Wow. Ayelle Burke really did a great job with Sir. Malik and Saylor's relationship had ups and downs that kept me engaged at every turn. Saylor's growth as a female character was well-written and just what I needed as a reader to get even more invested in the story. I just love Malik - he's the perfect book bae. And Sir belongs on my list of well witten spicy books from black authors. Though not interconnected, Ayelle Burke's KING and Sir have an overlap of characters and explore similar topics - Black love, BDSM, self-discovery, and being open to love. I highly recommend KING, which I literally devoured in about 2 days because it was so good. Somehow, Sir is even better! Must read material for anyone who enjoys books about Black women being loved properly, fans of women's self-discovery in romance books, and anyone who loves very spicy books.

I hope we get more about Shani. Though a complicated character, I think Ayelle Burke does a decent job of depicting the character because she's so complex in her pain. I'd love to learn that she somehow gets connected with the mysterious new member of Pleasure'z that we meet in chapter 26 of Sir. Fingers crossed.
