“I see you’re in heat, but, baby, I put out flames.”

Efrain Smith is a man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. When he meets a shy bookstore owner, he instantly knows he has to have her. Whether it’s his business or his women, Efrain dominates everything his hand touches.

Thyri Nelson has always played it pretty safe, never taking many risks or stepping out of her comfort zone. When she meets property manager Efrain Smith, she has no idea the waters she’s about to test. With thick sexual chemistry between them, Thyri finds herself drawn to a man who held the power to ruin her in more ways than one.

Efrain’s promise to introduce her to pleasure she’s never known before, is tempting. Will she indulge in this handsome new stranger, or will she resist the temptation?

Efrain!!! Sir!! We need the model number to purchase one of you because jeez!!! You go me wanting to try some things *taps husband’s shoulder*🤣🤭. But no seriously this was nasty and naughty in the best way possible. Thyri was quiet, minded the business that paid her and kept to herself. She caught Efrain’s eye yet for 6 months he prepared himself before he even approached her. After meeting and establishing a solid relationship, he introduced her to his world of kink and turned sis out!! I loved that even though this was an erotica, we got a really sweet storyline attached to it! Even Paco and Bambi made a love connection. KB never ceases to amaze me and I’m enjoying everything she has to offer the literary world!

It was cool that Efrain wanted to change his playboy behavior when he saw Thyri talking to his father....He was immediately attracted....this couple really got to know one another and Efrain brought out what was lying dormant in Thyri...she was freaky as hell too....This couple basically fit...two f***ing freaks...LOL

Sweet with a whole lotta Spice

Well shiii this was HOT 🥵 AND SPICY 🌶️ with a great storyline.

Efrain had been into BDSM for years against his family's wishes. He was a business man and they didn't like that life for him. Efrain was free and clear on who he was, but he had started to want more for himself. Seeing Thyri in his father's office, immediately felt like she just might be the cure. Reserved, slightly shy, hermit-like yet stunningly beautiful Thyri owned a bookstore in Efrain's family plaza. She was an unlikely match for Efrain on the surface, but they had a lot in common and she was very open minded.

Listen y'all the anticipation was CRAZY. Efrain was really holding out, had Thyri bussin off of words and a little action. It was wild and sexy. When sis broke him down and made him lose control it was everything. They were insatiable in the bedroom, and so sweet and nurturing outside of it. Efrain is the type of man you want to lead you. He knew just when to insert his dominance.

Perfect balance of sweet with a whole lotta spice😏

Whew! You did not come to play with this one huh? Efrain was bold, sexy, and nasty in the best way possible! Meeting a shy Thyri, turned his world on its side! He thought he could maintain with his flings, but he learned with the right one, there is so much more! Thyri was so adorable! She was beautiful and very comfortable with her life. When she meets Efrain, she is nervous and excited all at once! He makes her feel things, want things that she never imagined she could have. Their relationship is sweet, and I loved the way that Efrain built Thyri up with praise and encouragement, until she knew without a doubt that she was a badass! Dem scenes tho'........ lawd! 🔥 NOW, Thyri's sister Dessa was a live wire! 😂 Always on go mode, and into everything! Cannot wait to see what is up between her Remi and JaQuan next. Really enjoyed this one! 👍👍👍

This book gave me life and I read it in one sitting. Efrain and Thyri are everything. Their personalities compliment each other and they have genuine chemistry. I like how sex isn’t an important factor in their dynamic. Efrain wanted to get to know her before introducing sex. But baby when the sex started, the flood gates opened.

“My father treats me like a princess. Daddy fucks me like a little slut.”

This is one of my favorite lines in this book . Thyri came off as a quiet bookstore owner, but sis was bussin it WIDE OPEN for Efrain. This couple is freaky and they have toe curling sex that made me envious. This book checks all my boxes. It has a dirty talking hero, praise kink, mutual masturbation and a man who treats sex toys like friend and not a competitor. We love to see it. Efrain is a Dom so there are BDSM elements in this story. I loved how he prioritized and stressed the importance of consent. Another plus to this story are the side characters, I think we can look forward to a Poly romance in the near future from this author. Overall, this book is good. It’s really not heavy on plot, but it’s drama free and it comes with some really good sex. I definitely recommend it.

Yep😏

Well Damn!😜

This was everything I wasn't looking for and all of what I didn't know I needed. While very spicy and erotic, there were so many other elements to this story. I loved the slow burn between Thyri and Efrain. The family dynamics were so endearing and the love between friends and lovers was astounding. Kimberly Brown knows how to keep your attention and this book showcased that on many levels. So glad I read this one. A quicky, but goody😏. Highly recommend.

You know why you’re here

This was sexy and I enjoyed the rough neck style of Efrain. It gave exactly what I was supposed to. Personally I could have used either a touch more plot or about 30 less pages, especially because it was a little repetitive. But still a hot and easy read.

This was really fun and sexy

I haven’t read a whole lot of eroticas so I didn’t know what to expect but this was really good. I loved how there was a really solid storyline and she took the time to develop all the characters. The erotica scenes were on POINT. The BDSM opened my eyes to a lot and I appreciated the sex positivity through the entire story. It was dope and Efrain was everything. He was so amazing

Thyri x Efrain (Naughtyyyy)

Nastyyyyyy!!
Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele could never...Zane who?? I'm kidding. I love Zane.
Efrain and Thyri were so nasty. I try not to read erotica anymore, but because Kimberly Brown has such a way with words, I said what the hell and I decided to read this. I was not disappointed. If Efrain and Thyri were together, they were getting it in. Doesn't matter where or how. But….this was also so super sweet. Efrain worshiped the ground she walked on. He wanted to move mountains for her. I love that Thyri was so open minded and Efrain respected her. This was a really good naughty read. I wanna read Dessa's story, but I just know it's gonna be a lot..but it is what it is. I need to know how she handled her situation.
Kimberly Brown just doesn't disappoint, so go ahead, bestie. It's safe 📖 📚 📖

This was EVERYTHING

Thyri and Efrain were utter perfection. Kimberly Brown gave us a couple with no drama who just got each other and I absolutely loved that. I loved that he took his time before going all in because he recognized her as his souls counterpart and there was no way he was going to mess that up. Plus, the mouth on that man had me agreeing to commands. Thyri, it's always the quiet ones that you never see coming because she gave as good as Efrain did once the giving commenced. Y'all, I laughed, hollered, and melted into a whole puddle reading this book. While not really heavy on plot, the story between Thyri and Efrain is worthy of a read, a glass of wine, and possibly a smoke if you into that and steamy as the sidewalk in the summertime after a shower.

This book had me saying, Alexa, play: F.riend Y.ou C.an K.eep, Til the Cops Come Knocking, 40 Shades of Choke, Beggin' & Pleadin, Butterflies, and so much more.

Home run....

Mrs. Brown is knocking ⚾ these tropes out of the park, hitting home runs every time she is up to bat. Efrain and Thyri didn't come to play. This book gives you every feel for a hot, sultry, steamy romance. I loved how Efrain and Thyri meshed together. It was ironic their dogs were the same breed. Bambi was a lot more cultivated than Pac though. However, her waving was so adorable because you knew it took time and patience from Thyri to teach her. Efrain and Thyri genuinely loved and cared for each other outside of the kink. The affection was blazing. My favorite part was the cemetery visit because Efrain held Thyri like a baby and allowed her to cry her feelings out.

This is a well-executed and written novel. The plot was superb. Mrs. Brown introduced us to new characters that I am hoping 🤞🏾 to read about soon. Dessa, Remi, and Quan have more than enough to sort out. I am ready to see how everything pans out. To know what I am referring to you have to read this book. You have to buckle up because it's going to be an adventure.

Yaaasss honey😜😏💦💦💦

Queen Kimberly Brown did not come to play with her new release/first erotica. I was drawn in from the beginning, sitting on the edge of my seat anticipating what's gonna happen next.
From the moment Efrain laid eyes on Thyri he was determined to make her his. He pursued her and didn't let up, not even after she agreed to go out with him. He was so intentional in his pursuit, and everything that followed. His family and friends couldn't believe he found a woman that he wanted to settle down with and who accepted his sexual appetite. Thyri was truly a closet freak when she her and Efrain first started out, but Bay-be that man brought her inner slut😜. 44-45% in was their first phone sex scene and, Whew Chil💦💦💦💦. I truly enjoyed EVERYTHING about their courtship, sexual escapades and, journey to their HEA💕
Now let's talk about her Sissy Pooh Dess, their friend Remi and Efrain's bestie Quan. Those three were driving themselves and each other crazy after hooking up at Quan's party🤦🏾😂. I CAN'T WAIT to read their story😏.
IT'S MOST DEFINITELY A MUST READ FOR ME!!!

🔥🔥🔥

Baby, this book here was full of hot and steamy erotic sex. Thyri definitely had me fooled. Thought she was some shy girl but when she meets Efrain all bets are off and he brings the freak out of her. They were meant for each other. While Efrain was upfront with his desirable pleasure of BDSM he was very careful with how far he went with Thyri. This book will definitely have your body temperature rising with all the freaky activities these two engage in. If your looking for a read where the characters are comfortable exploring their sexual inhibitions then this is the book for you. The author did a great job with this erotica.

Something she can feel

When the shy girl meets up with a man who likes to experiment with kink you get a bomb novel. I enjoyed reading this story and I appreciated each character and sub character and their attributes and how Efrain and Thiry balanced each other. She felt safe with him so she was able to explore things with him that she may not have with anyone else and Efrain prepared himself for a relationship with Thiry that started from friendship until she was ready to take things further. I loved Dessa and Remi as the secondary characters and I can’t wait to see what’s next for them and JaQuan.

Wellll OMG!!!!

Now this book had me in my hot horny feelings 🤣🤣🤣 the chemistry between Efrain and Thyri was top of the line. For a man like Efrain to see a woman and wait six months to go to her I knew he was going for the long run because that’s what he wanted. Thyri was about that business and she opened herself up with true pleasure with the right man. So many women give theirselves to men and we don’t get anything out of it, but to find a MAN that helps you love/find YOU and explore your desires you don’t let him go. That Anniversary date had me at the edge of my seat for sure 🥵🥵🥵.

I am so looking forward to JaQuan & Iridessa’s (Dessa) story, I see a poly relationship happening there.

If I could give the story 10 stars I would, it’s definitely a MUST read but make sure you have some time because you will not want to put this book down!

Efrain is what every woman desires in a man

Where is my Efrain?? He is the prototype of the man I want lol. This story is a good balance of kinky sex and growing into a comfortable relationship with someone. The patience on both Thyuri and Efrain's part is something you rarely see nowadays. It was truly refreshing! Also seeing the true Dom and sub relationship for what it truly is versus what porn shows us was amazing as well. I cannot wait for Remi, Dessa, and Jaquan's story because I know it's gonna to be super juicy!!

This story captured my attention from the very beginning! The way Kimberly Brown told this story had me engrossed from the beginning and I hate that it took me so long to read it. Thyri and Efrain had me wanting to find my husband quick! By the time I got to the end, I’d cried, laughed, and 💦. 😆😆😆
