One Night. I spent one night being shown everything I've been missing.
Everything that I didn't know I needed.
Everything that would irrevocably change me forever. 365 days have passed since that night of gluttonous pleasure, and still my body and soul remember every moment..
Every reverent touch.
Every whispered word.
Every promise of pleasure. As I settle into my new life, the men who turned me inside out, come crashing back into my world. Their silver-tongued promises of filthy devotion set my soul on fire.
But as it turns out, things aren’t as simple as they made it seem and in the end, my gluttonous heart might just end up shattered. …. A Night of Flesh and Gluttony is a two part duet of the multi-author Vices and Hedonism Shared World, though it can be read separately from the others. This is a medium burn novel that features three possessive and territorial men that will stop at nothing to show the woman they’ve claimed as theirs that she is loved. This novel includes swearing and sexual content suitable for +18 audience.

Review:

Devin, our female lead, has had many boyfriends in the past but none of them have been able to keep yo with her sexually. So, when her best friend, Nyx, dresses her up and pushes her to go to this exclusive club called Rapture. There she finds that she can embrace her highly sexual libido with four other men - Dante, Cole, Lucian, and Otis. In their arms, Devy finds herself enjoying every bit of their attention. As their encounters end, Devy returns back to her life - a job as a librarian which she enjoys immensely. She even finds herself moving to a librarian job. She believes that her night with those four is over, but fate has other plans and once more, they find her. Each one determined to become part of her world. Well, everyone except Cole. As CEO and head of a multi-billion company, the board has been pressing for him to become engaged with Amber, a woman who had been at the same club. But as the men become part of her life, Devy finds her apartment broken into and a blackmailing letter waiting for her. Now, the men in her life have to find out who is behind it and why.

I absolutely loved Devin. This was a young woman in her late twenties with a job she loves deeply and embraces her sexually charged body. She doesn't believe she will meet those delicious men again and is even surprised when they find her. I love that we get to see her interactions with each one. I don't think, if the need came, I could choose between any of them. Each one seems to represent one of the seven deadly sins. We know Devin is gluttony. I probably have an idea who the other guys represent, but I am writing this at two-twenty in the morning so my brain is not working. LOL

I have always enjoyed reversed harem stories. I want to say that it is in my top five tropes. I am just not a fan of cliffhangers and this one made me nearly keel over. Still, it is all good. The book was engaging, kept me glued to the very end of the last page, and I loved every minute of the sex. Seriously, I had to fan myself a couple of times. I don't know how many will be in this series but I am quite looking forward to reading the next one.
