This was.. very lackluster erotica. Yes, it's a short story but in 50 pages, I was expecting a more exciting "one night." The exploration of BDSM was poor, the female protagonist was kept crying "woe is me" because she's a bigger woman which turned me off. You can be a bigger woman and still have sex appeal, stop with the self-deprecation! And when they FINALLY had P in V, nothing was described. It was, in my mind, "pump, pump, nut." This short story book is literally "go, girl, give us nothing!" Maybe short story eroticas just aren’t for me.

“Life doesn’t come with Photoshop, sweet girl. This is real and so fucking beautiful.” ❤️🔥
Juliet meets Reed at the adult store she works at when he comes in to make a purchase. The chemistry is bubbling there just under the surface. 🔥 Reed comes in a couple more times and they decide to make an agreement for one night of ✨ fun✨….
Juliet is curvy with strong insecurities regarding her looks. For me it was hard to hear her put so much negativity on herself. The spice was good, but nothing off the charts for me. I felt it needed a POV from Reed. We never really got to hear much about how he was feeling.

FMC is plus size which is great but she is the typical “I hate my body” “this man can’t like me” character.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
Spice: 🔥🔥🔥.5 (or 4...I keep going back and forth on this rating)
Tropes: Age gap, BDSM elements, sensation play, wax play, spanking, a safe word is used and respected (we love that around here), plus size heroine
Triggers: Internalized fatphobia
*Please check triggers before reading*
I saw this book promoted on Tiktok and was immediately hooked when I saw the heroine was plus size and the love interest was an older, hot billionaire. As a plus size woman myself, I'm always looking for representation where the heroine gets the hottest man in the room, and this book gave me that!
I wanted to hug Juliet so bad when I was reading this book. I'm a plus sized woman and many things Juliet said were relatable for me. There was a scene where Juliet panics and falls down, which broke my heart because there's a different level of embarrassment when you fall down as a bigger person. Reed was perfect during that scene, thankfully, but wow did that hit close to home. Juliet did make me laugh when she would say her inner thoughts out loud. At one point, I wrote in my notes, "Is Juliet me? Is B.L watching me for character inspo? 😂" because I felt so similar to her at times. I wouldn't be mad at being Juliet if I get a real life Reed Taylor 😏 By the end of the book, Juliet surprised me with how open she was and dare I say, a bit dominant. Hoping we get to see that side in a future book!
Reed was EVERYTHING I wanted and needed from a love interest for a plus sized woman who struggles with her body image. Reed was attracted to Juliet from the beginning and he wasn't shy about it, even if she didn't believe it was possible. The best part about Reed is the care and respect that he showed Juliet. He wanted her to feel protected, cherished, desired, and respected as a woman and as someone under his care. He constantly checks in with her throughout the night, makes sure she knows how beautiful she is, and reminds her that it's okay to use her safe word. Even when a mutual mistake happens, he apologizes and takes ownership that he should've known better as the Dom in the situation.
I like the spice in this book, but I can't decide on a definitive rating. This book has a lot of elements that are my favorite: age gap, sensation play, wax play (LOVE), and they're done well. I do think I expected it to have a little more spice, which is why this wasn't a five star rating. It's definitely spicy, but something is missing for me. A safe word is used and respected, which is always a personal favorite thing of mine in books because it highlights how important safe words are.
