Let’s take a look inside of Malibu by Emmy Sanders, the second book in the Elite 8 Studio series.
I adored Henrik and Mal so much! They had a great connection from the start and their romance was so sweet and swoony. I loved Henrik’s possessiveness and how it came out in certain scenes – they were both just so into each other and I was totally there for it! A captivating and beautifully written story with lots of feels.
What I loved about Malibu:
• how soft Henrik became around Mal
• the cute messages in braille
• the friendships
• Benjamin, the cheeky personal assistant
• great mental health rep
How it begins…
“I don’t know about this, Jerome.”
“Don’t know about what?” the man asks, raising one arched eyebrow my way.
Tropes
- age gap
- hurt / comfort
- sex worker
- forced proximity
- disability rep
- client / escort
- found family
“I don’t want them touching you,” I grit out once I’ve released his flesh. Mal pants as I drag my lips lower, sucking small kisses against the side of his neck.
“I get it now,” he breathes out. “The exclusivity thing. You’re a territorial motherfucker.”
What to expect
- all the possessiveness
- blind MC
- affection and small touches
- emotional read
- mental health rep
- kittens!
- past abuse / trauma
Escort. Porn star. Camboy. Malibu.
None of that matters. Because, for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m finding a piece of myself in Henrik’s arms.
