Not much of a "Thrill"
I get it's a 32 page book but it moved really fast...no attachment to characters. Didn't even describe how they looked. Also pretty cheesy dominant/sub relationship... Ending also left a lot to be desired, y not write a couple hundred page book at least instead of 4 short stories...

Horrifyingly awful book, where the main character is rescued from abuse by a ahem "hero" who then abuses her in worse ways in what we are expected to believe is love? Simply horrible.

fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

While it's not the best book, i did get it for free.
and beggars cannot be choosers. I will not be reading the rest of the short stories that are left in this mini series.

I’m kind of being generous with the third star when I want to give it two. I can understand a book being a quick read and wanting to get to the good stuff but I felt like it was too rushed. There just could’ve been more build up between the two MCs. I know there’s a few other books after this but I definitely don’t like how it ended… a cliffhanger I can deal with a little lol

Thrill was not a very good read. If it were not so short I wouldn't have finished it.
Hannah's is not having a very good day. First her jerk of a boss trashes her presentation, then this infuriatingly good looking guy is nice to her on the street, then it turns out he is her companies next big client. She shouldn't want him, but immediately she just cannot say no to him. She wants him cause...I don't know. He is good looking and just has this hold over her. Ugh. Really she comes off as this weak, naive girl who I just didn't care about at all. And Brandon? Well he is all alpha male dominant and wants a submissive. Sure, I like that, but not the way this was written. I just kept thinking what am I reading? Is this like a 50 Shades wannabe? I have never read 50 Shades so I cannot say, but this seems to be like what people say it is. I don't know.
These two quickly jump to sexy time with Brandon immediately wanting to dominate her. He will own her. My real problem is at first she keeps saying no, but yes at the same time so it was like wait - are you okay with this? You are not being very clear right now. Because if you are not okay with this then this is not cool...For example:
"'Are you fine with this so far?' he whispered against her lips.
Hannah shook her head wildly. 'No. But I know I want to stay right here.'"
So you are not okay with what is happening, but you want to continue? I am confused. You keep saying no, but you want to go on so really that is a yes? It annoyed me to no end as no shouldn't mean yes (unless it is talked about before hand and you have a safe word). Eventually he does give her a safe word and then it is better. Then it is not so confusing and frustrating for me.
Also something that I just thought was odd was Hannah refers to her naval as where her sexual tension is.
"Gasping, Hannah clutched his hands in an oblivious attempt to stop her feelings spiralling out of control in her navel."
Every time it made me stop and be like really? I don't know about you, but my navel is not where I feel sexy time feelings. Every time it just made me squint like what? It just sounds odd to me. Really this is just a quick read, one part of a story, and is pretty much just sexy times. It did not work for me.
