Natalia Lourose writes angsty romance about broken people figuring out life and finding love along the way. Television and far too much smut as a teenager left her obsessed with dark-haired bad boys who are moody and wear leather jackets. Tucked away in her writing nook with a dog at her feet, two cats on her keyboard, and husband yelling at the computer – she is always writing something, or trying to.
She loves interacting with fans and fellow book lovers on social media!
This book was ripped right out of my deepest darkest fantasies 😅🤩
Perfect. Amazing. Steamy. Literally, every single kink that drives me crazy is integrated into this short, naughty read! And I loved every second of it.
The caring, primal, praise/ degradation that Conner showers Ivy with is to die for. Mercy, I wish this book was full length. Because that went by entirely too quickly. ❤️🔥
Another smutty novella under my belt! This time, it's about primal kink, which is a kink I didn't realize a well-loved among our 'community' lately. But hey, not complaining. Anyway, I'm sick of those BDSM books. Let's have more of these different kinky relationships. Hell, I kinda want to read some good furries books now (or anything that might come close).
I wish this was longer because I enjoyed this novella about this dating app.
Ivy has some dirty darker needs with her kink she loves primal/CNC type of play and her last boyfriends don’t do it for her so when she finds a club/app that gives her just that she jumps to it. And matches with Connor they talk and have some chemistry now she’s planning a play date with him. And Connor is alllll beast when they start playing he stalks her from afar and the chase is on. Lordddd Amex in the woods is so messy and hot and when Ivy and Connor play it’s so delicious. And it doesn’t stop there oh no they take it to the club. I love that Connor is a great guy I wish we saw more of a background with them.
I wanna read more of this series see who’s next!!

Please read trigger warnings before reading this novella!
This erotic novella is one of the best I’ve read so far. This book had most of my favourite kinks which made it so exciting to read. There isn’t much plot in this, it being a novella but it was interesting enough to read it in one sitting.
The idea of a kink app is fascinating, I would be curious to see how it would have worked out. It seems like a safe idea at the same time dangerous because the thought of landing in the wrong hands would freak me out.
I liked how there was a mutual understanding between Connor and Ivy before making the fantasy a reality, after care is very important after these type of kink plays and Natalia made sure to include it in this book.
I would have loved to see this novella as a full book! I think the descriptions of the kink plays and the plot would have been interesting.
I'm definitely going to read the rest of the Dirty Desires series!
I’m a huge fan of CNC/primal play but I didn’t enjoy it here. I felt like it was missing the raw emotions, the truly immersive experience of being chased and the thrill that comes with it. It glanced over the scene, giving just enough for it to work but didn’t delve beyond that. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t really do CNC/primal play any justice.
Ivy has needs, specific kinky needs! No one in her real life understands and judges her. Her exs run and shame her when she opens up! So she turns to a app. Desire, an app that specializes in any and all kinks.
I’ve wants to be wanted, needed and more importantly CHASED! Scrolling through the app one man stands out. Connor! He’s there to fulfill her needs! But will one night be enough?!!
This was a quick and HOT novella! I need more of this couple and this kink!!
So truthfully I gave it a 4.5⭐️ rating. Maybe one of these days we will be able to give half star ratings on these book sites.. 😂 Anyways, books like this are quickly becoming my new guilty pleasure that I’m not one but guilty about! I am so into the whole idea of this particular dating app. Realistically could it be done exactly like this one and safely? Yea I’m not so sure on that one, but IF it could… 👀 It’s definitely a fun start to the story though and really sets the mood for the primal play. And let me tell you that whole chase was intense and I loved every minute of it! The author did a great job covering any communication the characters had and what, if any, limits they put in place for the scene. It was very well written in my opinion and highlighted that while it can be fun to engage in this kind of play, it can and should be done safely. From start to finish it showcased some of the facets found in BDSM dynamics that I feel get misrepresented and/or misunderstood quite often. Trust. Honesty. Respect. Equality. Oh.. and it was hella spicy!! 😆 Pacing was great, storyline was fun and exciting, and the smut was exceptional. (Yes I totally counted the number of times she got a big O’.. spoiler alert you’ll have to count them for yourselves 😉🤣) Such a great book when you’re in the mood for a good chase me down and ravage me kind of read!
Ivy has always had a desire to try kinkier things, but she's only explored on her own. When an ad for a new app, Desire, comes up on her phone, she's intrigued. It's an app where people can share their desires and connect to the most compatible partner. Ivy shares that she wants to be chased and hunted down. Connor finds her profile and after talking through everything they agree to meet up at a club to partake in Ivy's deepest and darkest fantasy.
This is a quick and spicy novella that was made for primal play lovers! I'm not a big primal play person, but I honestly loved how it was done in this book. Connor is SO hot and I love how he was focused on Ivy's pleasure. The overstimulation scenes were everything 😮💨😍🥵 I love that he calls her 'little doe' 🥺
This book dives head first into Ivy’s kinky fantasy she has never been able to play out. When she comes across this new site to fulfill all of her darkest fantasy’s, she quickly meets Connor and the two get to work!
Almost immediately we are thrusted into Ivy’s ultimate kink and the steam is off the charts!!!! The chemistry between Ivy and Conner was so sexy. Dang. Even if this isn’t a particular fantasy of mine, it was still scorching.
Both praise and degradation are delivered with asserted alpha-ness that make you feel a mix of emotions yet ultimately can’t stop turning the pages. Then, the gentleness he also showed after plays out to be the perfect man!
I wish this book was longer and we could see how this relationship played out! It was steamy and their connection was so deep you can’t help but picture their HEA. Lol. It was a great short story!
*Overall 5/5 *Heat? 5/5 *Ivy only - first person POV *Fastttttt burn *Short Story
Chase Me is my first Natalia Lourose book. Lord, have mercy because this primal read was epic! I think I read it in one sitting and took me forever to wrap my head around to write this review. I could not stop thinking about it. For sure, I'll come back to read it again. I can't wait for what's next in this universe!
𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕: • bdsm elements • boy-obsessed • consent king • degradation king • dubcon • cnc • impact play • praise king • primal play
I'll be the prey, so all I need now is the hunter.
I wish this was longer. I sooooo wish this was longer. The length of the book, *and* the actual chase. ;)
There's a goddess inside me that's freshly liberated and primal with her need.
Jumping straight into the scene was delicious, and I really enjoyed the but maybe because we only got Ivy's POV, it felt like we missed a little something? I'd have loved even just a paragraph or two from Connor's POV to give his character a little more depth.
a novella version of salacious player's club with a darker element to the kinks. do i wish this was longer? probably yes. do i wish it was darker? definitely. i still enjoyed it and the potential is there so i can't wait to see where this series goes, especially if it taps into more unexplored kinks.
"You should run now, little doe. Before I catch you."
Another bite-sized morsel for the books, pun probably intended. Chase Me was my first delve into Natalia Lourose’s storytelling, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this small little word baby was a satisfying experience. I was promised suspense. I was promised a good time. I was promised some filthy ongoings. Aaaand Lourose delivered on all accounts.
A short story of acceptance and trust, we follow good girl Ivy’s journey of finding her path to rebirth by allowing herself to acknowledge what she wants is perfectly normal. She meets the mysterious and tattooed Connor through a dating app that provides a safe place to explore your deepest, darkest desires, finally giving into her needs. Their encounter begins with an electrifying chase, quickly turning into a deliciously carnal night neither will forget.
Lourose’s writing is engaging, perfectly paced and keeps you turning those pages. I read this in one quick sitting, and I was left with a dire need for more. With a healthy list of kinks to explore, I can only imagine what the rest of series has to offer – I’m very much looking forward to finding out! If you’re on the hunt (see what I did there?) for a quick steamy read, then I recommend giving this book a read. Loved it. Gimme more.
Short and sweet. Well I guess sweet isn’t the right word here 😅😂
I love a good novella/short story 👏🏼
Ivy and Connor gave what they needed to give.
I loooove a good story that exudes female sexual empowerment. I love reading about women who know what they want and aren’t afraid to go look for it. 👏🏼
Definitely recommend if you just want something short and to the point😏.
Please read TW and CW 😆
Thanks to Natalia Lourose for providing with ARC in exchange for an honest review. 🫶🏼 Chase Me is out 9/14!
Just as the blurb promises the chase is real and it leaves you salivating for the outcome. Ivy & Connor are the personas for every wet dream. They both are hot as hell and define kinks at their best. The naughtiest dark romance. I really want a full novel on them, this one ended too fast. It was a short story. It was perfect and addresses the darkest fantasy a person can have and how it’s a struggle to express it in real life.
Short and sweet, this novella gets right into it. The smut was perfectly paced, and I really enjoyed how the story played out. I'll definitely be checking out more from this author 😁
