**I received a copy of Only For Your Touch from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review**

Only For Your Touch by Naima Simone is the second book in the Lick Series of books and my first by the author. Since the theme is erotica BDSM club there is a lot of sex but I missed the revealing of the two main characters, Sasha and Corrine but all in all the story is a solid 3.8 stars.

Sasha Merchant runs the Lick nightclub with two of his best friends but only a select few know that their is a exclusive club upstairs. He's left being a thief and the mob behind promising his mother that he would give it all up for her on her death bed. His parents came from Russia for a better life so doing this one thing for his mother means everything to him. But when Corrine Salvaggi walks into his club their attraction is instantaneous.

Corrine Salvaggi hates being known as the Mob Princess after she finds out that her father is a mob boss, she is shocked . The father she remembers walked her to her first day of school and was there for all of her graduations, not the one that currently sitting in prison. But she has a secret desire for BDSM and knows that Sasha's club will give her what she desires and needs.

There is sex and eventually love between Sasha and Corrine but I'd hoped for more back story between the two. Since this book is a novella it was a short sexy read and a solid 3.8 stars.

It is a classic case of a bad boy and a good girl who are all wrong for each other except they are perfect for each other. Sasha Merchant grew up on the streets. He has gone clean and is running, with his two buddies, an aphrodisiac club. Corrine is the sheltered daughter of a mobster kingpin looking to rebel a little bit. When these two get together it is naughty, sexy and totally hot. A fun addition to this series but can be read standalone.

Only For Your Touch was a scorcher. I absolutely loved it. It was just what I needed. It was the perfect blend of heart and heat. I definitely recommend it.

Meh. I was underwhelmed by them both. She bordered on TSTL. He seemed like he wanted to be an antihero but the author wouldn't commit.

This is the second book in the Lick series and after reading the first I was looking forward to Sasha and Killian's stories. This is a quick steamy read and while I enjoyed the Corrine and Sasha's story, I was hoping that there would be more depth to the story line. There is definitely chemistry between the two characters that jumps off the page and an almost instant love between the two. While the author definitely covered the sexual compatibility between these characters, when I finished the book I felt like I was missing something. I guess for me, I was hoping for a bit more discovery by each character about their vulnerabilities and pasts and maybe a bit more angst with the mob.

I received an ARC from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This did not influence my opinion and the thoughts expressed are my own.

I still really liked the author’s writing and this was deliciously steamy and kinky as well. What surprised me were the switch moments between Sasha and Corrine. I loved that the heroine explored her sexual desires without shame and fear and I love how the hero created a safe space for her to do that. Their dynamic was so great, their chemistry was sizzling and their play was so much fun.

That said, I found the mafia aspect of the story a little too “easy” and unrealistic. I liked that they had open conversations about their past but I also felt that, at least from her side, the issue was also so very simply resolved. Overall, still lots of fun and I can’t wait to read about Killian next!
