With a wedge at last driven between Mat and Dougie Carmichael, courtesy of Nikolai Petrovic’s expert manipulations, the brothers must each accept their new path forward: Dougie, a perfect slave, sweet and obedient and loving. Mat, a tightly reined dog, snarling and snapping but never allowed to bite.
Unfortunately, no transformation, however well planned, is without its growing pains. Mat’s leash is so tight it’s choking him. Dougie is tormented by a little voice inside his head—a fragment of his former self—that he cannot silence.
And Nikolai’s most difficult tests for the brothers are still to come.
The critical question isn’t whether they can pass those tests, but whether they even want to. Without each other to lean on and live for, a bleak future has become bleaker still. But Nikolai’s too good to let his slaves slip through his fingers—by death or by despair.
A noose, a nighttime sky, a shared lover, an unexpected friend. A foreboding forest cabin. A lavish party with all the debauchery Nikolai’s clientele could want. It’s all coming in season 3 of the Flesh Cartel.
I am torn. These books are so good, however I hope that both men do not get so far gone that they cannot come back from it. As far a series, this is an amazing story and very well thought out. However, the human inside me cries for justice. As much as I find myself getting attached to Nikolai's character I hope he and the Madame get what they deserve.
Dougie is already gone. He is fighting it less and less with each book. He is now a sub through and through. His fear of pain and being left alone has driven him into a dark bout of Stockholm Syndrome. My heart aches for Dougie.
Them there is Mat. He is defeated. Still reeling from the abuse he forced to watch and endure on his brother, he has resorted to suicide. Roger and one of Nikolai's devious, yet ingenious plots bring him back to reality.
We get to meet a couple new characters in this short novella. However, the ending was just pure evil!!!

I hope you give this series a try. If you can get past the human abuse side of the story, you will find an amazing story.
