It was cute and funny. Really enjoyed it

I had a hard time getting into this in the beginning. It seemed a little slow and it almost felt as though I was reading two separate books; an office romance/enemies to lovers story and a sex club story. Once everything clicked into to place I really enjoyed this.

I was so curious about this new sub genere from Tillie. Her readers know her very well for her dark books and this one is the completely opposite side of what she used to write. And for me was perfect, sweet and sexy! I loved Faith much more than Harry. Her spice and outgoing personality gave a contrasts versus the cockiness and sometimes cold Harry in the beginning of the story. As you go along all the walls crumble and he unleashed the fire and chivalry, making a strong chemistry so delicious.

I laughed and enjoyed this reading. It was fun, easy to read, steamy and hilarious. Exactly what everyone needs these difficult days.

I don’t know the last time I laughed so hard.
In an effort to be vague as all get out, can I just implore everyone to read this?
The cast of characters are incredible, genuine. There’s friendships, an enemy, an unbelievable klutz.
Lots of adventures. These pages are filled with hilarious hijinks.

Thoroughly Whipped is not your normal Tillie Cole book and I loved it. This romantic comedy is about Faith. She writes hysterical advice on sex and is the ultimate klutz. It is also about Harry. An uptight stuffy English man who just happens to be everywhere Faith doesn’t want him to be. They have the worst first meetings and Faith can’t keep her foot out of her mouth but they are so fun to read about. This book made me laugh and of course had its moments of heart ache and WOW there were some hot hot scenes! This light funny read is just what we need and you should definitely give it a go!

- 3.5 stars -

Thoroughly Whipped is a light and fun contemporary romance, much different than what most readers are used to from Tillie Cole. Faith Parisi was a sassy and very lovable character, I absolutely loved her personality and the relationship she had with her friends and parents. The story starts when Henry “Harry” Sinclair III becomes the new CEO of the company Faith works for. She already met him years ago when she interned for the company, and had a bit of a rude and awkward interaction with him. She kinds of dislikes him and the same goes for Harry, who is a bit taken back with her colorful personality. Harry is a hard and cold man, and quiet the opposite of Faith. But when these two are put together in close quarters when an elevator breaks down, they for the first time start opening up to each other. Harry has put up walls around his heart, but Faith manages to break it down piece by piece.

This is a pretty straight forward romantic comedy, with many hilarious situations. There were a couple of times where I was suffering from second-hand embarrassment. Faith is super clumsy but also very sweet. Harry has been kind of living his life according to the society he is a part of, but it is obvious that he isn't happy with how things are going. Faith shows him to have more fun and go after the things that can make him happy. I enjoyed seeing Harry's personality change the more he was around Faith. I loved him relaxing and letting lose. I thought Faith and Harry made a great couple. This book besides being hilarious was also very hot and I loved the scenes that took place at NOX, a sex club. I rated it 3.5 stars because there were some scenes in the last quarter of the book that didn't really hold my attention. However, overall I enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a light and fun, sort of enemies to lovers romance, then you'll probably enjoy this book.

Funny read

I really enjoyed this book. I found it really funny and I loved Faith. Faith and Harry’s relationship showed opposites really do attract.

I knew once I heard Tillie start talking about how excited she was to write this book that I wanted to read it. It’s her version of a romcom. Lately, I haven’t been reading very fast. I finished Thoroughly Whipped pretty quickly. Before I knew it, I had already read over half the book. I have two things I wish the book had. I felt the hero’s POV would have elevated the story. My other issue is that there were a few transitions that felt rushed. I felt left behind. Maybe the hero’s POV would have solved that. I don’t know. I would love to read more books set in this world. Characters are fun and intriguing with some depth. Overall, I enjoyed this read.

I voluntarily read an early copy.

This is one of the best rom-coms I've ever read, it is so funny, so steamy and so so good! This book exceeded all my expectations and, well, it's written by Tillie Cole, so they were already pretty high. From the first page, I was hooked and ended up reading the entire book in a single day. Now I wish I hadn't devoured it that fast, because I loved it this much that I already want to read it again.

Faith is an American journalist, writing a sex advice column, who always says what's on her mind and who is quite clumsy, especially around a certain person... She loves to party and never backs away from the opportunity to live new experiences, which will be useful when she discovers NOX, a very private and secretive sex club. Viscount Harry Sinclair is the perfect British man, cold and very proper, way too sexy with an accent to die for. With those two, could we expect less than an epic story?

Thoroughly Whipped is hilarious and at the same time it is not super silly as most rom-coms are, the humour is just perfect and all the dirty jokes are terrific. My book is filled with highlights of my favourite scenes that made me laugh so bad, Faith is the best, her sarcasm and her goofy moments couldn't be more amazing.

What I loved about this novel is that even though the comedic aspect is a big part of the book, the love story is extremely well developed and the enemies-to-lovers trope with this rom-com atmosphere was just what I had hoped for. The story is also very deep with both main characters being really different and having difficulties in their life.

When I first saw the cover, I really thought the BDSM/sex club aspect of the book would be part of the comedy, but how wrong was I, because those scenes were SUPER intense. Harry's features being inspired by Henry Cavill (who is, in my opinion, one of the sexiest men on Earth) did not help at all to make this book less hot. Have you ever seen that video of Henry Cavill reading a chapter of The Witcher? Well, that is exactly the image I had of Harry in my head. So, ladies, be prepared to fall head over heels in love with Lord Sinclair...

I have read almost every book that Tillie Cole has ever written, from the dark romance to the heartbreaking stories, and I really thought that I could not be further impressed by her talent, but this novel is now one of my favourite books of hers. If you are looking for a story that will make you laugh from the first page to the last, but which is also insanely naughty with a good love story, Thoroughly Whipped is made for you.
