Served Cold

Scorched

by Adrian Blue

After twenty-three years of marriage, Diana has lost everything to her cheating ex-husband. Now, armed with nothing but rage and an ancient book of rituals, she's ready to summon something monstrous. But what rises from the sea is beyond anything she could have imagined. An ancient god of wrath who offers her the perfect revenge...for a price. One night of passion with a creature who embodies the most primal of urges. As fear transforms into desire and vengeance takes on a deliciously dark form, Diana discovers that some bargains are worth making.

This one was right up my alley. Mature woman summons erotica sea creature/demigod to help her get revenge on her awful, deceitful ex who stole all the money before trading her in on a younger model.

The $ex was hot, but i would have liked a bit more with even more detail. Yup, I'm like that. This worked quite well for me.

strange and spicy

Strange and spicy is always the case with anything Adrian Blue writes, and while I’m here for it, this was good, spicy and we had a happy romantic ending; I had a hard time picturing this chimera sea god… 🤔

🦑 Later in life romance
🦑 Nothing as scary (and willing to bang monsters) as a woman scorned

What happens when you nasty exhusband screws you over to the point you need to summon a sea god for revenge?
Apparently, a lot of crazy steamy stuff.
Not a bad read!
