Scarred both physically and emotionally after a motorcycle accident, twenty-five year old ex fashion model and porn star Oliver Brown is about to be stripped bare by flamboyant twink Leslie Scott—and they’ll rebuild love from the bottom up.
BARING THE BEAST
Twenty-five year old Oliver Brown is addicted. Two years ago, he was at the height of his career as “Nikki Star,” fashion model, porn actor, partier without peer. Then came the accident. Hiding his scars, both emotional and physical, he’s gone into hiding. But fine clothing is some solace. A new suit by Debussy? Better even than a ride on his motorcycle Hulk or all the things he used to give and take on camera.
Enter Leslie Scott, the flamboyant, dark-haired, heel-and-tiny-short-wearing twink sent to deliver Oliver’s newest fix. A firecracker, Leslie is dapper, generous, in touch with his feminine side but all man, and as gorgeous as any garment ever made. He makes Oliver dream of ending his reclusion, of recapturing a future forever denied him. But for that to happen, Leslie would have to strip him to the bone. Only then will they rebuild life from the bottom up.
Leslie
In the first two books in the series we met this corset and heel wearing beautiful man. He's like a mama bear with his friends, has a huge heart and a kick ass wardrobe!
"beauty, grace, and a warm-hearted beautiful soul."
He also has a hilarious sense of humor and is a bit of a nervous talker!
His antics had me continuously laughing out loud.
The only thing irritating him about his outfit was his thong. It just wan't behaving properly, riding up his backside and into his crack. Leslie didn't mind fingers and tongues doing that, but an errant piece of fabric was simply a no-no.
It was nice to see Leslie get his happily ever after. After both his best friends and housemates were paired off and out of their shared flat, Leslie was left all alone longing for that special person of his own.
Oliver
Oliver has a sad story. He was quite the celebrity in his prime. Popular, unbelievably handsome, a social butterfly and a bit of a suit whore!
Unfortunately after some unforeseen events, he's become quite the recluse. Now he's hiding, feeling unworthy and definitely unlovable.
Looking for love and that special someone to see the person he is inside is hard when you're trapped behind closed doors..
This was a sweet, funny and at times sad story.
Leslie and Oliver shared an instant attraction but I like how they take things easy and form a friendship before jumping off into 'more'.
I loved the banter and funny one liners I've come to expect with Susan's books.
I really enjoyed Leslie's kinky side. I am an m/m lover, but have to say that I don't usually read about feminine men who wear women's clothing. So leave it to Susan Mac Nicol to change that!
I must say...
Leslie masturbating in bed wearing nothing but heels
was one hell of a turn on, I kid you not!

"Well, I'm not everybody. So don't taint me with the brush that other arseholes use."
I really enjoyed Leslie and Oliver's story, as well as catching up a bit with the previous couples Gideon/Eddie and Taylor/Draven.
Bring on the next Men of London!!! I'm ready!
