And that moment when our tongues touched, something settled within me. There was nothing tentative about the way he kissed. He took charge, and he took possession. He kissed me like he’d been waiting two years to do it.
R for Rough was a short, sweet and kinky story that I couldn’t help but devour!
This was a fantastic read – I had a great time seeing Tracy and Griffin go from co-workers who could barely stand each other to a clingy, needy Daddy / boy dynamic. The chemistry between them was fierce, and the initial reluctance and animosity between them made things intriguing. It wasn’t long before Griffin admitted to his misplaced feelings though, and Tracy got the opportunity to act on the crush he’d been harbouring.
They were so hot together and I loved the primal play and Griffin’s sadism. Tracy was the perfect boy for him, and there were several scorching scenes throughout the story. They quickly fell into their dynamic, once they had talked things out they were both all in. It was fast paced, but it didn’t feel rushed to me. I think their shared past helped, as well as Griffin laying his cards on the table and their open communication.
I could have easily read more about Tracy and Griffin, and I didn’t feel ready to let them go at the end. R for Rough was a captivating read, and Cara Dee truly excels at writing kink that feels both authentic and raw, with a lot of vulnerability and affection between the characters. I just keep falling in love with her stories and characters – and Griffin and Tracy was no exception! If you’re into low angst romances with primal play and DD/lb, this needs to be on your TBR.
He chuckled darkly and kissed the spot below my ear. “I’m not goin’ anywhere, boy. I want you to hurt.”
