Law has to go away for a week and returns to whisk Tom off to some place so they can have more sex. Tom is forced into the realization that he’s a sub/bottom. And Law follows Tom up to his apartment and, well, seduces him? That isn’t the right word but I’ll expand on that later. Tom decides that, yes, he’d like to go as last ‘fuck you’. Synopsis: Super rich guy Law shows up at Tom’s work to invite him to his cousin’s wedding… who was also Tom’s lover the previous year. Again, this is even more surprising when you consider that probably half of the four hour story is sex. And I’ve listened to the last half hour like… more than that because I find it really charming. Because I really have listened to it four (at least) times. American authors rarely consider how… disturbing it is to read about this kind of cold-blooded, murderous patriotism.Īnd yet… I obviously enjoyed the book. Indeed, if the blurb had mentioned this angle (which, tbh, isn’t essential to Law’s characterization), I probably would’ve skipped the book. Anyone who knows me knows that this sort of thing (along with gay cops) is my least favourite. This is especially true given that Law is a vet who is very quite happy about murdering people in Afghanistan in an unjustified war. Given what this book is, I wasn’t actually expecting to like it enough to listen to it like… four times already.
