“For the record, I’m scared to death right now. But I guess that’s what makes this a truly penitent act.”

A sexy enemies to lovers erotic romance. This isn't the first reformed childhood bully storyline I've read, and I do like it! This wasn't as well done as others I've read, because of how short it was, but it's still enjoyable. The majority of this is erotica, but it still has a decent amount of character writing and emotional hooks that kept me interested. There were a couple aspects to the story/kink that I didn't love, but nothing major. A fun little short.

huh, I didn't think I was going to like it very much, because I'm grudge holder, but I love when characters are like Juliet, take back the narrative and get to live some good fantasy while at it.

3 stars. Drew had a slight humiliation kink going on and while that’s not my jam I did like the way O’Brien wrote it. Yes, that was the biggest stand out of this story for me because I’m a perv, shut up. Juliet and Drew knew each other from high school where Drew bullied Juliet and made her life a living hell because she was repressed and afraid to come out. They meet again as Drew has unknowingly hired Juliet as an escort and the tension was high between them even as Juliet was (rightfully so) still pissed at her. I liked the chemistry between the two and the smut was well written but there was something about it that I just didn’t love. Still fun though.

Steamy story of forgiveness

Good short story about a high school bully's atonement for homophobic taunts. Giving her first time with a woman to her previous victim.
