MM, Age gap, Dom/sub, brat
My Review:
Ms. Dixon, in all my years of reading, how is it I’ve only now just found your books?!
This is the third book I’ve read by this author, and I promise it won’t be the last!! Okay, enough about me…
Like many of us who’ve read Spitting Off the Edge of the World, I fell in love with Jinx and was so very excited to hear he was getting his own story.
Jinx has survived things no one should ever have to, and now he’s trying to figure out who he is outside of that trauma. Watching him struggle through his panic attacks, put on that flirtatious persona as a shield, and slowly learn what it actually feels like to be cared for absolutely wrecked me.
Mason is the complete opposite. He’s all about control, rules, structure, and discipline.
These two needed each other in ways I wasn’t prepared for.
Mason never tried to fix Jinx. He gave him choices. He gave him boundaries. He gave him patience. Most importantly, he showed Jinx that love could look completely different from what he had known before.
Meanwhile, Mason was struggling with his own wounds. Watching these two slowly become a safe place for each other was breathtakingly beautiful. There were so many moments where Jinx would break down, and Mason would simply be there to help him pick up the pieces… when it was called for without question Jinx did the same.
Some of Jinx’s experiences also touched on things that resonated with my own past, which made certain moments particularly emotional for me. I had to put everything down because the feelings were just too much at times.
But that ending… 🥹 …that’s all I’m saying.
Ms. Dixon, I really hope I get to tell you this one day in person. On behalf of all the Jinx’s in this world… thank you. Thank you for seeing us.
These stories you write are works of fiction, but sometimes we’re judged so harshly that we start to believe we’re unworthy of love. Your stories always prove otherwise.
And if you can’t tell by this review… yes… I cried. A LOT. 😭

Synopsis:
I swore off men, only to find someone who has set me free.
Mason Vitali
I’ve finally found my perfect sub, but he’s so much more than that.
What started as an accident turned into fate. Or was it fate that caused the accident? Those eyes of his, so full of fear and want. It’s been eight years since I had a sub, and the last one ended in disaster. I swore to myself: never again. Then here comes this young man, desperate to be seen, to be put in his place. He doesn’t realize it yet… but I do. Jinx is full of vinegar and defiance, but get him in the right mood, and he opens up like a beautiful flower in spring. He bends so easily for me, and in the end, I bend for him. He’s so much deeper and special than I ever imagined. I would give everything up for him.
Jinx
I promised myself no more men. Ever.
Mason Vitali scares me. I’m also intrigued. After being trafficked as an infant and sold into prostitution, I finally had my freedom, but I refused to be with another man. Now, following two years of trying to date women and failing miserably, I want to try something new. Mason is willing to give that to me. Little did I know that having him as my Dom had also given me my life back. My control. My autonomy. I was a prisoner in my body and mind. Mason set me free. But like all things in life, we’ve come to a crossroads. Now, I have to decide whether to let him go so he can thrive or stay and let him fail.
