She is perfection personified. The woman I never should’ve let go. I haven’t been able to take my eyes off her, since she walked into my fetish rave and I spotted her.
She speaks to my soul, and by the end of the night, I’ll have owned every single inch of her body and she’ll have taken every inch of me.
Because this isn’t just your typical night out, this is where fantasies… become reality.
I know I'm overanalyzing a smutty novella, but hear me out. This line?
"I've known her for longer than most people know their own kids."
My headcannon is that they're actually in their 50s/60s.
Because in the book, they met when she was 18 and he was 21 and they wrote to each other etc, eventually something happened and they haven't seen each other in 7 years so I know they're closer to 30 than 50, but say they knew each other for 10 years, I don't think most people lose their parents that young. I did at 13, but I'm not the majority.
This is just my detail oriented mind, maybe the line was supposed to be that he knew her BETTER than people know their own kids, that would make more sense.
ANYWAY, the novella was fine. I've read similar ones before that I liked better, so I knew what to expect. I was hoping I'd love it though, but alas.
The writing was okay, but it didn't really do anything for me, neither did the characters. I actually kind of disliked both of them, which made it hard for me to care about their storyline.
I agree with the people who said the ending felt rushed, it doesn't feel like their story was properly concluded. There will be another book though, following different characters.
I'm not sure if I'd read it, even if these two make a cameo, maybe I'll give it some thought and then decide.
If you guys are looking for a fast paced, SPICY, funny novella? THIS IS IT! Absolutely it!
Cairo is truly so fucking funny and her words had me CACKLING throughout the novella. Cairo and her friend (Sierra) applied for a fetish neon rave.. yeah you read that right.. A FETISH NEON RAVE!! Where you just explore your kinks and you are put with a “caregiver” who will fulfill your ✨fantasies✨ AND BOY DID JAX DO IT JUSTICE 🤤🤌🏼
The MOUTH on that man was absolutely wild and it was CRIMINAL for how short it was because ma’am WE NEED MORE OF HIM!!!!
For me: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 🌶️🌶️🌶️
““Don’t pray for God, when the Devil is staring back at you pequeña.” 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be an ARC and constantly slaying 🥹🤍.
So I got the pleasure of reading this book before it was even out for ARCS🤭 (what a flex) and when I tell you guys this little Novella packed mean punch I’m not kidding!!
The way Riggs can put a complete story in such a short book is honestly so impressive.
The concept and the plot of this is SO FUCKING COOL And the spice HIT THE SPOT. I devoured this book.
This book was such a freaking good time, I was doing all the things giggling, kicking my feet fanning myself. Definitely a must read!! Perfect for a pallet cleanser
i saw this short story on my tbr so i thought i’d read it since i wanted something quick and easy. sadly, it didn’t do anything for me lol.
the characters were one dimensional tbh, they both read the same and didn’t have different personalities to them or anything. the reason for them not talking for 7 years was stupid at the end of the day and that kinda put me off the story as well. i only really liked sierra and we barely got to see her :(
the writing style wasn’t too good either, i don’t know if it was the edition of my book but the amount of typos was insane! aside from that, the characters also constantly cursed to the point of it being obnoxious and it got boring quick.
i did find the secret sexual event intriguing and i wanted to know even more about that, but aside from that, nothing in the story was at all mysterious or sexy or much of anything. i wanted more subtlety, more yearning, but maybe it’s just me. a lot of people seem to love this one. i personally don’t think i can recommend this.
This short book was honestly such a good time, I didn’t expect a lot going into an 80 page book but damn was it good❤️🔥 I mean going into it you KNOW or should know it’s going to be spicy and fun and slightly dark, and wow was it HOT🥵 It honestly gripped me quite a lot with the slight plot we got which I absolutely did not expect, but the little twists especially when we find out what Cairo does as a job, that was quite fun to read as I didn’t expect that what Deckard (not exposing his real name😉) was trying to do in 2nd Chapter would be liked to her🫢 Oh and the possessiveness from the MMC? DAMN! I mean simply putting it I just loved them both and I honestly enjoyed every second of this book so I’m rating it 5⭐️ And I am HOPING this is not the last we see of them two because I NEED more!! I need the backstory because it just wasn’t enough 😩
If you are looking for a fast pace spicy (and I mean SPICY) novella with an obsessed MMC and a funny smart mouthed FMC, this is the book for you. I laughed so hard at some of the things the FMC Cairo says and the mouth on the MMC Jax 🫠🫠.
I think I am going for a walk outside to cool off 😂
JFC. 🥵😮💨🌶️ For as short as this story was it was executed PERFECTLY. I can’t wait to see more of this world in the next book. I need it yesterday….
Idée Fixe is an exclusive night rave waiting to fulfill your every desire and craving. Inside there are masked men waiting to be your caretaker for the evening and trust me, it will be a night that you’ll never forget. 😜
If you want a really quick spicy read with an fmc who has a big mouth and an obsessive mmc who has a dirty mouth, this one is for you!! I loved it so much!
“Welcome all of you depraved f*ckers, To Idée Fixe! The place where all your dreams and fantasies come true!” “Don’t pray for God, when the Devil is staring back at you.”
Short and spicy novella with a fetish rave, a bunch of kinks, and a masked MMC.
I loved this book and would love to read more! I couldn’t put it down and devoured it in one sitting. The only problem was that it was so short.
I haven’t read any other books by the author before, but after this, I definitely need more.
Please check the trigger warnings before reading!
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
I'm not even sure what I just read. A complete waste of 69 (🙄) pages . It was 69 pages of filth with no storyline. I didn't get the point of it at all. And it cost me over 7 pound Cairo is a complete psycho, screaming, swearing at strangers when she chose to be there And then the endin where it's suddenly been 8 weeks even though nothing had happened and they love each other...bizarre 2 stars for the cover and the fact it bumped up my goodreads challenge
This was my first read by C.J Riggs, and oooh my she did NOT dissapoint! Her way of writing had me devouring the book in one sitting, and left me wanting so much more!
The characters, the settings and the plot was just phenomenal for a short story, and it didn't take long for me to fall in love with Cairo and Deckard.
You should definitly read this if you dream of a masked man being your 'Caretaker' at a rave party, and his only job is to fulfill all your darkest desires 😈
If you want a fast passed spicy erotic novella! This one is for you.
Boy do I love a good fetish rave that makes all your fantasies come true, thanks to a masked man that makes you squirt and chases you through the club with a knife.
I love a feisty FMC that has a foul mouth! Cairo is not one you want to mess with she bites back if you piss her off! I love the fact that she is opinionated, strong-willed and has a good sexual appetite. I also enjoy a FMC that is a badass but will let her guard down when it comes to the unhinged MMC.
Deckard is not who he seems to be (PLOT TWIST) does he make our FMC crawl, beg, choke and so much more. Good Lord yes he does!!! And let me tell you I would submit too!!!!!!!
Their first encounter is not at the rave but.. Well you better go and read it to find out. :D
I just want to issue a heat warning before you continue because this little book is HOT. If you're worried about your reading goal and want to add something quick and steamy, look no further. Idée Fixe is a club/fanasty provider where you apply and put what you would like to happen and they decide if it will happen. Well how do you make sure no one talks about this club? Put hackers as the owners so there's some collateral on the line. This book was so fun and for being as short as it is, under 100 pages. The beginning is you finding out that the mmc knows thr fmc but she won't know it's him and he has plans for her. The book is dark and fun and honestly seems like it would bebfun to go to even if you don't get chosen. The story had actual plot as well but was mostly spice and the spice delivered for sure. The mouth on this man 🥵 lord have mercy its so good. The FMC, Cairo, also has a mouth on her and her mouth definitely gets her in trouble and the outcome is so fun. I saw that there is hopefully going to be a second book with some of the other masked men and I'm excited to read that too. If it gets extended into a full length I wouldn't be mad at all! Thank you to the author for allowing me to ARC read!
RIGGS HAS DONE IT AGAIN !!! if you want a fast paced, short and spicy novella, filled with all the sexy kinks and dirty talk … YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE 💥💳
thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to arc read this!! i read this in just one sitting and couldn’t get enough. this novella was everything i was looking for. it got me out of a reading slump but i fear i’m now in a book hangover because HOW DO I GET OVER THAT ENDING !!!
i absolutely loved the main characters in this. deckard (jax) is possessive and obsessive. everything i love about the mmc. he has such a dirty mouth and got me all hot and bothered 😩 i can relate to cairo in trying to fix something that just isn’t working out. she held on until it got to the absolute worst and that was just the last straw. i loved her choice in words LOL !!! this girl had me BELTING OUT LAUGHING 😂
🌶️🌶️🌶️ (eyes on me, the mouth on this man had me CRUMBLING.) the spice was hot and yummy … just so delicious !!!
Okay, so this one was pretty short and left us with an HFN for the couple.
Cairo caught her bf fking a guy lol and was nope she isn't going to stay with a cheater, so her friend convinced her to sign up to a fetish rave. She wants it so she does. Little did she know her past owns the company. Deckard has been obessed with Cairo, but he had to let her go it's been 7 years now, and he isn't again.
They'll play, and he'll show her who's under the mask. This is like 80% smut and little plot lol. Maybe the author wants to write a little more after the fetish rave?

When I tell you I devoured this book! As soon as it dropped, I put down my current read and let me tell you it did not disappoint. This book BANGS! Hard.
I was obsessed with MMC Deckard, and Cairo the FMC. I loved her so much. She writes the best characters & ugh I just loved it…. It ended far too quickly. But it was an incredible read. It was hitting with the spice too, hot damn. 🫠
Not gunna lie, feel a little book hungover 😫.
The writing is just a breath of fresh air, she’s an auto buy author for me. Get it on your TBR. It’s easily the best novella I’ve read…..
This book is a hot, fun, spicy, faced paced read set in a neon fetish rave, with plenty of kinks and sooooo good for a novella! Cairo the MFC is sassy AF and a take no crap kinda girl. The MMC Deckard wears a mask and has dirty f*cking mouth to die for and he is there to fulfil your darkest desires! Definitely a one handed read 😉 I couldn't put it down and devoured it in less than 24hrs!
This was my first book by this author but I have another that has gone straight to the top of my tbr!
Please check trigger warnings before reading!
I was lucky enough to get an arc copy of Idée Fixe but I'm leaving an honest review! Thank you C.J Riggs I hope there's more to come and I'm there for it!
A huge thank you to the author, Ms. CJ Riggs, for sending me a message asking if I wanted to read the ARC for this new erotic novella!
Quick, hot and dirty— sometimes, that’s all I need to have a good time. Less than 100 pages and this book was just that — a damn good time. So easy, no mess (well.. maybe a little mess) and no stress. Pretty cute by the end too. I love a dirty mouthed MMC and this delivered! Can’t wait to read more of CJ Riggs’s books in the future!
LIKE ARE YOU LITERALLY JOKING ME? I’m gagging more than Cairo the way Deckard and his filthy mouth had me weak. I loved this so much for the simple fact that within 80 pages we were able to still tell a story even tho the book is mainly smut. I love a second chance romance if it’s done well and Deckard reasoning for leaving was valid, but ofcourse that shit would still hurt and Cairo was such a badass I love a strong fmc.
4,5⭐️ I know it’s a novella, so it’s short. But I wished it was a bit longer. I usually love books with spice, but if it’s more spice than plot I usually like it less. This book was really good though. The spice is so good! Quick and fun read.
I absolutely loved this book! I was lucky enough to receive this as a arc! It was everything I was needing. I was in a reading slump and this 100% got me out of it! This review will be basic so I don't give anything away!
Unfortunately I can relate to the fmc in ways I never thought🤣 but it made me instantly fall in love with the story!
I also needed a cold shower after this one! 🤤🫠🥵🥵🥵🥵 The spice was absolutely delicious and I couldn't put it down!
CJ Riggs is a forever insta buy! 5/5 like black hearts 🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤
