4 fun, dirty and scorching-hot stars

Short, funny and super-sexy, this friends-to-lovers novella made me laugh out loud and fan myself at all of the hotness before leaving me with a big smile on my face. It’s lots of fun and seriously dirty, and I loved it!

“I think I hate sex.”

Will and Cassie are College lab partners and have been friends for about year when she drops that ^^ bomb on him. Their relationship has always been strictly platonic, but with those five words, everything is about to change.

She was the kind of girl that every buddy of yours thought you were secretly banging, and you secretly wished you were, but you weren’t.
Like a dumbass, I friend zoned myself from the beginning. And because we were friends, I couldn’t hit on her. Recently, I had been reconsidering that rule.

Having experienced only mediocre sex in her lie, Cassie thinks that she is a prude – unable to get really turned on and believing that she doesn’t like sex at all. So what is a friend to do, other than finally fulfil his secret fantasies and make a bet that he can prove her wrong.

“I need to show you. Oh god, let me.”

I really enjoyed this book! It’s a quick read, but I was so impressed that even in such a short story, the author managed to create crazy chemistry, and the sexual tension is sizzling!

She’d gone from almost hyperventilating to holding her breath, practically vibrating silently.
“You are
not frigid. And I can prove it to you, over and over and over and over again.”
… “Once should be enough.”

The story is told in dual POV, and I loved both Will and Cassie’s voices. Their inner monologues are hilarious and engaging, and the banter and building tension between them is fantastic. They are fun and natural together, and everything that happens between them feels ‘right’. They do have some bumps to iron out along the way, but Will is pretty freaking irresistible, and all of that anticipation can only be held back for so long.

“I. Want. You. You. I want you in my bed … And I’m sorry if it fucks up our friendship – because, damn it, I want that, too.”

And Will… holy hell! Will has a filthy mouth and even filthier moves, so be warned that this book is highly smutty. It’s classed as erotica, and it’s really descriptive (and I admit it made me cringe at one point), but OMG it’s hot! But more than just being a sexual arrangement, there are true feelings involved and the emotion adds a nice intensity to the sexy time.

“One day I’m going to make love to you, Cass,” he promised. “Make no mistake about it; that’s where we’re headed, where I want to go. But right now, I’m going to fuck you. I’m going to fuck you slowly and carefully and I’m going to make you come.”

This was such a fun read. I loved the characters, I loved their dynamic, I loved the delicious feeling of anticipation that was there from start to finish, and I love the way they story unfolded. I’m really looking forward to reading more from this author.

I loved it – 4 stars.
