3.37★★★Fall Into Love by Selena Akeroyd (Naughty Nookie Simone Part 1)

I was given this R2R in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is an erotica short coming in around 60 pages.

This was an interesting little story. Girl meets boy, they have killer sex, and end the 4 year sexual drought.

The first 30 pages were a bit slow, but the sexual tension was there. You could feel it in the air. The next 25 pages was straight hot, sweaty, exhausting sex.

And then, the cliffhanger. I was just as blind sided as the female character. That came totally out of left field. I have no idea where it is going, but very curious as to how it will play out.

Now, while I really did like the idea of the story, I had a few problems.

*needs a lot of editing(typos, missing words, odd and random abbr.)

*there were quite a few words I had to look up, either from never hearing them or seeing them before or not knowing if they were typos

*some word choices were rather odd, almost like the strangest synonym available was chosen

*the language was all wrong, which made relating with the character hard at times
-setting NYC
-Mona, southern bell from GA, living in NYC
-Zane, strong southern drawl, chivalrous, ex-Marine
-Southern Bells, New Yorkers, and Americans in general do not think or speak this way. I know, everyone keeps saying Chantelle English is English, well no it's not. English in America may have the say words as English in Europe, but a lot have very different meanings. I'll give you an example. "I'm not that flush in the pocket" this makes little to no sense to Americans, and a New Yorker and/or a southern bell would never say this. The only reason I know it means "I'm not rich enough" is because the next part is "that I could take off a few days with a back injury!"
-a true southern bell/gentleman(especially since he has military background) says Ma'am all day long, it is ingrained in them. He would never just say "Are you ok?" it would be "Are you ok, Ma'am?" or if she asked "Can I buy you a drink?" his answer would be "No Ma'am, that isn't necessary." and not just "That isn't necessary." That would be considered disrespectful.

So enough of my language ranting, you get my point.

Thanks to the author for for that crazy little twist, I didn't expect that.

Fall into Love is self published erotic romance short story written by Serena Akeroyd. This a part of "The Naughty Nookie" series- a name that had me snickering. Funny.
This is a really short story, but it's purpose to set the stage for the next book in the series. Simone is divorced and has put her love life on a backburner. She is out with her two fashion plate friends that are scolding her for not taking more chances, when she is rescued from a nasty fall by a really good looking guy. Simone decides that her friends may be right and decided to take a chance with this guy.

After a steamy night together Simone learns a shocking secret.
The shocking revelation in the end leaves the prospect of a future encounter with Zane up in the air.
This first story in the series is steamy, but not anything a romance novel reader hasn't encountered in a standard romance novel. However, the twist at the end sets Simone up for what will most certainly take the reader into an erotic foray far more controversial than anything that took place here. So, if erotica is something you enjoy, you will want to check out this new series.

As for my own personal taste, I really liked this one, and would continue with the series if there was some sort of a promise of a more traditional romance coming in the future. However, I'm not a big reader of erotica, and I can tell that the future installments would be outside my comfort zone.
But, that's just me and my own personal taste. Don't let that discourage you, by any means. Check this one out and see for yourself.
I recommend this one for those who enjoy erotica and short stories. I have nothing to critique as far as the writing goes. The author did a great job of setting up the series.
Overall I will give this one a B.

WHEN LUST LIGHTNING STRIKES FOR LUCKY MS AVERAGE

I've read a few erotic novellas recently. There are plenty to choose from in what a weary publisher might call, 'this crowded and competitive market place'.

So when I came to read FALL INTO LOVE I was a jaded reader. This is because I am sated by erotic writing, much of which -- with a few notable exceptions -- is formulaic, and by the tidal wave of erotic imagery around us. My brain is dulled by what I have already read and seen.

So it will something special to win my approval.

FALL INTO LOVE is special. Why? Not because of the sex but because of the expertly drawn character of Simone, a woman on the loose in NY but who is spectacularly so not up for it she can't wait for her evening clubbing to draw to a close so she can go home. She pays lip service to sex to please her friends.

Simone has not has sex for four years after being totally turned off by her ex-husband. A fact which will have many a reader nodding, 'yep, that's me.'

Simone's girlfriends do their best to get her laid again, but she is just not up for it.

I enjoyed how unfashionably sexless she was. There was an intelligence about her resingnation. We sense she could easily see her 4 years of celibacy stretch into 40, thus sparing herself all manner of nuisance.

But then she falls from her bar stool .. aggggggg! .. right into strong arms of Zane .. ahhhhhh!

And so it begins.

The first third of so of FALL INTO LOVE expertly details all the little stages of Simone's slow but steady awakening to the possibilities facing her. She dares to dream the dream of unbridled nookie. And because she is so used to nothing good happening, she has nothing to lose and so risks all. And, to her surprise, Zane the Hunk of fine American muscle and sinew, obliges her in every detail.

Zane The Grim is brilliantly drawn. I'd best not give too much away, but here is one dab of Zane: 'The rippling melody of his voice is raked with gravel..' Marvellous stuff. The story almost blinks at itself in some odd way.

And it takes its time. A less cunning author might have unleashed her sex card much earlier and more than once. Not so the author of FALL INTO LOVE. She holds back. She builds. A little detail here. A mood shift there. All very experctly done. The slow ride in the life back to Zanes luxury suite.

And then the sex. There is a delibearte gear shift just after half way when the story comes out of the blocks like a thoroughbred stallion on Derby Day. The sex is at intense as the build up to it is studied. The philosophy of pleasure hovers in the background, too. It is all very intelligent.

So far, so enjoyable. It gets better. FALL INTO LOVE totally won my eyes and bossed my curiosity. I like to think I am a cunning reader, but even I was caught out by the ending, not so much the manner of the twist but by Simone's state of mind at the very end after her intense sexual adventure. You will have to read the story to see if you agree with me.

So the strength of the story for me was not about the raw and intense sex, which I enjoyed because of the confidence and joy it conveyed, but more about the character of Simone and her relationship with said sex and of its impact on her emotional and spiritual estate.

The way we consume sex these days in literature or on the internet is often lopsided. The focus is on the act, or images of the act. But mostly we never actually know what the people are feeling, their deeper responsess, the broader context of their lives.

Simone felt like a fairly normal person who suddenly found herself in a maelstrom of the hottest imaginable sex with an impossibly hunky hunk of well-oiled and up-for-it sex machine.

The genius of all this is that Simone is a very average woman in looks and expectations, maybe even a little drab and dour. She is everywoman in some ways. A female reader could quietly identify with her, or feel pity for her and think herself better off than Simone the innocent. I can't believe many female readers would not secretly fancy a round or two with Zane The Huge.

I know the author has another couple of stories up her sleeve. I for one will read them to see if she can pull it off again with such story-telling skill.

They say most men live lives of quiet desperation. Imagine being a woman married to a couch potato who is as ignorant as he dismissive of your needs, as oblivious as he is indignant towards your desires, and as worthless as he is unwilling to change. And now add to that a prudeness inversely proportional to his less-than-adequate family jewels. And that you haven't had an orgasm in -oh, never?
Don't talk to me of quiet desperation.

Mona isn't anything special. She is a cleaner with a spoon-dull life, no real interests, and no seemingly redeeming qualities, not smarts-wise or appearance wise. She does have a big heart though, one she has kept at bay for too long after her divorce, one whose needs she has been meticulously ignoring for the past 4 years. Until her best friends dress her up, polish her up, and take her with them clubbing.

Enter Zane. He is more than she could have ever dreamed of a man, and she knows it from the moment he saves her from a broken back and a life of self-imposed celibacy. He is a Man with a capital M, and a package to match his Manliness. From the moment their eyes met, Mona breaks her shell and takes her chances with this God of Sensuality. And he not only takes her up on her offer, he takes her for the ride of her life.

Even if it turns out it was all a lie.

I liked reading this book. It was short but to the point, and I am familiar and comfortable with a first-person narrative. I am not extremely at ease or fond of prolonged internal monologues though; even though the particular ones of this book added to the feel the author wished to convey, there were times where the tone threw me off. Thankfully the sizzling passion between the characters pulled me right back on track.

I admit, there was a point where I could feel the plot twist coming way before it did. I will also gladly admit, it was not the twist I was expecting, so points for that! All in all, for such a short book, it set a strong foundation for the rest of the series.

FALL INTO LOVE:
By Serena Akeroyd

HOT TO TROT.

Every now and then, a girl needs a good dipping, (dance move) what can I say. The author was kind enough to warn me her book was an erotic romance. However, I found the story contained a lot of truths about women— our cravings, and our desperate need to be acknowledged and understood.

Simone Barranquet has just left her grey-skinned, pasty-faced, husband, even though she tried her best to make their marriage work.

While she’s dragged by her best friends, Edwina and Marina to different bars, especially to one where she considers the waiters to be rude, she sits in the background and watches as everyone has a good time. She’s not inclined to step out and take another chance on someone else. She’s shy and slightly introverted and doesn’t understand how her friends can be so shallow at times.

Until she meets a hunky stranger one night, in a bar, one who literally stops her from breaking her neck, and Simone has to overcome some of her anguish about reviving her sexual needs.

I love the introspection Ms. Akeroyd entertains inside her heroine’s mind. Her analysis of the inner workings of the female psyche is dead on … so is all the pleasure we can derive from being women!
A great read. Would have loved for the story to go on. Will read this author again.

Fall Into Love is a hot, steamy tale of a woman (Mona) who has a one night stand with a sexy hunk (Zane) who saves her from falling off a barstool. This is part 1 of 4.

Fall Into Love has all the required components for an erotic winner. There's hot sex. There's a man who takes care of the woman he's stolen away from a bar. He's a gentleman. Even with the hot sex. But Zane has a secret and it is this secret that ends the book on a bombshell for Mona.

Fall Into Love is very well written. The author has a talent for description. We spend the entire book in Mona's head, but the running dialog she has with herself is real and honest and not over the top.

I'm really curious to see where the other parts of this story go. And here's the brilliance of the book. Right now, I'm sitting here envisioning at least four or five possible outcomes for Mona and Zane. Some of those outcomes worry me. I fear that I'll be unhappy with how the story ends. But however it ends, I will read it because now I'm invested in both of these characters. I want to know how Mona deals with her conflicted feelings. I want to know why Zane did what he did. I want to know about his reactions to the questions she's sure to have.

This story might be controversial. The actions the characters take might be vilified or justified. But whatever happens, I believe it will be a wild ride.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Quick, entertaining read about divorced Simone and the possible end to her four-year long celibacy, after she's saved from falling off a bar stool while at a night club with her best friends. The hero of the night is Zane Matthews, former US Marine-turned author, who is in New York on a working vacation. They hit it off and after grabbing a quick bite to eat, they end up back at his hotel where they do a helluva lot more than trade winning pecan pie recipes. The big (and I mean it's a shocker) cliffhanger is probably the last thing you'd expect, but it does set up nicely for the next installment in the series.

I liked the way Simone was written, she feels she's not quite as beautiful as her BFFs, but also knows she's no slouch either. She's not that experienced when it comes to sex (with her religious upbringing and d-bag ex-husband), but the fact that Zane was so into her gave her the confidence to at least try certain acts she'd never done before.

A good story, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of Mona's story to see how it all plays out.

I received this book by the author for an honest opinion.

Simone, is a divorced twenty nine year old women. after four years she still has no love life to speak of. After being dragged to yet another club by her to best friends (Edwina and Marina) She meets Zane, a former Marine and well known author, well he kind of saves her from her fall from a bar stool. The sparks fly and for the first time in four years she is thinking sex. After a night of hot sex and I mean hot Simone sneaks off to home. Curious to what genre of books Zane writes she searches the internet and what she comes across is a heart-stopping OMG moment.

For being a short story the character development is great. The dialogue is witty and there are many laugh at loud moments. The moment hat the end of the book completely blind sided me. I really didn't see it coming. It really throws a twist into the book and since this the first part of a four book series I have to wonder if it is going to go where I think. It sure leaves room for some wild imagination.

Great read for lovers of erotica A definite read.

This new author is a local lass to me and I gave her a go after finding out about her on Facebook. All I can say is I'm glad I did.

Didn't expect much, to be honest. Never read a lot of self-published stuff but Fall Into Love just clicked. I'm a slow reader but read this short book in no time at all and I was thrilled when the writer released part two this weekend. Already devoured that as well.

Simone is an average woman and I liked her for that. She has hopes and dreams; gets bored and is in the doldrums at the moment. Until she meets Zane, your average romance hunk but with a slight difference. Yes, he's tormented and yes, he's got a past and I won't spoil the ending, but what a cliffhanger!

Definite 5 star read. Hot sex, made this old girl flush a few times and characters that you can easily like. Good quality narration, no mistakes that I could see or typos. All round well-written work. Couldn't ask for much more to be honest!

This is not so much book one in a series, although it really is, as an introduction to the series.

The story starts with Simone, also known as Mona, who is recently divorced and is feeling down and worthless, being taken to a club by her best girlfriends with a view to meeting a sexy man. That's exactly what happens. He is a hunky, retired, marine commando called Zane, who has become a bestselling author.

They conclude the evening with the hottest sex of Mona's life.

However, when Zane has left and Mona starts to research his background, she discovers the shocking truth.

That is where the first episode ends. The question is, will Mona see Zane again? I think that, as we all know this is the first in a series, there isn't a single one of us who can't work out the answer to that particular question.

As Serena Akeroyd intended, I cannot wait to read number two in the Naughty Nookie series!

This being the authors first book, I must say Congratulations! Simone has been divorced for four years, her two friends Marina and Edwina decide it's time for her to get out and meet someone and get laid. They dress her up in her best silk dress and bring her to a club. Simone was never one for bars or clubs, she doesn't like the atmosphere at all. She's in one of her moods and in a haste to remove herself from a stool she falls backwards and just before she reaches the floor a man grips her and pulls her up. Zane is one handsome man,Simone doesn't believe what she does next, she asks Zane if she can buy him a drink for his help. Her friends are all excited for her and give her a thumbs up when they go out on the garden behind the club. Download this book to read what does or doesn't become of Zane and Simone. Erotica with a great story, go ahead hit that button.

There are lots of romantic stories out there and I never tire reading any of them. This sexually charged one is nicely written with a little twist in, which has left me eager to start part two. Slow start but it's refreshing and realistic. A normal looking woman with normal insecurities. Mona enjoys a night out with friends, after a near accident, luckily being saved by Zane a very charming guy. Thanking her would-be saviour she decides to ask if he would like something to eat. A late night snack with 'hottie' Zane, leads to an eventful evening for Mona.(Wags eyebrows) Superb read. Funny, sexy, exciting. Naughty Nookie, indeed!

NEVER TOO OLD TO READ A RAUNCHY BOOK LIKE THIS ONE! (Wasn't always this old.)

I liked the cover of this book and that is what guided me to reading the synopsis, and after reading I just had to give it a go.

The book is well written, the story is superb and the sex is very steamy! One thing I like about a book is when it draws you into the story, and Fall into Love, does just that.

The ending leaves you wanting more, and that is what reading is all about, excitement, the thrill.

Looking forward to reading more in this series. One of the first ebooks I've ever read and certainly not disappointed! First ever review on here too. A day for milestones.

This series is HOT! Everything about this series is so original. I loved that the names, relationships, circumstances, and the writing was so different. I had chills the whole time I was reading, just waiting to see what was coming next! The characters grip you and take you for one hell of a ride. Serena Akeroyd is now one of my most recommended authors, and the Naughty Nookie Series is a fantastic, edge of your seat, love triangle, author, detective, cleaning lady, naughty novella! Must read for 2014!

Complimentary copy provided by author in exchange for honest review.

This is Part 1 of a 4 part series. For a short story the characters were well developed and you got to know them. It starts off with Mona who is divorced and has not love in her life. She meets Zane at a club one night and they have a great connections. He has a secret that she soon discovers and it was a secret that I did not expect. This story packs many twists and turns along with some steamy sex in a short story.

This is a short bout of smut, and i was perfectly happy to accept that, its a case of instalust, and well, it goes from there. We dont learn much about the characters, but what we learn is what they indulge in was needed. The ending left me a bit like woah - what has happened here...come on part 2 i need to accept you into my life, like...now!

STACI T'S REVIEW

4.0 ON THE MASQ SCALE


FALL INTO LOVE is a short erotic chick-lit novella by Serena Akeroyd. I read this story because it promised a story of passion that had a plot (yes, that’s right—erotica with a plot). And it delivered both. While the beginning may have started a little slow, the story as a whole was well-written (with the exception of the use of the word “suckle” which evokes in many readers the image of a baby-mother relationship, and therefore is inappropriate in romance and erotica), and the twist at the end promises an even steamier book two.

FALL INTO LOVE begins with Mona lamenting her four-year bout of abstinence, caused by her divorce of the world’s most worthless husband. While she’s clubbing with her two best friends, she finally finds the cure to her condition. He’s everything she’s been looking for—and then some. They exchange small talk and a meal, and he’s forthcoming about everything except his career. Unconcerned, she accompanies him to his hotel for a night she’ll never forget. She sneaks out in the morning, leaving her card behind, effectively making the next move his. And when she researches him online, she’s horrified at what she discovers.

FALL INTO LOVE ends with an enticing cliffhanger into book two, CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LUST, in Akeroyd’s NAUGHTY NOOKIE series. As far as erotica goes, this story is pretty tame. And is a very short read. As long as you don’t mind stories whose endings are up in the air, this is an erotic story you should add to your list.

POSTED BY REVIEWER


LUCY P.'S REVIEW

1.0 ON THE MASQ SCALE


Let me start by saying I love a well written piece of ChickLit/erotica. However, the author of this piece tried to achieve this by writing in first person POV. A POV which is difficult enough without a main character that spends the most part of it whining about stuff. If you then throw in the fact that the mc goes around repeating herself and telling us how she feels all the time, it makes for a tiresome read. Like I said, the main character tells us a lot, where the author could have taken me into her head and make me experience the story through her eyes. Instead there’s filter upon filter, and then there’s the overly long sentences. I would almost say run-on sentences counterbalanced by fragmented sentences, neither a thing that makes for an easy read. To distract even more from the story, there’s numerous inconsistencies and holes, which the author when she probably realised them tried to plug, instead of going back and fix them where they are created. (I hate spoilers, but let me give one example.) When they finally have their bodily encounter, nowhere there’s a mention of applying a condom, yet when finished “his condom is filled with his cum.” I mean, you have to put one on to be able to fill it with your cum, right?

"Especially in chicklit/erotica I want the emotions and sexual tension bursting off the pages and experience them with the characters, but in this case it was a case of “yeah, yeah, I know, said and repeated, move on please.” But when she finally moves on, it’s not very tantalising, but rather …. Well, told in a way that didn’t allow for me to be there with the characters. Looking in from the outside isn’t a thing I like when reading chicklit/erotica.

And to make things even worse it all ends in “To be Continued.” There is no end to this book! If there’s anything I hate it is struggling through 49 pages of whining to discover that if I want to know what happens to the girl I have to spend another £2.35 (to buy book two and three) to find out. Why not put it all in one book I wonder?

Maybe I’m an odd ball, or too nit-picky, because this book has a few reviews from people who seem to disagree with me, but seeing as this is my opinion, I would not recommend it, and say it needs work to become what it could have been.


BELINDA' S REVIEW

4.0 ON THE MASQ SCALE


Simone or Mona to her friends is in a rut. She's divorced and hasn't had any luck on the man front for some time. Dragged out for a night of clubbing by her two gorgeous best friends she isn't enjoying herself and just wishes she had stayed at home - enter Zane and all that changes!

I liked Simone, she is a realistic woman with baggage and issues but she is also feisty. I love that despite comparing herself poorly to her two best friends she still knows that she is no ugly sister and describes herself as a sleeping beauty but one who will not need a man to sort her life out for her - good on her!

I was asked to review Fall Into Love as a Chick Lit book - I don't really think it fits into that genre, let's be honest it's maybe romance certainly erotica. This, the first in the Naughty Nookie series, is really a short story, a set up scene for the rest of the series. It's so short that it takes place over 24 hours and is dominated by the night of passion Simone and Zane share. It was never dull however and the twist at the end of the story really sets up the series and leaves you looking for more.

I'm not a big reader of erotica but I did enjoy this. I didn't expect to be interested in the rest of the series but Serena AKeroyd sets up the end of the novel so well with such an interesting turn of events that I might just find myself reading on after all!

Over all, I did like the story. It was engaging and easily paced, and a very quick read–not just because it’s also pretty short. It didn’t spend too much time waffling in the story, and the sex scenes (which were really most of the book) were fun, and also funny.

I did find the narrator to go a bit overboard in her personal life diatribes in the first few pages, but not too bad and the snark of the First Person made it tolerable in its amusement factor. But she lost points with me for the Heathcliff references, though I’m apparently one of two people in the world to not read “Wuthering Heights” like a romance and to think Heathcliff was a sadistic, psychotic bastard.

Guess it’s just me…

I liked that both characters were southerners transplanted to the north and it made for some further amusement, and then we zipped through the next few pages and I enjoyed them.

At the end, however, I almost got turned off the story by her reaction to the…”revelation,” we’ll call it. Not that it wasn’t justified–he should’ve told her–but…I don’t know. Something about her bugged me. Maybe her utter refusal to the idea of there being an explanation; an alternative lifestyle. But still, I’ll keep the open mind cause it would be a shock and he should’ve been honest.

I’ll admit that I cheated and read the book blurbs of the next three parts in this four part series. If it ends up (ultimately) where it looks like the author intends it to, and the author doesn’t annoy me in how she presents it, I think I’ll enjoy the next three parts…as long as Mona doesn’t irritate me again…

Still, despite my little gripes with the narrator, I enjoyed the story and may well read the rest of the series down the road. 4 stars.

I was given the opportunity to read/review this book via the author, and hot damn it is awesome, add it to your TBR lists now.

Simone or Mona to her besties, had been given a raw hand in the men department, her husband treated her like a stepford wife, and he only thought of himself when it came to the bedroom, she hadn't even had the experience of ever having an orgasm, go figure.

After divorcing him it took 4 years for her to cleanse her soul and to want to get back on the horse so to speak, and then on a one night encounter she got to meet Zane

He was everything she wanted in a man and more,

4 TIMES IN ONE NIGHT, PHEW


and boy did he have more,

He declared he was a famous well known author and yet Mona had never heard of him, and she loved to read, she collected I should say Inhaled all novels.

He rocked my world and my socks off, LOL and I came away from there quite satisfied that I had had many first's, many-many firsts.

After leaving him sleeping so soundly the next morning, I slipped my card on his nightstand so he could call me,and I knew I would never forget that night as it was ORGASMIC

I raced home so I could google him so I could find out just how famous an author he really was, and that is when I found out.

%$#^%$@&$%#&$^%$@^$%@%

Stay Tuned for book 2

5 stars from me.

Oh, lord, here's another one that has me torn! First, I have to say that I totally did not see the ending coming. I thought of everything BUT that! And for that reason I feel compelled to read the next installment. What makes me reluctant, however, is that I don't know if I can take much more of Mona's incessant, rambling thoughts! Man, that drove me crazy to the point that I skimmed through some parts because I didn't want to read any more comparisons of her to her friends. I didn't want any more drifts down memory lane as Mona recalled things about her ex-husband, her parents, and yet again her friends. I felt bombarded with information that I honestly didn't feel had anything to do with what was happening in the story. Lastly, there is such a thing as too many details--at least for me. Taste, textures, and smells being described during sex scenes always turn me off. I guess I don't get why it's necessary. Most people know fluids leak from our bodies during sex so having a hot moment interrupted to tell me something stinks or that a string of saliva is stretching from a dude's cock and a woman's mouth kills it! That's just my personal issue and I know it doesn't bother everybody. These were the things that left me feeling torn as to whether I liked it or not. The fact that I feel the need to move on to part two clearly suggest that I liked more than I disliked.

I received a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This erotic short is the first in a series, that might should be an entire book instead of 60 pages here and there. However, I haven't finished them all so I will say no more about that. It is short, a taste of things to come maybe.

Fall Into Love starts out slow. Simone is cynical about love as she is trying to get past a divorce. She meets Zane and after a HOT one night stand thing take a twist that definitely is not forseen leaving us with quite a cliffhanger. Simone is one who is living in the past and we hear way too much about her ex for my liking. I want to go forward, live in the here and now. The language is also not what you would expect from southerners transplanted to NYC. We ain't so proper down here.

Overall, its not a bad read and hopefully a good start to this series. The next installments will stand on their own merits and we shall see what cums.... comes.

I really enjoyed this story, Mona meets Zane when he catches her and keeps her from falling on her butt in front of a whole club. That quickly turns into a HOT and STEAMY one night stand. Even though they just met at a club Mona is drawn to Zane and his Louisiana charm...not to mention his hot body and brooding self. Drawn enough to him to break her 4 year celibacy track. The fact that they have a EPIC one night stand and she prays he calls her to make it more then that only to find out he has a BIG secret was CRAZY!!

All in all it was a quick read not only because I was so stuck on this but book also because it is quite a short story but by the time it ends you cant wait to find out what happens next you just have to start the next book!
