~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~ MAMA MIA...This book was SCORCHING HOT. Which was both good and bad (for reasons I will get into in a sec). First the good...this was a very well written book. It was well paced. It was told in a dual POV format. The plot was engaging, and I found it to be quite unique. As I said above, this was a super hot book, and for the most part, I loved that about it. That said, I would have liked to have seen a bit more interaction between Kat and Declan outside of the sex. Having sex or talking about having sex if pretty much ALL they do. So it was a little hard to fully buy into these two having an HEA long term if you took away their sexual connection. It was just a minor issue though. Last, it was all wrapped up in a happy for now ending.
~HERO~ DECLAN...Declan was an a$$hole for a lot of this book. He treated Kat like trash a lot of the time. That said, she kept coming back for more, so who am I to hold his behavior against him? (lol) He was also smokin' hot. He was a dirty talker. He was alpha. I ended up really liking him by the end.
~HEROINE~ KAT...Kat was a difficult character to like, to be honest. I get humiliation was her thing hence why she kept coming back for more from Declan, but lord did I cringe on more than a few occasions. I desperately wanted her to grow a backbone. I also struggled with some decisions she made. She crossed lines that were not hers to cross. I mean the chick figuratively threw her Dad under the bus! That said, she had her moments, so again, it was just a minor issue.
~SECONDARY CHARACTERS~ This book was very low on secondary characters. I really liked Flynn though and I hope the author plans on writing a book for him. Speaking of Flynn, there was actually something that made NO sense to me concerning him and the heroine. I put it in spoiler tags... The only other few we see are a couple coworkers and Kat's mom and dad. The majority of the plot is main character focused.
~HEAT LEVEL~ VERY HIGH. There was SO much smokin' hot sex in this book. Sex, sex, and more sex. Voyeurism. Humiliation. Spanking. Ring gags. Some light BDSM. Sharing. A gang bang featuring the heroine. Like I said, A LOT - OF - SEX! (lol)
~ANGST LEVEL - SEXUAL HISTORIES~ Medium...this was a somewhat angsty read. The hero does quite a lot of pushing and pulling. He also treats the heroine badly quite a few times. The heroine does some questionable things as well. Neither were virgins. There was no OW drama. There wasn't any OM drama, in the sense of an OM causing drama between the couple. The hero shares the heroine with another man once, and the heroine takes part in a gang bang (Sans the hero). There is also talk that the hero will share the heroine again in the future but only if he takes part as well.
~IN THE END~ I enjoyed it quite a lot. There were a couple little issues that kept me from rating it higher, but they were just small things. Overall it was a well written and quick read. The sex scenes were scorching. The plot unique. The characters (mostly) likable. Therefore yours truly is going to give this one two thumbs up.
Within seconds, the door handle clicks, and I hold my breath in anticipation. A man in a black suit and a red tie steps in. The door shuts behind him. My eyes glide over his body and his glide over mine. His face too is hidden behind a mask. He’s tall and his wavy blond hair runs down all the way to his shoulders, thick and velvety, just like his voice when he says, “Hello Kitten …” I’m struck in awe at the sound of his voice. It’s real. It’s him. That same shiver runs up and down my spine as he approaches me slowly. In a split second, images of violence flash through my mind. All the possible things that could happen. All the things he could do to me. We’re alone, in a hotel room, and neither of us know each other by name. He could do anything he wanted. Take me. Use me. Lock me up. Kill me. And no one would ever know it was him. It’s the perfect setting for the perfect crime. And yet I’m not afraid of him. I’m only afraid of my own reactions to what’s about to go down. Meeting him was the only thing I wanted … and now that it’s finally happening I wonder if it’ll be enough. If I can satiate my needs without crossing the line. He comes even closer. I don’t move an inch. I don’t know if it’s because I’m scared, or if it’s because my body feels as if it’s made out of rocks and ice. I shudder when he stands across from the bed, leans against the dresser, and casually slides his eyes from the tips of my toes hidden in black heels all the way up to my high pony tail without any shame. His tongue dips out to wet his lips, and for a second there I wish he licked mine instead. He cocks his head. “So … this is what you want.” I nod and part my lips to say something, but nothing springs to mind. Nothing important … except for the fact that I want him to fuck me raw.

Welcome to Hotel O… Enjoy your stay.
Author’s Note: Hotel O is complete and utter filthiness. Expect lots of debauchery… with multiple people. Please do not read if you’re easily offended or do not enjoy romances that explore the boundaries of depravity… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I've got to admit, I was hesitant about reading this book. I find conversation surrounding the morality of sex annoying, to put it lightly. Since the author felt the need to warn me I was about to "explore the boundaries of depravity." I was expecting characters who were struggling to come to terms with their desires and battling shame along with their arousal.
However, the description reads like someone who knows what he wants and isn't about to apologize for it. Anyway, I took a chance. The title, the cover, I knew I wasn't going to be let down. I was oh-so-right!
I was expecting this book to be filthy, but wow! This was something even considering what I usually read. The first page of the book starts with I'm "as dirty as can be. Humiliate me." Now, humiliation play is not my cuppa. So I debated whether I even wanted to keep reading, but I've never DNF'd on page 1, so I kept going - promising myself that if it crossed the fine line between humiliation and degradation, I would walk away.
Admittedly, the author walked this line well. And always managed to stay on the right side of it.
This story is told in dual perspectives. Which was wonderful because you could tell the characters enthusiastically consented to everything they did with both their actions and their thoughts. There were no wishy-washy I-don't-want-to-but-I-will type compromises.
We witness Kat and Declan go from a very primal pleasure-only arrangement to something more. Oh my gosh, it was so sweet to watch.
Now, this book was naughty from the first sentence. This was absolutely erotica; not romance. The sex begets the relationship, not the other way around.
Overall, Hotel O was an engaging and erotic read. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new bedtime book. Your significant other is sure to enjoy this one as well. You can thank me later. ;)
An awesomely new, sizzling hot and kinky dark romance from Clarissa Wild. Kat and Declan will take you on a ride that is hot, steamy, kinky, unconventional, funny and heartwarming all at the same time. Kat and Declan are introduced to the readers in a unique and unconventional yet realistic way. Declan is the event coordinator at Hotel O. The services offered are not what you normally get at a hotel yet what he offers for the guests is oh so delicious and kinky. Declan's job comes above everything and he'll do anything to make sure he makes it to the top at the hotel. Kat is finally out from under her parents overprotectiveness and is making her way in the real world without them looking over her shoulder. She has found this website that caters to people like herself that like certain kinks and she finds a man who hits all her buttons and all she knows is his name is “D”. She has no idea what she has just started with him yet that click of the button can lead to a life she's always dreamed of yet never lived yet. Declan and Kat go on this dark, kinky, unconventional journey that had me rooting for them. It wasn’t rainbows and unicorns yet it is so yummy good and they were a perfect fit for one another. They are intriguing, exciting, wicked, intelligent and full of kinky fun. Hotel O is full of characters that bring this book to life. Declan and Kat take you on a roller coaster of a ride full of kink and chemistry. Even the secondary characters make you want to know more about them — like the character of Flynn has me wondering if he will get his own book. He is sexy and mysterious. Let’s hope he will get his own book. I love the way the author Ms. Wild writes her characters with such believability and realism and has me hooked from start to finish. What an amazingly hot read!!!!!
My Rating: 4.7 stars ***** “I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
Buff, lo terminé, pero saltando paginas, echando un vistazo y pasando paginas hasta el final. No entendí a ninguno de los personajes, y todo me parecio infumable.
The one thing that i really like about Clarissa Wild is the fact that this author isn't afraid to really make her books stand out by pushing the limits. I've had the chance to read many of her books and Hotel O was admittedly a subject i was afraid i had read more than once, but as i kept reading along, it was completely different from anything i had read so far.
I truly did enjoy this story. It was sexy, captivating and it was completely unexpected. I don't think i could have ever guessed what would have happened in this book even if i would have tried, and that was the best part of this book. The fact that i couldn't guess what would happen. These characters are doing just about what any person secretly desires - to be able to bring their fantasies to life without fear of judgment, no matter how dark they are.
This is the kind of book that you need to go in with an open mind. To do otherwise is probably taking away from some of the mystery that comes with an event planner for a secret hotel and the girl who is fighting against her strict upbringing. I absolutely can't recommend this book enough because it'll for certain make you open your eyes to the possibilities and i can't wait to find out what else this author will write to surprise her readers.
Talk about filthy kinky!! Kat and Declan will fulfill all your fantasies in this book and so much more. From the first page getting to know Kat and her secrets made this book definitely a page turner. Ever message a guy online and think dirty thoughts? Well the author brings it all in this book so much I had to take a cold shower couple times after reading this. Declan that alpha, controlling dirty man makes you drool just by his words. Definitely a book you read at home and be prepared to attack your man afterwards! 5/5 hot kinky dirty stars
Well once again in true Clarissa Wild fashion I was taken on the ride of my life and what a ride it was. I absolutely gorged myself on the utterly delectable debauchery and depravity that is Hotel O.
Declan is the event coordinator at Hotel O. The services offered are not your usual fare at a regular hotel which is why they cater to a certain lifestyle that comes at a high cost to their exclusive clientele. Declan's job comes above everything and he'll do anything to ensure he climbs to the top at the hotel.
Kat is finally out from under her parents scrutiny and has decided to live her life the way she sees fit. That's why she is a frequent visitor to an online chat site where she connects with D. She has no idea what she has just started and that sometimes one click of a button can lead to a life she's always dreamed of.
When all the players come to light will Declan and Kat see it as a win or will it take everything down including the hotel that Declan loves?
I'm so glad I knew nothing about Hotel O before going in because I love the surprise of what I know will be one hell of a ride.
After an entertaining beginning, the story became something a pre-teen with little knowledge of human nature would concoct to thrill and tantilize her fellow pre-teens. The reactions of the heroine/hero/surrounding characters were so unlikely, so contrary to human nature, that the entire story was derailed. When one silly plot development followed another this went from erotic romance to Keystone cops. Too bad. This premise had great promise if the author had taken it seriously and written a thoughtful story that was psychologically accurate. It almost seemed like Ms. Wild "chickened out" and pulled back from writing a realistic erotic romance and instead, wrote a comic book. Two and a half stars.
Hotel O is by far the filthiest and kinkiest book I've read in a long time. From the very start, we are thrown into Kat and Declan's fantasies and I, for one, was so enthralled and intrigued. I'm pretty sure Declan would have had me on my knees just begging for more of what he threw at Kat.
Declan and Kat meet in a chat group online. They are supposed to air our their fantasies and stay anonymous. It's supposed to be a one time thing. Yet there's something about the other that draws them both to each other. Despite how had Declan fights it.
Declan. Whew. He's bossy, a bit of a dick and downright delicious. I don't blame Kat, I'd want more and would do anything to get it. What is it about assholes that gets me going? And then to be as bossy as he was when they were together? Yeah, I fell in love myself.
If you are looking for pure kink that will either make you blush, clinch your thighs or possibly both, then you need to pick up Hotel O. It was way hotter than I was expecting and I loved every moment of it.

***4.5 ‘Filthy, Decadent and Depraved Debauchery’ Stars***
First things first. Read the Author’s note. Take it in. Read it again. Let roll around in your head for a while. And if you can’t accept the truth of those word...then this book is not for you. But, if your intrigued, aroused or even just amused by them, then dive on in and enjoy the ride.
Now, with that out of the way…
This book was all that I’ve come to expect of a Clarissa Wild book where the dark, dirty and kinky are front and center and I loved every filthy and debauched moment of it. I’m all about going big, and she did. She also went big with the characters ~ I know they go hand in hand ~ and I had some pretty intense reactions to them, but they fascinated me and I had to see how everything played out with them in the end.
Declan and Kat. These two gave me a huge case of whiplash. HUGE. They put me through the wringer here, Kat more than Declan, but they definitely kept me on my toes. Declan, I really liked. He definitely had his moments ~ and trust me when I say I couldn’t really fault him for them in general ~ but there is a really good man underneath the suit and he just worked for me. Kat...this one is hard. I really loved the fact that she wanted to explore her sexuality and her kink and owned that part of herself. But, I didn’t actually LIKE her throughout the majority of the book. She fascinated, frustrated and irritated the hell out of me. but I never truly warmed up to her.
As for their romance….read the description and the Author’s note. It was a journey, it’s dark, filthy, debauched and smexy as all get out. There were a few twists I didn’t see coming at all and loved them because they were well played. And in the end, I can honestly say that Declan and Kat are a perfect fit because I don’t think anyone else could put up with either of them, or give them what they need to feel whole.
Fangirl. Plain and simple. This one, well the characters, gave me a whiplash hangover of epic proportions, but my fascination over their journey kept me turning the pages. As I said in the beginning. Read the Author’s Note and if it peaks your curiosity, then enjoy the ride.

It's official... I'm running away to a secret island and read all day... Lol. I wish I could but that's not gonna happen. I've been given the chance to read amazing books and let me just say that it has been one hell of a journey... This author had given me some pretty brilliant books to read and each one is special at is own. Each story is like a breath of fresh air. Clarissa Wild has an intense writing full of feelings, hotness, desire and so much more in between. Hotel O is her latest release and tells the stories of Declan and Kat. Just have a good look at the cover.... Yummy right?? Declan is an arse but a very good looking one. Lol. He works at Hotel O as an event coordinator. But you have to see what those events are... Kat started living the day she get away from her parents protection. She need hotness and kinkiness in her life and one look at a website... And I can't say more. Hotness doesn't even cover this book. This story is of charts and you should give it a try. The plot is amazing, very well written, super engaging and hot. Each scene is described in a way that it looked like I was inside the book. But not everything was good because I really wanted to slap someone... Jeez... I was so mad... I was so frustrated that I wanted to scream but I'm glad that everything worked out. This book has all that we like, it's hot, it's wild, it's forbidden, it's kinky... It's so good. Clarissa, Clarissa, Clarissa what can I say? This book was different but I really enjoyed it. And I want more. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
A 4 out of 5 Star Read!!! At the beginning of this standalone it was a tad bit hard to read because your in chat room setting, I just found the setting a little cringe funny. The more I read the more I started to like both characters, and I actually kind of envisioned this book becoming a potential mini series. Quite a few of Clarissa Wilds books, have a movie quality to them and I’d definitely approve of this book being one of the top picks if that ever happens. I loved the build up, and it was a fresh take on similar stories I’ve read in the past and has a realistic feel and greatly appreciate no over the top drama. The Smexy scenes are HOT, and well described so you could actually envision it. Kat & D, are a perfect well fitted couple, and I love that Kat was hard headed and wasn’t gonna let D pull any wool over her eyes. I love how everything came SURPRISINGLY full circle, definitely did not see it coming. I don’t want this ‘world’ to be over! I would love to see this as a standalone Hotel O series.
I give the Smexy scenes a satisfying: 4/5 stars BDSM Real-ness: 3.5/5, could’ve been better to make me really say a solid 5/5. Character Compatibility: 5/5 Would I read more from this author? Heck Yeah
Another new, steaming hot and eroticly dark romance from Clarissa Wild. We're taken into the depths of a Hotel that's not conventional in any way. The things that hotel does will make you want to join this exclusively expensive place. The depravity, the excitement and the HOT AS HELL scenes that are exposed on these pages will leave you fanning your face.
We're introduced to Kat and Declan in this steamy romance where two souls meet in the most unconventional way, yet totally realistic in the modern, real, world. I loved these characters, though in stages there are places that I don't particularly like Kat so much. I loved Declan, though rather arrogant and quite the asshole, he has an aura about him that will leave you wanting more.
Secondary character Flynn has me completely intrigued. Will he get a book? We'll have to wait and see but I think Kat's hunk of a bestie deserves his own story.
An amazingly sizzling read that will have you turning page after page, you'll get hooked to the words in front of your. I was totally engrossed in this story and my heart was invested with the characters.
The beginning was promising and I was hooked but then it just started to get very rushed and to be fair, cringe. The dialogue during the "ushy gushy I love you so much, you mean the world to me" crap made me want to vomit. But the story itself wasn't bad, I just felt like the ending could have been executed better.
I will make sure to read some more of Clarissa's books, because I did enjoy this don't get me wrong. Just how Kat interacted sometimes made me feel awkward for her. Maybe that's just my social anxiety, but Kat definitely has a teeny weeny little bit of "not like other girls" energy. That is to be expected though going into any fictional book, of course the author wants their character to be different and not basic but you can have badass characters without them sounding like they have never been out in public before.
Also, for the people who have read the book I feel like we need to talk about this:
Kat es una niña rica que ha pasado toda su vida viviendo protegida por sus padres,así que cuando se va a vivir sola quiere experimentarlo todo,en parte,por eso,mantiene conversaciones subidas de tono con desconocidos online. Un día,coincide en un chat con Declan y a medida que las conversaciones van subiendo más de tono le pide encontrarse en un hotel para tener un encuentro de una noche. Lo hacen y él la deja sin más. Hasta entonces su identidad y sus rostros son desconocidos el uno del otro.Pero la curiosidad de Kat hace que quiera saber más de él y lo investiga hasta que lo localiza en el hotel O. Va a su encuentro,lo que a él no le hace muy feliz y empieza a tratarla bastante mal pero ella sigue volviendo a por más. Como curiosidad también sale Flynn(hermano de T.J.,protagonista del libro bad Boss)que trabaja bajo las órdenes de Declan ,y,a su vez,es el mejor amigo de Kat.Espero que él consiga su propio libro pronto.
Filthy fun!! If you like it dirty and a little taboo, this is the story for you. Steamy, sexy and totally taboo. Hotel O is where you go to do all those things that make you feel dirty and alive and free. Kat has been searching for something, someone but she doesn't know what or who. She likes to push the envelop and see where it takes her. That's why she likes meeting strangers online. Declan is in control of everything. He puts his work above all else but he has needs and a one-time screw is all he needs to keep them in check. Or so he thought.... When these two meet it's a mess, a dirty, sexy mess but could it be more than a one-time deal, could it be love? Great characters, great story, totally hot!
I loved the blurb for this book so was excited when I got a chance to read it. The idea is that there is a man who works at a very special hotel who likes to talk to women in chat rooms for one night stands because he can't get into a relationship with his job. She's online looking for something she needs. She might act like a sweet and innocent young woman, but really she's taking charge and going after what she needs. I love how determined the female lead is to learn more about this man who gives hero one night of passion, and that determination leads her down a rabbit hole of debauchery and self-discovery! Warning! This book touches on so many topics that might be hard for some readers. If you aren't afraid of taboo things, this book is going to hit the spot ;)
Hotel O by Clarissa Wild is the story of Kat and Declan. Kat is out from under her parents strong hold and strict rules. Looking to fill her kink she ends up talking to D and her chat room name is Naughty Kitten. They have some hot chat room encounters that lead them wanting more. Declan usually doesn't do more than a couple of chats with one person and is really into his job with no real relationships because of it. But Kat is causing him to rethink what he used to think he believed. Kat likes everything that Declan is doing...maybe to much. Can there be more between them. This was another hot exciting read by Ms. Wild!
I tried to wait a few days to see if I was just in a mood, but the words never came. There just isn’t much to say here. The story isn’t bad, but it had potential that wasn’t reached. It was raunchy and hot, but the plot had serious holes. It was almost like it needed to pick a lane... either be straight filth or have an actual plot. I can dig either, but somewhere in between just leaves me hanging.
That being said, I enjoyed that it was more than just a guy and girl falling in love and all the predictable scenes that go with it. There was definite originality and so the author gets points for that. There’s worse ways to spend an evening than reading this book, but don’t expect anything life-changing!
WOW!!! Talk about pushing the limits! I loved it! Hotel O was very hot & then some. Kat seems like the sweet innocent woman but wait until you really see her. Delcan has his rules for a reason but when he meets Kat he thrown for a loop. He doesn't know what to do with her. Kat has finally met someone like her in Delcan & she doesn't want it to be one time thing. This book is full of so many surprises too. I can't wait to see what Clarissa Wild writes next. I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC.
Hotel O is a hot, sexy,story. It has a hot alpha male and a sexy girl that gives the story the kick it needs. This story has an interesting story line. It has all the feels, and the characters are good. I like this book a lot. Clarissa is good at what she does, and she gives you everything you want out of reading, her books.
Hotel O was absolutely amazing!! One of the most erotic books I have ever read. It was very well written, the chemistry between the characters was insane and it had a twist I did not see coming. This book was a page turner that I could not put down. If you want a deliciously dirty read, this book comes highly recommend!!
Clarissa Wild spins another amazing tale of steamy hotness, blatant innuendos, and naughty goodness! Kat and Declan bring the heat and the sizzle! I could not put Hotel O down!!
Hotel O has all the juicy yumminess that will make you deliciously squirm in your seat! You are guaranteed to love this book!!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
Pleasure is business. That's our motto here at Hotel O. No strings attached gratification is what we provide. Nothing is off limits. And all of it stays within these walls. My job as the organizer of these events requires a personal sacrifice. Girlfriends are a liability I can't afford. So I get my own satisfaction somewhere else. Online. Anonymous. Nothing beyond a one-night stand....And I've found the perfect toy to play with. A persistent, equally wicked girl that I can't say no to. The girl who is going to risk it all. Welcome to Hotel O. Enjoy your stay.
I keep bouncing back and forth with how to rate this book. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for it or maybe I just don't like the whole she wants to be humiliated with sex so I am going to do it thing in this book. It bothered me and that bothered me more because usually it doesn't. I read dirty books. Heck I have read some down right filthy ones that taught me more about kinks than I ever needed to know but for some reason I just had a hard time reading this book and that too bothers me as I usually am all over anything that Clarissa Wild writes. I feel bad for not loving it. Am I being a prude?? Maybe but that doesn't sound like me in my fictional reading world and I just can not for the life of me figure out what it was that drove me to the point of picking it up and putting it down a million times. I almost didn't finish it but that isn't me either. I will push myself to read a book and finish it no matter what. This book has a lot of great reviews if you look on Goodreads so I am sure it was me but I will say that it does have its moments and then it has it moments that just bothered me. Ugh I am frustrated with myself. Big time.
This has no plot, let’s be real. I would 5 star it if it had. And if she’d “really” participated. It was hot as fuck...but I thought it would be...more. (*shrugs*)
Also...her publishing a “names redacted” article on how they met and still thinking no one will connect the dots to the H and his job, and therefore the hotel...Grand Canyon sized plot hole.
