*ARC given by Author in exchanges for an honest review*
One HOT lawyer who is all for denying the attraction Sebastian feels for Penny. He's been in denial for a very long time. Since he's best friends with her brother, he has to fight the temptation of having her. When the opportunity came crashing down on him, he couldn't say no. Anything just to have her even if it's only for a short time.

Penny is mad about the reputation of being a good girl. She wants to make it her mission to go after Sebastian. Who is by the way, her brothers best friend. She's been crazy about Sebastian for as long as she can remember. It's time she makes a move and she will stop at nothing until she feels him inside her. But it's really more that what it seems.

When they finally gave in to this magnetic pull that's full of lust, crazy attraction and maybe, just maybe, a chance at love. Who knows? What will it take for the attraction to finally come out of its closet? How long will they fight the attraction and a possibility of a future together? The promised Sebastian made with Penny...is two weeks long enough to satisfy the hunger that's been building inside him?
This was a short read and well worth my time. I loved it because of how real the story line was and how hot and steamy Penny and Sebastian were Loved, loved, loved it because I'm a sucker for HEA. I can't wait to read more of JOYA RYAN's books.

☆☆☆☆ 4 Stars ☆☆☆☆
The life of an innocent girl next door trying to break out of her comfort zone and wants to live life.
Penelope always had her eyes on her brother Ryder’s best friend BASS. She had always known that Bass had a thing about 2 weeks relationship. That he would never be with anyone longer than that 14 days, but for some reason she still wanted him. He had always been kind to her and she trusted him.
Wanting to shed her innocent image and wanting more experience, she thought Bass was the best candidate. He can teach her everything, which in return will help with her confidence. So she went after what she wanted and told Bass all about it. She offered herself to him for 2 weeks, he turned her down at first. Until he realized that it was either him or some other guy. So he accepted the offer, but added that everything have to be a secret to keep everything from Penelope’s brother Ryder.
Once their affair started, things were hot and heavy. Ryder thought that the harder he pushed, the faster he would push Penelope away. Penelope surprised Ryder by taking everything he was dishing out, she wasn't backing down at all. She enjoyed everything he was giving her and teaching her. Then feelings started getting in the way, even Ryder had a hard time turning off his own feelings. His number one rule is for feelings, not to get in the way, the two week affair is all about pleasure and nothing more. While Penelope pushes for what she wants, hoping that their 2 weeks love affair will become permanent..Ryder tries to get a hold of his feelings. As Ryder spends his day thinking about Penelope and how much he can't handle seeing her with anyone else. While Ryder lives with in denial of how he feels about Penelope, Penelope is thinking of ways to make this permanent. She wasn't giving him up without a fight.
What will happen to do these two?
Will Penelope convince Ryder that what they have is so much more than sex?
Or will Ryder deny his own heart, thinking it's for the best.
This is a short and enjoyable read. I enjoyed reading how Penelope becomes a woman and Ryder becoming a real man. When these two finally figured out what they wanted, it was nothing but sweet.
