Kurzbeschreibung:
I was my own worst enemy. For as much as I depended on order and a
structured life to easier manage my bipolar disorder, fire was
irresistible and indisputably my favorite toy to play with. On the ice,
it turned me into a hotheaded hockey player. In the bedroom, my attitude
was my last defense, a front I wanted to see tumbling down. But lately,
all I got was burned.
Love sucked. Correction: it sucked when you were in love with your parents’ closest friend and he didn’t feel the same. I admitted my feelings for Madigan Monroe over a year ago, and I was still waiting for a response. Now my balance was gone. My anxiety was all over the place, my fits of rage had just earned me a suspension from the team, I questioned myself at every turn, and being home for two weeks was gonna make it impossible to avoid Madigan.
I used to be his Abel, his sweetheart, his trouble. It’d been the two of us against the world since I was a kid. I’d even discovered we had kink in common! On paper, I was seemingly perfect for him. Maybe that was why his nonverbal rejection hurt so much. Or maybe it was because, recently, he seemed hell-bent on us “being friends” again.
Whatever. I was a loser, and I couldn’t resist him for crap.

Zusammenfassung:
Schon seit einer gefühlten Ewigkeit ist der junge professionelle Hockeyspieler Abel nun schon in den besten Freund seiner Eltern, Madigan verliebt. Und außerdem ist er bipolar und experimentiert ganz gerne mit Daddy-Kink. Doch nur über ersteres weiß Madigan Bescheid. Was das andere angeht, so ahnt Abel nicht, dass Madigan da auch noch seine kühnsten Träume übertreffen wird. Aber erst einmal müssen die beiden zueinander finden - und Abels Eltern, die ja zugleich Madigans beste Freunde sind, machen es den beiden nicht gerade leicht ...
Fazit:
Ja, ja, ich gebe es zu, dass ich diese Story vor allem deshalb gelesen habe, weil ich - wie Abel - bipolar bin. Nun sei aus diesem Grund aber auch festgehalten, dass Daddy-Kink nicht die Lösung für alle Bipolaren dieser Welt ist. Jetzt wo das geklärt ist, widmen wir uns der Geschichte selbst. Sie war schräg für mich, wo ich Daddy-Kink gerade gar nicht auf dem Schirm hatte. Aber davon abgesehen konnte man sie ganz gut lesen und die Handlung war ganz okay in meinen Augen. Nicht überragend, aber eben okay.
