Primed

by Lena Lucas

Our romance was explosive.


Combustible.


Electrifying.


We were magnets, opposites so attracted to each other it was on a whole other level.


He was possessive of me, like a lion guarding the gazelle after he’d caught it... devoured it.


Z was jealous, pushing that emotion so deep no man ever dared even look at me when he was near.


And the way he touched me, licked me, nuzzled my neck as he scented me, made me feel like I slept beside a predator, one who claimed me irrevocably until I knew there would never be anyone else for me. He was all man, but I swore he housed an inner ruthless animal deep within.


I was Z’s.
He was mine.


And if this was what drowning felt like, I never wanted to reach the surface.


Lena’s note: This one is a fast, down and dirty story that lets you know exactly where it’s going… if you know what I mean. No drama of any kind to get in the way of the juicy bits (pun intended). Just a good old-fashioned smut-fest with a HEA! Enjoy.

[Amyb1975 · Rating 4 out of 5]

My life. My future. The very reason I breathed.

Ok. Wow. This was kinda intense. Like 3 whole chapters of bedroom gymnastics and pre-game warm ups 😉. So good. We get a VERY possessive and obsessed H, dual POV but more from her POV until the epilogues, dual virgin, no OM/OM drama, no abuse or cheating. Would have liked to know a little more about the couple but I still enjoyed the story. Quick, steamy, insta-love.

If you want a dirty dirty book you've come to the right place. The two main characters are friends who have circled around each other for years and are finally ready to give in to their basic urges

Z et Piper
Meilleur ami du frère, protecteur
Propriétaire du garage de la ville

Torride et purement Érotique


📖
Notre romance était explosive.
Combustible.
Électrisant.

Nous étions des aimants, des opposés tellement attirés l’un par l’autre que c’était à un tout autre niveau.
Il était possessif envers moi, comme un lion gardant la gazelle après l'avoir attrapée… dévorée.
Z était jaloux, poussant cette émotion si profondément qu'aucun homme n'osait même me regarder quand il était proche.
Et la façon dont il me touchait, me léchait, me fouillait dans le cou tout en me sentant, me donnait l'impression de dormir à côté d'un prédateur, un prédateur qui me réclamait irrévocablement jusqu'à ce que je sache qu'il n'y aurait jamais personne d'autre pour moi. Il était entièrement humain, mais j’avais juré qu’il abritait au plus profond de lui un animal impitoyable.
J'étais à Z. Il était à moi.

Et si c’était ça la noyade, je n’ai jamais voulu remonter à la surface.
📚




🖋
Elle me voulait. Elle l'avait fait depuis très longtemps. Je le savais à la façon dont elle mordait sa lèvre inférieure rose et pleine alors qu'elle me regardait.
Je la voulais depuis le moment où je savais quelle était cette émotion, depuis que j'étais assez vieux pour ressentir le afflux de sang dans mes veines chaque fois qu'elle était proche.
Je l'avais gardée près de moi, je l'avais gardée en sécurité. J'avais attendu, présagé mon temps jusqu'à ce que je sache qu'il n'y avait pas de retour en arrière pour elle, jusqu'à ce qu'elle sache sans l'ombre d'un doute que je ne la laisserais jamais partir.
Et quand j'ai découvert qu'elle allait dans ce club ce soir, je me suis bien sûr invité tout de suite.

Primed by Lena Lucas

HERO - Z. Mechanic. 6’4 and muscular with short dark hair and bright blue eyes. Severely handsome.

HEROINE - Piper. College student (maybe). 5’5 with long dark hair and blue eyes.

OVERALL THOUGHTS - This review is mostly going to be based on what the author promises, and that’s “a good old-fashioned smut-fest with a HEA”. On this, she definitely delivers. This story couldn’t exist if you took the sex away. Now, because it’s also intended to be a romance and not just pure erotica, that’s where the story falls short. There’s very little information given on the characters, making their HEA a bit meh. Z, whose full name we’re never told, and Piper, are one-dimensional. Which I could argue is fine if you’re going for pure smut, but when you’re trying to sell me a love story on top of that, I’m going to need a little more information and personality. I’d hoped that maybe we’d get more details in the two epilogues, but no, not really. It’s 4-star smut with 2-star character development so overall, it’s a 3-star read for me. I liked it, but I didn't really like it.

This is my first time reading anything by this author and I think this might be the author’s first book. I’m going to read a few more as they come out to see if she gets any better with character development and details in the epilogues. I like the idea of smut with an HEA, and I do love that they’re both each other's firsts, so I’m onboard with the general idea. I just need a little bit more to make the romance aspect believable.

That being said, the writing was good, not clunky at all, and it definitely delivered the steam it promised. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a safe erotic romance with an emphasis on the erotic, and a happily ever after. It's short, too, so you'll be able to devour it within an hour.

SAFETY

Age: Piper - 21*; Z - 23**

*Not specifically stated, but she mentions she’s in school as well as being old enough to buy alcohol so 21 is my best guess.

**Not specifically mentioned, but Piper notes that he didn’t leave for college after he graduated and that he’s been working at the same mechanic’s shop for five years so my best guess is 23.

Sexual History: Both are virgins

Condoms: Not used

Heat Level: Erotic - 5/5

Push/Pull: No, but they've been dancing around each other for YEARS prior to the start of the story. We're never told why neither made a move sooner even though the question is brought up.

Separation: No

Cheating: No

OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama: No

Sex scene with OW/OM: No

Abuse: No

Possible Pet Peeves/Triggers: No

HEA/HFN: HEA There are two epilogues. The first is six months later. They’re married and she’s pregnant. The second epilogue is an unknown amount of time later and is just another sex scene. She had their baby boy at some point.

[Vinessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Friends with benefits? If only.
these two waltz and tease each other until they combust. One little dance does.
Hot and steamy is the name of the game and they are both playing no strike outs here. They knew it was inevitable but neither said a word. He kept the on lookers away and she loved the possessive beast. she always belong to him it was time to make him react. it is hot it is steamy it is a bout time.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

HOOOOOTTTTTT DAYUMMMM!!!

This book was SMOKIN!!!

Seriously the steam level on this one was enough to melt my kindle! Story was simple, boy and girl have been in love with each other but dancing around it. Hero is waiting for heroine to grow up, so he can stake his claim and he hits the tipping point where he can’t hold back any longer—and watch out!! FUUEEEGGGGOOOO!!!

Double virgin awesomeness, so no sliming around with others, they belong only to one another. No ow/om drama, no cheating or abuse. HEA with epilogue.

[J. Ockenhouse · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the kind of story that picks up after the meet and getting to know each other. We pick up where they already know who and what they want and spend many pages giving the reader an erotic ride that left me beyond satisfied. Considering the "secret" each share.

This is very detailed and made me feel like I was in the rooms with them. The ending was so befitting for them.

I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

Bedtime snippet 4 stars - Very short. It's about the length of 3 chapters. It started with anticipation but not much seduction. Supposedly, Z and Piper have known each other for years and are finally going to act on their attraction. Steamy scenes ensue. It has potential to be turned into a full length novel if the author wishes to do so. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

[Sarah C · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy moly. Lena Lucas' Primed is exactly what she promised... a quick and HOT read. Primed is a story about two individuals who have always felt a longing for the other and we are lucky enough to see what happens when they finally give into their desires. There was the perfect amount of build up and heat to make me want my own version of Z.

OMG. Primed was my first story by Lena Lucas and it was smoking hot. This was a quick and very steamy friends to lovers story. Z is obsessed with his friend's sister Piper. He has been possessive of her since forever but when he invites himself to go with her and her girlfriend to a club, he loses all control. He will let man know Piper is his and only his. If you enjoy OTT possessive alphas, you will love this short story. Cannot wait to read Pure, her next story.

[Julia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is exactly as described. Hot and sexy interactions with not a lot of conversation. If you are in the mood for that then this is your book. Definitely brings the heat when these two get it on. If you are looking for more of a story then this isn’t it.

For that quick, steamy story this one is pretty good.

[Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this short smutty story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were likable. Z has had a thing for Piper for years but was waiting to claim her. Piper has had a thing for Z for years and is tired of waiting for him to make a move. After they both decide to claim each other the fireworks are HOT! No angst or drama which was awesome. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book.

3.5⭐️
I loved the storyline and the characters! But I just wish there were a few more chapters on the actual storyline instead of just the intimate scene😊I enjoyed the fact that it was DV and the next book sounds amazing 😍

This is short steamy read that will give you all sorts of visions in your mind. Coming together of innocence that are primed for the taking. No drama, just pure lust, attraction and possessiveness for the alpha male staking his claim on his woman. New author to me, and looking forward to reading more.

[Mulan Book Princess · Rating 4 out of 5]

A super hot and steamy short story! The attraction between Piper and Z was so hot that it could actually melt your panties off while reading! However, this attraction was a long time coming, and the underlying emotion is love. This novel is highly erotic, but so enjoyable to read!

Z and Piper have been dancing around each other for awhile. One night at a club is all it takes for Z to act on his possessive jealousy. This book is short and hot. It’s so steamy it’ll knock your socks off.
