This book was recommended to me by a friend. I loved the plot/idea of the story. This guy trying to find himself after being with an extremely abusive partner. He learns to find himself and find real love. A tremendous undertaking of a story... However, I think the author fell short. I love short erotic stories, just like my long ones. So, I am not one of those readers who buys a book knowing it is a short (or not paying attention to the size of the story) then getting pissed because it wasn't longer.That is not what I am saying. Simply that this story dealt with such a HEAVY issue that being a short story could not do it justice. It was chopped into scenes to allow you to deal with Dillon's growth and change instead of allowing the story to smoothy flow. I would give better examples but I don't do spoilers for other readers. So, do I recommend this, yes. Would I read it again, no. I did enjoy it, but I don't feel as if it should be added to my "read again" list.
Plot: 5
Execution: 3
Overall: 3.5
Note to author: Don't be afraid to push back a release date just to make sure you can write the story in the capacity it needs. So, many individuals deal with a lot of the relationship trama as Dillon, bravo to you for taking it on, just don't stop the true growth of the story to meet a deadline.
Note to your editor: Don't be afraid to tell the author when they need to expand a scene or story to allow it to be the BEST it can be.

Dillon Prayer Blake Deveraux 9781604358322 Books Reviews
Blake does not shy away from anything in this book. It is written well and he has created a very believable story. While he said it was not for the person looking for a fluff book, it is still a love story, though not an easy one. Thanks Blake!!
Dillon's Prayer, aside maybe for the title, was not what I was expecting. The author bio said "my books have an edge that most erotic books in the "gay" genre generally don't have. For one they are actually written by a man" and he said "I genuinely enjoy other authors as well but felt that there was something missing from the work". So yes, since I'm used to read erotic books written by men, I was probably expecting for this books to have a "dark" edge, maybe to be very explicit, less bed of roses and more down and dirty. But I was totally wrong.
First of all, even if dealing with a D/s relationship gone wrong, Dillon's Prayer is not a BDSM erotic book. Actually it's not even an erotic romance. There are sex scene, but they are pretty tamed in comparison to other books I have read, and it's more about the healing process of Dillon than about the sex. Now don't get me wrong, Dillon and other men in the novel talk about bad sexual experience, there are memories about past rape they suffered, but it's in their memory and it's not part of the plot.
If I was expecting for the novel and the characters to be less emotional since they were penned by a man, again I was wrong; actually in some points they were even too emotional, but it was not a "too much" to border the unrealistic, it was more that these men were able to express their emotions without being feminine... actually I think the author wanted to avoid it highlighting the gay men in the novel are all very masculine outside, but they have a sweet core.
There is a character I found, for my own experience, to be a dream if he was real the catholic priest who is more than welcoming of his gay parishioners. I'm not writing off he is not possible in real world, only that I would make him a saint if he was.
Said that, the novel had a lot of points where it could have lapsed into drama the brother who is deployed in a war zone, the underage kid, the traumatic past, even an accident to a beloved pet... but all in all the author managed to write them all without making it a dive into angst. As first experience with a novel by this author, I would say it's a positive one.
