Definitely an intriguing start to an episodic novella series by cheeky BFF’s EM Denning and Kate Hawthorne.

Wealthy traveller meets bartender in a very sexy and hot one-night stand. A battle of control and submission between two guys are going to find it very hard to forget the other and where they both come out winners.

Sometimes an encounter leaves you wanting more, and this will definitely leave you wanting more. Thankfully we’ll be getting 11 more.

This was a quick spicy read! We meet Reese who is a bartender in L.A. and Cory who lives in New York but travels all over. They meet at the bar where Reese works when Cory’s flight is canceled and have instant chemistry. Things are a little different than either of them expected. This was a great beginning to these novelettes and I believe they’re going to be quite enjoyable! Can’t wait for more! This is my honest opinion of this complimentary copy of this book

Hot!!

This is a great short story! There was a connection between the two men that couldn't be denied. Reese is struggling with why he likes to be a called a 'good boy' so much. Cory is quietly loving the struggle within Reese but doesn't make a big deal about it. Their chemistry is off the chart. Hopefully we'll get to see more of them!
