4.5 hot and hilarious stars
I was looking for something funny, romantic, smutty, and with great banter, and this was absolutely perfect! It’s only short, but it has the trademark Tiffany Reisz feel – the story is fast paced, the writing is clean and tight, and it’s so incredibly witty. It’s sexy dirty with unapologetically highly-sexed characters, and fantastic dynamics. And it’s absolutely freaking hilarious! I could not stop laughing, and was highlighting like crazy, so sorry, but I’m not sorry for being a total quote whore.
Beatriz is a sex blogger. She has been tasked with reviewing a new sex manual, and what better way to review a sex manual then to test it out – thoroughly! She is heading off to her sister’s wedding for a week, and decides that she’ll find a willing volunteer while she is away. And who should be staying in the same hotel as her as part of the bridal party, but the one that got away!
Ben was in college with Beatriz. They never hooked up, but there was electric chemistry between them from the moment they met. They haven’t seen each other for five years but Ben has never gotten over Bea, and when she asks if he’d be willing to ‘assist’ her with her research throughout the week, there is no way he can refuse.
“There are twenty-five positions in the book. We just need to try out about five of them to give a fair review.”
“Five?” Ben tried to mask his disappointment. As turned on as he was he could have tried out five tonight alone.
“Maybe more if we have time. I know you’re busy this week. I don’t want to impose on your cock.”
“Impose on it. Please.”
“Should we get started?”
“I will literally, actually, in reality die if we don’t.”
It’s quickly into the action (lots, and lots of ‘action’), and from the get-go they are outrageously open about everything that is going on between them. The matter of fact way they talk about sex had me laughing out loud.
“You can either hold me up by my ass or we can put pillows under my hips to raise them.”
“Let’s go for the pillows.”
“You think I’m too heavy to lift?” she asked with a wicked gleam in her eyes.
“No, I just want my hands free to play with your boobs.”
“Good point. This position is supposed to help the man ‘give the clit the attention it deserves’. That’s me quoting the book, by the way.”
“I like this book. It’s nice and friendly and tells me to touch your clit. I appreciate that.”
“So does my clit. Ready?”
Ben glanced down. He was more than ready.
“God, yes.”
“Alright,” Beatriz said. “Let’s do it.”
Being so intimate for the first time brings all of the old feelings between them roaring back to the surface (not that they were ever really buried to begin with), and soon the research isn’t just research anymore.
“I’ll see you at the lunch.”
“We can go in together,” he offered. “You know, like a date.”
“A date? Us? Together?”
“Is that weird?”
“Incredibly,” she said, but he saw the twinkle of amusement in her eyes.
“So no?” Ben asked.
“We’re not dating. We’re not a couple. I don’t want people to think something’s going on that isn’t,” she said.
Ben stared at her.
“I just came in your mouth.”
Beatriz glared at him.
“Okay, good point,” she said, smiling. “Lunch it is then.”
It’s hot as hell and shockingly funny with some sweet moments as well. And at the end of the week, will they be able to let each other go…?
Bea and Ben are fantastic characters! Both of them are confident, intelligent, outspoken, sexy, and incredibly witty! The dialogue between them was cracking, as was pretty much every conversation they had with others throughout the story (Keaton the bellhop is a riot!). The story is written in dual POV, which I loved, and Ben’s inner monologue, in particular, is sensational.
He usually never ate this much, but he figured he’d lost about two pounds in semen in the past twenty-four hours.
Chapter six on woman-on-top positions was my favourite. Because boobs.
And Claudia and Henry (the bride and groom) are just as entertaining as they scheme to bring Bea and Ben together, and add a little something extra to the story.
“Go talk to Ben.”
“Can I fuck my bride-to-be first please?”
“No. Ben first. Then me.”
“I have to fuck Ben first? Good thing he’s pretty.”
I absolutely loved this little story! It’s short, it’s fun, it’s angst-free and super-dirty and I finished it with a huge grin on my face. Tiffany Reisz proves, once again, that she is superb at what she does.
4.5 stars.
