— ONE WRONG TURN. ONE RIGHT MAN. —
Colin. Rule-follower. Future doctor. Witness to murder. Captive.
Taron. Survivalist. Mute. Murderer. Captor.
Like every other weekend, Colin is on his way home from university, but he’s taunted by the notion that he never takes risks in life and always follows the beaten path. On impulse, he decides to take a different route. Just this one time. What he doesn’t realize is that it’s the last time he has a choice.
He ends up taking a detour into the darkest pit of horror, abducted by a silent, imposing man with a blood-stained axe. But what seems like his worst nightmare might just prove to be a path to the kind of freedom Colin never knew existed.
Taron has lived alone for years. His land, his rules. He’d given up on company long ago. After all, attachment is a liability. He deals with his problems on his own, but the night he needs to dispose of an enemy, he ends up with a witness to his crime.
The last thing Taron needs is a nuisance of a captive. Colin doesn’t deserve death for setting foot on Taron’s land, but keeping him isn’t optimal either. It’s only when he finds out the city boy is gay that an altogether different option arises. One that isn’t right, yet tempts him every time Colin’s pretty eyes glare at him from the cage.

“When Taron looped the heavy metal collar around the slender neck and closed the padlock, his body throbbed with the excitement of knowing he owned this boy.
Was it wrong? Yes, yes it was.
Was it so, so good? Definitely.”

This story made me nervous. Then it made me laugh and get angry, and to be honest, ashed some tears. Whatever, I liked Toran's cats... and Colin. When Colin was sad, apparently so was I. I'm so fist bumping Colin for being a size queen too LOL!! I've not read any books (that I remember) that were specific to this.
I had joked in the authors facebook group about reading the word "emerged" as "Ermegherd" and Kat informed me there's a few ermegherd moments. She wasn't lying. Right from the very intense beginning, up until the catalyst that would make or break Colin and Toran. OMG!
I can't blame Colin at all for his reactions. If something that horrible happened to me, I'd want actual assistance too. See, Toran is an off the grid, doomsday kind of bloke. On top of some illegal happenings, he doesn't want to draw attention to himself from the government, so I also see his side. It was hard being mad at Toran though, because out of all that savagery there is this total sweet guy who protects his cats, land and animals.
Toran slightly reminded me of Mr. B with that bunker. If you've read about the hipster, you'll understand what I'm talking about :) Maybe a little bit of Luis from The Cattery :p (minus the roleplay, just the fondness for cats)
I really liked these two together, I am glad they figured everything out.
