The Naughty Pine by Sibylla Matilde
Narrated by Kitty Wilder
Standalone, Emotional BDSM Romance
I havenāt really read much over the past year, and since the pandemic started, I have been listening to mostly romcoms. On a personal level, I love Siby, and since my friends do too, they read The Naughty Pine before I did, and recommended it highly to me.
DƤrah is a single mom with a teenaged daughter who she co-parents with her ex-husband. She doesnāt have much of a social life, so when her friend invites her out to a private club, despite her nerves, DƤrah accepts. What she didnāt expect was that the Master Rogue her friend had been going on and on about would be the guy to make her knees weak with want.
I found DƤrah to be so, so relatable. A little on the heavier side, her insecurities almost seemed insurmountable, but Rogue was so patient and wonderful, he certainly helped with that.
āIām tired of waiting, DƤr. Iām done.ā
I looked back at him with a frown. āTired of waiting for what?ā
āFor you to figure your shit out. To admit that you need something more.ā
āLike what?ā I scoffed.
āDiscipline,ā he replied with a raised eyebrow.
āYou need to come back to The Naughty Pine.ā
Midway through reading The Naughty Pine, the audiobook came out, so I switched over. After a moment of shock that DƤrah didnāt sound how I pictured, I actually loved the audio narration. The insecurities and hesitation were brought beautifully to life.
Iām afraid to go into more depth because I really donāt want to spoil this for anyone.
Likes:
- Relatable, older, heavier heroine.
- Sheās a single mom that still doesnāt have her shit together.
- I really liked her daughter.
- Holy cow, Siby can write some HOT sex!
- This was so much more than a BDSM romance.
- Great for someone new to this type of romance.
- Brought a ton of emotion that I wasnāt expecting.
Dislikes:
- Her relationship and co-parenting with her ex seemed a little lacking. I am disappointed he let his kid live the way they did.
The Narration:
Overall I loved the narration. At first, she seemed a little melancholy/sad, but then she just seemed real, and I loved it. I hope to hear more from this narrator.
The Down & Dirty:
Rating: 4.25 Stars, 5 Heat, 4.5 Narration
