Publisher's summary

Christmas is a time for goodwill to all, but Collars and Cuffs co-owner Thomas Williams receives an unexpected gift that chills him to the bone. A Dom from another Manchester club asks Thomas for his help rescuing an abused submissive, Peter Nicholson. Thomas takes in the young man as a favor to a friend, offering space and time to heal, but he makes it clear he's never had a sub and doesn't want one.

Peter finds Thomas' home calm and peaceful, but his past has left him unwilling to trust another Dom. When Thomas doesn't behave as Peter expects, Peter's nightmares begin to fade, and he decides he'd like to learn more about D/s life. A well-known trainer of submissives, Thomas begins to teach Peter, but as the new submissive opens up to him, Thomas finds he cares more for Peter than he should. Just as he decides it's time to find a permanent Dom for Peter, they discover Peter's tormentor is still very much a threat. With their lives in danger, Thomas can't deny his feelings for Peter any longer. The question now becomes: can Peter make it out of the lion's den alive, so Thomas can tell his boy he loves him?

Trust is Beautiful

In this second book in the series, Wells goes even deeper into the D/s relationship. Thomas and Peter discover an unconventional love that will melt reader's hearts. I've adored all the men in the series so far, and especially enjoy the cameos others make in each book.

Well done in audio.

I Can't Believe I Enjoyed This As Much as I Did

Would you listen to Trusting Thomas again? Why?

No, once was adequate - but I'd explore other books in the series.

What other book might you compare Trusting Thomas to and why?

I have no comparison. This was the first book of its type I have experienced.

What does Nick J. Russo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He powers through the parts that would make me blush.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't know.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this peek into the fantasy world of Doms and subs. Pure escapism for gay men. Not literature by any means. But fun and hot and compelling. Listen to it - nobody has to know you did.

Great story!

I liked everything about this book. I was invested in the characters lives and especially liked the fact that there was such a large age difference between them. I'm glad they were able to overcome this. Sex scenes were great. My only criticism would be that I wish Thomas had dropped out of Master mode more often and called Peter by his name rather than boy.

Amazing

This was a great addition to this series. Loved the storyline it was fun and exciting. The characters Thomas and Peter are stunning characters after a tragedy in his past Peter has trouble trusting Thomas but as they grow closer it all falls together. Stunning listen. The narrator did a great job.

trusting Thomas

good sorry, terrible narration. they should have got a Brit, not an American! good characters tho.

Amazing Listen

The narrator is a perfect choice for this one. I absolutely loved the kindle version and had to add the audiobook. I’m glad I did.

Life changing

For anyone who has wanted to know about what it's really like in the BDSM scene this book is highly important to read or listen to. The author writes beautifully honest and descriptive scenes that leave you wanting to only continue to the next chapter. The characters are real and make you feel like you want to be one of them have been one of them or would like to encounter one of them or more. Nick is also an amazing reader. His ability to change his voice and really make you feel as if you are that character is an important part of this book as well. I truly look forward to more in the series.

The story will grab at your heart!

Peter - what he went through and he road to recovery is an amazing story that will tug at your heart strings

Nice Story, NJR Does a Great Job

I've enjoyed K.C. Wells and Parker Williams' Secrets series so much I felt like I really oughta finish the Collars and Cuffs series. I read the first one ages ago and didn't love it. Trusting Thomas was pretty good - better in part to Nick J. Russo's wonderful narration. It's an interesting story, with wonderful characters, and I'm elevating it to four stars thanks to some pretty creative edging scenes.
