Golden by S.B Hazel Review
Curiosity led me to read this novella. Though the description said taboo, the words ‘watersports play’ in the synopsis/bio caught my attention. I had no idea what it was. Thus, I read this accepted this Arc and read it to feed my inquisitiveness. Boy, did I find out. I was like ‘wow, oh, so that’s what it is.’ Where I’m from watersports play is called ‘golden shower’. I was more than satisfied to find that out. I patted myself on the back after reading Golden. I didn’t even bat an eye and read it without a flinch. That called for success. With that said, it was not my cup of tea. All the sports play talk. Everything else was interesting. Even though it was short.
Sammy worked at an erotic club, catering to clients of various kinks. One night, she filled in for another worker and met two gorgeous mystery clients. What she was told was different from what they ordered. This led to an entire catastrophe. A world of kink awakening and all those good stuff.
‘They were marked. Mine.’ My go-to thought for this statement was he wanted to bite or leave actual marks. Low and below, it wasn’t. Most of this book reminded me of a dark romance. I guess it could be classified as such either way. Zavier was a devil. A delicious devil when he wasn’t doing you-might-want-know-what. I couldn’t help but love Sammy. Even in her circumstances, she showed strength. The fact she was not portrayed as meek made me yelp with joy. Thank you, S.B Haze. I adore you for showing the world that women can be strong even in the darkest of situations. Most authors can learn from this.
Jiro was a greedy charmer. A bad influence on Sammy. He was okay when he wasn’t being gluttonous. Minus the kink, I loved him and Zavier’s relationship. I could sense how close they were, how comfortable they were from Jiro’s point of view. The overall story was both enlightening and intriguing. The smut was a plus. The HEA tied up everything to my liking although the shortness of the plot made me want more of the story. Even so, it was a good read. I loved that I could enjoy the taboo plot even though I wasn't a huge fan of the kink. S.B. Hazel kept things interesting until the end. I would recommend this to all readers who can tolerate a good watersports play because this one was just…a lot to digest.
