Finding Her Sweet Spots

Fun & Filthy #1

by Joya Lively

I thought they were off-limits. Until one night at a steamy club, masks let us pretend…

Pretend we don’t know each other…

That it’s not a bad idea…

And pretend that only one night is all we need…

I made a vow to make all my dreams come true. And that was going pretty well… Until them.

The gorgeous Sweet brothers are New York City’s most eligible bachelors. And they’re nice to me because we work well together in our graduate program. Nothing else.

Until one night, I run into them at a very steamy club and normal rules don’t seem to apply.

Surrender tastes sweet, but it can't be anything other than one night. Until they offer me a deal I simply can't refuse. But it has a time limit. Because while they're anyone’s dream come true, they can’t be mine.

FINDING HER SWEET SPOTS is an extra-extra-steamy reverse harem contemporary romance novella with lots of fun and light moments. HEA guaranteed! (While this book is part of a series, it also works as a standalone.) Happy reading!

It is nothing for Deacon, Ben and Graham to be in a sex club, to the point they are bored. When they see a familiar woman asking questions, they can't help but do what they have wanted since they met her two years ago.

Emily is determined to do things on her own that she keeps the guys at arm's length. After the night with the guys, she is doing her best to avoid them, unfortunately for her they won't be ignored.

This is a fast steamy story that have you melting in your seat.

Super spicy novella with super light valentines theme. As a woman in my 30s it was great to read not only about a mature woman, but one who embraces her s3xuality and takes charge of her life. The reverse age gap was a breath of fresh air. I honestly wish this was a full length novel instead of a novella.

I loved this story, I loved how it wasn't too serious and there was joking and teasing, it had a great balance in 🌶️ and plot. I just wish it was longer.

Joya Lively is quickly becoming one of my favorite reverse harem/ why choose romance authors. Her books are super steamy without being crass and always have lots of love and hilarious moments, and did I mention steam 🔥🥵😉?

Finding Her Sweet Spots is a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, reverse age gap, reverse harem, opposites-attract, girl gets her 3 hunks romance.

Emily is a 40 year old, smart, sassy, career driven, empowered female going to grad school. She is looking to start her own business focused around women embracing, owning, and communicating their sexual wants and needs. Ben, Deacon, and Graham are the hunky Sweet brothers in their early 30s. They are also in grad school, and their family owns a confectionery business. The 4 are in a study group together, and just click. The three brothers want Emily, and she is attracted to them but worried about the age gap and losing focus on starting her company.

When she goes to a masquerade event at a local sex club on Valentine's Day for research, she never expects to run into the brothers and have a very hot experience with them. She tries to ignore that it happened after, but the brothers are having none of it. Will she let them in? Can they prove to her that they are all in?

The chemistry between these 4 was INSANE!! I was fully expecting my Kindle to spark and melt from all the hotness. The banter was so fun, flirty, and hysterical. And we got an amazing HEA after a bit of angst.

I am totally in love with the 3 Sweet brothers. They are insanely hot and completely drool-worthy. I loved how they took care of Emily... and Emily was such a bad ass, demanding what she wanted but also admitting she was wrong when needed. This book was so good. I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Three Times The Sweet Love

First off, I just gotta say…that author note was hilarious & definitely set the tone for the book 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😝 This was an entertaining short story that is all about reaching out & grabbing the unexpected opportunities that come our way. That’s exactly what the Sweet brothers do when they run into the older woman (by almost 10 years) they’ve all had their sights on while going to graduate school together. While Emily may be focused on her goals, she’s noticed the guys too, but she certainly didn’t think they had any serious interest in her. Well, guess what…after finding each other during a special Valentine’s event at a sex club, they’re all about to give into how they’re feeling, but can this new level to their feelings last in the light of day? This may be a short story, but it still gave enough character background to feel like I could connect & root for everyone finding their HEA, with the added advantage of a realistic timeline for that HEA to happen. There was also plenty of spice, but it didn’t overpower the storyline so that it felt like there was no plot. I love how Joya does such an amazing job of giving us full length novel feels in such a short time period. Can’t wait for what we get next ❤️

Joya Lively wrote this great novella featuring a M/M/M/F scenario.

We follow the Sweet brothers (Graham, Deacon and Ben) as they are into their study partner Emily, but don’t think she would be into anything with the 3 of them jointly since she’s shy and older (10 year age gap). A chance encounter in a sex club starts the thrilling storyline featuring lots of *spicy* scenes.

Spice level was a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. It gets REAL detailed in a couple scenes. Emily is a whole beast for handling the three of them like she did. More power to her! The Sweet brothers definitely know how to please a woman, that’s for damn sure! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I enjoyed the novel and that Joya could fit in so much storyline in a small amount of time in a novella. There was a lot of growth with Emily and the Sweet brothers on their own and everything tied together well!

If you love some spicy scenes with more than 1 male in the scenario and it ends in a HEA, this novella is calling your name!

Omg Omg Omg….idk what to say but thing I bad I have to say is that I wish it was longer😭😭. I’m in love with the Sweets brothers and I can’t even choose who I love more Ben, Graham or Deacon .

It’s an age gap romance novella , but not in the way you are thinking . She is 10 years old than the guys ( she is around 40 and they are around 30) . I love that she was high strong but I couldn’t stand that she was so stubborn. Idk , If it was me I would have FOLDED!!!!

Such a cute book, the smut was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ , it wasn’t lacking no smut AT ALL and did I mention it was a Why- Choose book and I honestly can’t wait until the second book because I want to know who Ms. Training Tramp is. Love the book and you should definitely get it.

The author's note definitely sets the tone for the wild ride you're about to endure! Finding Her Sweet Spots is short, steamy, and to the point. Emily is focused on her goals and her future. She is determined not to let anything stand in her way. That is until the Sweets brothers have other intentions. Can Emily let down her walls and let the Sweets in?

I loved how even in a short novella Joya Lively gives us a story line sprinkled with tons of spice. Emily goes to a sex club for research and ends up diving into a new and fun adventure that she hopes will never end.

If you're looking for something short and fun to read then definitely give Finding Her Sweet Spots a try! I loved this and read it in one sitting. It isn't often that you find an older female character who is driven. I was rooting for Emily to let her walls down and the Sweets brothers in! Definitely a fun read!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about Emily and brothers, Deacon, Graham and Ben Sweet. Emily is ten years older than the guys in her MBA post grad study group, for the last two years they have wanted to be together, but Emily doesn’t believe that they would want her because of the age gap,that is until one night while she is doing research for her new app she wants to create, she is in disguise, but the Sweet brothers recognise her and give her the time of her life. Now they need to convince her that she’s the one for them. I enjoyed how they convince her to give them a go which leads to their happily ever after.

Received as an ARC in return for my honest review

💜 Reverse harem
💜 Reverse age gap
💜 All of the praise
💜 Extra smutty romantic comedy

This short and spicy as fuck novella was just what I needed to combat the post great book slump. The characters were great and the story flowed really well for a book that is only 97 pages long

I loved Emily as an FMC and lived vicariously through her and the dicking down she got from Deacon, Graham and Ben. Because let’s face it, if any normal person had to deal with those monster cocks on a daily basis we’d be walking like John Wayne for the rest of our lives so go Emily! Taking one for the team

[✭ 𝖜𝖊𝖓𝖉𝖞✭ ｡^‿^｡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Charming story of what they all think is unrequited love. Little do they know.
This being a novella, the author did a good job of world building in a short amount of time. I’d of like to know more if each MMC individual personalities but it works here. (Leaves room for a full length book)

Strong FMC hits just perfect. She knows what she likes and wants and doesn’t out anything in front of her getting it.

The spice is nice and not overly done. Readers are going to eat this up! And like it!

REVERSE AGE GAP

[Mulan Book Princess · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was a cute novella. Em has gone back to school and works well in a group with, Deacon, Ben and Graham. She is very attracted to them, but can’t be distracted as she has goals, and the fact that she is almost a decade older. While doing research for her future, she runs into the brothers at a club and their attraction bubbles over. The boys will have to convince Em that she needs them in her life, and Em has to decide whether this can happen and still reach her goals. I found this story fun and steamy hot!.

[Libby Frances · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was by far the hottest novella I have ever read! I hadn't read any reverse harem books before and as it turns out, I am fully in love with the trope. Another to add to my growing list. I loved all of the spice, especially chapter thirteen. But what I loved most was how independent and strong Emily was. After she makes the deal, she finally breaks through the wall she built between the brothers and wasn't afraid to ask for what she really wanted. Also, the world needs more people like the Sweet brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed this novella and I cannot wait for the sequel.

Tropes:
Reverse Harem
Multiple POV
Dirty Talk
Praise
Reverse Age Gap
HEA

Favourite Quote: "It's really the idea of pancakes that makes them wonderful. It's like a celebration you've a long morning to spend together."

My only complaint about this novella is that it was too short. At just under 100 pages, the story of Emily, Graham, Deacon, and Ben is sweet and simple. It's filled with good banter, and the reverse age-gap means we get a FMC who is sure of herself and confident. For a novella it provides a great combination of spice and story as the characters work through their MBA course alongside developing their business goals. I'd definitely recommend picking this one up for a quick Valetine's read!

[Merilu Keenum · Rating 4 out of 5]

Emily and her Sweet brothers are too much dirty fun! She’s so focused on her dreams that she almost misses her opportunity for endless orgasmic bliss. Graham, Deacon, and Ben may be younger than Emily, but they know how and who they want to please. Joya Lively created a great novella with enough plot that the sexual attraction makes sense. The dialogue is hot, steamy, and explicitly decadent while conveying the care and love they have for each other.

This was a great read. Emily and the Sweet brothers - Ben, Deacon and Graham - are wonderful characters who make magic together. The story was fun, flirty and filthy, the spice was blazing hot, and the romance was sweet and fulfilling. A really lovely novella - I can’t wait to for ‘Taming Her Temptations’ next.

This is a fast read, with lots of steam. All the characters have chemistry. Three brothers all like the same person and have wanted her from the day they met. She has felt the same. She feels she is not the right person for them and is afraid of having her heart broken.
You need to read the book to find out the how the story unfolds and whether they give in to their desires.

First time reading this author and I am pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the whole book. The brothers here are younger than the FMC and I'd say it's a fantasy come true right? Emily is really focused on getting her goals done but also notices the guys. She doesn't think however they are interested. But one valentine's special is coming up. Swoon! Loved it.

[mellie_reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was definitely something. This wasn’t my first RH but definitely my first where all the mcs are related. I’m not judging (too much lol) but it took some getting used to. The storyline was nice and their relationship seems…..unique. I have no clue how this wedding gone work tho lol. Overall it was a smutty but sweet story.

[lsnid003 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun, filth, and freedom!

Our amazing FMC is getting an MBA with three brothers as her study buddies. Can she find success in life and love? This is my first read of this author’s work, and I really enjoyed it. I also appreciated seeing a woman over 26 as the focus. I’m gonna go read more of her stories!

[Katie Roberts · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNF

I got to 49% in and honestly I was just a bit bored. Also, it pissed me off at the beginning that she decided to sneak a phone into a sex club for whatever reason, despite it being against the rules, whilst planning a business that is about sex and good sex communication. It was a disrespectful move and seemed to have no purpose for the plot either.

[Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

This reverse harem romance is part of a series, all can be read as a standalone. This story is about Emily and the Sweet brothers. It is fun and has lots of HEAT. Wish it was longer.

Super cute, short and v spicy read. Definitely a 5/5 spice level for number of scenes, dirty talk, and kink. I like that she was ambitious and doing her own thing, and the reverse age gap! Short quick read and really liked it.

[ReadsBetweenKatNaps · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick and Fast (that’s what she said)

Sweet story to cleanse the palate. Reverse age gap, RH, no MM, just a good old fashioned love fest. They fall first and hard. No angst to this puppy, just very sweet and yes it is filled to the brim with spicy naughty stuff too.
