Own Me by Lily X.
4.0
How can I DNF a book and still give it 4 stars? Let me explain.
I requested NEW WORLD: OWN ME from NetGalley based on its description, which pretty much matches the description that you find here in Goodreads. I didn't know anything at all about the book or the series, so I didn't know what to expect outside of what I had read in that description.
What I was expecting, more or less, was a spicy romance. What I got though, was a smoldering bit of light bdsm smut that is beautifully written, but for which I was completely unprepared. Because NW:OM is a little light on plot, I felt awash in this one.
So this book isn't really my mug of mocha, but if you do happen to like gay light bdsm with the chilli meter in ghost pepper territory, then this book is definitely for you!
THANK YOU NetGalley, Lily X, and Carina Press for this ARC.
