Demi Carrington was born to be a certified freak. With a ho for a mama, who could blame her? Consumed by her childhood trauma, Demi built walls that no one has managed to break through—until Vaughn, her best friend's brother. He took her innocence and left her wanting more, but a long stint in prison prevented the two from exploring their connection.
Now, eight years later, Vaughn is back, and he’s determined to make Demi his, even if that means locking her in his room and fulfilling all her naughty needs while stroking her fears away until she submits to him.
Sometimes, the past returns for a second chance, and Vaughn won’t stop until he can finally claim what’s his—Demi’s heart and all her naughty desires.
This was my first read by the author and I’m not sure how I feel about this novella. While the book provided plenty spice, there was mention of Demi having a sex addiction that was never treated and that had me feeling some kind of way. Also with Vaughn recognizing her addiction, but using it as a weapon to get her to agree to being in a relationship with him after he softly kidnapped her didn’t sit right with me either. I understand that he wanted to make up for lost time and to show her he was all in and all about her, but it felt like it should have been handled a different way if he truly loved her. This book contained some heavy themes to be solely erotica for me.
Then add in the “plot twist” at the end with Vaughn’s sister Leilani, which was predictable at best, and you have anticipation for the next story featuring the sister. I’m hoping that when Vaughn and Demi make an appearance in the sisters’s book, that Demi’s trauma will have been addressed and dealt with.
His baby needed dick to survive, and he planned on giving her as much as she needed.
From the dedication, I already knew I was gonna be absolutely in love with this book. This book was so good. It was undeniably a book that I could not put down. I had to know what was gonna happen next and then the ending left my mouth open just a little bit, but I know that there’s more to come. This is my first book from this author, and I’m glad that I picked it up.
rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 naughty butterflies is the definition of erotic, passionate, and tender all at once. our main characters, demi and vaughn, have a history that runs deep. almost a decade ago, demi gave vaughn her v-card, and in his smitten attempt to “get his bread up” and become the man he thought she deserved, he cut her off and wound up doing eight years in jail. when he’s finally released, his first mission is to get his girl back. demi, meanwhile, has been struggling with a sex addiction she assumed was hereditary because of her mother’s reputation (her words, not mine 😭). their reunion is messy, obsessive, and undeniably erotic — vaughn literally “kidnaps” demi and keeps her close until she agrees to be his lady. in the real world that would be wild behavior, but in the world cyn built, it somehow fits the tension perfectly. demi’s decision to treat her addiction through vaughn instead of therapy had me both side-eyeing and laughing , but it worked for the story. the pacing is fast, driven by both plot and characters, with a tone that stays steamy and impulsive. the ending leaves you hanging just enough to want more and trust, i’ll definitely be picking up the next book to see what happens with sis 👀🦋
Now this was a fun one. Love Vaughn and Demi, The fact that she was trying to play hard to get because she was really hurt... But already knew she was got the minute that he came home. They were deaf on some freak nasty s*** and I love that for them. That sex club scene... whoo chile. Now I ain't gonna say I called it with mecca and Leilani But I definitely peeped game, Now what I did next week was what I didn't expect and I got.... I'm happy before I even asked are we getting a book for mecca and Leilani it was already told to me. I'm really excited to see you where that goes.
Babe, this was a hot and juicy read!!! Now my outlook on butterflies will definitely not be the same!
Now before I get into it let me say I need to know what going to happen with Mecca now that Lei is pregnant! How did Vaughn really react?
Note the energy that Mecca had once home, was the sweetest. He knew he was coming home to greet his woman Demi! That energy cause her to let them walls down and accept the love that he was giving her along with that BDE. That bedroom life they had was everything! But that first date had me speechless cause babe lol.
This is the author's first book under the BLP Publications umbrella, and she didn't come to play. Vaughn had one encounter with Demi, who was a virgin, before he got caught up and went to prison. Eight years later, Vaughn is released, and he comes home and finds out that Demi is not so innocent anymore. I loved how Vaughn knew how to quiet those butterflies that Demi had going on. This erotic novella was sizzling hot, and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I can't wait to read Mecca and Leilani's upcoming book after reading the epilogue.
Demi had no idea how deep Vaughn’s feelings ran so deep for her, especially with them being so young back then. Vaughn was obviously a take charge guy then as well. He was attempting to come correct when he came for her. Now, she’s a very different woman with extraordinary needs, so she doesn’t care to settle with one man. Well, in a short span of time, Vaughn gave her appetite all that and more. Enough to where she feels she can hopefully give him enough to keep them together.
Demi was left behind and not sure why. No clues on what happened with Vaughn and her. After eight years, the pair gets a chance a second chance. He kidnaps ? Not sure how I feel that plan of action. I guess he was coming hard for his lady. Time away doesn’t make the heart fonder or does it ? The two must figure the shhh out together.
The ending was well interesting. Mecca and his sister ? Hmmmmmm.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The level of kinkiness in this book was top tier!! It was written out in a sexy yet classy way without making it feel like a scene out of porno. Vaughn definitely gives off the main character BDE we love in our male characters. I'm excited to see the evolution of his and Demi as we learn more about Leilani and Mecca!!
A good erotica. I really enjoyed Vaughn and Demi. Vaughn did what he had to do and became the man he desired to be for Demi! Demi had her Joan demons, but it was always Vaughn who gave her butterflies! I would love to see the outcome of Mecca and Lei situation, so many questions!
This book was a refreshing escape from the usual drama-filled stories, focusing on pure passion and grown, sexy love. The chemistry between the characters was everything, delivering a hood love vibe without the toxicity or unnecessary twists. If you’re looking for something steamy, real, and “struggle love”-free, this is the perfect read!
Well well well what a wonderful conclusion or beginning we find ourself in. This was a great way to tie everything and everyone together. I was pleasantly surprised when I figured out the characters in this story were the other couple in Meant To Be Yours. Cyn did her big one and I’m going to enjoy this series and her catalog.
Just when I thought your writing couldn’t get any better. You proved me wrong. Loved it from beginning to end. That first date WOW!!! I will never look at butterflies the same but in a good way. I can’t wait to read what’s next.
This book was really good. You think novella & you think there might be things missing... not in this book. I felt that it was a well-rounded short story with an ending that had me saying whoaaa, out loud!
Cyn did her thing from page one with this book. If my man not coming like Vaughn then I don’t want him….PERIODT‼️ This is a great quick read that will leave your panties wet 😈🦋
Demi had childhood trauma and falling in love wasn’t the plan either. But when her first love Vaughn comes home from an eight year prison sentence. He stands on business letting Demi know she wasn’t going anywhere. He understood her addictions and trauma and accepted them.
I loved everything about this book from beginning to end. I kinda had a feeling Mecca and Leilana were messing around, but the ending caught me by surprise.
Demi waited for her man for 8 years and baby she got him!!! Vaughn did not play when it came to her and they were definitely made for each other. This was superrr spicy though if you’re not into that.
