Adler & Violet: A Dynamic That Changed Both Their Lives
I tend to stay away from most books featuring a BDSM dynamic because they are either a reach or utterly ridiculous. This book is neither and I loved it. This book was actually very well written.
We meet Violet, a sex worker who rents a room at a brothel where she meets a new client, a mysterious, gorgeous man named Adler upon leaving. She agrees to go back to his house to complete their "transaction" and she finds out that he is “more” than just a man. He is in fact a man, possessed by an alien being that he can shift into at will.
After several very defiling acts confirm this, Violet can't help but admit she enjoyed the shenanigans that took place. The morning after, Adler makes her a proposition: be his pet for the next 30 days and he’ll pay her $50K. She agrees and this is where things change... drastically. Violet discovers that Adele’s tastes range from lewd to downright degrading. She wonders if she may be in over her head. Or... is this the type of role she feels she finds comfort in and has been waiting for?
This was a different type of retelling. This was based off of the movie Pretty Woman. If you're familiar with the movie, picture it in a BDSM dynamic... an extreme BDSM dynamic with some non-con, dub-con, and lots of sharing involved.
This book was VERY spicy. There are many triggers in this book as it is a fantasy paranormal but based on a full-blown, realistic, Master/pet dynamic. The heroine is treated as a possession and if you have a problem with this, then take a pass on this one.
But, if you always wanted to see an alternative version of the cult classic movie, and BDSM is your thing, you will enjoy this book as much as I did!
“M.C. Luna is such an engaging writer who has a knack for putting you directly in the driver’s seat of her characters. You feel what they feel and for some reason, empathize with them and their dark thoughts. This is the second book of hers where I chose the “morally gray guy”, Adler to win. I’m starting to wonder; am I really as dark as her characters or is she and her writing style just that brilliant? I’m betting on the latter, for my own sanity's sake!
