Review: Mine at Midnight – Leah Blake

Marcus Stark still lives with the pain of abandonment five years after his lover disappeared from his life without an explanation, never forgetting the only man he ever loved. When he learns Trevor has booked a pricey reservation on Sinn Island, he intends to claim his runaway lover as his submissive in hopes of learning why he left.

Trevor Dawson’s need to set things straight with Marcus leaves him with a drained savings account and a weekend pass to a new, exclusive Caribbean island, and his ex-lover’s newest haunt. On a whim, he contracts himself to be a submissive only to learn identities are a secret, as are the real owners of Sinn.

Marcus can’t lose Trevor again, and he’s willing to break the rules of Sinn to capture Trevor’s heart. When Trevor reveals the reason he left Marcus, they must make a daunting decision. Can they overcome the dark stain of their past? Or will they suffer heartache as the weekend comes to an end?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Marcus Stark is a hot and sexy man who is still in love with his ex of five years.  Maybe there is a pull because his ex disappeared without a reason as to why.  Marcus has made a life for himself as well as a lucrative business.  Marcus is also a Dom who enjoys BDSM play.  When Marcus finds out his ex, Trevor is coming to his Island Marcus sets out to find out why he left.

Trevor Dawson is a submissive who after five years is ready to face the past he left behind and tell Marcus why he left, even if it hurts him.  Trevor seems to be lost and depressed.  Trevor also seems to be caught up with punishing himself for leaving Marcus.

The connection between Trever and Marcus is intense.  They seems to be a good match for each other if they can get past their past.  The sex scenes were blistering.  That seems to be the one thing that no matter how bad communicate with each other goes right.

Mine at Midnight is the first book in the Boys of Sinn Island by Leah Blake.  I found this book very well written with a realistic plot.  The main characters and secondary characters are interesting. The ending of the book was a bit predictable but the focus of the book is more about the journey Marcus and Trevor undertake to get back together.  The only thing that bugged me about this book was that I could have been much longer than it was.  Overall, this was a great book and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
