Diablo by Cora Rose
5.0
Book safety, content warnings, and tropes & tags down below.
“You never stick a fork in an electrical appliance.” He rolls his eyes at me, and I grab his wrist tighter, wrenching the fork from his hand. “I’m serious. Don’t do it.” I have a feeling Diablo now wants to do it just because I told him not to. I can see him in the middle of the night, sneaking over to the toaster to try it. Just to see if I’m right.
My first Cora Rose book, and I am definitely going back and reading more from this series. I gotta admit I found Diablo to be exhausting in the beginning, but when his facade started to crack and we could see the vulnerable boy underneath all the mouthing off, he just made me cry a little. And if it wasn’t sad, it was really hot, or made me laugh. Highly entertaining, and I would definitely recommend.
Diablo snorts so loudly he chokes, slapping his knee and turning purple. I debate pulling the car over to do the Heimlich and then decide to let him ride it out. He deserves to choke. The little shit.
Skylar grew on me more and more during the book as well, especially when he responded with tenderness instead of anger in the face of massive tantrums, lol. That’s a patient man right there. I am also a massive fan of size differences, so this one was *chefs kiss*
I have never in my life been touched like this. Tenderly, almost reverently. I hate it. Hate that I want it. Hate that when this is all over I have something to look back on and yearn for.
I haven’t read a lot of it, but I thought the dub-con and CNC was done really well here. It was hot instead of making me uncomfortable.
“Diablo! For fuck’s sake!” My lips turn up as I realize that he’s found the cactus in his duffle. I pricked my hand a thousand times grabbing it and regret nothing.
“Is that what this is now? Exclusivity?” “You want to share?” My stomach churns at the thought. “No. If you fucked someone else, I’d have to commit murder.”
