4.5 out of 5 stars 81 ratings

Shane O’Rourke screws up. He has the best intentions, but doesn’t always think things through. He means well, really he does. Shane gives up his old habits of stealing, lying, and using drugs, but he isn’t the perfect sub. He has some slip-ups here and there. He loves his Dom and desires to please him in every way.

Shane wants to be honest, but when he finds himself in a big mess, he would do anything to not disappoint his Dom. He fears losing Julien’s love and care. One mess leads Shane into another. And this one threatens more than just his contract.

Julien Callier needs to get Shane under control. When Julien thinks his sub has cheated on him, he doubts his ability to meet Shane's needs. Shane would be devastated if he lost his collar and Julien’s love. Shane’s sole purpose is to convince his Dom he is worthy of wearing his collar.

Can their D/s relationship and their love stand up to Shane’s mess ups and Julien’s loss of trust in his sub?

About Brina Brady

From the streets of Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, where I ruled as the eldest of five siblings, my life’s journey has been an adventure. After marrying my partner, we started a family and welcomed three amazing daughters into our lives. In 1973, the waves called, and we answered—moving to the sun-kissed beaches of sunny Huntington Beach, California. It was a dream come true.

Later, I married my loving second husband, and when family called, we packed up and headed to Indiana. Retirement opened a new chapter for me, filled with the laughter of my four adorable grandchildren and the company of two sweet cats. It’s a life full of love and completed goals.

For twenty-seven years, I taught at a Continuation High School in Los Angeles, California, where I shared my passion for learning with my students. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in History, a Secondary Social Science Credential, and a master’s degree in Secondary Reading and Secondary Education from California State University, Long Beach. I also took creative writing classes at UCLA, which helped fuel my love for storytelling.

Speaking of storytelling, I’ve been hooked on it since I was a kid. As a child, I’d spend Saturday afternoons writing novels while sipping on my grandmother’s homemade, comforting chicken soup. Even as a busy stay-at-home mom, I made time to write every day—it was my escape and my joy. Later, while teaching, I kept writing, though the demands of the classroom meant I had less time to devote to it.

Today, I’m a contemporary romance author who loves writing LGBTQ+ stories. My books often explore complex relationships and emotional journeys, with several series diving into BDSM dynamics. I also write MM romance without BDSM themes, focusing on engaging plots, well-developed characters, and plenty of steamy moments.

When I’m not writing, I’m indulging in my other passions. I’m an avid reader, always getting lost in new worlds and characters. I also love graphic design, where I get to blend art and technology to create something beautiful. And when it’s time to relax, I’m hooked on Turkish TV series—their rich stories and cultural depth totally captivate me. Each of my hobbies reflects my love of creativity, storytelling, and exploring new horizons.

    "Don't throw me away," Shane whispered, to himself.

    I love it when the second book in a series is as good if not better than the first. For me, this was even better than Bend Over.

    We pick up shortly after where book one left off. I loved Julien in this book! It's funny, I didn't like him at all in the beginning of book one. Now, he's my favorite character. I loved seeing him grow in this one. He figured out his mistakes and set out to correct them. His love for Shane is obvious. He wants to take care of him in every way, but is also understanding Shane is young and will make mistakes.

    Young Shane gets himself in trouble again. Afraid of Julien finding out, he makes matters worse for himself in a big way. It's easy to get frustrated with him but then I remember he's only 19 years old. He wants so much to be good for Julien. He wants to please him, make him happy and be the best sub Julien could ask for. Julien gives him everything he needs. He is helping him learn to deal with his problems the right way and not with drugs. He pays for his college and lets him work at one of his clubs to be independent and earn some of his own money.
    But as usual, something always seems to get in the way of their progress. This time besides the lies and rule breaking, it's a couple of different people trying to ruin their relationship.

    These two are really good together and for each other. Neither is perfect, both make mistakes. But they belong together and you can't help but root for them.

    The author gives us an awesome story line with many obstacles in their journey toward their HEA.

    Just the right amount of angst, lots of exciting twists & turns, and hot lovin'.
    Also met some new characters in this one. And I'm excited to learn more about them.
    Can't wait for the next book! 5 stars

    Ok I'm glad I waited to read this until book three.
    Shane is yet again in trouble and who knows how to fix it. Can't wait to read the next one.

    This book is a rollercoaster ride in the best way! I don’t like books that are all tied up in a pretty bow and the walk off hand in hand. I want a book that has love that they have to fight for! Want more than anything in the world!!

    Shane as we know screws up but always has the best intentions but doesn’t always think things through. He meads well really he does. Julian needs to find a way to get him under control which is a big feat in itself.

    What happens when the Dom thinks his Sub has cheated on him? What happens when the Dom wants Shane’s collar back? Will Shane ever convince his Dom he is Worthy?

    I can tell you it’s not going to be easy. This is an amazing book by and awesome Author!! May I please have the next one now???

    Wow. Just Wow. I adore Julien. He is everything a Dom should be; loving, kind yet firm, patient yet doesn't compromise. With Julien around, every boundary is clear which is great because Shane needs all that and a bit more with his youthful flighty ways. This couple is perfect for each other. They both make a complete picture...like a jigsaw puzzle. Alone, they are in a way incomplete. Yes, they function but not thrive. The story is more than a sizzling hot erotica. It is dramatic, loving, romantic and there is enough intrigue to keep anyone reading.
    I love the dynamics between Julien and Shane. Everything about these two is congruent to me. I felt a little tearful during their Sub/Dom ceremony...really it felt like they were marrying.
    A beautiful story. Thank you Brina for writing it.

    This is the second book in the Bend over series. Shane has returned to California and is living with Julian again. Things are going good for the two of them. Shane is about to receive his collar and belong to Julian for good. There is nothing that Shane wants more than to be owned by Julian. But it seems not everyone wants Shane to be Julian’s sub.

    Shane has started to mature some, he no longer steals or does drugs. He is determined to be the best he can for Julian. But when Shane makes a bad choice things just keep going down hill from there. Will Shane be able to keep his collar? Will Julian believe Shane if not can he learn to trust Shane again?

    I really enjoyed the continuation of the story from book one. The Author did a great job with Don’t Throw Me Away. Her writing style is unique from other BDSM books which keeps you hooked. The story flows great. I was able to connect even more with the characters in this book than the first. She takes you on an emotional roller coaster in the reading process. One minute I’m loving their playful banter and the next my heart is breaking for the two of them. I can’t wait to see how Julian and Shane’s journey continues in the next book.

    If you have read Bend Over book one in the series then you definitely want to read Don’t throw Me Away by Brina Brady.

    A complimentary copy was given by the Author in exchange for an honest review.

    All Shane wants in life is to be loved by Julian, his Dom and wear his collar proudly. But Shane still struggles with his past, he still gets himself involved in the wrong situations that break the Sub rules he is to follow. More conflict with Julian, more heartbreak. Can Shane pull himself together, Will Julian be there to pick up the pieces, once again. The sex is hot and the love for each other is stronger than ever. Read this series to see the ups and downs of this love affair between these two men! It's is an awesome read! Great Series Brina Brady!

    I loved reading the progression of Julian and Shane's relationship. Trial and error, Shane does his best, but he is with lots of doubt and that leaves him to make not so smart decisions. I appreciated Julian not being shown flawless, and that he can recognize his mistakes. I despise Joe and I'm not fond if Dario. I do love Shane though and hope they can work through all the bad stuff. They are so worth it, and the bdsm component is spot on!!! Well done Brina!!

    This book deserves 10 stars plus, Brina has taken the the story of Julian and Shane to the moon and back and than some. The story continues with Julian collaring Shane in their ceremony. But Shane as Shane does gets into trouble with a fellow sub..With other trouble brewing around them not all goes well the further you read. I cant rate this highly enough, its a MUST read. I'm looking forward to book 3..

    Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2015
    Please note that this story is about a Dom and his Sub if this bothers you don’t read it but you have no idea what you would be missing also this is about a black man and his lover just happens to be his own white angle. If this is an issue for you; well you have been warned. Best books I’ve read in one day.
    For some this might be an issue this story is about a Black man/Dom who happens to fall head over heels for a white angle. Julien and Shane’s story is unbelievable and heart breaking and heart warming.

    What can one say about Brina Brady’s Bent over series other than freaking brilliant and fantastic.
    This is about a boy and his Dom. A Dom who would do anything to keep his boy/sub to himself so that no others can have him.
    Shane is a long way from home with no one to care or help him. He happens to set his eyes on a beautiful black man. For some would say Shane is almost like white trash but there is something in him that Julien his Dom just can’t get enough of.
    Shane has a history and a hard time staying away from drugs and lying. One can hope that his love and trust in his Dom can help he overcome all his fears and hopefully open up and be one with Julien.
    This is a must read and I can’t wait for book 3 to continue their story of love, hate, trust, loyalty, obedience, self hate and discuss. Can love heal old wounds or will his life be shattered again by ones he loves and trusts.

    Wow !!! This is one book you won't want to put down and certainly won't want to "Throw Away" !!
    I read this in one day and absolutely loved it !!!
    Shane and Julien are still stubborn and Shane's defiance is still causing problems, but, add in a few people also throwing accusations around about Shane and Shane's fears of not being able to be everything Julien needs him to be and it leads to an emotional and angsty read.
    FANTASTIC !!
