Once a Brat

It was refreshing to read about a sub that felt no need to act submissive toward other Doms besides his own. However, I was a little annoyed by the instalove:

“I loved you the first moment I set eyes on you, sir.”

Why? What drew Bret's attention to Marcus that first night?

Just one week after their first scene together, Bret thought:

Marcus was essential to his survival. His heart wouldn't be able to beat without him.

Again, what makes Marcus so special to Bret? No explanation is ever given for this immediate devotion. After finishing the book, I know nothing about Marcus other than that he's a Dom and he likes Bret's cheekiness.

It was a nice light read, but it definitely lacked depth.
