The Perfect Ingredient : Book 3 of the Kinky ABC Anthology

by J. De Saint

Louis is losing his mind over the taste Jean left on his tongue before vanishing.

Desperate for the flavor he can’t reproduce, Louis goes searching for answers—and instead finds himself face-to-face with Hessou, the man who once ruined him and left him to gather whatever remained. One touch, and Louis is back in the fire. Old hunger rises. Bad ideas bloom. And when the man he was chasing walks back in, Louis discovers that all the things he loves come in threes.

The Perfect Ingredient is the third book of the Kinky ABC Anthology, a collection of stand-alone stories where each letter explores a different kink. In this first book, ‘C’ is for Cum play.
Each book can be read on its own, but together they form an unapologetic alphabet of fun. So enjoy.

Clear your schedule

This is the level of greatness that all smutty books should aspire to. The writing is immaculate. And you might think it doesn't matter when we're talking smut, but it absolutely does. (And if you're reading spicy books that are written poorly, get your ish together. You deserve better.)

The storyline is intriguing throughout, the characters are fully developed, the spice is decadent. Our MCs are depraved, unnerving in their desire and glorious.

I don't want to give anything away. But I will say, have you ever had a crush lick honey off their finger while staring you in the eyes? This book is that feeling in the pit of your stomach as you watch.

AND it’s part of a standalone spicy series. I can’t wait to dive in for more.

Read. It.

If Perfurme: The Story of a Murderer were MM erotica

Well damn.

I really thought this would just be a threesome, but it was... decadent.

The writing was far too evocative and rich and syrupy for an erotica MMM novella. Not in a bad way, just in a "they really pulled out all of the stops and I didn't expect that at ALL" way.

I'm just... I'm not kidding, this book is genuinely what would happen if Perfume: The Story of a Murderer was about homoeroticism instead of murder. Like if Jean-Baptise Grenouille had been born in a rose garden to nobility instead of on the street by the fishmongers of Paris.

I just... wow. I haven't the words. Five stars, what else could I do?

I am also a melted pile of goo

OH MY GAAAAAAWWWWDDDD!! They just keep getting better!!!

This is book 3 in the anthology & hands down my favorite this far. I adored these characters & the instantaneous affection. Their heat *scorches* you as it jumps from the page.

I am just..ugh, I didn’t want it to end..I could have read 100 more pages of their filthy adventures!! Now, if you’ll excuse me..I’m gonna need a cold shower 😅
