Villainous All the Way: A Sweet n Spicy Celebrations Collection by C. Rochelle
5.0
This series has brought me so much joy over the course of its release and this special installment of shorts is no exception to that. I had been coveting them for a while, not being able to afford a pates subscription, so when C. said she was putting them together in this lovely little collection I was ecstatic! They were worth the torturous wait too, I seriously cannot get enough of these characters, their shenanigans, and all the delicious k!nky ways they love each other.
I was particularly excited about getting more of Violentia and Kai, to the point that I almost skipped ahead when the ARC hit my inbox to read them first. But I was a good girl and read them in order, and the delayed gratification was well worth it. I loved their dynamic, loved that Wolfie is vying for bestie spot (and Kai is more than happy to indulge the Goth Mother Hen), and I felt like C. Rochelle handled the “hang up turned surprise for Mommy” part very well. I hope that C. writes more WLW content in the future because her sassy style is perfect for sapphic romance.
The other thing that I was really chomping at the bit to read was the last story, Synesthesia, where we get to finally see the hinted at relationship between Erich and Luca. The way they resonate is so freakin clever and I loved everything about their dynamics — from the aromantic aspects to the way Luca submits to Erich despite him being the weaker and younger man, and the way Erich talks to Luca, calling him Little Beast and Hase is just adorable but hot at the same time. It was also a treat to get a little more history about Luca and his connection to the Suarez family, and towards the end with Luca, Erich, Wolfy and Simon? Nearly cried, like legit cried, because oh my poor sweet, soft Wolfy.
