While this was an interestingly different take on the popular dom/sub trope with more sadism and pain, I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the pair, plus I'm not the biggest fan of pain play, so unfortunately I won't be continuing the series.

I read this and I liked it a lot, but I am in an impasse right now. It mostly has to do with how many books are there going to be in this series and am I ready for the commitment? I have zero patience when it comes to waiting for a new book or chapter, reason why I don't go into ongoing series. I just have to have it all now or I lose interest. I really should have looked this up before starting reading it, because I liked it, but ugh, I don't think I'm ready for the commitment. I should also, probably, read the other series, but 36 books, although 30-50pages each, makes me think about the other books I want to read. I don't know, I'll have a think about it.
On topic: I didn't actually get a grip of Ewan and Nate, although they seem likeable. The first instalment leaves you wanting more of them, see how they would manage. It also ended in a sort of cliff-hanger, and I'm not sure how to feel about that. I don't particularly like or dislike cliff-hangers, but having to wait for the next book for a while would rip out my interest. At this point I am willing to wait until the series is complete and then plunge into both of them.
Into the series. Both of the series.
I also couldn't find any info on the author's site, the last book mentioned there has already been released two books ago according to Goodreads, so I obviously can't rely on the site. But anyway, the point is the series holds a lot of promise, it might be really fun. I might or might not continue reading it, but leaving aside my concerns, by all means, go for it. I honestly can't think of anything I didn't like, apart from the wonder of why is it so damn short.
Edit: I decide I'm going to read up to the third book (possibly the short two stories as well) since that apparently makes up the first season, then I'll think about it. I really liked the first book, and I need some sort of ending, regardless of if I am going to read the whole series or not.
