Her Villain by S.M. LaViolette

4.0

Characters: Calliope (Callie) and David

Callie has been working as a prostitute for 9 months when the brothel she works at gets shut down. She needs money so she tries to get hired somewhere else, when she comes home one day she sees that the money she has been saving is gone. She attacks the man (Brook) who has been running the place when a man shows up. 

David is a very cold man, he doesn’t show a lot of emotion, he sees the prostitute and decides to hire her to warm his bed. He sets a strict schedule, and doesn’t like to deviate from it. His first night with her, he brings her to pleasure multiple times, and he hasn’t been satisfied like that in a long time. He decides to keep her in his home until a certain time. In the meantime she takes a job in a tea shop. 

The more time they spend together, the more David starts to feel things he’s never felt before, and doesn’t recognize the feelings either. Their relationship is more a BDSM relationship, Callie likes it when David is in control, and he became more possessive over her.



Things I enjoyed in this book:

  1. I love how the more around her he was, the more possessive he became, and she loved how turned on it made her. 
  2. He kidnaps the man who beat and sodomized her, and he beats the man and looked like he was going to sodomize the man when Callie tells him to stop. It was David’s birthday present to Callie. I thought it was sweet. 
  3. He also beats the crap out of another man who kept patting her ass while she was working at the tea shop
  4. I also loved how he didn’t know what the feelings were that he was feeling, because no one had ever showed him those feelings before 
  5. I felt bad for his childhood, because he wasn’t treated as a human being, and he didn’t have parents who showed him love and affection
