Elizabeth
Slade, a college English instructor, has experienced success as a romance
writer, but she has a dirty little secret: She can’t write sex scenes without a
little help from Ridley, a gorgeous guy who plays her pretend boyfriend and
makes a booty call whenever her imagination is flailing.
She’d like for Ridley to commit to be her permanent and real boyfriend, and she thinks that’s where they’re headed until she finds him getting way too cozy with another woman in a bar.
At that point, she enlists the help of her friend, fellow college instructor Roman Decker, who offers to temporarily take Ridley’s place while she sorts through her emotions. She grows confused when she realizes she’s also attracted to Roman. When Ridley comes back to her on bended knee, does she take the bad boy who broke her heart or try to convince her friend to make a real go of it?

This book is not part of a series.
As always, I loved this story from
Jade C. Jamison. Beth is a fantastic
character. At first I thought she was
pretty slutty, using Ridley for working out her sex scenes, but she thought she
could use sex to gain love… and eventually figured out that it doesn’t work
like that. Roman is there for her. First
he is there as a friend and later as, well, more than a friend. See, that’s the right order.
Ms. Jamison once again provides
balanced parts of steam, sweetness, laughter, and raw emotion. Her references to the time-sucking social
media that plagues all of our current favorite authors had me giggling in
recognition. The characters are all
mature adults leaving the childish stuff out of their relationships, even if
Ridley isn’t the sharpest shovel in the shed.
I could not put this book down until
I had devoured and savored every tasty word.
