Jaclyn and E are the real victims here and morally and ethically what has been done is wrong. It may or may not hold up in a court but this author won’t be getting any more of my money. I’m sad I can’t get it back already.

i have recently found out that this author has plagiarised the works and ideas of voEROS (on tiktok) and other women in his community, and also used his childhood trauma in her book. therefore, i will not be reading and supporting any of her works anymore and i’ll be taking back my ratings for this book.

If you need proof, you can always look it up on his tiktok account or on patreon.

How far is she going to let me take this?

Hidden behind his mask while he entices his fan base, Jack better known as the Joker is an enigma. On meeting his interviewer, he is blown away at how easily Quinlan can be led astray. The chemistry is instant, and their desires aligned. Neither will be parting ways anytime soon.

“I should be thanking you for the compliment. There’s nothing hotter than knowing I made you so satisfied you left a puddle on my sheets.”

My second read by this author and yet again she has blown my mind. Refreshingly edgy writing, morally questionable characters and creative sexy times that made me blush. Dana Isaly is the real deal when it comes to erotic romances and worth having on your radar. 🖤

this would be more like a two-star read for most people but i rate my smut books very low like the most they can get is a 4-star rating from me and that’s if their the absolute best top tier i lovedfjdhsjdlskdncm

i didn’t hate this with a burning passion but i’m just not into it idk

i guess this could be good if you’ve never read smut before but i need to go back to my ao3 days because popular smutty books are disappointing me so often i swearrrr

I’m sick to my stomach knowing what I know now. This book makes me feel icky now, sexualizing others without their consent is disgusting. Profiting off it? Doing it for your own pleasure/gain? Horrific. Once again, I no longer support this author.

Do you own research but vo.EROS on instagram/tiktok has shared his story. My heart goes out to all those effected by this authors actions.

Now I like a good erotica story every now and then, but this one just didn't hit the spot like I had hoped. To be perfectly honest, it read like the script of a porn movie...but not a good one. The premise sounded so good and the cover was alluring, so of course I had to try it. Sadly it just didn't work for me.

Now I love BDSM and have read my fair share of it. But this one...was not it for me. The kink was all over the place. There's degradation kink, which has to be written really well for me to enjoy it, and it really wasn't pulled off well in this one for me. Jack kept referring to Quinlan as "dog" and well...yeah...no. There's spanking, some sirs and safe words thrown in, and a completely out of the place "daddy" that pops up once and that's it. Really, it kind of read all over the place. I don't expect a lot of plot in erotica, so that certainly didn't surprise me here. You get enough plot to set up the sex, which is fine by me. But the erotica just didn't click for me. There was some story that tried to be interwoven into it, but it didn't really fit. It should have been a longer novella for that. As it was, it just felt slapped in. The epilogue was just...strange. They literally go from o to 60 in less than 90 pages. I'm all for erotica and a HFN, so the epilogue just added a bit of cheese for me.

All in all, it was ok but certainly nothing I'd come back to or remember.

I am okay with the degradation kink but usage of the word dog? Dogs are such good creatures and I don't think it should be brought into your stupid kink, Joker.

Also, what is with the change in attitude? I can't stand the indecisiveness, do you like her or do you want to fuck her? I thought this was a book that focused on either one.

I wanted a light-hearted and quick smut read but this is just boring and a lot of eyerolls.

This is either going to really work for you, or really… not work for you. I’m definitely on the ‘not’ side. This book has been so hyped lately so when I saw it was available on audio I was here for it. Unfortunately, the whole story was just not my kind of read. I was expecting like, a darker Jessa Kane type of book, but it wasn’t that. I’m honestly not sure what this was. If it worked for you that’s awesome and I’m not here to tell anyone not to read it, but yeah… no. Not for me.

This had EXTREME fanfiction/wattpad vibes. Heroine had insufferable pick-me girl energy. BUT, it's a super short novella, so you really have nothing to lose by giving it a shot. If you're curious, then read it. Why not. I don't care to dissuade anyone from reading this, just sharing my opinion.

I originally read and rated this back in September, but I felt like updating my review. Star rating is staying the same, just expanding on why.

This had EXTREME fanfiction/wattpad vibes. Heroine had insufferable pick-me girl energy. BUT, it's a super short novella, so you really have nothing to lose by giving it a shot. If you're curious, then read it. Why not. I don't care to dissuade anyone from reading this, just sharing my opinion.

The best way to describe my issue with this novella is that it reads like a sixteen year old girl's fantasy. For example, we have the classic nightclub scene. Our hero, Jack, takes our heroine, Quin, out to his nightclub to meet The Boys and, upon arrival, they're greeted by his friend who says ”she's hot, bro" to Jack and then stoops down and picks Quin up in his arms, by way of greeting. (Because she's so tiny!!) That is exactly the kind of scene a teenager would swoon over: Omg, his friend called me hot! Omg, I'm being picked up! It exudes such extreme ✨high school✨ energy.

The Big Incident of the novella is that Quin falls down at the club and her entire pussy falls out of her dress lmaoooooooo. I have so many questions about the character motivations and logistics at play here.

Motivations
A random stranger pushes her to the ground because...? His explanation is “Come on, bro. She's just some slut that didn't even bother to wear panties. Asking for it, if you ask me.” So... is that the reason he pushed her? How did he preemptively know she wasn't wearing panties... before... he pushed her... for...not wearing panties... and her pussy fell out... informing us that she wasn't wearing panties... which is the reason that he... pushed her?

Logistics
But then the next thing I knew, Quin had been knocked free of my arms and she was on the floor, her dress up around her naked hips... How does this happen? How? I want the physics.

Jack bursts onto the scene to beat up Quin's push-er and we get this amazing interaction:
"You touched my girl?" I asked, staring down at him. He swallowed and looked around for help. "Did you look at her bare pussy when she fell?"

Bye. I don't know whose fantasy this is, but it's not mine.

So... I'm not a fan of this kink but I must admit the writing style sucked me in and I couldn't put it down! The writer mixed the sex scenes and didn't make it all about pet/master... But even with that, I imagined being her and going in a house to find that... picture me freaking out a little bit.

Now I can't wait to read Wes story and I might have fell in love with their little group.

It's heavy on BDSM; what I like to add is, yes, it's a fictional book and by no means a guide to the lifestyle. However, the author does add the message of consent is key and no kink-shaming. I love that she did that.

Dana Isaly is a new author to me. I am highly impressed with her writing and look forward to her other books. I am so happy this book landed under my radar. I hope to see more of Jack and Quinlan in the future. Keep an open mind; You will love this book. It’s a must-read.

On a side note, how many times can I say love in a review? 😂It has been twenty-four hours, and I am still in a high from this book.

Update: This author stole the narrator’s experience as a victim of SA and used it as a plot for her book.I’m disgusted.
MENTION OF SUICIDE ATTEMPT WITH BASICALLY NO CONTENT!
Other than that this was just smut with a bunch of role play and bdsm elements for sock factor and some unnecessary drama.
However the guy who narrated the audiobook has one of the hottest voices I’ve ever heard and he’s obviously really talented.You’re the real star of the show baby.

What is the games we play by Dana Isaly about?

Games We Play is the short but sinfully sexy first book in the One Night series by Dana Isaly. The book tells the story of The Joker aka Jack, an online faceless gamer with a sinful voice who also brings people's fantasies to life.

Where is Dana Isaly from?

She was born in the midwest and has been all over but now resides (begrudgingly) in Alabama. She is a lover of books, coffee, and rainy days. Dana is probably the only person in the writing community that is actually a morning person.
