I absolutely adored Barney and Magnus’ story. We get introduced to Barney through Jude and Kasper’s story but it’s not necessary to listen it to understand the events in A Silver Fox for Kinkmas (though you should because Jude is awesome and Piers’ performance is amazing!). Barney is one of those people who are a little loud and over enthusiastic because he’s not sure of his place in this world. His love to getting hot and heavy between the sheets hides his emotions and vulnerability. Magnus was a solid choice for Barney. He’s a widower who’s proven that he understand the ups and downs in a relationship while being a solid rock for Barney to lean on. While both MCs are awesome, Bones totally stole the show. Bones is Magnus’ African grey parrot and his timing and comments are perfection. This might sound a little weird but I’ll say that I didn’t expect to find Barney’s big emotion scene as I did. It actually hit me pretty hard in the feels and I found myself tearing up with him. I think I wasn’t quite expecting that reaction because the story is pretty easy, fun, and low angst overall.
I think this may have been the kinkiest out of Colette’s Naughty or Nice books and the one with the most heat. Barney is a one track mind kind of person and he’s hot for Magnus. I really enjoyed this and thought it was a great addition to the Cuff’d series!
Piers has always delivered spectacular performances with the Cuff’d stories and this one was no exception. Bones stole the show because Piers did an INCREDIBLE job of bringing this cheeky bird to life. He truly gets into the emotional scenes has had me tearing up right along with the characters. This one is not to be missed in my opinion!
