I think these stories had the potential to be so good. I know that they are short stories with minimal plot but the writing just wasn’t good. 3/4 of the stories ended in “I love you’s let’s be together forever” which just wasn’t needed for a story so short. A lot of the descriptions didn’t make sense, anatomically speaking & that took me out of the story a lot.

Okay I’m 25 pages in and I don’t know how to feel, I like how there’s some spicy scene right away but also it’s like omg I’m 25 pages in and there already getting down to it, where’s the suspense haha.
Oh it’s multiple stories that makes sense now haha, well damn this is gonna be fun a bunch of spicy stories yes please count me in.
Second story: The second story was hot, a sex room with mist that makes everything amplified, hell yeah, that’s so hot.
Third story: okay we love jack, jack is a sweetheart, jack is a gentleman, dress shirt and blue navy shirt making pasta okay buddy.
Jack “if you want me to I’ll go be him up” Laney “you wouldn’t hurt a fly”
Jack “I’d do it for you”
Fourth story:
Okay dragons in this one what the fuck, okay so he wants a dom, he hired a dom, okay I’m liking I’m digging it, and she’s a fae omg omg omg this is fucking cool. Ong this story I am giggling and kicking my feet. Omg this took a twist, Igor dead, she killed him for Sven. This took a turn a fucking turn, angel of what omg.
“Do you know my name”
“You are the angel of pain”
“So obedient like the dog you are”
“Say it, you’re a dog” 😂
“Does the dirty dog want me to play with him” 😂
Fifth story:
Keri is looking to get murdered, you don’t walk up to a random stranger dressed as a plague doctor, and say “Halloween isn’t for four months” she’s brave.
They are in hell, actual hell, what the heck he’s from hell.
Okay this story was definitely the most fucked up and I’m here for every part of it. This was dark, creepy, sexy, and so out of this world and I am here for it girl.
So the most best mind blowing shit of her life, hard rough intense, and then he runs her a bath seriously what the heck naughty and nice truly.
“I will shatter you to pieces, that are impossible to put back together. Let me lead you to slaughter, little lamb”
It truly is amazing to me how your brain works Nicole, I have never read something like this before and it was beautiful, a bunch of stories in one book short sweet and spicy. All of these stories were completely different and they were all amazing.

Flame is a smutty good time! You get 5 short stories so it’s a nice little cleanser in between massive reads! Each story has different tropes and bases which pull you in! I do have a top three so let’s go down the list! Number 3 is Daisy! Daisy was honestly adorable and you can definitely see it playing out in someone’s real life situation. Friends to lovers with a realistic issues and story plot, definitely a cute one and most relatable! Number 2 is Knock, Knock! Knock knock was a a spicy fantasy and let me just say we all love a woman in power! Especially when it’s the men who beg and gravel at our feet! 😌 but my Number 1 definitely goes to The Devils Bargain! Holy seven pits of Hades this was SPICY 🥵🌶️ and FUN! I couldn’t stop turning the pages and it DEFINITELY had me craving for more! Samael plllsssssss come back! I can’t wait to see more of him!

This is a fantastic set of stories. I'm so used to reading full length novels with all the fluff and stuff that it was refreshing to have a set of stories that get right to the point. What I also loved was how each was so entirely different from the next. An eclectic group of characters that you will not forget any time soon. Can't wait for Volume 2!
