Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
“Your body was made for me. Your skin tastes like the sweetest dessert.”
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the way Natasha explained a lot of the Dom/Sub aspect of the kink community, but I also appreciate the fact that she shows that you can think that something that is enjoyable and feels good can turn out to not be anywhere close to what you expect.
I appreciate the fact that she pointed out that each role in the kink world has specific responsibilities and aftercare that they need to provide for their partners. I loved the scenes of spice. Very detailed and enjoyable. I also enjoyed the s*xting that they both sent each other was a nice little touch too.
Willow is such a down to earth character and such a perfect example of someone that knows her worth and knows that she deserves the best even when she is at her most vulnerable ❤️

Series: The Pursuit Of Pleasure Series
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Erotica
Rating:4.5⭐️
Spice: 4🌶️
Darkness:1🩶
POV: FMC
Highlights:
💙Interracial Relationship
💙Single Curvy Mom FMC
💙Slightly Younger Hot MMC
💙Short Read
💙BD$M
💙Dom/sub
Thoughts:
I really loved the diversity in this story and the way the FMC had insecurities and doubts that made her believable and realistic. The spice was super hot and her interlude with Dom was a perfect weekend away from the realities of life. This ends on a cliffy I think so hopefully there is another instalment of this story. I would definitely recommend this and hope to read more from Natasha.

The Perfect Stranger was one of the books I got for free during SYKD. I wouldn't normally choose something like this without seeing people talk about it as I'm one of those "I don't want to hate it" readers.
The Perfect Stranger did NOT disappoint my need to read something downright FILTHY.
Willow is a late 30 something single mom of 10 year old twins who is missing that spark in her life. Though she's wary, she opens up one of those dreaded dating sites knowing it's full of horny guys who don't know how to chat up a girl. One day her phone pings to the dating app and to her surprise, it's a message from a younger handsome guy named Dominic and it doesn't have an unsolicited photo of his private parts or some cheese desperate pickup line.
Dominic and Willow find themselves talking every night for months and they discover that they both have some very spicy sexual fantasies and even discover that Dominic is a Daddy Dom and Willow is submissive. Dominic and Willow plan to meet in 4 weeks to fulfill their fantasies.
This book has a good bit of BDSM in it. This book doesn't have your typical happy ending where the two canoodlers end up falling madly in love with one another, but honestly the ending of the book has such a GREAT message. It's so refreshing to have a not so cliché ending. It's also very refreshing to read a spicy book where the MMC isn't hung like a horse.
I liked Dominic in the beginning and middle of the book, but really disliked him towards the end.

**🌶🌶🌶🌶 – A steamy and surprisingly empowering read**
This novella took me by surprise in the best way. Yes, it’s *hot* (like, fan-yourself-and-take-a-break hot), but it’s also deeply personal and empowering.
The story follows a single mom who decides it’s time to explore her submissive side—a bold, brave decision that leads her to a Dom who gives her a mind-blowing first taste of the lifestyle. But as the experience unfolds, she realizes it’s not the fairy tale she imagined. And here’s where the book truly shines: she doesn’t crumble. She walks away, not ashamed or broken, but stronger, clearer, and still completely in control of *herself*.
I loved how the author portrayed a woman who could explore her sexuality without losing her identity. The FMC is realistic, resilient, and completely relatable. She’s not chasing love or saving anyone—she’s honoring her needs while keeping her head high.
If you’re looking for a quick, steamy read with a heroine who owns her power in and out of the bedroom, this one is absolutely worth a read.

I love reading about an empowered woman who goes out and gets what she wants from life. Willow is a mom in her 40's who is looking into a new BDSM kink for herself and finds it in a super sexy weekend away with Dominic. He's not perfect, but she definitely learned a lot from the experience and is not looking back!
I can't wait to see who she ran into at the end! I'm dying! Buckle up because this is going to be a ride.

Lovely steamy short read about a single mother of twins who ventures out to explore a different side of herself. Despite the nontraditional ending of the story, I still enjoyed the story a lot because our main character had a goal in mind, and she did just that. She deserved to feel good about herself.
About the ending, all I will say is: THE AUDACITY!

I LOVEDDDD the meaning behind this book! FMC is a single mom who put herself out there. She was a badass woman and i'm so glad that she realized how much of a badass she is. I went into the book thinking it's just a spicy novella with BDSM. Which it definitely was! However, the message you get from the book is so empowering and beautiful. I'd recommend this book to literally anyone!

I enjoyed this read. I found it a bit boring in the middle at first but the ending hooked me. The spice was fun. Definitely had some of my kinks. It was very realistic and as a plus size woman myself, I definitely related to Willow. I want to be like her, take some inspiration from this book and find my perfect stranger but I’m not sure if I’m as bold as her so I’ll just keep reading. Lol

How DARE a book end like that?!
Willow is a single mom of twins who is finally stepping out there, into the dating app scene when Dominic reaches out to her. After months of back and forth of their darkest desires and fantasies, they agree to meet for one night.
When that night is more than either of them could have ever dreamed, the morning after comes…

I was give the opportunity to read this as an ARC. This was such a nice short read. I really connected with the main character and loved seeing her journey.
I’m annoyed it ended on a cliffhanger but I’m very excited to see what will happen next.

Perfect short spicy read, and truly touched on the reality of dating with kids (it’s rough)
The chemistry and spice were on point. And the close to reality plot was strong, despite being short there was plenty of plot and spice

enjoyable romance but feel incomplete
It is a very enjoyable story, the characters are interesting and the dynamics are very cute. However the story ends very abruptly with little to no closure so it feels incomplete.

Smut with plot
This was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ and done kn such a manner that wasn't dirty.
It explored the internal and physical reaction of intimacy of a mother of two in her mid thirties without being self deprecating. And as such being realistic.

Confused by the ending
Great story. Love the story of a single mom finding herself again. Confused about most everything with Dominic and the ending. Guess it's up to the reader to decide?

I got this book during BRAE. Pretty good book...I loved how Willow got some self confidence even though Dominic was not IT. I felt so bad for her...Hindsight really is 20/20. I'm glad that she didn't give up on her fantasies or finding what she wants and needs.

Disappointing Ending
A very disappointing ending! Is there a part two? It didn’t say and that ending leaves more questions than answers!!! Shame. I was enjoying it until then.

This is a delightful short story that is full of spice. Willow has decided it's time to get out there again and fulfil some of her kinkier dreams. This is the first novella following her journey of discovery. I loved every minute of it, and am very much looking forward to where this goes. Easy short read if you don't have a lot of time.

I've left my original review here, but I'm also changing it to a 4.5 ⭐ because what was I even thinking. This book was so good. I think I was just actually more devastated than the FMC when I wrote the review. 😅
Anyway, I will 100% be continuing with the series because I keep thinking about it and need to know what happens.
But screw that asshole. He better not come back.
3.5 ⭐️
OK, so I made a mistake going into this, and it affected my overall feelings on the book. 🤦🏻♀️
I thought it was an erotic romance, but it's not. It is erotica, it is very smutty, and it is very good, but it's not romance. And, as such, when he turned out to be a bit naff in the end, I felt just as deflated and disappointed as the FMC. There was no proper happy ending, just a happy for now within herself. 😭
However, if I had realised that this is a smutty series where the FMC finds herself along the way, possibly with different MMCs as she goes, I think I would have felt very differently.
I might continue with this series, I might not, I'm currently unsure.
However, the spice was very well written, so I'm more than happy to try more from the author. I will just check what I'm getting into first. 😁
