One moment with the girl, however, and Matthew's dark plans are thoroughly derailed. Brought together by fate, they bond in a heartbeat, unable to be apart. Insatiable.

the hero after the heroine told him "I hate you":



me:



"He was seconds from jumping off the roof of Borden Enterprises last night, but he was thwarted by security. It took five men to keep him from leaping..."

***4 STARS***

This was an interestingly good read by Jessa Kane. I think this is the first one I have read by her set in an office with a billionaire (one of my favorite tropes). Very well written and hot.

4.5⭐️

“Does she have father issues? Yes.
Am I here to solve them? No. I’m here to bask in every piece of her. Good or bad.”


i'm a whore for JK. pls <3

anyway, this is my fav JK book so far. it was just so fucking funny i loved it. my fav quotes:

“No one goes near this pussy but me,” I shout into her stomach, my thumb working on her clit, extending the release as long as I can. More. More. I want to make her come every second of the rest of my life. “No one. Ever. My face is the contract and you just inked your signature on it.”


need i say more? possessive hero... <3

“If I injure you I’ll kill myself, I swear to God.”


he in fact almost jumped off a roof bc of her <3

“And that pussy keeps on making that squeak sound.”


idk what this sentence means but i LAUGHED.

EDIT#1-I forgot to mention that the h slapped the H.😝

*squirming in the seat*
😛BOW CHIKA WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

😛SMUT QUEEN IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHY AREN'T ALL BILLIONAIRES THAT -

Young.
Charming.
Alpha.
Devoted.
Swoony.
Dirty-talking like Mathew Borden In real life?

WHY ARE THEY-

Pot-bellied.(They ALL are)
Bald(Jeff Bezos
🤪)
Decietful(You know that i am talking about Bill Gates right?)
OLD.😶
ASIAN.🙄




✅I am NOT a fan of office romances.
That's why.............4 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐


💪MATHEW BORDEN-31-BILLIONAIRE because ..........because they all ARE supposed to be.



All thoughts suspend when the man behind the desk stands up.
Matthew Borden.
Oh.
Oh, he’s taller than I was expecting. At least six three.
And the pictures didn’t quite bring across his…magnetism. His intensity.
Fine. I can understand women wanting a tête-à-tête. Who wouldn’t want to slip their fingers into that thick black hair? Mine would probably get tangled and we’d have to use peanut butter to get them loose, because I was born stupidly awkward.



💜KAYLEE HALE-21-"THE TEMP".



The girl—Kaylee—is beautiful in an artistic way. Like she’s been painted, instead of born among humans. A full, pillowy mouth that should only be possible to achieve with a paintbrush. A delicate chin. But it’s those eyes. Those eyes keep drawing me back in.
I’m going to annihilate her.
.

🤩No you WON'T.
You'll fall in love with her.

RANDOM BLAH BLAH BLAH................-

✅This gave me "Coach" vibes.

✅Since both MCs were lying to each other till the end.

✅I liked Kaylee a LITTLE less than Mathew.

✅Reason being, that , i did not fully understand her.

✅The author should have detailed more about her issues.

✅For some reason, i did not UNDERSTAND her issues completely.

✅Maybe because the book was DAMN short.🥺

✅Jessa if you're reading this , may i request for a LONGER book next time.?

✅Because , I CANNOT EVER GET ENOUGH OF YOU....uhmmm.....i mean............your books obviously.😬

✅And like the hungry bit** that i am , i sometimes turn the last few pages back to make sure that i REALLY did finish the book, and NOTHING is left.

✅Then i wistfully read the epilogue.


✅But, what i enjoyed THE MOST in this book was-

💜Daddy Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiinkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!



✅Apart from Dani Wyatt, Jessa Kane and Alexa Riley.
NO ONE writes Daddy Kink better.




✅THIS GUY MADE ME SWWOOOOOOOOON.

✅Coz the scene in the rain was-



🟥🟥SPOILERS🟥🟥


❣Virgin gal.

❣H not a manho.

❣10 year age-gap.

❣Very celibate guy.

❣No cheating.

❣H TRIED to attempt suicide when h left him.(Which should NOT make me fawn over him and get all swoony and shit, but it DID)

❣No sex scene with OP.

❣HEA.

❣Epilogue-DOES NOT HAVE LITTLE NUGGETS RUNNING AROUND🤬.( I am angry)




💖I WOULD LIKE TO THANK Lori[hiatus] FOR PROVIDING ME THE LINK TO DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK.

Why can’t she write longer books?!?

I would devour them faster than a kid eating candy in a candy store. The devotion her Hs have to their soulmates (h’s) is incomparable. These last couple of Hs have been wanting to unalive themselves for hurting their women 😅. I know… it’s OTT, but man, it’s always fun to read 🤡.

Matthew (31) is a boss and has found a way to buy real estate and make tons of money. He’s seeking revenge for what his parents suffered through years before when they were incarcerated for 15 years. The man to blame is none other than Kaylee’s (21) dad. So he’s going to take the competition through the storm and squash him. Then he finds out that her dad’s sending Kaylee as a temp to work for him, and he’s gonna make sure it all works in his favor 😈.

Kaylee doesn’t feel loved by her parents. They’ve basically told her she’s disappointed them, so when her dad asks her to pretend to be someone else and acquire intel on Matthew and his business moves, she reluctantly agrees, all in the name of pleasing her parents.

Of course, in true Jessa Kane form, as soon as Matthew sees Kaylee, his thoughts of revenge take a back seat, and he becomes OBSESSED. Actually, this is probably the closest book I’ve read by JK where it’s dubcon and goes a little darker 😈😉.

I mean, if my mouth’s saying no but my body’s saying yes, then is it REALLY dubcon🤡? Lol. I love me a bull-dozing H, and Matthew is exactly that 💅 . Kaylee can try to say no, but he has a way of convincing her to submit to him 🥵 EVERY 🔥time 😅.

Of course, the smexxy times are pure 🔥🔥🔥besides Matthew’s dirty talk and 0r@l fixation with her body, we get one of my favorite scenes in V books- the surprise V one 😉.

Oh. Side note. I love the scene where she slaps him 😅 because he had to make it up to her, and that was hot as f 🔥🥵.

I really enjoyed it (just not the length 😏)

Im...im shocked how much I enjoyed this one!!

Yes guys it has daddy kink lol so mark that on that bingo board. But yes Matthew is a powerful cold billionaire who just works 24/7 and finds out a spy is coming to get info he has a plan get into her pants and send her crying back to her father. And when he meets Kaylee he is sprung but he has to keep reminding himself she's trying to ruin him.

As for Kay she's only doing this because she thinks she owes her family because all they gave her plus her dad company might go under thanks to Matthew's company. The tension is strong and both are feeling that "guilt" when they get closer to one another until test happen and one fales.. WE ALSO GET IF I CANT HAVE HER IM KILL MYSELF!! I was stunned..

No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight drama, sexy times, virgin gal and tiny manwhore (idk when he last fucked)

My God, I can’t seem to concentrate. I don’t understand the odd click that happened inside of me when she walked into this office. Like…my soul was expecting her.

This might be my favorite Jessa Kane book... EVER. I don't think I can explain how much I loved it adequitly.

It has the things that absolutely send me over the edge. I LOVE a devastated hero and a hero that fucks up and has to emotionally pay for it. I get both of those things with Matthew and I am here for it. He was so completely broken. I'm so happy that Kaylee didn't just get over what he did. She left him, and because of that, he suffered. That is the shit that I am here for.

The characters were great and their motivations were deep for such a short read. Yes, there is daddy kink and yes, Kaylee has daddy issues. Matthew even knows and admits it. It was definitely hot and steamy but the other stuff just won me over. I'll be re-reading this sooner rather than later.

Read 2: I still really loved this quick story. What really does it for me is how absolutely and completely devastated Matthew is after Kaylee leaves him. Trying to jump off the roof of a building? *chef’s kiss”

"Temp" is the story of Kaylee and Matthew.

Another JK smutty tale, this time with the plot of revenge, lies and a secret sex tape. I dont want to give out the plot, but we have an innocent heroine, insane hero, daddy issues, drama and a HEA.

Was it the best JK? No. Was it a good one time read? Yes. I mean I wish it had more angst, and something more.

Safe

This is yet another fast-burn romance novella by Jessa Kane! I loved the enemies-to-lovers approach, and both Kaylee and Matthew are keeping secrets from each other. This is a great palate cleanser after the slow-paced horror novel that I just read, but it's not super memorable.

Jessa Kane quote of the day;

Sweating, burning alive for her, I grip my dick and guide it to her sopping wet hole, pressing until she blooms open and allows my head inside. Like a suckling mouth. “Oh Jesus,”

Suckling mouth ??

As usual, another bad Jessa Kane book. And I have read so many of her books, I can count the good ones with one hand only (I think, can't even remember the plots after I'm done). Read this book if you want to check if you know the red flags of a relationship.

I can't review this book without describing my thought process and minor spoilers so:

Chapter 1: 1 eye roll given
Chapter 2: "Who wouldn’t want to slip their fingers into that thick black hair? Mine would probably get tangled and we’d have to use peanut butter to get them loose" Eye roll in disgust, who tf uses peanut butter for their hair?! And insta attraction trope is in action
Chapter 3: Not only does Matthew think he can spank a girl so she can feel "found", he is also a big baby who can't take no for an answer. Cringe line: "My face is the contract and you just inked your signature on it". And he called her by her real name, is that a typo or is she just deaf? Three eye rolls in irritation
Chapter 4: Kaylee is an idiot to keep giving permission to a man just because he coaxed her to. One angry eye roll because where are your boundaries and self respect???
Chapter 5: Matthew thinks he had found his soulmate within 24 hours, I don't believe in that cliche. Too irritated to roll eyes.
Chapter 6: Why go to the park for your hanky panky, what did the trees do to deserve this? And dropping the L-word faster than Thor picking up the Mjölnir, disapproving eye rolls given
Chapter 7: There we have it, the typical fall out. And that too over something so small. Maybe it's time Jessa moves on from the typical "I'll die without you" cringey lines. "The I knew it" eye rolls were given
Chapter 8: Oh this is new, the MC being brought to a mental health facility because of a suicide attempt. But the drama soon ends bc Kaylee faints and Matthew reiterates that he would die without her and she affirms him their hearts would go on strike without one another and HEA.

And oh the sex tape of their first time that she likes to watch alone as foreplay to the next time they do the deed, the fact that he had taken it without her consent and yet she's masturbating to it.
Am I supposed to be irrationally reading this? And be okay with this?
I know for a mini book of 82 pages I should be more lenient but what the heck is with all the red flags?? It's a sin to my conscience if I rate this book high.

EDIT 23 JAN 1222PM: I completely forgot she was supposed to go in as a spy but did absolutely no shit, like stick to the plan girl????

TW: suicide.
This was a lot. A lot of codependency and troubling behavior but on some level this is what I expect from Jessa Kane. With her books I either find the daddy kink bearable or jarring. In this book it was only bearable because there were other aspects that put me off more. Also, I’m a temp and I wish one of my jobs ended with a rich partner and never having to work again.

Whew. Jessa Kane, the queen of filthy smut.
This was short, and sort of ridiculous, and totally over the top, and completely, wholly filthy goodness.

There was that completely unhinged level of possession and obsession from both characters, as always. Which I for some unhealthy reason find waaay too hot.
There was a tiny little Daddy kink. Just the honorific this time.
Kaylee is a 21 year old virgin.
Matthew is 31.
Plus there’s secrets.

And a video…

So hot.
So filthy.
Definitely OTT.

Jessa just gets me.
Every time.

Was enjoying the book until just past 80% when it all turned into an offensive dumpster fire.
I really like Jessa Kane’s stories, and can look past many issues for some good erotica, but this turned into some bullshit.
