Resumen del Editor

With his tight muscles and vibrant ink, certified bachelor Reece Walker is the kind of man who’s used to having any woman he craves in his bed - except Jenna Montgomery. She’s been his best friend for years, and that’s a line he just can’t cross.

Until a wild, stolen kiss changes everything. Now anything goes, and Reece is determined to use every wicked skill in his sensual repertoire to claim Jenna as his friend, his lover, his everything.

Good listen!

I enjoyed this and Noah Michael Levine was fantastic doing the narration! It was emotional.

Reece (Mr January) & Jenna

▪▪▪Review contains spoilers▪▪▪

Audible Escapes review. Dual unmarked POV. Man of the Month book 1 of 12. Narrator does an ok job, he vaguely pronounces Brent to the point I thought there were 2 characters, one named Brent & one named Brett. Time issue with when Vincent died, Mike was 4 the first time it's mentioned and 4 the second time. Trigger warnings: main characters were both children raised from broken homes, facts about 3 parents dying, anal play, bondage & blindfolding.

**uncertain of the spelling of character names**

Down on me

The story was okay but it didn't grab me and keep me interested. The model on the cover is sexy and that is what drew me to get this book!

it was ok

this book was way to short I wanted more it was straight to the point and left me feeling like what did I just paid for

CAN FRIENDS REALLY BE GOOD LOVERS

Friends for years, one nights events brings it all to a point. Reece finds that he cannot cross that line with the one woman that knows him so well. She could change it all for him, but he was not really ready to make the kind of changes that would make the fiery redhead happy for life. Jenna was not willing to cross that line. She was willing to just lust after the man she has loved.

J. Kenner gave us a good story that shows friends can be lovers and sometimes with time and effort more.

very good
