Acerca de esta escucha
Six years ago, Ellis walked into his first briefing as the newest member of London's specialist firearms unit. He was partnered with Wayne, and they became fast friends. When Wayne begins to notice changes - Ellis’s erratic temper, the effects of sleep deprivation - he knows he has to act before Ellis reaches his breaking point.
He invites Ellis to the opening of the new BDSM club, Secrets, where Wayne has a membership. His purpose? He wants Ellis to glimpse the lifestyle before Wayne approaches him with a proposition. He wants to take Ellis in hand, to control his life because he wants his friend back, and he figures this is the only way to do it.
There are a few issues, however. Ellis is straight. Stubborn. And sexy. Wayne knows he has to put his own feelings aside to be what Ellis needs. What surprises the hell out of him is finding out what Ellis actually requires.

Historia
Lincoln Merriweather was born an entitled brat with a silver spoon lodged so deep, it might never have come out. At the BDSM club or in business, Lincoln was a storm, blowing in and disrupting the lives of everyone he touched, until the day he met a man who peeled away the tarnished layers to expose a decent person. Lincoln found - then lost - love. Since then, he’s tried to atone for his past, including walking away from his family’s wealth. He opened a diner, hiring people to work for him that he would have spit on before his epiphany.

Historia
Growing up in a small town in Georgia hasn't prepared him for the more liberal life of a student at the university in Athens. Add to that the teachings of his parents and his church, and you have one shy young man who feels out of his depth. Working on his daddy's farm hasn't given him any chance of a social life, certainly not one like the clubs of Atlanta have to offer. Not that Tommy feels comfortable when he gets to sample it - Momma's lectures still ring loudly inside his head.

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

You think you know me. That's the way I want it. Making you feel like we know each other - like we could go grab a beer sometime - is part of my job. Maybe the most vital part. It doesn't hurt that I'm easy on the eyes, single at 35, and born richer than sin. My aesthetic matters much more than it should, but all the better for my worthy cause. And it's a worthy cause. I've made an art out of making you feel good, and my influence makes you want to be good. Good like me. You think you know me, but you don't. Everyone has secrets. Mine could cost me everything.

Historia
Hockey star Alexander Crossman has a reputation as a cold-hearted player on and off the ice. Pushed into the sport by his alcoholic father, Alex isn't afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isn't so amused. Now Alex has a choice: fix his public image through community service or ride the bench. But Alex refuses to be molded into the Carolina Cold Fury poster boy... not even by a tempting redhead with killer curves.

Michael Kage Santori has just inherited a thriving hotel and millions of dollars. He’s poised to become an MMA champion. Things couldn’t be better between him and his college boy lover, Jamie Atwood - especially in the bedroom, where Jamie is more than eager to let Kage take out his aggressions on him. Kage seems to have it all, but success and happiness have come at a steep price. After all of the childhood trauma he endured at the hands of his controlling uncle, Peter Santori, it’s a miracle Kage has any shred of sanity left. And now, because of him, Jamie is a murderer.

He has to get married in the next nine months, or he loses his company to his ex-wife. And apparently I'm the most eligible bachelorette in town.

From New York Times best-selling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story. The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea. I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body and 9-to-5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.) Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no. Turns out no isn't an option.

Michael Kennedy has been Gary Cross’s personal assistant for nearly a year. He’s come to understand why none of his predecessors lasted more than a few months.

Growing up in a small town in Georgia hasn't prepared him for the more liberal life of a student at the university in Athens. Add to that the teachings of his parents and his church, and you have one shy young man who feels out of his depth. Working on his daddy's farm hasn't given him any chance of a social life, certainly not one like the clubs of Atlanta have to offer. Not that Tommy feels comfortable when he gets to sample it - Momma's lectures still ring loudly inside his head.

I have been waiting a long time for this book. K C Wells is a favorite of mine and I rub my hands with glee waiting for the audio. I had almost given up hoping that the Secrets series would make it because the second e book has been out for some time. I am forever glad I did not give in, due to the fact that I also love this narrator. Please hurry up with the next one. I really don't want to wait.

Deep, passionate, lovely
This first in the Collars and Cuffs spin-off series is fantastic. Eli and Jared open their new club, Secrets, after leaving their friends back in Manchester. We are introduced to two seriously built SFO guys (Americans- think SWAT) One is living with tons of crap under the surface that is making his life about to implode. The other has been carrying a torch for his straight best friend for years but is 100% Dom and 100% gay. Starting out as a way to help straighten his life out, a D/s relationship grudgingly forms at a crisis moment- completely non-sexual- between the besties. Then the story gets really good! The depth of emotion. The power exchange. The fantastic writing. The unique family drama. Then the life or death moment that leads to challenging decisions. Not a light read- this one is deep and sucks you into the Secrets world. SO good!

Excellent
4.5 stars
Narration: 5 stars
"Before You Break" caught my eye with its premise of Wayne, a dominant gay man deciding that the best way to help his best friend, Ellis, from his downward spiral is to “take him in hand” by contracting with Ellis in a BDSM relationship as his submissive, even though Ellis is not familiar with the lifestyle. Ellis willingly lets Wayne guide, protect and basically submits to Wayne’s judgement during their partnership in the Special Ops unit of the police force and as friends; thus, when after a year of increasingly erratic, temperamental and team-endangering behavior threatens Ellis’s career, Wayne decides that if Ellis refuses to take care of himself, then he should step in and help him before it’s too late.
Given that Ellis is completely unfamiliar with BDSM and sees submission as not being treated as a “real man”, Wayne’s offer is definitely not eagerly accepted, but as his world begins imploding and he learns more about what Wayne wants to do to help, Ellis very reluctantly agrees. Beyond Ellis’s initial views on BDSM, accepting Wayne as his Dom and letting Wayne help him is almost derailed at every attempt because the root of Ellis problems and deteriorating state lies in his abysmal family relationship that he tries to hide from Wayne. As Wayne’s control gives Ellis the space to breathe and reflect, he slowly comes to understand more about who he is, what his childhood cost him and what he wants, but as the dangers of their jobs impact their relationship, Ellis has to decide if he can place his full trust and heart in Wayne’s hands.
Ellis is a man who has been conditioned to believe he has to be the sole rock and provider; he cannot say no because he has a compulsive need to prove that he can be counted on to take care of others and shoulder their burdens. However, this comes at the cost of his mental state as constant late-night demands to babysit from his sister, always taking his coworkers’ extra shifts, and his demanding father and their tumultuous relationship have left him adrift and a rapidly depleting shell that is dangerously short-tempered and unfocused and one mistake away from jeopardizing his career or his life.
As a Dom, Wayne’s natural inclination to observe, support and lead has made him the guiding hand of their unit, and it makes him acutely aware of all the changes Ellis’s personality, behavior and temperament have undergone and how close he is to completely losing his best friend. Having also noticed how often Ellis has looked to him for guidance and how easily his presence calms him, Wayne decides the best way to help save Ellis and get him back on track is to bring that guidance and protection to all aspects of his life.
I was very curious as to how the premise would play out in the story, and was glad to see that the authors did not make the process from introducing Ellis to BDSM to getting him to the contracting stage with Wayne simple and straightforward. I liked how the authors incorporated Jarod and Eli from their Collars and Cuffs series to provide a safe space for Ellis to work out his confusion and questions; although, their incorporation is front-loaded and seems a little long and distracting, because the glimpses of Wayne and Ellis’s situation are intriguing and make the reader want to get to their story.
I also enjoyed the fact that the book was not filled with scenes that presented BDSM as a form of therapy or a way to avoid dealing with your inner demons. The BDSM relationship between Wayne and Ellis is all about taking care of Ellis, and is only possible through the bonds of trust and friendship they have cemented over the years, and his awareness to the fact that he has been relying on Wayne as a source of strength, protection and support throughout their friendship. The way their initial contract plays out, particularly with its focus on breaking down all the mental barriers Ellis has erected to survive in order to heal is done very well, as it makes this the primary focus of their contract and realistically and slowly builds the potential for a romantic relationship between the MCs later on.
There are a lot of emotional moments and angst that Joel Leslie’s narration really bring home. Ellis’s self-loathing and desperation, Wayne’s compassionate, unyielding support, as well as his moments of doubt and pain are all delivered with Leslie’s trademark skill and ability with accents. He does a great job covering the range of voices and, as a good audio performance should do, adds a bonus to quality source material. "Before You Break" is a great story and great listen.

great spinoff
I am so glad Joel Leslie got to keep narrating the spin off to Collars and Cuffs.
I really enjoyed this audio. The narration was of course great... The story, while a bit slow, was a great build up for the relationship between Wayne and Ellis. I especially loved Ellis' journey.
Highly recommend this one!!

How far can someone go until they break?
What if there is someone there to stop the fall?
What if, in the process, closely guarded secrets are finally revealed?
I was thrilled when I heard K.C. Wells and Parker Williams were launching a new series. I adored their BDSM series Collars and Cuffs and I may have listened to the series twice and I may have mourned a bit when it ended. I was grateful the authors recognized it was time to move on and was impressed they cleverly left the door open for a new series by moving a central couple from Manchester to London. Eli and his submissive Jared have purchased an aging gay BDSM club and closed it for desperately needed renovations. The reopening is the catalyst for the new couple – Wayne and Ellis - to move forward in their relationship. What of it there is.
There were several scenes in Jared and Eli’s point of view and it increased my comfort level with the transition between series. Is it wrong for me to say they were my favourite couple from Collars and Cuffs? I suspect I’m not the only fan who felt that way. The significant age gap is still there, but Eli is more comfortable in his role as Dominant. Jared has always been comfortable in his role as submissive, but he’s less concerned about the fact he is decades older than Eli. Oh, and he brings his mother Margaret to London with them and oh my God, the woman is still as feisty as ever. Talk about a great character.
Also, some of the characters from the old series do make cameos. It was great to see all my favourites and although the Dominants hanging out is cool, it’s the puppy pile of submissives that always warms my heart. Some of them have chosen different paths – including fatherhood – and it’s good to get caught up.
On to Ellis and Wayne. I’m a sucker for a character with a lot of challenges and Ellis is definitely that man. Wayne is confident in his life and who he is. His work as a tactical police officer demands complete and total dedication and attention. Aside from his visits to Secrets (the reopened club owned by Jared and Eli), he keeps work as his main focus. He plays with bottoms at the gay club but shies away from any serious engagements. Or he has for the last six years since he met Ellis, the man who has become his best mate.
His best straight mate.
So while Wayne pines, he’s watching Ellis spinning out of control. He’s tried various methods to get Ellis to open up, but nothing’s worked. Also, he’s tired of hiding who he is from his friend. Yes, he’s open with all the guys at work about the fact he’s gay, but none of them know about his Dominant tendencies. Wanting to share this part of himself, he invites Ellis to join him at the reopening of Secrets. Ellis believes he’s prepared himself by some searches on the Internet, but nothing let him know just how much he was going to react. Soon after that night, his life comes to a head and things go right off the rails.
Cue Wayne. He doesn’t want to control Ellis – much – but he can see the younger man needs a guiding hand. He inserts himself into Ellis’ life and as he uncovers plenty of secrets, including what’s really in Ellis’ heart. And when things are finally turning around, tragedy strikes in a most painful way. Wow, did that horrific event ever affect me. The men are police officers, so violence in the jobs is, unfortunately, expected. The reality was difficult to handle for me.
I love the relationship between the two men. They’ve both held secrets close to their hearts and when they finally lay everything on the line, it was very powerful. There were also secondary characters who, at first, annoyed me greatly. Some of them might have grown on me.
Being close to breaking is terrifying and not knowing how to get out of a destructive situation can be harrowing. Accepting a lifeline isn’t easy, but if someone like Wayne comes into your life and offers kindness, gentleness, and a solution, it’s hardly surprising Ellis eventually comes around. Whether through just talking or through the firm hand of BDSM, Wayne brings calm to Ellis and the perfect resolution to the book.
Finally, I need to mention Joel Leslie. *sigh* He narrated the last few books of the Collars and Cuffs books and I was thrilled to see he was back with Secrets. He has brought back all my favourite characters and then added great voices for the new characters. As always, I cannot say enough good things about him.

Absolutely Beautiful Story
K.C. Wells and Parker Williams team up again to bring us Before You Break, the first book in their new Secrets series. A spin-off of Collars and Cuffs, you don’t need to have read those stories to appreciate this one, though fans will be as excited as I was to have a few beloved characters popping in.
Aptly named, Before You Break is an intimate and moving story of one man whose world is falling apart and how, using BDSM, his friend intervenes to save him. Partnered for six years in London’s Specialist Firearms unit, Wayne takes note of Ellis’ increasingly erratic behavior, bouts of uncontrolled anger, and dangerous mistakes at work. It takes some time, but Wayne finally gets the story of what’s going on in Ellis’ life. In addition to the stresses of the job, his family obligations are doing him in both physically and mentally.
Wayne presents a D/s relationship as a way to give Ellis some control and provide the support he needs to get his life back on track. Their relationship starts to change as the men navigate the challenges this presents in their friendship and as colleagues. As the attraction between them grows and they incorporate other elements of BDSM into their relationship, the passion between them explodes.
I really enjoy the way this story unfolds and what happens to both men along the way. Clearly a proud and capable man, Ellis has become overwhelmed and reached his breaking point. As he starts to see how having the support Wayne gives as his Dom affects him, other aspects of Ellis’ life begin to change as well.
For Wayne the changes are more subtle, having finally found his ideal submissive his confidence grows and his character softens. He’s tender and patient but also deliciously commanding as he guides Ellis through some very intense events in his life.
K.C. Wells and Parker Williams do a marvelous job with the dynamic between these two men and the changes that happen in their relationship. Done in the third person, we get both Wayne and Ellis’ stories, plus their impressions of what the other is experiencing. It really moved me to see how Ellis embraces his need for submission, and I enjoyed how Wayne responds to the challenges along the way. Wayne has such a sexy way about him, when Ellis gets bratty and tests his limits... so hot.
This is an intimate and emotional story and Joel Leslie emphasizes it nicely with the intensity in his narration. The consistent, dependable strength of Wayne flows throughout, whereas Ellis runs the gamut of emotions. His desperation and fear, his panicky breakdown, and his heartbreaking defeat all come across loud and clear and stay true to Ellis’ character as he navigates this journey.
Joel Leslie does an amazing job shifting between the alternating points of view, he keeps Ellis and Wayne’s voices unique and distinct. Additionally, there are a wide variety of characters in this story: co-workers, club members, family members, and Leslie brings something special to each of them. His skill with accents is on full display in Before You Break and it is a pleasure to listen to from beginning to end.
This was a deeply moving story for me. Watching Ellis discover and embrace his needs, and seeing the joy it gives Wayne to provide it was really lovely. These two unfulfilled men come together and become whole in the process. In Ellis’ words as he kneels at Wayne’s feet, “For the first time in his life he’d found his place.”

Outstanding
What did you love best about Before You Break?
What didn't I love about it is the better question. The answer to that would be nothing. I loved the whole book from the plot to the characters.
What other book might you compare Before You Break to and why?
I would have to compare it to Collars and Cuffs. Because this is it's spin off. That being said CC was awesome and I know that this Secrets series will be as well!
What does Joel Leslie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Complete and total emotion for all the characters in the book. It was very easy to paint a vivid picture in my head with him narrating.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did actually laugh a lot while listening to this book. I will be honest in saying that it also turned me of a few times as well. (If only I could just find my own club...)
Any additional comments?
I would highly recommend this book/ series to anyone that wants to hear a very well done gay erotic novel. Especially if you were into Collars and Cuffs.
