I was looking for something short, sweet dangerously fun and this checked all the boxes. This was dark and sexy age gap that I didn't mind. NOT for the fait of heart but if you like dark blackmail and black males this if for you. 

Imma keep my eyes open for the other books in this series!!

I really enjoyed this one! It was a fun time, and I liked the character dynamics. I do wish we got a bit more development in the beginning, and I think I would have liked to see a little more time given to the story overall. But it was really fun, and I'm excited to see what might come next!

Final Rating: Starred (recommended)



I did want to make mention of this after my review (because this will not affect my review rating): I purchased a physical copy of the book. I do think this was formatted more so for a digital copy because there were text messages that printed incredibly small (so small, I could not read them). In addition, there were several spelling errors that left me with some confusion when I came across them. These are minor, though, and they did not affect my rating, as I said.

This was a sizzling hot read.

I enjoyed this debut novella. It had great kind representation and authenticity. The kinks were represented well, and as a reader, I appreciated how the author took the time to research and ensure everything was accurate. I also enjoyed the character banter. Both Wendell and Emerald were so raw and honest. They didn’t shy away from being themselves and never failed to remind people that they would still air shit out if needed. I loved Wendell specifically because I appreciated how comfortable he made Emerald feel. He didn’t force him to have it all figured out. Additionally, I loved how I walked away having learned something new from this story. I learned about a lot of kinks I wasn’t aware of, which left me appreciating the kink spectrum so much more.

There were some things that fell flat for me. It took me a while to grasp what was happening in the book. By the time I did, the story was almost over. It seemed there were some holes in the plot, and even with some context at the beginning, it was still difficult to put everything together.

Overall, this was a good debut. I truly appreciated how much research and care was put into writing this. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.
