Review: To Trust and To Touch by Vivi Anne Hunt
Genre: Erotic Romance
Contains mature language and scenes
Trigger warnings: Suicide, rape
To be fair, this is not my usual genre as I haven't read Romance in a very long time and have never previously read Erotic Romance. If a reader enjoys Erotic Romance, I believe they would like this book. Disclaimer: I received a free advance copy of this book.
The story arc flows well and the character development is good. As with any good story there was an identifiable plot, conflict, and resolution. I enjoyed getting to know Alex particularly. He is a chameleon, and Vivi Anne does a great job showing us the many sides of him.
There are some additional story lines that might have been slightly better developed, but I also understand the desire to focus on the main characters. Generally speaking, it was well written and well thought out.
About this book (from the publisher): Every Friday night, Alex goes to the infamous sex club, Kink World, to perform. He goes in, takes his money, and gets out. No complications and definitely no touching. It’s in the contract. Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned, and one night’s incident pushes him into a chance encounter with a man who is the very epitome of the word ‘safe.’
After years of focusing on being a single dad to his adorable baby daughter, Sigh is venturing out into the world of dating, starting at his brother’s club on Friday night. He’s not too excited about any of it until a chance encounter with a man covered with vine tattoos reminds him of the needs he has ignored for far too long.
Will Alex be able to let someone touch him? Will Sigh break through Alex’s defenses and learn what exactly happened to him? Will the two men be able to start again?
