A review by nikkihrose
Dominated by Marni Mann

3.0

This book was hot and gave me a bit of Sara Cate’s Salacious Players’ Club vibes being set in a similar style club, but then Marni threw in some suspense and mystery and had our dominating MMC completely disappear without a trace‽ Marni, don’t you realize we CLING to the men you write? How could he just disappear on us like that? I feel for Pepper!!

This was such a quick read – as most steamy novellas are – but it was also the suspense that had me hooked. Pepper and Bale had danced around each other for months until everything came to a head (hehe, see what I did there?) for one unforgettable night. But when Pepper wakes up the next morning he’s gone and there’s a note saying not to look for him because he won’t find her.

And while he DID disappear (SERIOUSLY MARNI!!!), he couldn’t stay away because he was too drawn to Pepper!

I loved that these characters were so connected, but I’ll be honest in that I didn’t personally connect with them as much as I have with some of her other characters before (maybe because it’s a novella but idk?). This book was enjoyable and STEAMYYY though and I am still thinking about the shmexy times they got up to in her private room… Guess you’ll just have to see for yourself!
