What's the best way to get over a woman breaking your heart? Find a new one to chase... literally!
Del and Mariah have both had some pretty crap luck when it comes to their love lives lately. Then applying for a photo session between complete strangers with a local photographer lands in both of their paths bringing them face to face. A spark ignites and their stranger session doesn't feel like they are strangers anymore. When it comes to an end they are obligated to go their separate ways even if all they can think about is each other. But sometimes it's hard to ignore that strong of a connection, which can drive a man to do anything to find it again. And I do mean - Anything. π
Let me tell you that entire moment during their photo shoot I could feel the sexual tension between the two. I wanted them to forget about the photographers altogether and just go for it anyway right then and there lol! However, I liked how Lauren continued the story beyond that and the kinks that she brought into it. There's nothing like a little bit of suspense mixed in with the spice to make it even more enjoyable. And my lord the somno part just hit the friggin spot! π₯΅ The only complaint I think I even have is that I wish that scene had been longer cause I couldn't get enough of it! π
Oh and even though I expected there to be something involving bodily fluids and some other substance coming together (no pun intended π) I still didn't see this particular one happening but I'm not going to lie... I didn't hate it lol! Such a possessive nightmare - I friggin love it! π
I think it's safe to say Lauren is a master of dark and spicy novellas. I haven't read one yet that didn't feel like it was perfectly paced to the point I forget that it is a novella until I see the words βThe Endβ. It always seems like I've read such a longer book without feeling like it was rushing through the story. This is definitely one you should add to your list to read this year!
