Intense

The story is intensely hot and offers just enough character background that allows you to connect with them. CJ Bloom’s narration is pleasing to ears while encompassing the sensual dialogue of the story.

I can’t get enough.

I am really liking these WAGS books. This is a friends to benefits with an extra order of one sided love and a dessert of denial.

Two foster kids who became each other’s rock or maybe barnacles as they grew up.

Tennyson has seen Dominic become a star football player and a ladies man all while harboring a love since they were kids.

Dominic has blinders when it comes to Tennyson’s goals and dreams all while becoming dependent on her presence. When she makes moves to become more independent, his game suffers.

The story does get sort of irritating with Dominic’s hold on Tennyson. And her fear of branching out also affects her friendship with him.

Add hot sex and the drama just gets bigger.

Now what the story lacked for me, the writing really was easy to consume. Naima Simone’s writing is just an easy flow for me and I really really enjoy that. CJ Bloom turns in another amazing performance.

Basically I need more.

Wonderful book and narration!

This was my first book by Naima Simone (accidentally listened out of order) and I've already downloaded a second! Loved it so much, and CJ Bloom is a fantastic narrator!

door mat

The h was a door mat watching the man she loved since she was 11 yrs old have a different woman almost every night for years she also works for him and when she finally gets a back bone to get a new job he trys his hardest to get her to stay and its okay for him to be with women but not okay for her to be with men. F*** that!! Im sorry isn't enough. He kept turning her down because she was his friend and he cared about football (his job more than her ) or many women just no, the women would have been a deal breaker long time ago for me.

tiresome

didn't make it halfway thru. they have a kiss and angst. they make out a week later and angst. I just wanted to smack both of them. instead I stopped reading. skip this one.

The actual greatest friends to lovers ever written.

This book is steamy and sexy and angsty and so good. It will punch you in your feelings and you’ll love every second.

One of my favorites by Naima Simone

This was the second book in the wags series from Naima Simone. Tennyson Clark is trying to move on in her life and that includes moving away from the one person that she is in love with and that she is closest to, her best friend Dominic Anderson star quarterback for the Seattle warriors. Tenny is also Dom’s PA so when she tells him she is changing jobs that changes everything with the stress of everything. Can they work through their feelings or will they ruin their friendship.

This book was so good friends to lovers, unrequited love it’s all here. I could not put this book down.

A slow burn friends to lovers sports rom com

Heard about this book on the fated mates podcast and decided to give it a try and I really enjoyed it. CJ Bloom is one great narrator and really brought the book to life. The couple grew up in foster care system together and she has been in love with him forever but he could not love her (his words). She decided to quit her job as his PA which woke him up to how much things would change. Naima wrote some really funny banter between the MC and the secondary characters so it was fun to listen. The sexy times are hot AF and I really enjoyed it.
