For starters this was way more intense than I anticipated. Definitely check the trigger warnings before diving in.
You will learn things about yourself reading this. If you're looking for a super erotic sapphic BDSM story, this is it. But let me tell you there is no plot aside from Mistress Morrigan and Aosoth just being incredible, and I loved it.
This is by far the most intense BDSM read I've done. Just when you think the scenes have to be peaking they keep going.
I really appreciated the emphasis on consent throughout the whole book and the insight into what is going on for Brenda in her head as she's running scenes. It emakes everything feel authentic because it is not always perfectly executed and that adds a real humanness factor. I also think so many BDSM books (and even dark romance) are mostly in the subs POV so to get so much of Brenda's own perspective is just great.
You could read this without having read Chloe's other books featuring these characters ("The Mansion" and "The Startup") but I think having read those you'll enjoy it more since you'll already have that background info and context on the characters and their story. I'll definitely be bookmarking some pages to come back to when I need some "inspiration" in the future.
Super grateful to Chloe for the chance to be on her ARC team for this one!

This book is incredibly wonderfully it is sapphic, hot as hell, and tenderly and cleverly written. Read all the TWs before you go into though. Heck, look up what you're getting into first period. Do not stumble into this book. Go with intent.

This was a super fun read!
I loved getting to see Wendy and Brenda in different situations, and with new characters. The dynamics in each of the mini stories were so believable and worked so well. The only thing that would have made this better was getting a bigger glimpse into Wendy and Brenda’s start to their relationship.
Thank you to Chloe and their team for the ARC!

Check the author's website for list of trigger and content warnings. ⚠️
This is a spicy collection of six sapphic tales of BDSM consent featuring Brendy and Wendy and their darker sides the author has hinted at in previous books (The Mansion and The StartUp).
I love the way the banter is written, it's spicy but also definitely made me laugh a few times. I also love that consent is always noted with check-ins. This book is definitely a green light!

Check your trigger warnings before reading, please. This is not for the faint of heart. The trigger warnings are on Chloe Slates’ website.
You’re going to learn some things about yourself while reading these, probably, well mostly. Who knows. But it’s exciting. Honestly I usually read right through books no matter what, but this I needed a bit of a break between the stories. Cause just wow.
Sexy stories and a lot of fun. Brenda and Wendy are adventurous and the sexcapdes (if that’s what you want to call them, but are they really?) are exciting. Taking themselves to different heights and exploring themselves. Such a fantastic read and fun with their adventures. It’s great to see how they are before The Mansion and how they come into their own. I love how in each story they show care for each individual in the scene. Beyond just spicy and erotic, these stories show different ways things can go. ARC review.
