I wish you well but I can no longer stand aside

And watch you sabotage the two of us

I love you to death, but I can't spent the rest of my

Life in this darkness, I'm done

The S Word is an erotic strangers-lovers romance novel featuring cam workers. Nicole is seductive, cocky, and a flirt there’s no denying that. She is a woman with drive and that leads her to meeting Alexander. They form a collaboration together on the website they both stream and sparks fly. Alexander and Nicole bend rules on their streams that push Alexander’s no  sex rule to its limits. But they are open to pushing those limits because of the other. The two have a chemistry from the moment they first interact that neither of them understands. It’s new and strange to them neither truly knowing what to do or how to proceed yet unable to stop themselves. 

However, not everyone is how they seem online or in person. Whether it’s an ex, a stranger or otherwise. Like Alexander says “Honesty is something hard to find these days. Especially online.” He isn’t wrong, not at all. Sometimes, online we find beauty true friendships and love but there’s always that danger lurking. People don’t realize how dangerous an online public presence can be and Nyssa explores that danger beautifully well, the ups and downs. The good we find and also the bad. And the bad does come. With public a persona people can’t always separate real from fake public from private, persona from person. Not everyone who follows wishes for your happiness. Some wish for misery. Some can’t let go of what they think is theirs.

Through twists and turns hidden truths and lies we follow Alexander and Nicole further through their story. Both characters are human both make mistakes. Threats follow as does more. Rules exist for a reason and the aftermath of breaking them isn’t always pretty even if it’s not the fault of the one who broke them. Sometimes consequences be damned, breaking the rules is worth it despite the end result. But, is it in this case? Alexander fulfills Nicole’s wildest dreams and biggest fantasies they are good together but, after everything, will they make it? Will they end up together?

I try not to write reviews with too many spoilers. I start with a summary and then I say how I feel. I absolutely loved this book! The S Word was a trip. A great trip. I love Alexander and Nicole as individuals and together. I love how human they are and how much I could understand the emotions they were feeling. The story did have me wanting more while I read it and Nyssa delivered. This story isn’t just about sex it’s about the characters and their lives, about their interpersonal relationships and I truly enjoy that in books I read. Nyssa’s writing like I have said before pulls you in and gets you to think. You feel her characters emotions and you can’t help but, become invested in their stories. You want to know more. You need to see how the story ends. Nyssa may write fiction, romance, erotica you name it but, her stories always keep her characters human. Characters we can relate to in so many ways. Even though they are experiencing lives entirely different than our own. Her stories bring to light real things that happen and can happen while telling us a fictional story of characters. I love that about Nyssa’s writing and I am so glad she writes like this. I look forward to her future novels because I guarantee that we haven’t seen anything yet! More great books will come from Nyssa.
