Slow Hand by Nora Phoenix

5.0

This is my second time reading this book and, if possible I love it even more than the first that put it in my top five books I read in 2022. The love and hurt/comfort and healing that takes place is absolutely everything! The difference in the MC's personalities is vast and yet I love each one dearly. It's such a skill that Nora has. I may not have read all their books, but a good number and almost all their MCs vary greatly from each other while being completely full and human. That is not something all writers can do!

Her understanding of BDSM is also something I don't see often. Though it's pretty high protocol. You do NOT want to get me started on Doms that require their friends to use honorifics. I generally avoid people who do that. However, obviously I adore Ford. He just prefers high protocol and I try to respect that and not be annoyed. lol

For those who prefer strict top/bottom
Spoiler even though Ford stays the Dom, he is vers and a "size queen". Also, at the end he does submit to Jathan for specific scenes. That is more difficult for me and honestly, I skip those scenes and it's fine.


If you love hurt/comfort, sweetness that will overflow your heart, and all the love (and kink, you've got to like kink for this one :P ) this is a book for you!
