"Fiend" By: Rachael Orman
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Fiend picks up exactly where Addict leaves off, with Alix finally discovering the identity of her Master, John; exactly who she secretly hoped it would be. It was easier, though, for Alix to explore her sexuality when there was a certain amount of anonymity. Alix is scared that John will see right through her carefully constructed walls and reject her. John though is determined to not let her run. He wants to claim her as his own: body, soul and mind.
We see John and Alix explore their BDSM relationship and Alix try new experiences. The road doesn't run smoothly as an ex of John's tries to drive a wedge between them to win him back. She plays on Alix's inexperience, insecurities and vulnerability to manipulate situations. For a man who is so cleaver and so in tune with Alix, I was surprised that he did not recognise this.
I loved seeing Alix come alive and find out more about what she wants sexually and who she is. John's strength is what she needs and he is patient with her. Both though still carry secrets that neither are willing to reveal yet but secrets have a way of revealing themselves whether you want them to or not.
This was superbly written, getting the balance right between hot and sensual, and exploring the emotions and feelings of Alix and John. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thank you so much!!
