His to Own, Hers to Claim by Siobhan SmileMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Filth For the Over Forties
I’d probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
Though technically a romance I’d probably classify this as erotica. However, it’s very well done and it’s nice to find this sort of book aimed at a slightly more mature audience. There’s really very little plot and there’s a tonne of hot and steamy times, however, it felt utterly real.
The book is about Alexis who is about to turn 50 years old. She’s hard-working and a successful business owner. She has three fantastic daughters and she likes herself and her life, though she wouldn’t say no to some action in the bedroom. Alexis meets Wall at a nightclub her daughters drag her to. They are instantly attracted to each other but don’t act on it.
Wall owns the nightclub he met Alexis in. He’s 40 years old and is pretty grumpy, but he loves the way Alexis stands up to him and challenges him without complaint.
One of the things I loved about this book was that the characters were flawed and interesting. Wall is huge and hairy and Alexis is overweight, but they like themselves. They don’t worry about the way they appear except to think they like the way the other looks.
These characters are grown-ups. They know what they want in life and are willing to work for it. It’s so nice to see characters who don’t worry about how damaged they are or are trying to figure themselves out. They also have uninhibited and filthy sex. It’s nice to see books that have grown-ups having relationships or just having fun. This book celebrates that life doesn’t end at 35, and I enjoyed reading it.
