I will admit that this was an interesting book. It was sweet and really spicy! The alternative points of view made for a more in depth book than I expected. I also enjoyed the fact that the FMC was older with the experience neccessary. Overall, this was a fascinating book that will take you on a ride that you don't expect.

Thank you Net Galley ARC and Owen Sieffre

“Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.”

Don't you just love chocolate .. I mean chocolate that just melts in your mouth and you just enjoy that decadent taste in your mouth like you don't want it to end well that's what happened to Ekon when he stepped inside of a candy shop owned by the lovely sinful and seductive Rasheedah when entering her candy shop for the first time taking a tour and tasting her latest seasonal chocolate covered fruits.

Cooking was Rasheedah's love language and she was always filled of passion and flavor when it comes to making chocolate while getting to know this very interesting and sinful woman Ekon never experienced an orgasm like never before when tasting chocolate this isn't your typical candy shop even though Rasheedah runs an successful business she loves to entices men who enjoys her chocolate and Ekon was going to be the next victim I should say even though she's married but her and her husband have an open marriage and mutual understandings about having other partners into the bedroom. While reading this short story it was very too short for me it was just getting juicy. Rasheedah gave Ekon the biggest orgasm he never felt with any woman before especially in different sexual positions. The whole story definitely gives I will be your sex slave vibes I must say with a hint of Pandora's Box. Ekon definitely indulge into Rasheedah world of intimacy and sweet temptation and he didn't want it to end

Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get and that was definitely the experience Ekon had with the seductive Rasheedah however there's a sequel to this short story ... and when I say it was short it was very short just giving you a taste of what you are about to experience. Therefore if you're interested in this short story and the sequel is called Trick or Treat Swing My Queen

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read and review. Firstly the chocolate sounds Devine. The story is so quick and confident that I was a bit shocked but go off!

I wasn't expecting this to be too smutty all throughout. I was hoping it would give a Bloom vibes with a surprise horror ending. 😅

You know that tweet that’s like, “my fetish is saying some incredibly cornball shit and watching a gal speedrun the five stages of grief as she realizes with horror that she still wants to fuck me”?

That.

The narrative voice carries this book. Ekon is funny in a self-depreciating way, charming, sweet, and a little bit in over his head with Rasheedah. His voice is so strong and authentic that I found myself having a good time despite the fact that this book desperately needed another copy-editing pass and my sense that, even though Owen Sieffre clearly adores Black women, he’s never actually talked to a woman about what sex is like for her. He feels like a real person, and one I like.

This could have easily been a 4- or 5-star read if it had been a full romance or erotic novel instead of just a short piece of erotica. None of the kinks in this (very short) book were my thing. In fact, some of the kinks actively make me uncomfortable, and the dirty talk is “read out loud to your friends” dorky, but Ekon and Rasheedah were just so charming. I wanted to spend more time getting to know them with their clothes on.

I will probably request the sequel.

I enjoyed reading a different POV from what Im used to. This was a sweet and spicy treat. I liked the fact that the FMC was older, and more experience.
