Priceless

Product Information

dubcon-ish - the H is paying the h for smexx but the h needs the money… so there’s a little coercion involved

She was vulnerable, yes, sassy with the hero and funny sometimes - yet also insecure to no end, as much an overachiever and a peoplepleaser as she was a crybaby, and that got old at some point. PRICELESS' is a full length, erotic romance novel by 'New to me Author' Miranda Silver. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' Special Hate to Christina's so-called BFFs and douche ex. Also her judgy parents. Shame on you all. There are certain things I’m looking for, and certain things I’m not.” His voice was matter-of-fact. “I don’t want a girlfriend. I don’t want one-night stands. I want sex on a regular basis, with one woman, the way I like it.”My issues came when I was around 80% in the book, pretty close to the climax of the story and sadly the execution was not the best in my opinion. Hello, darkness my old friend is singing in my mind whenever I look at this book. But I am hurt that Christina didn’t know this song. But Christina's case went over the top and her constant whining about being not as perfect as her sister untill the very end did a number on my nerves. Although—because I can’t leave anything alone—I do feel the need to point out that there are occasionally sections like this: You feel so tight and new,” he crooned. I arched into his hands. “I’d almost say…innocent. But we both know the truth. You’re anything but innocent. I don’t have a sweet little virgin over my lap. I know it. Your family knows it too.”

this book was just something else. i feel like my brain is just dead after reading it. not particularly in a bad way fjdkkfkg its an alright read igBrendan's heart beat faster. He stroked a line between her breasts. “Are we still above the waist?”

The H is calm cool and collected. His mystery is helped along by the way the author limited his POV. I loved it. We only hear from him when she has some pertinent information to drop. (Exactly how I like it 🤷🏼‍♀️) He’s so dominant and mean, reveling in mean dirty smexx … but he has a sweet side too, and was just as good at praise. 😍😍 his whole ”mum and ex situation” was confusing me the whole book and then when i knew the truth i was just sad for him ngl The college drama was a bit embarrassing. Her piece of shit ex made the most pathetic villain; together with her passive aggressive ex-bestie, who behaved like a 12 y.o. ( no offence to any 12 year olds!); and her mother who basically asked to be slapped silly. BLOGGER The Man of the Hour is the third book in the Next Door series, featuring Brendan and Sonia! This book was really sexy. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts. BUT I wish the hero has shown more vulnerability around the heroine. The heroine was constantly in distress or in a weaker position financially and emotionally, so having the hero be there for her at the end would have tied up the romance better. Since this book had to do the classic "Im breaking up with you because I dont deserve you" as the climax, their HEA felt rushed and unfinished.there was a lot of smut. i wouldnt consider it good smut tho. it was pretty repetitive and boring ngl i wasnt really into. also some parts made me laugh like im sorry, but i cant take some of it seriously

How do you feel about how the story was told?: The plot didn’t drag and there was wild chemistry between the MC’s. I enjoyed the secondary characters too. For a start, whatever snarky bullshit I have to say about the sex scenes, the fact remains that Christina—despite some initial reservations around the sex-for-money angle—is explicitly and enthusiastically into what is happening, both in and out of the bedroom. Out of the bedroom she likes having the money and the convenience of regular sex on a pre-arranged schedule (I mean, maybe it’s my cusp-of-Virgo speaking but who wouldn’t, I love me some hard logistics). In the bedroom she’s essentially getting to live out all her fantasies with a man who proves himself trustworthy and is, incidentally, extraordinarily hot. Plus, it’s very clear that this isn’t one of those situations where the hero has to essentially deliver the heroine’s sexuality to her. He helps her express her submissive/masochistic desires, yes, and gives her opportunity to explore them but it’s pretty clear they’ve always been part of her. It’s actually kind of … um … heartwarming? Have I lost my mind? to see Christina grow in sexual confidence over the course of the book, to the point she’s comfortable enough to express her need for hurt and humiliation very openly and without shame. Or rather, with shame. But with the kind of eroticised she she actively wants. Personal taste in sex scenes aside—and I’m aware I’m basically doing the erotic romance equivalent of claiming you read Playboy for the articles—there was still enough going in Priceless to keep me interested and invested. Some of it was pure “what is going on with character [x], what happened in Italy” type curiosity, but the more I read, the more book dismantled my assumptions and expectations, and the more interesting a process that became.Another rec from r/romancebooks with the promise of “the hottest dirty talk you’ll ever hear”. Well, I can safely say, this was okay. Ultimately, there’s something … sweetly equitable about their dynamic, despite the fact they’re playing with power exchange. I think because they’re college students there’s, honestly, an odd sort of innocence to it, almost? Is innocence the right word? Obviously it’s hot and dirty to them, but there’s also an air of mutual play and discovery that gives their bedroom antics a welcome lightness. And it was nice—refreshing—to see them engaging in the sort of kink that is, in fact, accessible to people on a budget. Which is to say, they have a bed and, at one point, some rope but mostly they just have each other’s bodies. I know the billionaire dom(me) complete with sex dungeon is a fantasy/trope for a reason (and one I have myself written) but—in life and art—the ever more intimate relationship between capitalism and BDSM bugs the shit out of me. I love you.” His rough voice pulled an involuntary sound from me. “You're mine, Christina. You always have been, from the first time I touched you.”
