Over a Barrel is a steamy novella featuring two mature women who know what they want and need, but in CC’s case is afraid to reach for it. Al is working in New Orleans on secondment and is thrilled to have another chance at sexing up CC. Having to abstain bc they are opposing closers for a deal will only make their post-deal consummation sweeter. I liked both women, especially Al with her straightforwardness and big Domme energy. She reads CC’s needs and boundaries well and respects them. CC is extremely attracted to Al as well, but is hesitant to trust her, especially with her kinky desires because she had to start her life all over when a devastating betrayal from another lawyer and lover shredded her heart and threatened her career.
Al and CC’s chemistry is off the charts; their enforced slow burn and each’s competence spliced into their flirtatious banter makes it even sexier. The one downside for me is all the cameos. CC makes a joke early on about needing a flow chart for Al’s family connections, and she isn’t wrong. I had to pause and reread a couple times when Al’s family is on the page and experienced the same sense of being overwhelmed as CC did. I wanted to stop trying to remember who was who and just ignore all the names, but Al’s family is so intertwined with CC and Al’s budding relationship and professions that I had to. The character connections aren’t forced in per se, but there are so many it’s as much a distraction as it is a look at Al’s close-knit and unconventional family. It teeters on the line of “ArEnT yOu InTeReStEd In OuR bOoKs ToO?
Despite the barrage of family, the story is fun and flirty. Al’s family is warm and inviting, and I loved CC’s sister Colby. She’s supportive and sassy, and as a polyamorous pansexual (two of my favorite rainbow flavors), hopefully, she gets a book too…hopefully with fewer extended cameos 😉
