Tied Down (Trophy Doms New York Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Kate Hawthorne (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 226 ratings
Ford is a player who loves a good game, and flirting with his best friend’s straight little brother is well within the rules of engagement. But finding out Boston isn’t so straight after all? There’s no playbook for that.

Ford – My best friends say I’m shameless, but I’m just out for a good time. Whether it’s one and done or a quick second round, I’m always ready for the next great adventure, as long as it doesn’t end in a relationship. So what if I’ve made a habit of sleeping with the people my friend Kale employs? It’s still all for the love of getting into bed, and if he thinks hiring his straight younger brother is going to make me change course, he’s in for a rude awakening.

But being propositioned by Boston Sheffield is a scenario I never imagined..

Boston – I know Ford doesn’t expect anything to come from our flirting. For him, it’s only done to irritate my brother, but for me…let’s just say his promises sound a little too good to ignore. Everyone thinks I’m straight, and for the longest time, so did I, but in Ford I see the perfect opportunity to explore another side of myself. Besides, who am I to say no when he smells so good and tastes even better?

For years I’ve been chasing after the feeling of home and, in Ford Carlisle, I’ve finally found it.

Even though it’s uncharted territory, Ford and I are secretly committed to each other. Sooner or later, we’ll need to take our relationship into the real world, but that also means coming clean with his friends and my brother. Ford has never wanted to be monogamous before, and Kale has his own ideas about what’s best for everyone. It’s up to me to make sure they know that Ford and I are not tied down—that together we’re finally free.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Intense, emotional ride
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2024
    TIED DOWN was just as much of an emotional rush as ALL IN, with characters who have different needs, dreams, and kinks, but the same encompassing passion for each other that had me at times swooning while at others, daydreaming of some of their moments together.

    Ford brings a nearly insatiable *hunger* to this relationship, a desire to feed, to own, to claim, intensified by the overwhelming feelings he's DREAMT of having but never experienced before to the point he hardly knows what to do with himself.
    Meanwhile, Boston is perfectly happy being consumed, finding himself irreparably hooked into a relationship he's never experienced before but finding it's more than he's ever had before.
    They're both so instantly needy for each other after knowing one another for years and never crossing beyond the bounds of harmless flirting that they don't want to take their hands off each other, yet are terrified of pushing one another to far too fast and chance losing each other. It's such a needy, delicious dance as they work through new experiences and all of the wild, nearly uncontrollable things they're feeling, and, gosh, was it freaking GOOD.

    The writing in this is so good too, so easy to read, I found chapters falling away at times while the clock ticked by, and I didn't even notice. My only complaint is that things, thoughts, sentiments, are sometimes unnecessarily repeated several times throughout. But on the whole, this was effortless, absorbing writing that carried me away and delivered beautiful characters and a gorgeously charged romance.

    Long story short, I love everything about these characters and the conclusions they found. I'm so excited to dive into the next book, CRIED OUT, featuring the next of this merry band of kinky gentlemen. Meanwhile, some of the scenes in this book will live with me for a WHILE (forever?), and I can't recommend it enough to anyone who likes a bit of a secret relationship with a gay-for-you storyline and an adorable pair of can't-keep-my-hands-off-of-you duo of main characters.

    Every time I read one of Kate’s books, I always say “this is my new favorite” and honestly it’s always true because she just gets better and better!! However, I love this one so much!! Ford is a playboy with a secret soft romantic side and somehow the shy, straight boy,Boston, is the one who finally cracks that playboy exterior and I was sooooooo here for it!! I absolutely LOVED Ford and all the ways he loved to take care of Boston. These two were perfection!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hawthorne's characters are always full of surprises
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2024
    Though Hawthorne hits some of the more generic queer romance tropes in this book, such as best friend's brother and bi-awakening, she always put her unique spin on them. Ford won me over by being unapologetic about who he is (and not liking whiskey) while still trying to do the right thing. Boston wins overall, however, for being honest about what he wants in the first place. Their ending up together is a sweet, sexy ride from the first delightful moment that Boston flirts back, though this book is a much more subtle depiction of D/s than others set in this world. The power exchange is based on the heroes' personalities and character development rather than the trappings of kink, with the dating, quiet moments, and actual sex as swoony as it is spicy. Hawthorne also tweaks the angst expected from the previously mentioned tropes by tying it more into the individual characters (and I adored the arc represented by Boston's twin). The most heartwrenching elements of this book are Ford's acknowledgment of how much he wants with Boston and his willingness to accept the pain of their inevitable end. Luckily, Boston is full of surprises from page 1, willing to forge his own path toward happiness, and his influence makes the eventual resolution feel like the best sort of warm hug.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Always eat your veggies. Except kale. 😏
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2024
    This is one of those books that just worked for me. I really like characters that seem to be morally corrupt and gray but have this hidden cinnamon roll core. Ford is definitely that sort of character. And it's clear that he's smitten with Boston, despite his notorious Playboy ways.

    It's human nature to want the things we've been told we can't have, and it seems Ford is just as susceptible as any mere mortal.

    Boston, despite seeming like a cinnamon roll actually pulls a bit of a whammy on him.

    Definitely pick this one up if you just want something that's super sweet and feel good.

    Personally, I'd love to give this more than five stars. This is my favorite kind of comfort read. It's one of those books where, if you're in a bad mood, the characters just make you turn into much calmer goo.

    This is probably also a good starting point if you're branching out from more vanilla romance. It's a lovely beginners point. Exhibitionism is about as intense as it goes.

    This is my favorite recent Kate Hawthorne book couple!

    5/5
