Alright Mr. Delivery man.. Dante was slanging more than packages. And he’s a boss. Ari was a little feisty, as well. I read this entirely too quick. Lol.

🎶Special Delivery🎶 *Harlem Shake* Ayeeeeeeeee!! This novella started out strong with a cute lil vibe! Danté might’ve only been 23 but he was doing the damn thang running his own delivery📦 🚚 company! UPS who?! FedEx where?! Nah call up Danté and he will have them packages to you!! He had the delivery game on lock in Crescent Falls. Yasssssssss we LOVE to see young black men winning and he definitely was! With the business being his main focus, he didn’t have time for relationships so when he felt like sliding in something wet and warm TopPick was his top choice……That was until a delivery put him in the path of Ari!

Everything about this young beauty captivated him and he knew he had to have her even if it was just on some casual ish!! Chyyyyyyy Danté was delivering packages by day and delivering dîck at night and Ari’s hot asś was ready to receive!!

While I absolutely loved the concept of this storyline, it fell flat with execution. Even though this was casual sex I still want to feel a connection between the characters. Malik’s storyline was unnecessary and added nothing to the overall book. I would’ve like to see more of that time devoted to the main characters. It was already a short novella so adding him in took away from Ari and Danté. Also while the sex was nasty it wasn’t passionate nor convincing! Love doesn’t have to be attached but the chemistry is a must whether it’s fkn or love making and that was missing for me.

Welp that’s my 2 cents nobody asked for….. til next time 😊

Dante pays his employees starting out $17 an hour $22 if they have experience. I know this because it was mentioned several times.

Even though this is a short story, I feel like it was too long.

I loved the first part with these two. They had an attraction, and hooked up, but it should have just ended there. Instead, there were several pages of filler info. And then they hooked up again, claiming they were just going to be friends with benefits.

But I feel like based on the filler info I don't believe it. And seeing how this series is supposed to be about casual encounters, I just felt like the author did too much.

Spice was good, the characters were likeable, I just don't care about chick going to the club in her work uniform, and Malik's sick mom. Also, I knew the moment she said dude was 23 that this wasn't for me. The fact that our FMC had to go back and forth with her mama about being out all night was cringe for me.

Again, for a short story I felt like the author did too much.

Heyyyy Mr. Postman 📦🍆💦

I liked the idea of this story. A sexy man delivering packages by day and delivering D by night and a pretty feisty young woman hot and ready like little caesars wanting all the smoke lol. The sexual chemistry was there but the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️ was ok. I felt like it was missing something. It’s a novella it’s suppose to be quick and to the point but it felt alil rushed to the point that I kinda disconnected at some point. It’s not a bad read and it definitely had potential.

Enjoyed this short

Dante doesn't usually run the delivery routes but being short staffed leads him in direct contact with Ari. After seeing her twice in one day Dante makes his more and Ari cant refuse. I like Dante and Ari together and would like to read more about them. They gave me couple vibes but I like how their story ended being f… buddies. They were hot in bedroom so if ever Nella gives us more of them I’m sure it will be steamy.

The sexual chemistry between Dante and Ari was off the charts! 🥵

Ari: “Hold on, Dante, give me a second to reposition myself…”

Dante: “Thought you said you weren’t going to run, Ari.”

Ari: “I’m not running, but I’m sure you’re hitting something inside of me that isn’t supposed to be tooucheeedd.”

Dante: “Take this dick, ma. Don’t worry, the release you’re going to feel at the end is going to be worth it. I promise.”

Ok this was my favorite so far

I really liked this story but like the others it leaves you wanting more. But this one felt satisfying because even wanting more it felt li,e a complete story that could develop into more. I don’t think I’ve ever read any of this authors books but I’m definitely going to go looking to see what else she has out there. On to book 5

I see both of them falling for each other even though one is running successfully delivering trucking services.. And other works pizza spot but I think because of her past relationships she doesn't want put herself back out there But sexual chemistry it off the chain

Full Service, Man

Well, well, well …”how may we/I (semantics) serve you?” 😮‍💨🤭😲🤷🏾‍♀️ Just ask “Dante & Ari (This Ain’t Love - Book 4”. Packages & Pizza special delivery with side order of 😱…unlimited (his words not mine 🤷🏾‍♀️‼️). This novella takes “full service, man” to a whole new level 😅‼️

Wasn’t a fan. It just seemed too unrealistic. I’m thinking this series might not be for me because I don’t understand the concept of “casual sex” with strangers lol🤷🏽‍♀️. You know when you used to watch hbo porn back in the day & it always started with some corny ass story line? Yeah well that’s how I feel about eroticas🤷🏽‍♀️

Great Read

Dante making deliveries turned into so much more. Meeting Ari while driving one of his routes was the highlight of his day. Their attraction to one another was insane. They made their intentions known and became instantly hooked. This was a good read.

Dante & Ari.

This one actually had a little plot that I enjoyed. Hottttt 😌
I’m almost wishing they had more story to it but I get it — this ain’t love so no need for all that.

Rating: 4⭐️ | 2.5🌶️

I loved every bit of this short story. I loved Dante and Ari. Loved her boldness from the beginning and loved how Dante follows suit and shows her what he was about.

Famous last words 😉

Dante & Ari certainly have the makings of something good.

Who knows what the future holds? Right now, they are just what the other needs ... convenience and an escape 🤷🏾‍♀️.
