Having moved out east, Matt and Adam have renovated the big old house they bought, turning it into The Briar Rose, a BDSM B&B. With Adam's experience as a professional sub and Matt's patience and knowledge, they hope to help other couples find their way in the BDSM lifestyle.
Their first guests are Jackson and Burger, a well-known singer and his manager. The couple are not exactly what Adam and Matt expect, but they do what they can to help the other men learn to communicate and find trust.
Singer Jackson has just had an operation on his vocal chords and has been ordered not to speak for at least two weeks, something he's having a hard time doing. Burger brings Jackson to the Briar Rose in the hopes of not only keeping the singer resting and quiet, but in rekindling their on-again-off-again love affair and making it on-again, permanently. Can they find what they need at The Briar Rose?
Matt and Adam first appeared in Sold, a Hammer novel, and are the foundation for the Briar Rose series.

Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 7/10
PROS:
- I liked seeing how Adam and Matt, who originally appear in Sold, have grown as a couple. My favorite thing to see was how Adam doesn't stress as much about food.
- My expectation of the structure of the story wasn't at all how the story ended up progressing. What amused me the most about this was that Adam's and Matt's expectations were in line with mine, so I got to see the two men puzzling out how to handle things when their guests don't turn out to be quite how they imagined.
- I love how Sean Michael shows his characters' thoughts as a part of the exposition rather than putting in a bunch of "he thought"s all over the place. Instead of something like this, for example--"Wasn't that nonsense? Jackson thought"--Michael writes it like this: "Nonsense. Right? Nonsense?"
- Most of the BDSM scenes this author writes in his various stories are private: two or three men in their own home or in a secluded room at a club. Occasionally there's a scene that takes place on a stage for the purpose of entertaining a crowd. In this story, there's a scene that is performed for a small audience, but the purpose of the scene is education rather than titillation. I liked it.
CONS:
- I wanted there to be a bit more of an epiphany in Burger and Jackson's relationship. They're together for good at the end, and they're acting like most of the important issues have been worked out, but I didn't get to SEE them all get worked out. So I felt as though as least a couple of key scenes had been left out of their story.
- I know I mention this in almost every Sean Michael review I write, but it's a persistent problem, so I feel compelled to keep bringing it up. The editing could use some serious help. Some of the issues are minor, like the book's title referring to the Bed and Breakfast as the "Briar Rose" when it's referred to as the "Rose Briar" within the story. Other issues are obvious and could have been caught with a simple read-through.
Overall comments: I would certainly recommend reading Sold first if you plan on reading this story. I thought Burger and Jackson's story was just so-so, and the chapters concerning Adam and Matt will have a lot more meaning for you if you've got an idea of how they met and what their background is.

Hoarse Play A Briar Rose Story edition by Sean Michael Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The lovely couple Jackson and Burger come to the Briar Rose BDSM B&B. They discover their deep love and connection through some rough play. This rough play is prompted and demonstrated by the owner Matt and Adam who are attempting to start their unique new business idea. In the end Jackson and Burger are closer than ever with all their relationship "issues" worked out. This is all due to the assistance of Matt and Adam and some time away from the lime light.
The idea for the BDSM B&B us brilliant for starters. The characters were will developed and the pacing was spot on. I had a slight issue with the almost identical way that the two couples spoke to each other. It almost seemed like the author might have been writing the same dialogue or he could be suggesting the couples are not as different as they seem in the beginning. I am not sure of the reason for it so I had to take a star away but that was my only issue.
This book is a great start for a new series. I loved Adam and Matt in Sold so i was very interested in how their new business was working out. This book didn't disappoint. I'm a big fan of Sean Michael and can't wait for more!
This follows the characters in Michael's book, Sold. It was nice to know what they did after they left the Hammer and this seems like the first of many in the Briar Rose series.
The book was enjoyable but way too short for the price. I cannot afford to pay this much money for a 40 minute read so I won't be buying anymore unless either the price comes way down or the word count goes way up.
I liked the concept, the Briar Rose, a B&B for folks to go explore the BDSM lifestyle. I don't think that Burger and Jackson were the best first characters for this new series. There really wasn't much BDSM in it, it didn't seem to be what they were looking for. The setting was great, it was good to see Adam and Matt, but there just wasn't much to this. It was okay, the writing was pretty good, the healing Jackson finds was valuable, but it just didn't live up to my expectation of a good BDSM story.
Looking forward to more in this series, Sean has it nicely set up, I just hope he gives us more next time.
