Awww, Peyton and Tristan! Long time besties, each harboring their own love for each other, of course. Then the opportunity happens. Peyton needs to boost business for her lingerie store, leading her to rekindle her blog, also lingerie driven. And she needs a test partner to help out Amy (from Asking for a Friend) test ideas from a new book.

And then it goes from there. And I loved it.

Steamy, Funny, & Perfect

This is a perfect, lighthearted read that I absolutely devoured. I’m a fan of the author, and I automatically preordered this book when I finished Boyfriend Material Book #1, so it was a surprise to find on my Kindle last night.
I love her style of writing. Super steamy, well-written sexy times, all while creating likable characters I want in my friends group! It’s a great read, with just the right dose of tension.

I absolutely LOVED this friends-to-lovers look at how romance scenes are played out in novels!!

Do buttons really ping, ping, ping everywhere when shirts are ripped open?
Is tub sex really possible?
Can you really rip panties off with your teeth?

Peyton and Triston take to the task of answering these questions and more, but they do so with trepidation at first, because hey, they are friends, but the steam they generate....WOW....there is definitely something more there.

This story is so delightful, I'm having a really hard time picking my favorite book boyfriend lately...IKR...soooo hard...Tristan is scrumptious, sweet, and amazing and boy does he bring the lusty steam.

They brought the chemistry and built up the "we really shouldn't" until the tea kettle was absolutely screaming.

This is a perfect combo to go with Amy and Linc's story, but also can be read as a complete standalone too.
