Publisher's summary
Gray Andino is a Denver cop with a pain kink and a history of falling in love with the wrong people. He’s jealous of his friends’ newfound happiness, but with a brain that won’t shut up and a need to argue everything, finding his own soul mate seems impossible, so he settles for meaningless sex and doling out pain with willing subs.
Subs like Avery Barron.
When Avery asks to stay with Gray for a few weeks, Gray reluctantly agrees. Avery may be the perfect sub, but as an accidental roommate, he sucks. The younger child of rich, indulgent parents, Avery is an entitled slob with a disdain for rules, a lack of ambition, and an obsession with social media. Gray tolerates his presence, but when Avery breaks one of Gray’s ground rules, he punishes him and takes away his phone.
Deprived of his usual echo chamber, Avery feels lost until he discovers a local Tap House, a piano, and his buried love of music. The more Avery plays, the more the community around him blossoms. For the first time in his life, Avery has a purpose and goals for the future. But the thing he longs for most - Gray’s love and respect - may be forever out of reach.

Story
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.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Story
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work - starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way. But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world? Only there’s so much more to him than that. Billionaire playboy? Check. Troubled soul? Check.

Beautiful and timely!
Would have my teen listen to it if not for the explicitness. However, I wouldn’t give that up either! Thoughtful, sexy, and inspiring.

Great Follow Up in Series
The book has a great plot, character development, and balance of titillating content. The narration is excellent. The only downside is the excessive time spent on the soapbox, which could have been cut down to focus more on character development and play scenes. However, overall the book is recommended, and listeners should be patient through the soapbox moments to return to the great story.

John Solo's Performance is Breathtaking!
As beautiful as this story is, it's even lovelier when read by John Solo. His performance is simply spectacular. There's boatloads of emotion in each of the books in this series, and the way he captures it and conveys it just through his voice..., well it is an incredible experience and I highly recommend it.
Folks, if you're turned off by the S&M part I get it, though Marie Sexton does a great job explaining why and how it works for these characters. If you're turned off by the political statements (especially those early in the book) PLEASE stay the course. There's a solid reason why Avery's character starts out like this - and to follow his journey all the way through is imperative. Then you'll understand why Ms. Sexton starts this story out the way she does.
Each of the books in this series could be read as standalones, though the four gents around whom the series revolves play a part in each other's books.

5 Blue Roses
4 Blue Flames
Narrator John Solo expertly delivered the long awaited, extremely beautiful, but so fucking entrancing third installment of the Heretic Doms Club. Listeners, like myself were ravishingly anticipating this audiobook, and John Solo enraptured and delighted beyond measure. Listeners will be transported and enthralled by his delightful performance. They will be captivated by his ability to make you forget about the world around you, while you are hanging hungerly on every word.
The quality of the authors’ writing is evident in how she so painstakingly but extremely diligently cared for the details in the plot. The effort and careful writing was felt when I was scooped up and meticulously delivered at the end feeling chewed up, well used, and unable to utter the word “again”.
This series is admirable due to the beautiful character building, not only the primary characters, but also the secondary characters, all have their own story or lives while we hear about Avery and Grays’ story. Gray is so much more than just sexy, and Avery is so much more than a horny submissive twink. They both bring the best out in each other, and both are someone the other look up to and truly admire.
I absolutely recommend this whole series. I hope Charlie’s book is out sooner rather than later. I nominate this audiobook for a Blue Encore!!
Happy Listening

Good Story Great Narration
I enjoyed this audiobook even though book 2 is still my favorite in the series, Gray's story was very good. I have read the entire series and loved how each story is different and unique in its own way. Spare the Rod is Gray's story and I was excited to find out what kind of partner it will take to keep Gray's interest for more that a day. Avery was a perfect fit with his quirks and flaws and amazing talent and I think they make a great couple. I loved the story up until the last 10% of the book. The ending of this story was not my favorite and I am so happy that I got a good satisfying conclusion while reading Charlie's book. Seeing couples from previous books and learning more about each character is my favorite part of reading Heretic Doms Club series. Narrator did a great job performing this story and his voices for Gray and Avery made this story a perfect listening experience. I can't wait for No Good Deed to be out in audio.

Worth the Wait
I’m a patient woman. I LOVED the first two books in the Heretic Doms series and was willing to wait for this one. The author would provide periodic updates and I read each one eagerly, hoping for a publication date. Well, that came a couple of months ago and then began the wait for the audio. I love John Solo and knew he was working on it so, tapping fingers, I exercised more of that patience. I listened to piles of audios in between, all the while knowing this one was coming.
Then, voila, it arrived. I grabbed it, held it to my chest, and chanted MINE MINE MINE.
But I digress. The book is long, clocking in at over 15 hours, and I would’ve done it in one sitting if I hadn’t needed to, you know, sleep. I listened over two days and loved every part of it. John Solo took a wonderful book and elevated it even further, giving it the spark it needed to come to life. I was so glad to be immersed back in the world with Warren, Taylor, Phil, River, Gray, and even Charlie. (And he’s getting a book, right? Don’t worry, I’ll wait patiently…) John has distinct voices for each man and his narration flows beautifully, taking me into the men’s world.
Gray needed a strong partner who is also a pain slut. I don’t use the word in a pejorative term – I am a bit of one myself, so I understand Avery’s need for it. There’s something about needing to immerse oneself within the pain, to know you can take it, to – if you’re really lucky – go into subspace. Which is a thing. When Gray and Avery meet at a BDSM house party, it’s clear they are well suited. Each ghosts on the other and it looks like it’s over until Gray comes back into Avery’s life in the most embarrassing way possible.
Now, Avery is a spoiled brat. I wanted to slap him upside the head. But he’s no different than plenty of young people, especially those raised in the age of social media. I have a sister who’s never lived without a smart phone, doesn’t know what a rotary dial phone is, and has never spent a day without a computer in the house. She’s wise with her social media use, but not all young adults are. Avery gets pulled into the echo chamber and often experiences faux outrage, believing everyone on the other side is, to be blunt, a Nazi. Now, I’m as mystified as the next person on why so many people voted for Donald Trump, but I try not to paint all of them with one brush. They had their reasons. (I’m Canadian and we’ve voted in a few people and I’ve gone, ‘huh, really?’ and watched them destroy things I believe in.) I could get into the basis of the polarization but that would take a week and you’re here to read about what a great book this is. Let’s just say I’ve seen Twitter mobs in action and to be on the receiving end isn’t pretty. Lives have been lost. People destroyed. Relationships ruined.
What I love about this book is that things are not presented simply. Gray comes from a family where every side of every issue is examined, litigated, and then hashed over yet again. I know I’d love to immerse myself in that environment for perhaps a dinner, but as a way to live? No wonder Gray can see both sides of every argument. But the openness to hear the other side does come back to bite him in the butt.
When Gray agrees to let Avery stay, he lays down some basic rules, then figures he’s going to get plenty of sex and BDSM sessions. Avery’s laziness quickly turns Gray off, but it’s not until Avery breaks one of Gray’s critically important rules that things fall apart. Gray feels he can’t kick Avery out, but he can punish him. And sometimes pulling away emotionally is ten times worse than any physical punishment. It becomes apparent that although Gray isn’t happy about losing the sex with benefits part, he’s truly had enough of Avery living in an echo chamber and his bratty behavior.
Avery, without his phone, has to find a new way to live his life. He wanders into the Tap House and everything changes. He makes new friends from all sides of the political spectrum. He rediscovers his love of music. His attitude improves, and he even makes friends with Taylor. Then Warren and Charlie come to see what he’s up to. But he doesn’t tell Gray. He’s afraid of more rejection, which I understood. But secrets have a way of coming back to haunt you.
Then something horrible happens and the fragile relationship Avery and Gray have built is threatened. The hatred has come home to roost and both men have to face the wrath of the angry Twitter mob who are, unsurprisingly, totally uninformed and unwilling to see the truth.
Okay, in all that chaos, there is more character development going on. Not just with Avery and Gray (although I do love what happens when a sadist and a masochist meet…) There are wedding plans for one of the previous couples, and men who seemed stable might have moments of doubt. Moments where coping with life is almost too tough. In other words, real life.

A steamy and interesting listen!
This is book 3 in the Heretic Doms series and can be listened to as a standalone.
I have been waiting for Gray's story and this one didn't dissapoint in the least.
I loved how the kink was handled.
I am always wary of books where a particular kink is explored especially this one. But I was pleasantly surprised.
Gray and Avery were so good for eachother. I absolutely loved the chemistry and dynamics between them.
John Solo performs a stellar and wonderful audio delivery and narration.

Making Good Decisions!
This book is not your average bdms story.
It’s about forgiveness and growth. What you need is often what you deserve. Sharing can be caring. Even brought characters from other stories to make the friends tie in. The plot twist wasn’t always happy but made Since. I can’t wait for the next audiobook.

If you want good smut go to any other book in the series
Most of this book is the same political argument made over and over. It gets to be unbearable at times. Some of the ideas it preaches are highly unethical. Do not EVER let your Dom hit you while angry. No one has that good of control. Lolita’s is about a pedophile. I have no idea why the book treats these two things as they are up for debate. Further more. If your Dom hits you they should ALWAYS provide aftercare. John Solo’s performance is the only thing that makes this book worth buying.
