Yet another book to add to the "I read this exclusively because of the kink, but it turns out that I was more emotionally invested than I expected" list.
The camp aspect of this series, first off, is a solid 10/10. I feel that every BDSM book I've read in the past 15 years has been set in sex clubs or dungeons. So this was a refreshing twist I didn't see coming. Also, the sense of community in the camp had me hyped. Grace and Max = friendship goals, and every other character we bumped into along the way was a 10/10.
Anyway. Grace, our heroine, is seriously repressed. Mostly down to her delightfully kink shaming ex. She's also overwhelmed, between working and taking care of her mum, she's finally taken a break to go on "holiday" ie to the kink camp. She gets the opportunity to fulfil a fantasy, anonymously.
Liev, our hero, is an understandably grumpy tortured widower who has a once a year anonymous one-off scene.
The two of them had chemistry that had me resenting every moment I had to put the book down 😒 I loved watching them suss out who their mystery person was. And their interactions were 🌶🌶🌶

Grace’s bestfriend Max encourages her to take a break from her grief mother aka a vacation and potentially sign up to a sex camp.
One day, she sees a flyer that seems very appealing and so she fills it up: MALE PRIMAL HUNTER seeks Female Prey for a one- time, anonymous hunt. No faces. No names. No repeats.
"It's gonna hurt. I'm gonna hurt you."
