Let's Play a Game by Lindsay Murray

5.0

This was my first read from this author, but it won’t be my last!

Meghan is a submissive in the kink world, and has been feeling a bit lost since her prior Dominant just left her out of the blue. He comes back into town five years later and hopes to make it up to her by setting her up with a mystery Dominant, who is looking for a D/s dynamic but also a deeper connection. Meghan and her new Dominant agree to his game, where she stays blindfolded and has no idea who he is while they play.

Watching these two fall for each other in such creative circumstances was honestly so beautiful to read. Somehow it worked so well even in its novella form; their chemistry was palpable. The mystery and game was just so much fun to read, not to mention the kink representative! I very infrequently read books that accurately portray or shed light on this lifestyle in a healthy way (often it’s a feature in dark romance, which is a personal favorite, but not as realistic).

I loved watching Meghan’s confidence grow with her new dynamic, and even seeing into how the Club worked. The writing was honestly phenomenal, like… one of the best I have read in this genre for both traditionally published and indie author alike. I can’t wait to read more of this indie author’s work, and I hope you do too!
