I always forget my kink is when the hero calls the heroine princess. 🥺 Also did not know this was a story set in the Lords universeâ€� love it!! I need more stories in this world. I LOVE THIS! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Sorry not sorry for repeating myself. 😇 A coincidence that I read this after Lily White’s The Five. Both *amazing* books featuring the slut heroine. While The Five had more of an exploration in femme fatale mystique, this was celebrating your inner slut.
Shantel writes smut on a level with Trent Evans. I’ve tried to finish other works by her but nothing compares to her Lords universe.
If you’re not into humiliation kink or smut, this won’t work for you.
This makes me very excited for The Sinner which is recently released and set among Lords.
Some further notes:
1. I enjoyed the simplicity of this story where it all starts from the hero publishing a clip of him and the heroine together. After the hero achieves what he wants by releasing the clip, I eye-rolled at the hero telling his friend to delete the original clip, as if people might not screen-record or in some way save the clip on their phone.
2. I would have loved a longer story to this couple because I'm actually very curious about how the Lords society works. The hero and his friends are recruited to be lackeys. They are lords, in a sense, but they don't interact with the likes of initiates like Ryat etc. However, I also think the story that we got was just perfect. I think the commentary on sluts is bang-on, where I also really appreciate the objective portrayal of CNC and humiliation kinks, and the juxtaposition between the hero giving the heroine what she needs versus the big bad guy.
3. We need more books like Shantel Tessier's Sabotage where it is an exploration into women's sexuality in the terrain of slut/femme fatale/nympo/hot mess. I like that the heroine never feels ashamed about herself, aware of society's hypocrisies. The only thing that is particularly messy is her hate/love relationship with her stepbrother, but I loved reading about their toxic relationship.

Yes, I love Shantel's work when she writes in this universe of the Lords. This is pretty much smut but there is a nice coherence to the story -very simple but it works! I loved the drama and felt each smut scene raised the stakes.
I'm actually finding it hard to connect to The Sinner, where the sex scenes are starting to bore me lol.

That's super helpful info because that was the book I was planning on starting with. I'll pick up a different one then!

I'm about 30% in and I'm hoping it picks up! Look forward to hearing your thoughts if you do end up reading one of her works :)
