Now I also want a Viscount Henry :P

It's official. Tillie Cole can write anything! I absolutely love her dark stories and her emotional stories are one of the few that can actually bring on tears, but I have never read comedy from her until now. It definitely did not disappoint. This story was so much fun. It made me smile and laugh out loud. It was steamy with chemistry that is off the charts with these characters. It was definitely a read that I will look forward to reading again and I can't wait to see what Tillie Cole has in store for us next!

Thoroughly Whipped by Tillie Cole is a book that surprised me in many ways, because of how unexpected the story that unfolded was. Featuring 28 year old Henry “Harry” Sinclair III and 25 year old Faith Maria Parisi, who couldn’t be more different from each other had they tried, needless to say when their paths cross for the first time, it ends in disaster, with Faith hoping that they never come across each other again.

Three years later, Faith’s worst nightmare comes true when none other than Harry becomes the new CEO of the magazine at which she works. Having called him an overpriviledged cockface among other things, Faith is however determined to make the best of it, and prove to Harry that she is more than capable of delivering when it comes to her profession.

It is partly her determination to prove to Harry that she would be able to deliver a feature article for the magazine, something which she had been wanting the opportunity to do so for a long while, the timing just seems right when she is invited to an elite and by invitation only sex club known as NOX. Excited by the prospect and having never been apologetic about her sexuality, Faith embarks on a journey that is about to change her life, both professionally and otherwise.

At the club, she is introduced to a character known as Maître Auguste, someone who keeps his identity a secret and teaches her body the greatest pleasures it has ever known. At the same time, Faith also finds herself seeing a different side of Harry from the one she has always thought to be true, the kind of man she could seriously fall for if given half the chance.

One thing leads to another and before she knows it, Faith is involved with two men who sets her senses afire, both of whom are able to take her to new heights when it comes to sexual pleasure. But Faith knows that deep in her heart, it is Harry with whom she is in danger of falling in love with, that is if she is willing see beyond the secret that Harry holds close to himself, a secret that could possibly mean a fatal end to what is blossoming to life between the two.

I enjoyed Thoroughly Whipped more than I thought I would, not that I picked this up expecting it to be a bad read. Though the sparks and antagonism that I wanted to continue and heighten between Harry and Faith didn’t go on as long as I expected it to, I did find myself enamored by the changes that took place in the relationship that budded to life between the two. Coming from diversely different backgrounds, Faith and Harry are complete opposites of one another, which is where half the fun lies.

I loved Faith for being able to see through the armor that surrounds Harry and understanding him for who he is. At the same time, I loved Harry for being the kind, generous, and the oh so sexy lover that he was to Faith, delivering exceptionally well on that simmering sexual tension between the two.

I highly recommend Thoroughly Whipped to those who love spiced up reads, complemented with great emotional depth, and manages to astound you, all in a good way.

Final Verdict: Thoroughly Whipped is a novel that is astonishingly delightful, quirky, and oh so sexy in a way you cannot help but fall in love with!

Rating = 4.5/5

I really loved this book at the beginning and then about 40% something changed and it was harder for me to stay interested. It really sure why, it was good though.

this is such an unpopular opinion here, but this book was really a mess, the plot is so messy that I can't even put It on words because it's going to be confusing af, but im going to try
this book is about a girl who hates her boss and ends up having sex with him in a club in which she doesn't recognize is him, everything good so far, they barely speak and the first 20%-40% of the books are weird sex scenes.
then she starts talking with her boss discovers he's not an asshole and drops the guy who was fucking in the sex club (and yes the boss and the guy are the same), but she does this after she said she was having feelings for the club guy so wtf???????
after that everything is a blur, and honestly I couldn't find any chemistry between her and the boss or her and the club guy so :/
also, the side characters were so bland, like I get this is a romcom, but cmon with that plot it could've been better

The cover alone had me convinced to read this book. I didn't even care about the blurb.
This book had some great laugh out loud moments and honestly it's just what I was in the mood for.

I love our main character, Faith Parisi. She was not afraid to speak what was on her mind and it made for some funny moments. She was fiercely loyal and confident.

Harry on the other hand was kind and compassionate. At first, he came across as grumpy, serious and a little mean but Faith looked underneath all that and fell in love with him.

I also liked the little side romance the author added in this book involving one of her best friends.

The beginning just felt a little slow to me. The conversation between Faith and Harry doesn't actually start until a few chapters in. I couldn't get into the story till our main characters actually started interacting with each other. I was feeling detached from the story in the begining. But the story picks up and gets better.
Also, some things that happened in the book were fairly obvious and anyone would have guessed it.

All in all, this was a funny and low angst book with a lot of steam that I would recommend for a light read.

Whew

Well, that wasn’t expected. Over the years, I have come to love Tillie’s books. They’re immediate one clicks for me. This book though, it just wasn’t it. It was all over the place and overall ridiculous. It had real potential, but I think there was too much focus on the “romantic comedy”

Binge - worthay!!!

Tille never dissappoints, i've not read a normal (if you can call it that) romance of hers, just the extreme, but this was SO GOOD! Unfortunately I was super tired and had to finish the book in one sitting last night so I did skim a little at the end but it didnt drag on I just needed to get to the good parts.

Cath and Harry (her bosses son) dont have just a hate relationship, they dont have one at all after he overheard her tell her friend that he just needed 'a good f&*king' lol
Que sexy Harry with his abs and as we discover later on, huge.......personality ?
Que a sex club so Cath can get her story instead of writing a column of sex advice
Que an amazing enemies to lovers hilarious story!!

loved it :)
