That time I had the brilliant idea to ask my good friend for lessons in sex-ploration…
Awkward? Maybe. But how else is a good girl going to find out if she likes being naughty? I might be sweet as cherry pie, but I'm also bold and damn curious. And Gabe is charming, trustworthy, aces at seduction (or so I hear) and—bonus!— willing to give me lessons. But to guarantee it won’t ruin our friendship, I have some specific requirements for his instruction. I want these classes to be hypothetical more than hands-on. So what if he’s hella sexy? I can handle that, no problem.

I have it bad for Arden. She's bright, brilliant, insanely fun, and I want to take her home and spend all night together—and then spend the day with her, too. When she asks for my help, I see my chance to win her sweet heart by showing her how much fun we can have getting spicy. Trouble is, she has a different idea of what “sex-ploration” should mean. Now I’m going to have to get really clever to win her over.
Good thing I know exactly how to upend her best laid plans.

My Review:
At the beginning of the book we get to meet Arden East, owner of A New Chapter, a bookstore in Lucky Falls. As a book and a wine lover, Arden is able to give people wine recommendations with certain books. It is her passion that has made her successful in career, but not so much in her love life. She is the good girl that guys take home to meet their parents and she loves that. That is until her boyfriend breaks up with her because there is no spark in the bedroom that leaves her wondering what it would be like to explore her naughty side. She needs someone she can fully trust and after her breakup, Gabe Harrison has been her rock and biggest supporter. He knows everything about her and as her best friend she trusts him fully enough to ask for his help. Arden knows that they can’t be intimate, but there is nothing wrong with a little sex-ploration, she just needs to get him to agree first.
As a firefighter, Gabe Harrison is used to saving lives but when Arden asks for his help he doesn’t know what to do. He has always had a crush on her and exploring her naughty side has his head going wild, until she tells him that they will not be intimate that has him thinking of ways to get her to that point. He knows that she trusts him fully enough to ask him, but when he finally gives him Gabe starts to feel differently towards her. He’ll have to figure out if their sex-ploration could lead to something more or potential ruin their friendship forever.
I absolutely loved reading this book! Gabe is sweet, charming and protective towards Arden. He truly is a good friend to her. On the other hand, Arden is smart, funny and has no problem asking for help. She is a quick learner, but when she discovers just how much she enjoys being with Gabe, she’ll have to figure out if pursuing a relationship with him is worth it or not. I was hooked from beginning to end! It was fun reading their sex-ploration and how it all ends at the end. I would highly recommend reading this book and any others by the author, it will not disappoint! <3

My Rating:
{EXCERPT}
~GABE~
Arden has never pumped me for dating details before. Not the tawdry ones at least. I half want to believe it means something, but it could mean nothing at all.
“Just curious,” she says nonchalantly as she grabs her favorite purple ball. She makes it sound so casual, her inquiry. But there’s that word again from Words with Friends—curious—and it snags on my brain. Why exactly is she so curious?
A second later, she gives me the answer. “Everyone’s coming into the bookstore buying these racier books. It just got me thinking.”
She turns away, heads to the top of the lane, and holds the ball in front of her.
And her comment has me thinking too.
About dirtier books.
If she reads them.
What she likes between the sheets.
What her curiosity has piqued exactly. Well, besides me. I’m definitely piqued, and I make a quick adjustment in my jeans so it’s not so damn obvious.
As she tosses the ball down the lane, her left leg arcing behind her, showing a hint of the back of her thighs, I groan.
I want to know the landscape of her body. Want to slide my hands up and down her legs, nibble on her ass, and make her whimper.
I would love to know what would make Arden go wild in bed.
That’s not only because I’m wildly attracted to her.
It’s because I want to know what makes her tick in the bedroom as well as I know what excites her out of it.
I want to know her in every way.
Sooner or later, I’m going to have to figure out how to drive this car clear out of the friend zone.
Sooner is my preference.
Like maybe this weekend at the party here at the bowling alley.
Maybe I can find a way to pique her interest in me.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
