Stroke Rate by L.M. Somerton
Lucien Thorne likes to be in control, but the boy he wants to own may take some convincing.
Gorgeous but shy, Benedict Astor does his best to keep a low profile at the rowing club where he works. However, unbeknown to Benedict, he has attracted the attention of Lucien Thorne, rowing aristocracy, an Olympic medallist and a Lord.
Whilst looking for a new rowing partner, Lucien believes he has found what he needs in Ben. He pushes him to his limits on the water and it becomes clear that rowing with the pretty young man is not his only interest. Ben is attracted to Lucien but confused about his feelings. Lucien is demanding, arrogant and dominant—which Benedict responds to even though he feels he should resist.
Fighting emotions he doesn’t understand, Ben has to contend with the bullying rowing club president and a humiliating auction of promises.
Lucien recognises Ben’s hidden submissive streak and makes his own need for control very clear. He bids for Ben’s time and then forces Ben to admit to his own desire to test the ground between them.
When the deeds to the boat club are gambled away, Lucien and Ben must work together to save it. Will their growing love survive the pressure, Ben’s uncertainty and Lucien’s desire to own him completely?

This story is so well written that I kept going back to re-read the beginning chapters a couple times before I could move on to finish the entire book. The evocative ambience of Ben's simple life really sets the opening stage of the book. He is a hard-working college student who lives in the tiny flat above the rowing club and pays for his lodgings and club membership by waking before dawn to open the boat house and get everything set up for the day, and to clean the building and store away the boats at night. He goes out and practices rowing in the cold foggy mornings before his day of classes. As the book progresses he meets the dark and dangerous Lucien Thorne, an English lord who is a former Olympic rower and owner of a great manor house. Lucien chooses Ben to replace his retired rowing partner, but his interest is in more than sports. Lucien is a domineering man who likes control, but also a caring and protective boyfriend. I've read dozens of 'D/s club' books lately, I don't know if authors are writing more of them or if I've been reading more, but this is a completely original take on that sort of relationship. Those books were occasionally rather derivative and repetitive, but this takes the relationship out into the real world which made it fascinating. Another good book by this author is "Mountain Rescue". At first glance, I thought, "Sports, augh..." but the rowing scenes are really fascinating and make you want to get out on a river yourself. ;)Quote:
"""Season of mists and mellow fruitfullness, my arse." Ben shivered and muttered to himself as he unlocked the boathouse door the next morning and peered through fog that would not have been out of place in "The Hound Of The Baskervilles". The sun was not yet up, and he could feel the heavy dew soaking through his canvas shoes as he pulled upon the large doors that granted access to the boats.""

Stroke Rate edition by LM Somerton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Excellent set up and excellent development of characters. I really liked the setting and it was an honestly believable story. No angst which I adore
It's okay, but I felt like the 'drama' of the book happened at the beginning and kept expecting something more to happen later and it didn't.
This one dragged me under from the get go and I cursed the need for sleep.
There is no way I would not want to read the rest of thier lives.
This is pretty light stuff, but totally fun and enjoyable, with very hot, and I mean HOT, sex. The BDSM elements were very user-friendly, not light so much as good-natured. I really like Somerton's submissive characters Benedict is just plain sweet without being annoying, wussy, or burdened with some miserable back-story. It's easy to see how he can't resist Lucien, who comes at him with all the subtlety of speeding freight train. But it's also not too great a stretch to imagine gorgeous, witty, aristocratic Lucien falling for a wall-flower like Benedict. Usually in these books, the focus is on the sub trusting the dom, but here it's almost the reverse Ben is trustworthy, which allows Lucien to truly be himself. And Lucien as himself is a fantastic dom fiendish but with a great sense of humor.
The results are a fun love story without a lot of gratuitous angst or ridiculous misunderstandings. One I'll definitely reread on a bad day when I need cheering up.
This is a wonderful love story with a very unusual BDSM theme. Ben is a student at a university and lives and works in a boathouse so that he is able to cover expenses and get to practice rowing for free. Lucien is a wealthy Lord and Olympic rower who needs a second for his two person rowing races and ends up asking Ben to be that second person. Both Ben and Lucien are out gays, but Lucien is a Dom and Ben is not into BDSM although he recognizes his submissive nature. There is a considerable pull and tug between the two of them but they quickly fall in love even though Ben is at best reluctant to submit to Lucien. The sex scenes in this book are extraordinarily hot, and the BDSM in them is not of the whip and pain variety other than spanking, but rather it is in the sex play itself. The kinky sex makes Ben understandably uncomfortable, but it is with his consent and ends up with his having incredible sexual release. While Lucien appears at first to be aggressive and somewhat unpleasant, as we get to know him better, it is clear that he is in fact a lovely and loving man who is not only in love with Ben but is very up free to show it in public. This excellent book is a novella but I truly wish it was a full novel; perhaps a sequel will be written to follow Ben and Lucien further into their lives. It definitely is a book I could read many times and enjoy it repeatedly. At this time, L.M. Somerton only has about five books in this genre, and I would not hesitate to recommend them all. If you have not read any of these books, you are in for a treat, so go for it.
