This story is a hidden gem, a big one, and I'm scratching my head, wondering how no one saw it...
First off, none of the ideas in a story can work unless they're expressed well. Not only are the author's ideas interesting, but what I've read so far is written at a professional level. Easily.
I'm honestly shocked there aren't more readers. The grammar is flawless and it's written with a descriptive, & distinct style.
Wtf does that mean. Everything worth describing is done beautifully, without effecting the pacing and progress of the story.
Plus, we get to enjoy 2 POV’s, the FL’s & ML’s
It’s a great approach. Even symbolic in a way to the genre.
We understand the characters more deeply, which creates attachment without us realizing it.
(I can relate to the FL’s inhibited behavior/ i’m cray too!)
A “contracted” romance is a common plot device that is commonly (always) between a domineering CEO type ML, who also creates the contract entirely, proposing (or demanding. or threatening. Rawr.) the contract between him & the FL; A timid, naive, abandoned or abused, & easily intimidated character.
Almost every fictionalized attempt to make the “contracted” romance a compelling narrative-
Have all been sh*t 😒
The idea is alluring in a very devious way. Controversial. Taboo. & se*ual in nature, naturally- bc of the characters themselves, who are always young adults, attractive, whatever!
The entire concept of a “contract” that entitles one character to “own” or possess another hints at slavery, human trafficking, etc.
It’s a fv**ing bold concept...w/ so much potential bc of the “fantasy factor” (pervs 😏)
& this is the first story I’ve read (illustrated & written) that has approached such a bold concept like it should be; BOLDLY!
The author even made the “contract” more provocatively interesting by making it clear the contract is about S E X, bc that’s how babies are made.
screw the stereotypes.
Finally, a contract- & a s e x contact at that! Was conjured up by our FL; A woman who possesses characteristics a female who would do this should.
She’s capable, self sufficient, exudes confidence, shameless enough, is a s e x loving goddess (not in a thottish way),
& in my head- is a lil off, in the best way possible tho.
She’s not a basic b i tch. Basically.
She’s a baddie ;)
You need to be such a woman to propose this type of Agreement to a stranger of the opposite s e x- a stranger she handpicked. & that is capable of making her wet with one stare.
go get em!
That’s a fantasy I would love to indulge in!
Not being a student-Turned-maid, who was blind to how perverted her new wealthy employer is. Unfortunately, it takes getting r*ped by him to realize she fv cked up.
It’s so refreshing to discover such an uninhibited approach to a plot device that should have never been explored timidly, which would take away from the allure & interest.
While the dull creators of every other story that incorporated the same devious plot of Someone owning another person LEGALLY (haha it’s so Fv cked up!) decided to step their foot in the water.
The other half didn’t even make it out of the kiddie pool.
This glorious Author cannonballed in.
Not stopping with the initial fantasy- but making it even more tempting, & Wild.
S e x.
Violence.
Mafia.
Guns.
Underworld.
Amazing s e x.
Dangerous Vibes.
Dangerously sexy vibes.
Money!!!
I’ve just begun reading & I felt compelled to hand down some credit!
& write this. My first review, too.
I’ll give more praise as to why all these ideas work so well; The Author is an incredible writer.
Descriptive enough, the visual imagery is there.
Grammar is flawless.
I enjoy the sense of dry humor sprinkled throughout. Often expressed through the vulgar thoughts or words of one of our thoughtfully created characters.
And although very detailed and composed tastefully, the story feels rather simple at times, when needed, & doesnt linger too long.
The pacing is enjoyable- & hints at the budding emotions and feelings that will eventually be developed.
Something to look forward to as the story unravels. Along with the underworld related drama & moments our alpha ML shines his gun 👌🏼
You wont be disappointed 👌🏼
GoodLuck Author!
