✱✱ Book Review ✱✱ Truth By His Hand by Casey Cameron

I spent some time with Casey Cameron this weekend. Her latest release, that is. While I don't know much about the BDSM world, Truth By His Hand certainly held my attention.

Momma Says: 4 out 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Truth By His Hand is well-written in first person POV from the perspective of main character, River. There was some confusion about one character and the use of a plural pronoun, but other than that, Cameron's clear and concise writing is on target. It is a MM Romance and BDSM is prevalent throughout, so it goes without saying that the steam level is high and I recommend 18+ readers.

I never thought I’d have a sexual awakening at 34, but, well…here I am: River Burke, novice deviant and master class neurotic mess. With my laundry list of control issues, submission doesn’t exactly come naturally, but I figure if I can find the right person—someone big, buff, and crazy intimidating—maybe I can learn to let go.
And then in walks Ellison Fitch.
He’s not at all what I thought I was looking for, but with his piercing eyes, his too-personal questions, and his brilliant mind, he’s under my skin from the moment we meet. He makes me squirm in all the best ways with nothing but a look and a word, and I can see he loves that as much as I do. I thought I wanted someone to push me around, but it turns out I want someone to take me apart.
While Ellison systematically dismantles every one of my barriers, I can’t help but wonder if he’ll ever drop his for me. Does he even want to let me in, or am I too lost, too broken to fill his needs the way he fills mine? I have to know, because now that I’ve had a taste of submission at his hand, I can’t stop thinking about how good it felt to be on my knees for him.
Let’s be honest here: I’m going to let this man break me into pieces. I only hope he’ll be there to put me back together again.
Truth By His Hand is a 120,000 word contemporary gay romance with strong BDSM themes and many explicit scenes. It’s a standalone novel with a guaranteed happy ending. 



Truth By His Hand is a bit different than what I've come to expect from Cameron and not being part of the BDSM lifestyle, I wasn't sure about how I would connect with this one. The book is quite long and at the beginning, I wasn't sure where it could possibly go that it would need 120K to get there. It didn't take long for understanding to dawn as River's almost OCD tendencies and need for control are revealed. Make no mistake, BDSM is prevalent throughout this book and whether it's accurate or not, I couldn't tell you, but it is certainly erotic and emotional. What I found most interesting was the underlying story of River's self discovery as the relationship to the often closed off Ellison progresses. Both men learn what it is to let go, whether it be in the bedroom or on an emotional level, making for a poignant and captivating story. 


Truth By His Hand is available on Amazon and is listed in Kindle Unlimited.
