One of my favorite romance trope has always been best friends to lovers and I have always been a sucker when it comes to this specific trope. And Candy Sloane has delivered. She has more than delivered because she has written a love story that truly captures the essence of this specific genre. Ms. Sloane has layered her story, Best Friends With Benefits with heart, raw emotions and of course a plethora of hot steamy dirty sex!!!!!
“She was his Val, but she was also her own woman. A woman if he’d met in a bar now, he would have made sure they ended the night wet and naked and fucking.”Right off the opening pages, I was hooked. Ms Sloane did an amazing job introducing her raw characters in Best Friends With Benefits. In this sweet, sexy, and dirty love story, readers are introduced to two best friends, who will soon discover a new uncharted territory of their friendship. Lines will be crossed and blurred when sex and emotional feelings are involved. For Valerie Barkin and Alec Roger, their fourteen year friendship meant the world to them. It was always Val and Alec. They were inseparable and knew every facet of their lives. They were each other's shoulders to lean on. The good, the bad, and the ugly were experienced together. And so when Alec drags Val to attend their high school reunion, their friendship got a little more complicated when they were forced to play a game with their old high school friends. And this game changed everything when a hot steamy kiss was involved.
Valerie Barkin knew her best friend was hot and loved by the public since he was a member of the hottest rock band. Val loved Alec but she knew of his rockstar playboy ways. She knew he didn't believe in commitment and marriage and so Val never thought she could change his views. Alec loved Valerie. She was the girl who truly understood and loved him. And so when they were reunited, Alec began to look at his Val differently especially when they finally shared one passionate kiss.
“She had ruined him, by saving him. But he couldn’t let her know it. He would try to follow her rules even if it killed him.”That one kiss set precedent to a weekend of hot, steamy, passionate sex. Val made rules to their weekend of sex with no strings attached. No feeling would get involved. Just a weekend of sex and then they will go back to being best friends. Well, the rules went out the window when deep emotional feelings begin to emerge. Val wants Alec but will she be enough for this rockstar who plans to never settle down. So will Val be able to change Alec's mind when it comes to marriage and commitment? Or will this weekend be a realization that they are better off as best friends than lovers?
“In some ways it was what he wanted. To kiss every uncharted inch of her, take his time with her pleasure rather than fuck her hard and fast, but he knew how dangerous that was. If he felt like this after one kiss, how would he feel after making love to her? And fuck, God help him, he wanted to.”Best Friends With Benefits was a fun, sexy, sweet, and steamy read!!!! I love getting lost in a story as two people discover the truth. And for Val and Alec, the truth is that they are more than just best friends. They are two people who have experienced every ups and downs together. They make each other smile and are part of each other's mind, heart, and soul. Their friendship and love is what makes Alec and Val. They are each other's biggest cheerleader and supporter. And so if you are looking for a friends to lover story that is hot, sexy, and emotional then this book is for you.
