Read Online Moving On Depicted By Fabian Black Paperback

is a young man haunted by his past who keeps on the move when it catches up with him, However he hooked up with Thomas, an older man who dominates him and things are going pretty well for them as Andrew thrives with the rules.
However the past leaps up and he runs, When Thomas finally finds him a month later he forces the issue and they have to deal with his past and Andrews propensity to escape into alcohol or run whenever the memories get too great.
Its all told from Andrews point of view so you dont get to know much about Thomas except what Andrew shows you and I never felt there was a great passion between the two.
Not that I didnt think they loved each other, but that Andrew was kind of only with him because of circumstances rather than true love.
It also hopped around in time which I didnt mind actually and I loved Bob the cat but I didnt feel really connected to the relationship.
However, I did like Andrew a lot and felt for him personally, This was a very strange book, Jenre said it all in sitelink her review, Andrew really isn't someone I like, or could like, And Thomas does seem like a nice man, but I'm just not feeling him, Overall, this book is like a collection of irrational tantrums that serve no purpose whatsoever, and inadequate solutions that never turn into anything other than spankings.


Their relationship is just something I do not understand and on that note I could not connect to the story at all.
I realize that RL relationships aren't all sugar and sweets, but even with the dose of reality between them there should still be something else, something a bit deeper.
Unfortunately I couldn't find that something, Andrew acts like a spoiled brat, does damage to himself, others and property while Thomas fixes it all with a hard spanking and a few neatly placed proverbs.

In the whole book they don't have a civil and fruitful conversation, something that would actually help solve their problems, instead Andrew insults constantly and guess how Thomas approaches the situation With a spanking, of course.
It took more than/s of the book for any emotion at all to come out other than resentment and animosity and even then it wasn't all that believable.


All in all, it was an ok book, Not something I'll remember or something I would recommend, I think I just didn't understand it,

But the artist did a wonderful job on the cover,.

This is the second Fabian Black book Ive read and while its ok Im not sure I was invested enough in the characters to care.
Additionally this book feels so incredibly close to the other Black book The Jack and Danny Chronicles that I worry this authors books will all be very similar.
There seems to be a familiar pattern with older men and incredibly bratty, immature younger men that are involved in a punishment spanking relationship.
There is no on page sex and the chemistry is often offset by the bratty behavior thus leaving the relationship without a lot of heat or passion.
Instead the charm is supposed to come from the bratty narrators and this is where the book loses me personally,

Once again we have a younger, immature first person narrator this time named Andrew, Andrew is suffering tremendous guilt over the suicide of his twin sister and often feels as though he doesnt deserve any happiness.
To compound the problem Andrew is often directionless and shiftless, needing the strong hand of Thomas to keep him from spiraling out of control.
Unfortunately Andrew is rarely honest with Thomas and often lapses into selfish, self centered destructive behavior,

I liked Andrew somewhat better than Danny in the previous book although their behavior is almost identical, At least in this book Andrew had some deep underlying emotional issues that prompt his behavior, That doesnt make the behavior ok and more often than not I wanted to shake Andrew for his selfish, totally immature actions.
Andrew careens through the book from one destructive path to another, The consequences of his behavior are often spanking or paddling, depending on the transgression, but through it all Andrew rarely takes any responsibility.
Andrew frequently breaks Thomas rules and has temper tantrums in many public places, Through it all Thomas responds with a quiet strength and dignity,

Unfortunately Thomas motivations are largely mysterious and other than enjoying the punishment dynamic, Im not sure what Thomas gets out of the relationship.
It doesnt feel passionate and long lasting, instead Thomas provides a fatherly direction for Andrew while Andrew petulantly acts out, I would have like some on page sex scenes only to see a more intense emotion and some passion between the two men instead of just a punishment orientated relationship.
I wouldnt even call this BDSM though if it is, its incredibly mild at best,

I also had some issues with the writing as the British phrasing is awkward and tries too hard in many places.
Descriptors such as “psychoanalytic sigh” just kept dragging me out of the narrative, similar to the editing mistakes that were present.
The story tends to tell rather than show and Andrews voice is a key to the success of the story, If you find him charming, sympathetic, or engaging, then youll likely enjoy the novella, If you, like me unfortunately, find him selfish and immature then the story likely wont work as well, Fans of this author are likely to enjoy this offering as it reads very close to the other novel Ive read and the familiar arc and character development will appeal to those fans.

This seemed like it had a lot of potential, in terms of the storyline, I liked how it took a while for the reason behind Andy's need to move on slowly unraveled, What didn't work for me was the spanking, I'm not sure but I don't think there was any sex, just punishmentspanking, And a lot of it, The love between the two men Their relationship seemed symbiotic, and I think each was what the other needed, loved the story a lot of emotions and i also found myself laughing at times however the spanking and the paddling isn't my cup of tea i still havebooks to read from Fabian and i'm sooo looking forward to it I found this domestic discipline story beautifully melancholic and haunting.
I love the notion of two imperfect and ordinary people each finding what they need in the other, The fourth section dragged a tiny bit in the middle, but the story still had me dabbing tears from my eyes.


.stars, rounded up. I thought this book could be so much more than it was, I loved the premise of the story, and the book description seemed promising, Overall, the writing was pretty good, and the writing style, if a bit old fashioned or stiff, seemed wellmatched for the story, or specifically, for Thomas.


In the end though, the book failed to draw me in as much as it could/should have, Given the emotional nature of the plot line, I should have felt more invested in the characters, I believe this occurred for two reasons : too much telling not showing, particularly at times when there is/should have been high emotional impact, and the stereotypical nature of the characters themselves.
There was so much of a presence of master/leader and undisciplined child I really kind of felt I was reading a father/son story which kind of creeped me out.
Outside of the bratty moments, i did rather like Andrew, Thomas I found harder to understand,

Further, the book was heavy on the discipline, but seemed light on the loving/nurturing side, I get that the discipline is showing carig, and while there was cuddling, i was hoping for somewhat more overt expressions of their feelings not just sex! In the end, it was OK an interesting read, but not quite what I had hoped.
Very powerful story that packed quite a punch in not many pages, Andrew is haunted by his past and can't seem to find happiness in his life, He keeps trying to run, but he finds he can't outrun his past, . . or his Dom Thomas. Very good m/m romance about a young man who's been escaping from his past via alcohol and staying on the move until a dominant older man gives him a ride.
Love it. The story need editing and some scene were a little bizarre but what make the Moving On's the relation between Andrew and Thomas.
Well done.

After reading some of the other reviews I noted that some people didn't knew what this story was about before reading it and did not seems to

understand what's a Domestic Discipline dynamic.
Funny to read the reaction people had at the reading of a spanking scene without sex, I actually like this book more than my star rating shows, I like everything else in it except a few places in part three where Thomas' actions feel wrong to me, If you write a domestic discipline book it's crucial that the actions of the Dom are right, always right, he must be trustworthy.
Unless you deliberately write something where the Dom makes a mistake and that is then dealt with, But that was not the case here, Here, I think the writer just wrote something I couldn't understand, not even during my second read of the book, I still cannot understand the severe punishment after Andrew took the stairs two at a time and started coughing, he was already going upstairs to take the demanded bath, wasn't he I also cannot understand this: “not even death by drowning could save you from the retribution you have coming for letting yourself slide into this state.
” Still, there was no punishment for that, and should there even have been No, punishments must be for clearly definable deeds.
In addition, when Andrew came back to Thomas' house because he didn't have any other place, Thomas shouldn't have just had sex with him, he should at least have explained Andrew can just stay, to make sure sex is not any kind of payment for a roof over Andrew's head.


Do I make the book sound bad It's not, not as a whole, It's in fact a very beautiful, but very sad, story, well worth reading, I even liked Thomas. It's just that those places in part three prevent me from giving it a better rating, a rating that it would otherwise deserve.


Try it if you'd like to read a sad, touching story,
