The Sapphic Inquisition

De: Ashley Halladay

Narrado por: Chelsea Stephens

Problems just keep piling up for Nicolette ‘Nic’ Saracini. The biggest? Her best friend Will is getting married, which is fine except it means the end of an era. Since childhood the two have been inseparable, sharing the same tastes in music, movies, and, most importantly, women.

The two have been wingmanning each other for the better part of a decade. From highschool prom, to frat parties in college, to smoky dive bars in adulthood, the two have been helping each other score for as long either of them can remember. But weddings have always been their favorite hunting ground.

Now, on the precipice of what they have dubbed The Summer of Weddings, Nic is without a wedding date, and more important, a wingman.

Enter Will’s younger sister Skylar, a beautiful and brilliant surgeon, who offers to fill in for Will at the six weddings that stretch across the summer. It’s not a bad idea, as far as things go, but Nic soon realizes that there are a couple major issues.

To start, Skylar is a hopeless and helpless flirt. This ostensibly straight girl can’t help but tease and touch and make inappropriate innuendos that drive Nic wild.

Which would be bad enough, but when Nic’s dreaded ex Ally starts sniffing around, wanting Nic back, the two hatch a fake dating scheme to keep Ally off her back.

The lines between what’s real and what’s not quickly blur as Ally’s attempt to expose their fake relationship finds the girls off balanced and unprepared.

After all, no one ever expects the Sapphic Inquisition.

pleasantly surprised

This is my first book with this author and wow I loved this book I don't think I have laughed that hard great story and the narrator was a perfect match for this book loved the voice and was also the right amount of spicy well maybe it could have been a little more but that's just me 😉

hilarious

so good and funny.Loved the friendship surrounding the main characters. Totally recommend the story is cute and hot.

Very spicy!

Funny, sexy, and earnest! My only wish was that it was longer or that there a sequel or other AH books to listen to! Ms, Halladay, hope you have more listens available soon, whatever type genre it might be! ;)

Steamy Rom-Com. That’s is hard to accomplish. Usually is one of the other but this? A work of art.

The filthy things that happen in this book had me fanning myself and the comedy had me crying. What an interesting combination of feelings that was. Again. Work of absolute art.

A hilarious, enjoyable romance

4.5 stars

I absolutely loved this book! I was laughing at the witty dialogue throughout.

The listening experience would have been even better with a different narrator. While Chelsea Stephens was fine, I couldn’t help but wish Ellie Gossage had done it. Chelsea’s voice for Skylar - described as a brilliant and beautiful surgeon - was mousy and didn’t really fit her. But the story was so well written that I really enjoyed it nonetheless.

It looks like Ashley Halladay has written mostly erotica before this but I hope she writes more sapphic romance. I’d definitely be interested in reading more!
