Wow. Just wow. What did I just read? I could go back and look, but my Kindle went up in flames.
I am still recovering.
There was something about this book that just worked for me. It is a novella, so by necessity there is an instant attraction between Wolf and Olivia. And, it really works. There is an attraction and a connection with them because they share the same "kink" and it allows them to quickly break down the walls and the barriers that they would usually face.
In a novella, you often have to be willing to go along with the "insta" portion as there just isn't time to develop the relationship. I was impressed with Laura Kaye, who I have always liked, and the way she handled the story ARC in this, as it did not feel like a novella. There were the time jumps that allowed the relationship to move forward, but you weren't left feeling like you missed the important parts of the story. For me, it sometimes helps if the characters acknowledge that things are moving fast, as an awareness of that sometimes makes it better for the reader, if that makes sense.
The 1001 Dark Nights books are always short, hot and fun reads. This one did not disappoint.
I recommend this title.
What the hell was the cute brunette doing with such an a**hole anyway? The few times he’d looked around to see if his dinner companion had arrived, he’d noticed the woman sitting not too far away—and she’d made him do a double take every time. Between her glossy chocolate waves, the bright red paint on her bow-tie lips, and the vintage-style red dress with the plunging neckline and the full knee-length skirt, she had the sex appeal of a pinup girl. He couldn’t help wondering if she wore garters and thigh-highs beneath that skirt.
Wolf almost regretted that he no longer had any reason to stay at the bar because the scene playing out at the nearby table was like a train wreck he couldn’t stop watching. And, oh, he did enjoy watching. People were just so fucking interesting, even when they were off their damn rockers.
But the prospective submissive he’d been planning to meet—in public, at her request—had just called to let him know she’d gotten cold feet. He respected the honesty. The BDSM lifestyle wasn’t for everyone, and it wasn’t something he recommended anyone explore frivolously. But the change in plans left him at loose ends.
Actually, that feeling was a constant presence in his blood these days. Restlessness. Boredom.
Dissatisfaction without really being able to pinpoint why.
In anticipation of the meeting, he’d only had water, but he dropped a few dollars on the bar anyway, then pushed off the stool and made for the restrooms at the back. Blasphemy would be hopping soon, and even though he wasn’t scheduled to work a shift, he could no doubt find a willing partner to play with there. Though he was one of the twelve Master Dominants and a one-twelfth owner of the city’s most exclusive BDSM club, Wolf’s particular kink didn’t require all the equipment and special rooms that some did. Really, voyeurism and exhibitionism could be enjoyed anywhere. Which was kinda the point.
As long as he could watch, or knew others were watching, or was with someone who got off on being watched, he was all kinds of good.
Or, at least, he used to be.
