Book Binge: Reviews by Melissa DaSilva's Reviews > Stitch Me

4.5 Stars. I’d have to say this was my first real attempt at reading a BDSM book. I’ve read some in the past but nothing near what is in this book. Definitely make sure to read the trigger warnings before reading. I wouldn’t let that stop you from reading this fantastic book but then at least you’ll be prepared.

The love story between Rod and Caleb was wonderful. I loved how they were both looking for something in their life that the other person fulfilled completely! Their relationship develops really quickly but it does start off with a few amazing dates where we get to know the characters before getting into anything too hardcore. The support that they have for one another was awesome. Rod was always there for Caleb (even if Caleb didn’t want it). It took Caleb some time but he was right there for Rod at the end with some amazing ideas.

The kink was a lot for someone that is not used to it but for the most part it was good (even found something new I liked)! One thing I loved about the whole concept of pain kink was that Rod was able to give Caleb what he needed in a safe environment where Caleb is always the winner! There was one scene I had to skip but I was able to pick back up at the end of the chapter and didn’t feel like I missed anything. I felt like the love story and kink were separate enough in their lives that it didn’t take over the story but was still present enough for readers looking for that BDSM element.

The HEA was perfect for them! The epilogue had me in tears, cleared up some questions and ended perfectly! I absolutely loved the meaning of Stitch Me! Tear-worthy explanation! This book is part of a multi-author universe, I have not read any others in this series but they can be read as stand-alones.
