The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham
4.0
Seraphina meets Adam while she is back home to write the memoirs of her early life and the man who ruined her. She thinks he looks like he'd be perfect for a bit of summer fun, but Adam regretfully turns her down, he has his family to think about and his job as well(he's an architect).
Adam eventually changes his mind because even though he turned her down he very much wants her. They begin fooling around, all the while people are posting flyers on her gates and leaving dead birds on her terrace trying to scare her and her loose morals out of town.
This was one of the more interesting sexual relationships I've seen in a book in the sense of while it's descriptive, penetration isn't a big part of it, it's more about all the other fun stuff you can do with a partner. The emotions from him and her pretending she has none was a fun dynamic as well.
