Such a yummy little slice of smut. Lots of man pleasing in it which isn't always my favorite - I'm always way more interested in the woman receiving pleasure than vs (it must be my stronger side in my bisexuality) - but considering the dynamics (dark, maybe even a tad bully rom?) I was happy nonetheless. I think Laroux's writing is just stunning and it compliments for good sex scenes.

My only gripe is that for such a small book we didn't necessarily need the man's backstory in this. Especially because his background is abuse and I always tick my head as I wish I could find more BDSM loving scenarios that doesn't spring up from the potential relation of past abuse - but to tie into this as I'm fully aware all walks of life experience different reasoning and different kinks all together irregardless of past (it just seems Bully rom is always in aspects associated with abuse - any recs for the opposite please???) this is too short to of delved further into our guys emotions/mentality of it and it felt just thrown in.

Still highly, highly recommend for a quick afternoon delight kind of read ;)
