V Card
The stakes were high. His body count was higher.
The ladies loved me. Both the ones I shoved out my hotel room door every morning and the ones I was currently flicking between my thumbs. A pair of queens. My ideal threesome.
But these gals were fickle, whereas Lady Luck was the type to never leave my side. It was the same reason the girl sitting across from me never stood a chance.
Couldn’t blame her. Not really. Pretty little thing didn’t know she was treading in shark-infested waters. Or that the only card she had left at her disposal… just so happened to be my favorite one to take. Taking wasn’t the only thing I did though. I was a giver too. Demands, degradation, dic—
Well, I think you catch my drift. Point was, the moment she decided to go all-in was the exact moment she agreed to let me do the same.
Game on, baby girl.

COMING FROM AN ARC READER: Absolutely 100/10. I’ve always loved Sybil, her books have a special place in my heart. I personally usually gravitate towards pitch black books, but the suspenseful plot twist at the end had me SCREAMING🤪 if you’re looking for a quick read with plot to get you out of a reading slump, this will be perfect for you!
The way that Sybil personifies the MMC and FMC is ironic and iconic because it reflects modern dating and the egos that come with some of these men😂

This book gave me the ick. I don’t even know how this is classified as a dark romance. To me it’s just a nasty man who only likes to have sex with virgins which is just super creepy. It only got an extra star because the last page made me laugh. 👏

This book was downright AWESOME and I need more of this right NOW!
This was a 5 star read and everything a novella should be. Short, sweet, spicy, and straight to the point!
The inner monologue keeps you entertained and really in the mind of the main character.
The kicker ... The kicker ... The main event! Now that was the ending of this book. I know this was a novella but I feel like I am dangling by a thread because whatever happened at the end I need more of the story. I just need more.
Anything Sybil writes is sooo good!

It was my first Sybil Knight book, and it did not disappoint.
A quick and easy spicy read. This book is 95% smut 5% plot/story.
Would definitely recommend 👌 great for a palate cleanser.

This steamy little novella completely blew me away. When an author can write so well with so little words you know it’s going to be a great read.
The plot was fantastic and clever which is so hard to pull off with novellas but Sybil manages it perfectly. And the spice?? Oh my Mr Bettencourt 🥵 cocky? Yes. Hot AF? Double yes.
The twist at the end had me gigglingi and rooting for Rosalind though! If you need a steaming pallet cleanser? This is the one!

vCard was an absolute hit.
Quick read so you will be able to SMASH it in no time.
This wasn’t at all what I thought it would be and was so incredibly better than I expected.
The plot twist I did not see coming and was above all my favorite thing about this book.
I suggest you pull up a seat at the table

This was such a fun, short read from the authors note to the last sentence. Plenty of smut and a good plot. Wasn't expecting the ending and I kinda fell in love with Rosalind. Left me wanting MORE! Highly recommended if you're looking for something fast paced, packed with smut that has an actual plot (I know.. That's rare). Loved it!

This short read definitely kept my interest and I loved the twist at the end. I also loved the FMC especially, who seemed so docile until we got her POV. Amazing writing!!!

V-Card is sharp, fast-paced, and deliciously wicked. Sybil Knight delivers a perfectly sized novella with tight pacing, dark energy, and a twist that packs a punch. A quick read that lingers longer than expected.

57 pages of nothingness. The writing is poor. The dialogue is thrown in here and there randomly. He fucks her but that's literally it. It's not dark.
He only fucks virgins and on page 39 he's like "you ever done anal?" (not word for word) LIKE what do you think?!
"I dove in face-first until I was up in her juices while mine leaked through the sheets and onto the mattress." 🤮

The entire plot twist is that she's not actually a virgin and she comes back to him? 🙄
Not sure why everyone is so over dramatic about it.

August 1, 2025Super quick meh read. A man has a virgin kink, and is playing poker when he takes a woman up on an offer of her virginity if he wins against her. Of course he wins, and brings her back to his room to fuck her mouth/vag/ass. While the scenes are sort of hot, there is too much of his inner monologue talking about how all the girls want him and how he fucks them then kicks them out. Considering this book is only 125 pages, it felt like an unnecessary waste of precious page space 🤷🏻♀️. After he is finished with her he goes into the washroom and calls the front desk of their casino hotel room to have security escort the woman out of his bed. The front desk person informs the man that the woman fakes her virginity and is actually a thief. The man runs back to his room to find her and his wallet gone. The last chapter is her point of view where she is at another poker game looking for another target. The man shows up and they talk.
Question:
- He talks about loving the red stains on white sheets but when he first fucks her he doesn’t mention noticing any blood. I know some women can break their hymen other ways but wouldn’t this be a warning sign regardless? Also, wouldn’t he be able to feel if there was no hymen in tact considering how familiar he was with fucking virgins?

What a fun short story!
✨️ARC review✨️
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
🌶🌶🌶🌶
The writing was incredible; I really ended up hating and liking Malcolm, even though he was an egotistical, pompous jerk. His inner dialog was getting on my nerves, but it worked with how I perceived his character. It seemed very clinical how he was "working" with and how he collected V cards. Rose had me going, that's all I'll say about that. This book is not a romance, in my opinion, just a short story about taking and collecting V cards with a twist. I would recommend it as a quick pallet cleanser. Truly, the writing is great, and I can't wait to check out more of Sybil Knights's books.

If you’re after a novella which is fast paced and spicy, this is it!
The dedication had me from the beginning;
“To anyone and everyone who’s ever wanted a do over, this one’s for you”!
A super short but extra spicy book with an ending where you say “get it girl”.

I really liked it, it was nice and short. More spice than plot but at the same time there was plot to the spice.
I really liked the little twist at the end. I thought it was going one way and it went in the totally opposite direction.

I absolutely loved this book. The twist on this was so good, I literally said oh hell yeah she did that. A quick read 90% smut which I'm all for 100%. I would definitely go for a second read. Oh and I wouldn't mind a spin off, just saying..
February 21, 2025
I give this book 4.5 ⭐️s. So I just rounded up to 5 ⭐️s. I love spicy novellas. So if you’re looking for a short and spicy read to get you out the slumps then this book is for you. I plan on reading more from this author.

Yorumları okuyunca iyi bi novella sanmıştım. Çok gereksiz çıktı. Yani sonundaki twisti sevdim. Açıkçası bu konuyu çok güzel yazabilirmiş ama neyse kısa bi kitaptı hemen bitti neyseki. Yine de zaman kaybıydı.

65 pages for what?
He is an old guy that fucks virgins…it’s not even that spicy…just a blow job,anal and then he fucks her vagina… nothing over the top. No real plot. The twist at the end wasn’t even that exciting.
Was a good way to kill a hour I guess

A short spicy novella with a twist I didn’t expect at the end. Using this for the V in my ABC challenge this year and it’s a decent novella, less than 100 pages and more smut than plot which is expected in my opinion since it is only like 64 pages
