Adrian DeSoto spent most of his time in high school being bullied and beaten up, simply because he was perceived as gay. Always slight, effeminate, he was the perfect victim for guys like Martin Cavanaugh, one of the high school jocks. When it all got too much, Adrian was faced with two options, one more devastating than the other. Eleventh grade saw a new Adrian, one who hid his fears and pain behind a mask in a bid to survive.
Eleven years later, and Adrienne is one of the top drag acts in Orlando. She's fierce, funny, and exuberant. A face from the past gives her a shock, and after that there's only one thing on her mind - revenge.
Marty Cavanaugh has a particular kink. He loves it when a drag queen goes down on him. But that's as far as it goes. He won't admit to himself what's under that tight fitting dress. And then he meets Adrienne and his whole world goes into a tailspin...
Warning - Contains men in drag, honey! You have been warned.

This was really disappointing...the plot sounded great and I was excited to read it but the prologue is so long I forgot who the other MC was and when he's introduced he's portrayed as a creep and it never really wore off for me. Marty takes far too long to realise he was a tool in high school and even longer to apologise to Adrian - who in fact apologises first for getting a little well deserved revenge and is actually chastised by his friends for wanting that revenge. What Marty never apologises for is his behaviour towards the queens which borders on harassment in Adrienne's case. When they do sort out their issues there's no real relationship development at all and overall I probably would've enjoyed reading about the queens and the club without Marty ever making an appearance at all.Product details

See Me Lightning Tales Volume 3 (Audible Audio Edition) KC Wells Joel Leslie Books Reviews
See Me is a story of revenge backfiring and hurting not only the victim of the payback scheme but also the retaliator. Adrian was so bullied in high school that he became seriously depressed. Marty and his friends attacked Adrian for being gay, and although Marty wasn’t involved in actually beating Adrian, he stood by and did not stop it, making him as much a bully as the others.
Flash forward a few years and Adrian has found a life he loves as the beautiful drag queen Adrienne. She has friends, is talented, and enjoys life. She has recognized one of the regulars in the audience is Marty, and she is not happy to see him. Marty, on the other hand, does not recognize Adrienne as Adrian, and is smitten with her. He keeps sending her notes asking her to see him after the show. What he really wants is for Adrienne to go down on him, as his not-so-secret kink is getting bj’s from drag queens.
KC Wells has done her research and gets under the skin and costumes of what it means to be a drag queen. Her use of the male and female pronouns are perfectly placed to indicate when a man sees himself as a female drag queen and when he sees himself as a man.
This is a sweet story of love realized almost too late. The bullying is emphasized as devastating and the difficulty of overcoming the trauma is not made inconsequential. Guilt on the part of the bully and lifelong damage on the part of the victim are evident and made critical to the story. It is through the kindness and strength of character of the victim that this story has a happy ending. A very enjoyable book in the excellent Lightning Tales series, and one I recommend highly.
See Me is the third title in the Lightning Tales series and follows Teach Me and Trust Me. I read Teach Me not too long ago but am ashamed to admit that I managed to somehow miss Trust Me. It is an oversight that will be remedied in the not too distant future because these are wonderful stories. What makes these books even better is that characters from one book reappear in supporting roles in the subsequent tales. And I always thoroughly enjoy reacquainting myself with protagonists I enjoyed reading about.
See Me starts with a glimpse of a deeply unhappy Adrian in high school. In fact, he’s so desperate that Ric, who finds him crying in the library, is afraid Adrian may harm himself…or worse. Adrian however does the exact opposite and embraces his ‘otherness’. Eleven years later, Adrian has landed on his feet and is in his element both as himself and as Adrienne, the stunning drag queen.
Former bully Marty on the other hand is deeply unhappy. Friendless, bullied by his father and so deep in the closet he doesn’t even realise he’s in there, his life is almost completely focussed on remaining invisible.
As Adrienne’s colleagues know only too well, Marty has a kink. He loves getting blow jobs from drag queens. When he approaches Adrienne for one, unaware of who she really is, she sees the perfect opportunity to get her own back on one of the boys who made her high school years a living nightmare. However, revenge is seldom as sweet as advertised and issues are rarely as black or white as they appear. Both Adrian and Marty are in for an eye-opening but ultimately rewarding journey.
K.C. Wells tells this wonderful story with her usual flair. Despite the subject matter, the story isn’t overly angsty, although bullying is by no means swept under the carpet or trivialised. As anybody who has ever been bullied knows, the effects linger long after the bullying itself has stopped. What those who were on the receiving end of this form of abuse often don’t realise is that it can also leave a lasting impression on those who did the bullying. In See Me K.C. Wells highlights both those aspects without rubbing our noses in it or even trying to make a point. She’s not playing a blame game. Instead she’s given us two men who struggle with the legacy of their high school years and find a way to overcome those issues.
Before I give you the impression this story is heavy going, let me reassure you. While there are thought provoking moments in this story, there are at least as many scenes which will have you either grinning or laughing out loud. But then, isn’t that what you’d expect when you put a group of drag queens together in a story? Of course the sexy times are as tasteful as they are hot, the dialogue sparkling and the glimpses into the world of drag fascinating.
In short, this was a wonderful read. Even now, hours after I finished reading the epilogue, I still have a grin on my face.
good story
My only complaint is the unsafe sex. Spoiler alert two in-store partners should not have unprotected oral sex. Especially if one of them had multiple partners. But the story is very good otherwise.
This was really disappointing...the plot sounded great and I was excited to read it but the prologue is so long I forgot who the other MC was and when he's introduced he's portrayed as a creep and it never really wore off for me.

What Marty never apologises for is his behaviour towards the queens which borders on harassment in Adrienne's case. When they do sort out their issues there's no real relationship development at all and overall I probably would've enjoyed reading about the queens and the club without Marty ever making an appearance at all.
