5.0

 When you think "Touch HER and Die" is top tier, W.S Greer unexpectedly flips it and turns the, "Touch HIM and Die" trope into a *chef's kiss* story!

I love the vivid and imaginative stories that come from this author's mind, but this one... this one was so damn good. I devoured book one, The Darkest Kink, so when I saw he was finishing the duet, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this story.

If you are unfamiliar with Greer's stories, trust me when I say this man can write a romance story from both the male and female perspectives and make you crave both. He's written a range of lighter stories to this dark thriller romance. With a primary focus on BDSM dynamics, he is able to give you a glimpse of what a healthy dynamic can look like, as well as tip-toe around the line of what a very unhealthy dynamic will look like. How May I Please You is a perfect example of when a dynamic is beyond a healthy boundary and driven by pure chaos.

The two main characters that you meet in this duet are unhinged and driven by a destructive, carnal desire for one another. Boundaries are not only crossed but are obliterated with the notion of doing this out of their altered description of love and protection.

Highly recommend this book for those who love dark romance.

W.S. Greer has been and will continue to be an auto-read author for me.
