Take Her by Cassie Alexander
4.0
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: cliffhanger
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: a few open-door spicy scenes
TWs: birth control tampering (past), death by overdose (recounted), death of a parent (recounted), death of a spouse (while pregnant, recounted), eating disorder, kidnapping, mental hospital setting (recounted), misogyny, murder, PTSD, SA of a minor (recounted, nongraphic), sexism, stalking, suicidal ideation, mentions of suicide, torture
Kinky Content: BDSM club, breeding kink, Daddy kink, Dom/sub dynamics, exhibitionism, finger licking good, fingering, masturbation, “one more”, oral, outdoor sex, praise, public sex, spanking, squirting, voyeurism
standalone: book 1 of The Moth and The Monster series
final thoughts: I’m excited to be back in a new world of Rhaim and Leah! While this is a standalone series from the Transformation trilogy, there are some similarities in the characteristics of the MCs and I’m so excited to see where the story goes. This series is a slowburn but faster burn than the other series (thankfully!).
This series is Wall Street/Mafia with moderately dark elements so please view trigger warnings. I love the BDSM elements in this book and the MCs “meet cute”. There is so much mystery that was introduced in book 1 and I can’t wait for the next book!
I knew to expect a cliffhanger from Cassie for this series, but I still didn’t believe it!
