A review by violette
Takeover by Anna Zabo

3.0

I didn’t expect much going in - I incorrectly assumed that the premise was cheesy in retrospect - but this was a surprisingly sweet romance with two alphas both of whom had some fragility to accept and move past. The sex scenes were off the charts steamy. Hoo boy! I don’t know much about the pain/pleasure side of BDSM and at first I was uncomfortable about the play the MCs engaged in - there were triggers for me re: violence/assault - but in the end it was thoughtfully explained in a way that made sense both to the MCs and to me with my outsider gaze and my own perspectives. I think this book is going to stay with me for a while. I would love to have coffee and beignets with Sam and Mike. ☕️
