I don’t have much to say since this is a dark erotic novella so it’s short but despite it, I enjoyed it extremely. I never read a book from Harley Laroux, so I went into this book blind and holy shit was it good. Despite it being short, you couldn’t stop turning the page to see what else would happen. Thanks to tikok I got some glimpses of things but no context so when tiktok said clowns I got confused but fuck man. I haven’t read some good erotica in some time and this book made me a fan of Harley Laroux that’s for sure.

Short, quick and leaves you wanting more. Just check the warnings before reading, because this thing excalates quickly. The only reason it didn't get a higher rating is that it's too short to fit a little more plot. Together with the Losers Duet they're a 5 star read all the way through.

4 Kiss My Boot Stars ⭐
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

You know how hard it was to find this book because it's banned on Amazon. So that should tell you exactly what kind of book it is.

You know when you want something that is basically just smut, this is the perfect little quick read. I love this and found this utterly delightful. It was satisfying, left me hooked enough to want to start the main Novel and it was also utterly toe-curling and pleasurable if you get my meaning...

This story follows Jessica Martin, who was a "little miss popular in school", which obviously means that she was a bitch. She was also a MEGA bitch to Mason Reid. A couple of years later our Prom Queen finds herself at a Halloween party with the said Mr Reid and loses an interesting little game of beer pong that ends with her being his slave for a night. Mason, finds this circumstance extremely refreshing as he has a chance to make his little Miss Perfect just as embarrassed and humiliated as she did to him all those years ago.

Something that I absolutely love about Harley Laroux's books is even though they push the boundary sexually; she is very, very particular about ensuring that the entire thing happening is always consensual. In every book that I have read by her, the men have been pretty stern in making sure that if the woman wants to "tap out" at any point in time or if she doesn't like what's happening, she's in control. So as much as there are aspects of humiliation and degradation, Jess allows this and is not against it.

The reason this is not a full 5 stars is there were parts of this that I thought were incredibly uncomfortable as well as aspects that had me rolling my eyes. I think being a novella made it a little hard to form a connection fully with Jess so I couldn't fully understand why she was allowing this all to happen. IRL me in the same situation would have been screaming OH HELL NO and getting the eff out of dodge!

BUT this does make me super excited to start Losers where I hope to get a little more into her mind as well as see all the kinky stuff those boys are going to do with her... if this was just a small taste of what that book has in store...

Highly recommend this is fast-paced, sexy, enjoyable, perfect little book if you want smut and no plot.
