Little Bits #4
A Little Bit of Truth
This is a standalone novel.
Marie...
I made the mistake of sleeping with my best friend. Now he wants more, but he knows I have a three night rule. His persistence is irritating, I might just give in to keep him happy. I'm sure having a few more nights of fun with him won't ruin our relationship. Neither of us like commitment so it's perfect. Just great sex with no strings.
That's possible right?
Jacob...
Three nights? Three nights isn't enough to get her out of my system and I know for a fact it isn't enough for Marie to get me out of hers. Why shouldn't we repeat the best sex of our lives? I say best because well... I am the best. She doesn't need to tell me for me to know this. I also say this because she's the best and she doesn't need me to tell her this either. She knows it and she owns it. It's hot. So I want more than three nights, or until it starts to get serious. I won't take no for an answer.

About the author
A.E. Murphy
32 books1,074 followersA. E. Murphy is the Queen of sarcasm and satire, she likes long walks in the park, as much as ice cubes like to chill in a roasting oven.
She’s effortlessly independent and so good at adulting it’s unfair on the rest of the world. She only napped twice today and has only avoided the dishes for three days before making the child slaves do them this morning.
Winning!
Her favourite hobby is writing, her worst hobby is reading through that writing.
Also she has two cats that carry toys to the top of the stairs and drop them down so they can chase them. They do this repeatedly in the middle of the night.
Who cares if she has work the next morning?
Not the cats, that’s for sure.
And if it’s not the cats doing the waking, it’s the toddler crawling into bed with her and pulling individual hairs from her scalp with pudgy little fingers for comfort.
This is likely why she’s in a constant state of grump unless there’s chocolate and coffee.
P.S. Please leave feedback, if not on the book then on this ridiculous bio she wrote herself. It’s the least you can do seeing as she’ll forever talk in the third person now.

The moment is finally here I've just pressed click and save which means the book will be live some time before midnight (I hope).
I can't apologize enough for the time it's taken me to get this finished. I've been working on other projects at the same time as this and my ability to become distracted at the slightest thing would astound a Chihuahua.
I've worked my butt off on this one. I've wanted it to be perfect but of course it will never be perfect. I'm aiming for good, I'm aiming for likable and addictive and readable.
I really hope I haven't let anyone down and the readers who have stuck with my entire series enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed avoiding to write it. :p
Me joke, me joke.
Please don't hesitate to call me out on my crap. It's thanks to you guys that I'm learning to become the writer I want to be xx
Much love! xx
P.S. It's a lot longer than the other books at approx 133,000. So be prepared for a long read and hopefully an enjoyable one.

THE TRUTH CAN HURT
Loved this edition to this series. Marie and Jacob have a bit of history together. But Marie has this stupid three date rule that could ruin something wonderful. But Jacob is tenacious and is prepared to fight for what he wants.
There are plenty of twists and turns to the plot, with plenty of drama. I must admit that Marie was a little too harsh for my liking. I just hoped that Jacob would break down her walls in the end.
This author has real talent. There are many laugh out loud moments, and some I wish the author had not penned. But overall this is a good addition to this series.

This book was sooooooooo funny ;) as are all of the other books in this series, I recommend it to everyone!!!! This kept me laughing all the way through. I can't recommend it highly enough!! Here's hoping there's a lot more in this series ;)

I have enjoyed this series of books about different characters from the set of friends written about in the first book 'A Little Bit of Crazy'. Marie and Jacob from that book feature in this story. Again, this author is excellent at witty dialogue. This book is the longest one yet and it takes us on the journey of Marie and Jacobs love affair. What starts out as an 'arrangement' eventually leads to something more but not without Marie putting up a fight. As usual there are some laugh out loud moments along with some tender moments.
I will admit I found Marie a bit too tough for my liking but she softens towards the end. I have liked Jacob since Maya and James' story and whilst at first I thought he had the hots for Maya and Marie had the hots for Lucas, I was glad to see these two finally get together...eventually!
This authors writing has progressed with each book. I find her writing style original and her heroes and heroines are far from perfect which is refreshing. The love scenes are getting hotter and hotter!! I'm hoping the next book will be about Summer and Chris as something happens within their relationship in this book that I definitely didn't see coming.
A recommended read although out of the Little Bits Series so far, Lucas and Loryn's story (A Little Bit Of Trouble) remains my favourite!

5 Jacobtastic and Marieficent stars!
This one has hit off my charts! I think this is the best of Little Bits series yet, though A Little Bit of Trouble is yet to be read. I loooooove Marie and Jacob! And might I say, WHOOOOOOOOOOO! Whores TBW ruled and conquered!
Marie and Jacob, best friends and both commitment phobes. One night of unhibited lust brought them together and now Jacob has been wanting more than the 3 nights Marie can give him. Determined as ever, Jacob can't get enough of Marie. Jacob Stone, Hollywood celebrity, is a shy away from desperate to bed her for more nights than her standard 3 nights.
Their lust insatiable and with Jacob becoming quite a bit of a green-eyed monster, they decided to take things unto the next level. But will they ever get past their past lifestyle or will it come and bite them in the ass?
The sweetness is too much! I.Can't.Even.
Who would've thought the the two less affectionate people in their bunch will be the sweetes couple ever? Gah, i love Jacob and I love Marie. I totally ship them and have no ounce of irritation in both of their characters. They are both hilarious and the bed scenes are oh so hot.

What can I say..
Little bits series.. Stories I will never get tired reading. Worth waiting for. Sleepless night coz you can't put the book down.
Marie and Jacob's are not perfect they have their own flaws. They make mistakes, but it's all worth it in the end because they'll fix their own.
It's about TRUST/ LOVE/ KNOWING WHO YOU ARE/ FACING YOUR PROBLEM/ ACCEPTANCE
It's like you're in the story and waiting what will going to happen next.
AGAIN!! Beautiful story!!!
I think there would be Summer And Mason's story??LOL
By the waaay I love Mason!!!
I like Chris but he's kinda boring.. I'm hurting for Summer though..
See? I can't seem to move forward.. LOL

4 STARS
God! Marie and Mason! They're adorable!!
This is what I like about Ms. Murphy's novels, you'll never get bored coz the story's like a see-saw.
Holy shit! Poor Mason! He saw his baby sister and Jakey!! Gawd! That was totally hilarious!!!
It's kind of rare for a novel to make me REALLY REALLY laugh my head off, I've read book 1 & 2 (i'll read book 3 in the near future), and there were funny scenes too, I mean, this is a drama series and we do need to have some release..
I love the story, love how they were able to solve their problem.

Well what can I say about Maria & Jacob? Other then the fact there are awesomely amazing!! Too funny for words at times in this book! It was great to get a bit of insight to Maria's past & her sorting out her feelings for Jacob. Ahhh Jacob! Need I say more about him? Nice smile, nice body & a cocky attitude to match. Put him on the menu & serve him up!! 5 well deserved stars!!

Really enjoyed this book , although its a standalone there are characters from previous books so I would advise reading them first as you can enjoy the lol moments knowing the history behind the couples and relationships . a funny romantic read that kept me turning the pages

This was hilarious. I don't remember the last time i laughed so much while reading a book. I swear 80% of it i couldn't stop laughing out loud. I enjoyed the humor more than the story itself but it still was pretty good :)

This is so funny . Brought out so many emotion . I loved it

Holy moly first I've got to say I want to be Marie when I grow up!! She is my spirit animal... I love her sense of humour.. her straight talking and her take no crap attitude!
I've loved reading the other books in this series about some of the other couples but I was really looking forward to getting into this one to find out what was really going on with her and Jacob.
These pair are just perfect for each other... the chemistry was off the charts.. the knew each other inside out.. the only issue was they didnt know themselves!
It was such a journey for them both and they couldnt ever see a HEA happening as both didnt want to get broken aby more than they already were.
So much craziness and laughter involved for this series and I loved every hilarious moment.
Onto book 5 straight away!

Wow!! I loved loved loved Jacob and Marie's story and was happy with the ending :). I really hope we get a story on Summer/Chris and Mason. That would be interesting.
Marie had a 3 night rule but no guy ever fought for her to go beyond the 3 nights except Jacob. He saw beyond the sleeping around guys and didnt just consider her a slut. They were funny and cute together and their fights were hilarious. I would suggest reading the previous 3 books to know more about all the characters. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :). Looking forward in reading any new books from this author.

My Favorite!!
I have read everything I could find by this author and this was by far my absolute favorite!! The story for Marie and Jacob has so much depth and self-discovery that it was addictive as well as heart warming. I don't believe I have ever laughed out loud this much reading anything and the great part is the whole series has too many hilarious parts throughout them to count!! Amazing author and I look forward to reading anything else she publishes. :-)

Brilliant!
Another fantastic read.
Felt so sorry for Marie in parts as Jacob was being an ass a lot. He said "I'm sorry" many times throughout this book and I was surprised Marie took him back so easily in the end, I surely would have made him grovel a bit more, ha!
Hope there are more to come in this series, Mason needs a story, and Summer, and even Landons story would be great.
Will file this one along with the others in my favourites file.

Marie is damn amazing... And Jacob... Their story was great, but other characters are also here and are so important, that this whole series feel like one really crazy family. No complains. Really good book.
