An ancient burial urn, empty for millennia, is
suddenly not so empty.
When Detective Lieutenant Hunter Dane probes the murder at Natural History Museum, it's his own past that haunts him. To solve the complex case, Hunter needs the talents of Camden Snow, the brilliant, beautiful, “no limits” Dom who'd helped him unravel a very peculiar, and very personal, murder.
But now, Cam's ready to kill Hunt, himself! Their high-intensity D/s relationship that began in a playroom, ended in an emergency room.
Detective Dane is about to discover that history does, indeed, repeat itself. And his brain and body—humming with suspect information and sensual anticipation—want so much more than a killer behind bars.

Review
“His scene with Hunter was a partnership between a sub who
knew he could only reach his summit through surrender and a Dom who knew the
only path to the top.”
To
say this book starts with a bang would be a gross understatement. When the
first chapter ends on ‘I’m the man who killed your daughter’
you know you’re in for one hell of a ride.
Of
course, Dancing Men turning out to be a thrilling, heart stopping, and
unputdownable book didn’t come as a real surprise — after all, I read both Matchstick
Men and its prequel On His Knees not too long ago and
was mesmerized by both.
What
I love and admire most in these stories is the multiple layers in both Cam and
Hunter’s personalities and, as a result, their interactions. Cam may be the
badass, uncompromising, and all demanding Dom a lot of the time, when not in
Dom-mode he’s also a young man, still trying to find his way and not altogether
sure where he might be going.
Hunter
on the other hand is very much in control of his life and, apparently, his
emotions. When it comes to his job he is in full control of both himself and
those working with and under him. But, as controlling as he is, he has this
need to surrender…totally. Therefore submitting to Cam, who demands his all
from him, is exactly what Hunter needs.
“I am all Dom, he said. “When we’re together like this, I
expect you to trust me. To believe I know what you need. Want. And I’ll give it
to you.”
On
the surface this is a story containing two mysteries. There’s the ever more
confusing riddle as to what exactly is going on with the urns. And then there’s
Cam’s demand that Hunter figures out exactly what Cam’s story is. But, to me,
there was a third and maybe most intriguing conundrum; can two men who are
perfect together find the courage and trust to surrender to everything that
pulls them together, despite valid reasons to keep their distance, and doubts
about any possible future.
The
story gives us a heady combination of intrigue, mystery, emotion, and mind-blowing
(both for the characters and the reader) sex. As much as I wanted to speed read
my way through this story so that I’d know the answers to all the questions it
posed, I forced myself to take it slowly. I wanted to understand what was going
on, I needed to feel the emotional highs and lows, and more than anything else,
I wanted to get to know Hunter and Cam better.
You’ll
need to pay close attention while reading Dancing Men, especially when it
comes to the mystery of the urns which has its origins more than a century
before the present day, and involves quite a few players. I can only imagine
the amount of research that must have gone into this part of the story and I’m
more than impressed with how this mystery unfolded and both the answers and
outcome I encountered near the end.
As
for Cam’s secrets, they wrecked me. Initially I was heartbroken, unwilling to
believe what I’d read or that it could be true. But that was before I
recognised the beauty of this shocking revelation; accepting and learning to
live with it is the ultimate commitment both men can give to each other and as
such a glorious thing.
Finally
there’s the matter of Cam and Hunter needing to learn to trust both each other
and themselves. They are irresistibly drawn to each other, perfect together,
but is that enough to overcome Cam’s doubts about the future and Hunter’s
conviction that he’s incapable of relationships? Can Cam trust Hunter not to
walk away again and is Hunter brave enough to concede that staying with Cam
doesn’t mean giving up on himself?
Yes,
I’m fully aware I’m being horribly vague in the previous paragraphs, but
revealing any more detail would be cruel towards those who haven’t read this
book yet. The various journeys in this book should be enjoyed without
preconceptions or expectations.
It
has to be said, Hunter Dane and Cameron Snow have joined my short but exquisite
list of Doms and subs I adore. The dynamic between them is as exciting as it is
beautiful; perfection without abiding to any preconceived rules or
expectations. Yes, their sex scenes are hot and imaginative beyond words, but
it is so much more than that. BDSM is often more about the mind than the body
and these two men prove that time and again. They don’t follow any rules except
their own, make up their relationship to be what they both need and want and,
in the process become real, convincing me of their perfection together.
Long
story short: Dancing Men was everything I hoped it would be, and then some. I strongly recommend you read these books if you enjoy well written,
imaginative, and not for the faint of heart BDSM stories. You’ll love these
books if you like well plotted and intriguing mysteries. But, most of all, you’ll
lose yourself in this world if you are looking for a couple to infiltrate your
heart and take up residence there. I for one don’t think there will ever come a
time when I’m not ready for more Hunter and Cam. Consider me addicted.
Happy Birthday Cam!!!!!!!
