I read the short stories in Tantalus’ Summer Heat Series four or five years ago with no idea the author was K.C. Wells. Well, part way into listening to the audio version of Damon & Pete this morning, I was scrambling to search “Tantalus” on my Kindle… and was I pleasantly surprised!
As hot as those two guys were in this series, nothing compares to listening to their romance being read by John Solo. (Yes, he’s one of my all-time favorite narrators, and his fans know of what I speak when I stress how much his performance can add – but whoa he really outdoes himself with this one.)
This is an intimate love story, with intense, erotic, and very graphic BDSM scenes. Starting as a purely sexual encounter, their relationship changes as the men gradually open up to each other. Over the course of the series, K.C. Wells explores how each man processes their experiences, both physically and mentally, as Pete and Damon make this journey.
The primary focus in the Playing With Fire series is how the couple’s sexual encounters influence the development of their relationship. For me, hearing the whole thing read from beginning to end, getting each man’s pov, and having it performed by John Solo elevates this story – it was a wonderful experience.
Fans of Tantalus’ Damon & Pete: Playing With Fire, you’ve got to try this one in audio!

Kinky and hot as fire!
I love K.C. Wells’ writing and I love John Solo’s audio performances so I didn’t have any doubt that I’d like Damon and Pete. I wasn’t wrong. This is a hot as fire story about two guys who enjoy a bit of kink and exhibitionism. What starts out as fun between competitive neighbors turns into so much more.
There’s not a lot I can say about the book other than it’s great. There is definitely a romantic component but the focus is weighted way more towards the sexy time between Damon and Pete and others. Yes, there are a few scenes that include more than just the two title characters and wow are they smoking hot.
Damon and Pete probably won’t be for everyone but if you like a hot and sexy MM story, voiced expertly by the fantastic John Solo, you can’t go wrong with this one.

***Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions dot com***
I confess…I didn’t know what to expect from this book. I knew that it is a series of short stories and that Tantalus, K.C. Wells alter ego, writes raunchier reads. Well, raunchy is definitely the word for the first two stories! The heat took my breath away. But then, slowly, the little buds of love appear and the tender moments that I love this author for became more evident, but always with eroticism woven through, above and below.
The masterful John Solo uses a whole arsenal of emotions to portray the raunch, sometime anger, the gentleness and finally the love. He is the ideal partner to this author, bringing both main and secondary characters to life.
Fantastic Story & Audible Listen SmokingHot!
Damon & Pete
Playing with Fire
By: K.C. Wells, Tantalus
Narrated by: John Solo
This is a steamy and enjoyable book, it is comprised of five previously published short stories all of which are of Damon & Pete. It starts with Pete losing a bet and having to do whatever Damon wants. And what Damon wants is Pete’s submission and more. Each story that follows is like another chapter and/or step in their life. The stories flow nicely, each one being just as hot, if not hotter with some great D/s & BDSM scenes all nicely done all smoking hot. I adored both Damon & Pete, Damon the more experienced of the two, the Dom who takes charge and Pete, more naive but does come into his own by the end. I loved the chemistry between them and how their relationship grew. There is never a dull moment in this book, in addition to the kink there are heartfelt moments for both Damon and Pete, loved Damon’s family too. Thank you Tantalus for this fantastic story!
I listened to the Audible edition, John Solo is a talented narrator and voice artistic. He does an awesome job portraying the characters, bringing them to life giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart he puts into his works he captures the characters emotions and passion which is projected into his performance. He perfected the Alpha Dom role as well as the softer submissive role. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen
