Recommendation
This was a quick, hot read following Sadie and Ashton who have been childhood friends that have never crossed any lines. Their bond is undeniable and probably my favorite take away from this story. I love when a connection between two characters seems real and relate able. There is a lot of sexual tension and hot as hell scenes which I enjoyed, but I wish there had been a bit more depth into their relationship. I loved the moments when it showed how into each other they were and it always left me wanting just a little more. Funny, sweet and very hot!
Excerpts
You're giving me a hard-on, Sadie. When you stand up for yourself, it's a free invitation for my cock to stand up as well.
No woman with a pulse could forget riding Ashton Levine's face.
Publisher synopsis
Sadie Sawyer wants to learn how to blow a guy.
She’s my sister’s best friend.
The girl I’ve known since grade school.
The girl I’ve always considered off-limits.
She’s the girl that crawled under a table in a bar one night and changed everything between us. Now the brain in my pants is more than willing to step up. The rules are simple.
No kissing.
No screwing.
No falling in love.
But the more I let her use my body in the name of experimentation, the more I know being friends isn’t enough. Is it too much to want it all with her?
The taste of her lips.
The sweetness of her innocence.
The chance to earn her love.
I might have a real shot with her…if her douchebag ex and my past don’t ruin everything.
