Debt

I was a little afraid of to many hurt/comfort but it just touched it.
It touched everything lite. It was a pleasurable read.
Nikko a young man tide by a secret club meets Mitch a teacher 23 years older than Nikko.
Mitch is mesmerized by Nikko and Nikko is happy surprised by the warming and loving personality of Mitch. At the club Mitch is the one Nikko is look forward to.
Some feelings of guilt and not being worthy and the fact he works in a club stands Nikko in his own way. Mitch on the other hand has made a choice.
After some action Mitch takes Nikko away to his family.
A very supportive family. And they have the time to grow towards each other.
Like I said before it's not a heavy read it touches some subjects but doesn't go to deep.

K.C. Wells is a very favorite author of mine so I jump at the opportunity to read her new releases. The description for 'Debt' really intrigued me and I was eager to see what the author would bring me in terms of characters and storyline. I was not disappointed in Mitch or Nikko as they are both strong, complex men. The storyline was hot, sexy, heartbreaking, hopeful, and full of enough drama to keep me riveted to each page.
A secret brothel in New York City? Tell me it's not so. I'm betting there's more than one. Unfortunately for Nikko, the Black Lounge is where he works as part of the merchandise. He's new, and his first client is Mitch. Mitch is introduced to the club by a friend who is a member, and initially Mitch doesn't see anyone who attracts him until he spots Nikko in the back, fully dressed, reading a book. Their encounter is sweet, gentle, and hot, until Mitch kind of ruins it by asking a personal question about why Nikko is there. That's Nikko's secret, and he isn't about to share it. Not when the owners have cameras on him 24/7.
\"He kept recalling Nikko’s manner, his quiet way of speaking, the way he held himself, his gentleness. Mitch couldn’t for the life of him imagine what Nikko was doing working in a brothel, and yet Nikko had insisted he was there of his own volition. Something wasn’t right. Between what Nikko said and how Nikko behaved, something just didn’t… mesh.\"
Mitch can't keep from coming back to see Nikko, again and again. Sometimes they just cuddle and talk, and Mitch forgets that he's paying for time with, basically, a hooker. Mitch is a serial monogamist, but at forty-five he's almost given up hope since his last boyfriend dumped him for being boring. Nikko can't stop the relief he feels every time he sees Mitch. The Black Lounge allows its members to do anything they want, and quite a bit of it is out of Nikko's comfort zone. But he has no choice but to comply, even as he reminds himself it's only for a few more months and he'll have paid off his debt. That is, until he realizes the debt he's accruing every day that they never told him about. And the owner making it very plain that since Nikko's looks attract a certain type of client, he isn't about to let him go. At least, not until he's of no more use.
I think one of the things I loved the most about this book is that the author didn't use the standard tropes. This wasn't a wealthy john who saved his rent boy. Mitch is a high school English teacher, and believe me they aren't making big bucks. He's kind, gentle, sweet, has a conscience, morals, a loving family, and he truly cares about other people. Ms. Wells didn't use on-page descriptions of abuse or noncon sex, instead I knew it was occurring, and there were references, but it wasn't being thrown in my face.
The other thing I loved is the way the whole story played out. I didn't see any of it happening so that just made it ten times better. I have to admit that this is probably one of the sweetest and gentlest love stories I have read in quite a while. A wonderful, beautiful story with truly good, decent people. Something I don't get to see every day. Thank you, K.C.

4.5 stars
Well…. That was a recreational ride for my heart. I’m not sure where to begin here. I’ll start with the characters. Mitch… I call him the hero of the story. His weapon of choice? His heart. The target of his affections? Nikko. Nikko is NO damsel in distress. He’s the brave, strong Knight willing to fight beside Mitch to make a better life.
These two together are unstoppable. There was elements of this story that were hard to read. Not unbearable and not bad like it was the writing. KC managed to take us into the belly of the beast with this story. Though Nikko was living this nightmare to save someone he loves, what he endures is very rough. Only because of Mitch and a few friends does he get through it.
There’s serious suspense throughout the story. Whether it’s “Oh god please don’t die.” Suspense or “Oh dear don’t leave him.” Suspense, it was there and it was nail biting.
This is a love story. One that doesn’t play easy on your heart. KC Wells makes her characters work for it and she makes us readers suffer lol.
This is not a story that you will EVER be bored reading. It’s wonderful. I did find myself wondering some things at the end that weren’t addressed but it ended with me realizing it will all be okay. I can live with that.
This is a story you should totally read because you’ll fall in love with Mitch’s family just like Nikko did.
