noah finally learn that they can evolve with it, instead of collapsing. They experiment with scene after scene, making them longer, deeper, which allows them to explore more than they've ever dared. They even explore moving in together. When Noah is forced to face the danger of his job, he starts to question why he became a cop. Tobias is also questioning his job. Soon enough, their external life is changing enough that they're forced to lean on each other to sustain them. Can they achieve a comfortable balance between their outside life, their scenes, and their love? Noah and Tobias, along with their friends, appear in Deviations: Submissions, Deviations: Domination, and Deviations: Discipline.… (mais)

I don't think that I have ever been as sorry to see a series end as I am this one. Glad that I bought all the books so I can visit Tobias, Noah and even Phan again whenever I want. I wasn't happy to have had Phan become a part of Tobias and Noah's relationship but was glad to see that he didn't divide them but actually was a good part of blending them together more. Tobias had never stopped loving Phan and Noah was crazy about him. Phan did totally understand and respect his place. Lots of changes happened for the guys...all really good ones. I was proud of how Noah handled Phan's horrible parents and was also happy to see Bradford and Nicky becoming closer. Overall...it was the characters more than the lifestyle that made this series such as success for me and I was happy to see them get so much "more" with all the big changes in their lives. The wonderful characters and the intricate and detailed world/lifestyle make the whole series a joy to read...but be aware that it is not going to be something that will appeal to all readers. ( )

I want to scream at the moon : F&*K Phan!
But I still enjoyed the books once I got over my frustration on the whole TobiasXNoahXPhan thingy ( )

When I started this book I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this book as much as the first three. There were a lot of changes and I wasn't sure I was happy with them but I'm so glad I stuck with the book. i don't blame people for stopping if they are really hating the book but I'm to stubborn to give up most of the time. If you read it to the end all those changes come together and make perfect sense to the overall story that has been building through the three previous books.

As I read through the reviews I noticed that several people had problems with some of the same things that made me feel unsure and a bit shaky about reading the rest of the book. I wanted to address some of the issues either I had or I saw come up in other people's posts.

#1 Phan joining the household. At first I really thought no this is wrong its about Tobias and Noah Phan needed his own master but as you continued on through the story it came together and worked so well. Phan really needed a master who got him and had seen the good, the bad, and the angry. Noah was the one to initiate the idea. If Noah had been a weaker man it would have felt more like Tobias failing him or Phan pushing himself into the situation. But Noah and Phan had become friends. Noah loved his Master and settled into a secure relationship so the timing was right. If it had happened sooner it might not have worked but to the timing was good. They started out all together in a new space and it turned out to be such a beautiful thing. Also, I think the Phan of the first book would never had worked as a third in their household. He would have been too needy and would have stolen time that was Noah's. But Phan has grown so much between self retaliation, intervention, therapy, friendship with Noah, and seeing Tobias in a different frame of mind in his love for Noah. I think Phan is a much better man than he was and can see him being a good fit.

#2 Noah leaving his job. Some people felt this was like Noah selling out but I think there were hints that this might be coming because he enjoyed the aspects of helping and his volunteer counseling so much more. When he talked about his work day it was always things that showed the gentler/nurturing aspects of police work instead of the hard hitting crime stoppers stuff. Also if he had been perfectly happy and content in his job he wouldn't need the help to grounded and switch out of work mode in my humble opinion. I think working with Carol was a big part of what made the job work for him and without her all the joy of the job got sucked out of him. I still think he'll need to be useful and contribute to the whole but I think a good solid plan is in place and I can easily see him either taking over security at the club or going back to school and actually getting a degree to counsel full time.

#3 Someone commented on Tobias being topped by Noah as so out of character for them both. This one I disagree with. One it was clear from book one that sometimes Tobias needed to be pushed and dominated thus the scene with Bradford. There were hints and incidents all through the first three books. Noah was less comfortable at first with the idea but when he could put it in the context of serving his master by taking control he settled into the role quick nicely. Also, Noah being just a bit switching is probably part of the reason that adding a third especially someone somewhat needy worked out. It gave you an insight into why things didn't work out as well with Phan the first time completely aside from Phan growing need for pain at the time. And finally, this dynamic being so different gives Noah and Tobias something special to share that is just for them.

Such an odd book, extraordinarily detailed and hot BDSM scenes, and then endless and quite boring conversations about therapy and how they all feel about everything and mundane details. (for such thin and fit men they eat a lot pizza! and for such BDSM sluts, there is an awful lot of cuddling going on.) The sex is hot, hot, hot. And the BDSM lifestyle is meticulously described, and though I don't know firsthand, it feels true. But the book bogs down in the non sex scenes, and it's too smooth, they are all too nice and kind to each other, and face no real jealousy or issues (Tobias, the Dom is actually the only one to feel a bit left out of the threesome) But Phantom is so childlike and attention needing, it actually makes sense that he has to be part of a threesome to give him some balance, one person just couldn't take all his neediness.

Chris Owen is a good writer, and the scenes are intriguing, so it's worth buying this book, but there are characterization flaws and the book feels overwritten at times. I rate it a B+, a probable reread. It may not be one of my true favorites, but it's a full length dense book and worth the time and the money. ( )
