Little Blue

Rate this book
I worked for Hudson Kent for years.
He’s not a man you refuse.
But I did.
Because no matter how much I wanted him, chasing the sexy, older CFO would’ve ruined the reputation I worked so hard to build. It just wasn’t a risk I was willing to take.
Until now.
Hudson isn’t my boss anymore. There’s nothing stopping us from acting on our mutual attraction and acting out every dirty fantasy we’ve ever had.
So, if he calls me now, there’s only one reply I can give.
Yes, Sir.

Little Blue is steamy, dark, and spicy romantic erotica book that is the first installment of the Blue series, but doesn't end with a cliffhanger. It features a domineering, demanding millionaire hero and the strong, smart heroine who is his equal in every way, even when she's doing as she's told. HEA guaranteed. Download today and get ready to feel the heat.

When you want some spice BANG!! this novella was some good spice. That is all with lil plot and all the steam you need.

Avery has been crushing on her ex boss for awhile she had to leave to keep herself sane. But that doesnt stop him from texting her and wanting her back he's been wanting her for the past 3 years just never made a move now he can. And its alittle hard since Avery is keeping that wall up thinking things won't work. It does test them which i love. HUDSON!!! he's a great guy I loved everything about that man! His diety mouth his sweetness ugh.. can we talk about the car scene and the "camera scene" GIMMIE MORE!! I wanna be a good girl for Hudson ehehe

Little Blue was a great fast paced erotic novella. I picked it up because of the sex and it delivered. I got amazing scenes with spanking, edging and being tied up to name just a few. Avery and Hudson were great but I felt it was only physical and their love was rushed. It was only towards the last 20% I got some depth to them so it became more emotional between them and not just sexual. I would’ve liked some flashbacks to them having worked together for three years and not just them mentioning it to strengthen that connection. Still a great story and I enjoyed Little Blue.

Review:

Little Blue by Eva Marks is my second book by this author, and my new instant fave! This really had soooo many things that worked for me, honestly, it was a little scary how much worked…

The FMC used to work at the same company as the MMC, although the MMC was in a high leadership position versus the FMC’s assistant-level role. However, their jobs did necessitate some inter-office communication, and they fell for each other instantly – cue the mutual pining and unresolved sexual tension. I mean, they lusted and loved after each other for 3 whole years, and nothing happened between them, not until after the FMC left the company for a new position. And that’s where this story kicks off.

The writing was great. It read quick and fast-paced, even though Eva was able to make the romance feel deliciously tense and slow-burny, even after the first sex scene. The two main characters really bounced well off each other, and their chemistry was off the charts. I could really feel their mutual pining, and even if we only get flashes of memory regarding their time actually working together, you still felt all the buildup of it, which made the spice that much more rewarding.

.5 points off for dragging out the FMC’s trust issues with only a limited amount of pages to work with, but nothing crazy, and the writing and spice makes up for it in spades.

I’ll definitely be reading the sequel and prequel to this, along with every other thing Eva Marks writes.

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Darkness: 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Sub Genre: Office/ BDSM
POV: Dual 1st Person
M/F
Stand Alone? Yes.

It isn’t often I give a novella 5⭐️s. Most of them feel like something is missing. Like there should have been more story somewhere. This one however, left me wanting absolutely nothing. It was exquisitely done. The steam was intense without sacrificing any of the story, the characters had a chemistry that is rare and absolutely enrapturing, the story kept me enthralled from start to finish, and I devoured it in such a short time it surprised even me.

I definitely see myself coming back to this story again and again for a quick, hot, and super sweet story to wash away any bad day. I am in love and plan to enjoy many more stories from this author. I feel like I may have found a new favorite.

Happy Reading my Friends!

While I didn't feel as connected to the characters, this was still a fun and delightful read. They really tried to work on communicating which is also a plus, and learned to trust eachother emotionally. Hudson took his role as dom very seriously and tried to not make Avery fall into her mind.

Love that.

“I said I’m falling for you, but I lied. I love you, Avery. I feel it everywhere. I love you, your smart mouth, your soulful eyes, your sense of humor, your tender heart.”

OH-EM-GEE this book was all kinds of hot, steamy, spicy goodness that I just couldn't get enough of! Hudson and Avery had me hooked from the first chapter to the last with their explosive chemistry and sexy AF scenes, I mean talk about needing to fan yourself it was that hot!!

"I’ll forget all about last night, make you scream my name so that pretty throat of yours wouldn’t be able to say anything else throughout the weekend.”

If you love one possessive dirty talking alpha and a fierce heroine not afraid to speak her mind with an age gap and a dash, well more like a heaping of BDSM then I highly recommend you read this book!!

This short novella was a mind blowing and neverending story of erotic and sexy scenes.

Avery and Hudson always liked each other since they started working together 3 years ago. But none of them acted upon the attraction, until after Avery stopped working at Hudson's company. I was soo happy that he finally decided to chase her and show her how great they can be together.

The story is short and the feelings between them were escalating really quickly, but this is why I like short sexy love stories. They are fast pacing and always have happily ever after.

Special thanks to the author Eva Marks for giving me the chance to enjoy this book on my way 😉.

Okay I am sooo glad I jumped right into this one after finishing Little Beginning because all the tension that was in the first book was definitely worked out in this one 🥵

Woahhhhh Hudson aka Sir, just gets better and better and man I'm not sure if I can handle this man. He is everything 🫠

I absolutely loved how relatable their relationship is and how hard outsiders can be when looking upon them. But I am so glad they were able to push through all of their obstacles and show the world that its them against the world and nothing nor anybody will stand in their way!

And that epilogue 🥹 just so absolutely heart warming.

Ugh this series has solidified my love for miss Eva so much more! 💜

The way she writes those spicy scenes 👩🏼‍🍳💋 👩🏼‍🍳💋 👩🏼‍🍳💋There are so many good scenes to choose a favorite but the office and desk scene is freaking amazing. There’s some plot which makes the book even better because you can feel for the characters

Oh my gosh , I love Hudson and Avery . When I stop daydreaming here about hot and demanding Hudson and I can put two words in a sentence I'll write something like a review about Little Blue 💙 . For now I'm out day dreaming . Thank you Eva Marks for the chance to read an ARC of that beauty .
💙💙💙💙💙
Ok , now that I'm back I have a confession to make : I have a list of hot 🔥 and dominant book boyfriends , and another one of favourite authors of hot and steamy romances . Ah , I said it , so now we can continue . These ladies are in my authors list - Jodi Ellen Malpas , Sylvia Day , Raine Miller . Now I am definitely adding Eva Marks to my list . So it's understandable that at the top of my book boyfriends list are these guys - Jesse Ward , Gideon Cross , Ethan Blackstone . And now Hudson Kent made it to that list . ( Sorry , Christian Grey , you never made it to The list ) .
The back story of Hudson and Avery with their daily communication for three years not only work related but also getting to know each other personally and keeping under wraps their attractions was enough . So it was logical when Hudson decided to make his move that all these pent up emotions exploded and the connection between them was so strong and mutual and in the same time hot and steamy . The chemistry is of the charts and through the roof . They both grow out of their insecurities and are all in when it comes to love and their relationship.
I loved the epilogue .
According to Goodreads and Amazon there is more to come from Eva Marks till the end of the year and I can't wait . And by the way , they're already on my " Want to read" list .
Eva Marks is a new author to me and Little Blue is her first book . I received an ARC and that's my honest review .

Little Blue by @evamarkswrites ARC review

Wow! This is my first book by this author and I loved it so much! I loved it so much and I can't wait to buy the physical copy.

Avery works at a fashion company and is the CFO and she can't get over her boss from her previous job. She is in a meeting and suddenly gets a text from him and it just throws her off track for the day. She has wanted him ever since they were working together.

Hudson has been attracted to Avery ever since she was working with him. He never acted on it but he could never get her out of his head. He was constantly imagining all the dirty things he wanted to do to her. He decided to text her and he knows the he is going to make her his.

I loved the nickname that Hudson called Avery. Little Blue there is just something about it that I fell in love with. The spicy scenes between them yess please. I could not get enough of them.

OH My…Wow. This was HOT - LAVA DEGREES🔥
I started the beginning of My Saturday with Good Morning Hudson! Or shall I say, Sir?
First Eva’s writing is absolutely beautiful and flowing, you don’t feel like you’re reading - literally, you are the characters!
Avery and Hudson are professionals in their own line of work with strong personalities who used to work together and still attracted to each other. I loved witnessing their progression during my read and the spicy steamy scenes were on point - What I would give for that CAR scene!!!!!
Eva we need more books from you. Thank you for letting me be a part of this♥️

This is my first ARC read. And it was perfect. I enjoyed this book so very much. It is a standalone novella. The MC are both hot professionals that worked together at one point. They no longer work together so they can finally act on their feelings. That act on those feelings they sure do.

The spicy scenes in this book are so hot. Between the car scene and the bedroom scene. Just wow.

The book is beautifully written by Eva. The characters are strong independent characters in their professional lives. But when they are not at work things are dramatically different. These characters are made for each other.

If you are looking for a book that is a quick but good read. This book is for you.

This book has age-gap, praise, possessive alpha male, bondage, and some degradation . If you are into any of those things give this book a read. You will not be disappointed.

Characters: Avery & Hudson
Trope: Age gap, BDSM, ex-boss

This is a quick, spicy read that features the dom/sub relationship of Avery and Hudson after Avery no longer works for him. I wish we could have gotten more backstory of when they were working together, but that’s just me wanting more plot as usual. I dropped a star due to the amount of overthinking done by Avery, it was so back and forth with no communication with Hudson. Overall I enjoyed this book and will continue the series.

If you love age gaps, and have a praise kink then this novella is perfect for you! this book is HOTTT in all the best ways. its a really quick read and you can tell from the beginning that the characters already know each other and have a history. that's what really helped bring the story to life the story didn't feel rushed or insta-love like.

i received this eBook as an ARC.

I liked this novella, but I didn’t love it. And I honestly can’t put my finger on why I didn’t love it. I feel like I just wasn’t connecting with the characters.

It has the following sub-genres:
▪️ Age gap
▪️ Workplace (previous boss)
▪️ BDSM
▪️ Sir/Little One

This debut novella from Eva Marks was a such a treat. The writing is easy to follow and engaging, with wonderful characters and plenty spice and chemistry. Hudson and Avery make such a great couple. Their relationship felt genuine and i couldn't get enough of those smexy scenes. A quick read but with a well developed plotline. Curl up and just fantasize with this book! I highly recommend it!

This story in a nutshell:
Age gap
All the steam
Possessive alpha male
Strong-headed heroine
Dirty talker
Praise kink

"I wish you could see yourself. So F*cking beautiful. So Mine."

What You'll Find:
--Erotic Novella
--Kink
--Possessive Alpha
--Workplace (prev. boss)
--Age Gap
--Dual POV

This was pure erotic spice. While I liked it, I had trouble feeling their connection. I thought it ended a bit abruptly too, he just proposed right there? really? Overall okay for me, but I think if you're looking for a quick hot read it's worth trying. I'll definitely give some of her others a try.

With Avery I am not myself. I’m hers.

3.75 little blue stars (:

Tropes:

~ age gap
~ former colleagues
~ BDSM (Bondage primarily)
~ edging
~ dom (MMC) sub (FMC)
~ car sex
~ mutual pining

I’d do anything, even jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, rather than disappoint her.
okay so we have a goner amongst us.

the push and pull was a complete no no
but oohhh this book was another reason why I love male POV
the devotion? the love? the pining? the reverent way he treats her? A++
the smut? A+
the plot? what plot?
once Hudson starts using his cognitive abilities I'm gone
____________

Blue series

0.5 Little Beginning (prequel)
1. Little Blue (3.75/5)
2. Little Halloween
3. Little Valentine

the series covers the same couple over the period of time ^^

Little Blue is the first part of Hudson and Avery's story. It was a good start, though, a bit fast-paced. They almost immediately begin having sex with one another after trying for years to ward off their attraction. Hudson is very adamant to make her his, and Avery is hesitant. Both of them have reservations about starting a new relationship. Hudson has been married before, and Avery, I believe, had just left a boyfriend a few months back or so.
