I picked this up on a whim and it was a good time. This follows O’Neal Lory who has been sheltered her whole life after losing her mother to the party and college life. She was looked after by her strict grandparents. After a spontaneous moment at 18, she decided to kiss her best friend’s brother Auden. Now at 19, she is at the same college as Auden and ready to finally live her life and make her own decisions…

I listened to this on audio and the narrator Samantha Summers did an amazing job. I love how Auden and Lennox show O’Neal the way these two men make me swoon. The care compassion and understanding of how inexperienced she is gave me butterflies. I just really enjoyed this book. Just a couple of things,
it is told in third person. For me, that isn’t an issue but others may struggle. It is repetitive with O’Neal being inexperienced but I managed to push it aside. Lastly the investigation I thought it would dive into it more but it didn’t. I wanted answers to what happened. But other than that this was a great read and the spice was so good. The praising, commanding and the aftercare stop these men are too good to be true.

When I found out Roni Loren was releasing a book in 2023, I immediately added it to my TBR on Goodreads. Good Girl Fail is one of the most-anticipated January 2023 book releases, and I was excited to get an advance reading copy. It didn’t take me long to dive into this book, especially knowing Roni’s track record of spice in her books. Roni knows how to write Erotic Romance and BDSM in her books with characters that are a mixture of dominating and sometimes even innocent. Good Girl Fail had that perfect mixture to it.

Storyline/My Thoughts: A little bit about the characters in Roni Loren’s standalone New Adult MMF Romance and what I liked about them. The FMC, O’Neal Lory, is the good girl who has been sheltered her whole life, unfortunately, due to her strict grandparents. I immediately liked her character in the beginning because I was proud of her for stepping up for herself and taking charge of her life. She decides to defy her grandparents and go to the college they disapproved of her attending. She took the first step of gaining freedom from the strict life she was forced to live. If it weren’t for her best friend’s brother, Auden, she would have never taken that step.

The MMCs in the story, Auden and Lennox, are roommates and best friends. They are close and know each other’s secrets. Lennox knows the real Auden, and Auden knows Lennox in ways others wouldn’t since they do things together. I loved Auden and Lennox’s friendship and how they knew each other’s ins and outs, especially regarding the bedroom. This book is an MMF standalone romance, which means it will have MF, MM, and MMF scenes between the characters.

Roni Loren knows to write the spice in her books, and she makes sure when it has dominant male characters, she includes communication and consent in the bedroom between all the characters. There is some serious dirty talking and praise in this book. Be prepared to swoon over one male character regarding dirty talk. Holy Moly! I was not expecting it, and neither was O’Neal. One of the characters is a switch, which means dominant and submissive. =)

This book is where the FMC gets taught by the best (in my opinion) what she likes and doesn’t like in life (in and out of the bedroom). She has the perfect teachers, even if one of them is not willing at first. I enjoyed how O’Neal, Auden, and Lennox overcame their obstacles and fit together perfectly. Seriously, Roni Loren, you know how to write characters that are hard to forget. Lennox, though, will be my FAVE from this book. =) You’ll have to read the book to learn more about him since I don’t want to give too much away.

Now, something bothered me, which is why I only gave the book four stars. I know the book was focused on O’Neal, Auden, and Lennox and how their relationship would grow. Readers get all three POVs, which I was glad to be inside all three characters’ heads, and understand why one, in particular, was hesitant about being with another character. My issue was with O’Neal and finding out about what happened to her mother. I wanted to know, like her, what happened. Readers get some of the story of what may have happened but not enough for closure for O’Neal. The epilogue didn’t even touch on it either since the epilogue involved the characters preparing to visit Auden’s family on Holiday. Here’s hoping we get more later; if not, it may be for the best. O’Neal does get some closure on finding out how her mother was when she was her age. Truths are revealed, and that there is what matters.

Standalone or Part of Series: Standalone.

Steam/Spice: 🌶 🌶 🌶

Genre(s)/Trope(s)/Element(s): New Adult & College Romance. MMF Romance. Best friend’s Brother. Childhood Crush. Friends to Lovers. BDSM. Dominant MMCs. Good Girl FMC.

Would I recommend this book? Yes. This book is for you if you enjoy a New Adult/College Romance with MMF.

Favorite Quote(s): She was flipping switches in him left and right. Show me. Touch me. Teach me. I’ll get an A and you can tell me what a good girl I am. The erotic pictures she was painting for him without even knowing it were melting his brain.
