Synopsis
Matt Simpson is notorious for his bad decisions. From his rocky teenage years to his tumultuous early twenties, he's made a lot of mistakes. His latest, greatest, and perhaps stupidest of them all was his recent pursuit of his boss, the unattainable Steve Paulson. Desperate to make the man notice him, and knowing Steve would never get involved with an employee, Matt quits his job.
Unfortunately, Steve still won’t touch him. To make matters worse, his new job falls through and his older brother won’t hire him. Matt can’t bear to ask Steve for help, and soon he finds himself out of money and out of options. When Steve finds him living in his car and demands that he go home with him, Matt obeys, but living with the man he's wanted for two years proves to be frustrating as well as explosively hot. As Matt begins to explore his submissive side under Steve's firm guidance, his insecurities haunt him. What does a homeless, jobless kid with a string of failures behind him have to offer, even if Steve did want him for more than a brief fling?

Review
What He Craves by E.M. Denning is book two of the Desires series. Like What He Needs, this book can be read as a stand alone without anything lost but I would highly recommend reading What He Needs because it's such a wonderful book. (You can find my review and buy links here.)What He Craves is a story about Steve, a Dom, and Matt, a submissive who is floundering in his life. Steve bought his restaurant and club from his best friend Alan. Steve has a hard hands off limit. He refuses to get involved intimately with his employees no matter what the reason.
In an attempt to have a chance with Steve, Matt quite his job at the restaurant where he worked for Steve for two years. That's when everything went downhill for Steve. The job he had lined up fell through, he got evicted from the tiny apartment he was living at, and his brother turned his back on him. In steps Matt who had been searching for Matt for a month.
I could go further with my telling of this but I won't to avoid spoilers. What I will say is that this is a wonderful story. There were times when I wanted to strangle Matt's brother. Even more so their father. I also wanted to smack Steve and Matt a bit in the beginning for stuffing down their feelings and making themselves so miserable. Yet it was realistic in that aspect which I enjoyed as well. People in life are scared. They don't do things because of the fear, anxiety, self-doubt, and other reasons. It's refreshing to see books show these aspects in the stories that are told within the pages.
A strong recommendation to read this book and What He Craves is given by me to you.
