RR_synopsis

The long-awaited sequel to Willing Victim.

Eight months ago, Laurel walked into an underground boxing gym and found herself mesmerized by a stranger named Flynn—a man who fights hard and loves harder. Since then he’s taken her places where fear and curiosity clash in exquisite pleasure, where trust is the price of ecstasy, and in time their brutal games have become her kink as much as his.

But when real life intrudes and hard decisions demand action, will these two whose bond is rooted in fantasy take shelter in each other’s arms, or discover that lust is no substitute for a lasting commitment?

Review

★4.5 STARS

As excited as I was at the prospect at more from Laurel and Flynn, I was equally anxious about the likelihood of the follow up achieving the same success in terms of acclaim. Its predecessor willing Victim has a cult like status among my favourite taboo reads. Unlike anything I had read before, it was unapologetically erotic in its undertaking of a risqué topic; whilst being refreshing down to earth in its approach and character reliability.

In this regard Brutal Game achieves that success. As Laurel and Flynn navigate their relationship eight months later, life throws some challenges their way. It’s a test of strength as well as forcing them to confront their relationship and its direction. On a whole it was a much more sombre affair than I was expecting, but with this it showcased the surprisingly sweet rawness I so much love about them.

RR_synopsis

The 2010 cult hit, remastered and re-released!

For the past couple years Laurel’s been coasting, hiding in the backseat while her life drifts off course. Then one summer afternoon a tall, built bruiser named Flynn strides in and steers her straight into an infatuation she never saw coming.

Flynn introduces Laurel to things she’s never imagined—to the violent but exciting realm of the underground boxing circuit, to rough sex and even rougher role-playing, and to an attraction she craves even as it intimidates her. As Flynn invites her deeper into his world and his life, Laurel has to make a choice—let fear keep her holed up where it’s safe, or take a chance and fight for the man who makes her feel more alive than she’d dreamed possible.

Reader Advisory: This book contains consensual but intense rape role-playing scenes that some may find upsetting.
