Ok so...I went to Reddit and found a thread all about smutty books. I left a comment saying exactly what I was looking for and a ton of people recommended this book (thank you, beautiful book people).
I was looking for a vampire romance novel with decent writing, but also a lot of smut, and I wanted the male character to be nice and kinda intellectual, like not a stereotypical macho annoying guy, but very primal in the bedroom if you get my drift. This is definitely the situation in this book. I really liked the characters. Anyway, my consensus is...
The smut is smutting. This book was definitely what I was looking for.
A few things:
There is some CNC but the author does a fantastic job of giving a trigger warning in the beginning of the book. The characters also talk about exactly what they want/what is allowed and adhere to that - it's great! So it's also a great example of good communication in that type of relationship.
Some of the spicy scenes felt a little repetitive. There's a LOT of the same type of spicy thing. So if it's not your thing, then this book might not be for you.
It's certainly not Shakespeare, but the writing style was great for what it is. And let's face it, you're there for smut anyway.
Also you don't have to read the books in any order - this book can act as a standalone and it pretty much wraps up ok at the end. You can dive into this one first if you want.
I'm excited to read more from this author.
