Break Me by Ella Jacobs

Crystal’s first review of the year

it was amazing
I’m beyond thrilled that Dax got his own story! It was an interesting story from his perspective and to see what he did behind the scenes. Emma showed us what it’s like to be placed in such a conflicting predicament.

I want more from this side of the BDSM world that Ella Jacobs has created for us!

I enjoyed this story so much! The chase… the lights 🫠🫠🫠 well delivered storyline! The spice was really good and I enjoyed the turn of events at the end… I wasn’t expecting that.
