Thoroughly Whipped by Tillie Cole
5.0
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.
