Not very good at all. Unrealistic with a bizarre series of events.

Very good for a short story. I only rank short tories on a scale of 1-3, so this one is at the top of my ranking list. I thoroughly enjoyed Sage and Benji, wish I could see more of him. Since I enjoyed Sugar, Sugar so much and it was a short book, I'll be diving headfirst into Sweet Heat, which I've heard is even better.
Spice: 🥵🥵 - Benji might be the king of the praise kink.

I had a really really hard time connecting with the characters in this novel and in the end, the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze for me. I wish I hadn't read it as it added nothing to my life. Wish I could say something positive about the book, but I really have nothing.

I don’t rate shorts higher than 3 stars, so this one got a perfect rating for me.
The characters were interesting and the storyline was engaging. I would’ve enjoyed a full novel, too.

I didn't expect to enjoy For His Pleasure as much as I did but that's what I get for doubting Kimberly Brown - she's such a great writer. This was a unique erotica story, but I do think that the story's timeline was a bit unrealistic, so that's why I couldn't make it a 5 star read. That said the characters are loveable and unique, there's no drama, there's a celebration of normal-regular-everyday men and normal-regular-everyday women. The story was engaging and entertaining. The spice was...whew chile! This is a must read for anyone who enjoys erotica.

Just kinda average.
I expected a much spicier book and I didn’t get it.
And I really didn’t like the characters either. Would’ve appreciated a book about Charity and Herman, though. That would’ve been a fun and informative read.

Books like Carter and Demi: A Sensual Affair make me feel justified when I give novellas lower ratings for poor character development or subpar storytelling. ML Bash is proof that your novella can be a full story. Thank you!!! Carter is chef's kiss for me. I thoroughly enjoyed Demi's character and I appreciate that Bash made her question falling for Carter and his true intentions because it was in alignment with her backstory and profession. This is my first time reading a story like this, so it was very unique. ML Bash set a high bar and I will definitely be exploring more of her catalog.

This was awful. There was no real character development, no substantial plot, and the characters were stereotypical, vile, and vulgar.
Who would honestly condone their children having sex in the kitchen pantry in a full house with someone who isn’t a partner?
India wanted to write a vulgar sex-filled book. Got it. But did it have to be so subpar?

An interesting love story about Efrain's search for a woman who can satisfy his kink, while honoring his more vanilla relationship desires.
It was fun to watch the FMC, Thyri (pronounced theory), come out of her shell over time and become a new woman with Efrain's love.
I also really really loved the way Kimberly Brown handled Thyri's grief - it was touching and brought tears to my eyes as I read it. I always find authors who handle sensitive topics to be exceptional writers.
I found all of the characters fun and engaging, the story is well-written (despite a few grammatical errors), I learned new things, and I am interested in reading the next book from Kimberly Brown about Dessa, Remi, and JaQuan, who were featured in "Something She Can Feel."
