Rate this book
Hayes Collins has put his days of romance behind him. As a single dad with a grown daughter, he's not looking for anyone to intrude on the quiet mountain life he leads when he's not working as the head DHS agent for the Charlotte International Airport. But when he detains the beautiful and curvaceous Millie for carrying illegal substances, his life takes a sudden turn.

Even when she's found innocent, he's reluctant to let the younger beauty out of his sight. He's more interested in leading her straight to his bed.

Frisky Business is the first in a series of spicy airport-focused novellas.

Great characters and incredible banter between Millie and Hayes, plus the straight forward spicy scenes. I really enjoyed that the story went right into it, horrible ex, tough experience at the airport, and a surprise guest (can not wait for her story) in the midst of all of the cabin excitement.

Lovely novella all around. Don’t forget to also read the bonus epilogue 💜

Thank you for the E-ARC

Love myself a story with relatable characters!
Honestly my main issue with this book is that it’s a novella! The story is missing so much detail that I would love to read more of. I love the opening scene, it sets us up nicely, but then lots of the other scenes that are quite pivotal seem to be skimmed over.
The story and the trope are really great and the spicy scenes are quite good but I’d love a bit more of these two!

Frisky Business by R.M. Bellamy is a short, spicy romance that’s packed with tension, witty banter, and complex characters. From the first chapter, the chemistry between the main characters is palpable, making it a fun, fast-paced read. The story features an insta-lust connection, and despite the book’s shorter length, the depth of their relationship develops well. The dual POV helps readers get into both characters' heads, which I really enjoyed.
There’s a great balance of steam and heart, and the age gap between the characters adds an extra layer of intrigue to the dynamic. The heroine is a plus-size FMC, and seeing her confidence and the way the hero falls first really made the story enjoyable.

Tropes:
✨ Insta-lust
✨ Age gap
✨ He falls first
✨ Plus-size FMC
✨ Dual POV

It's the perfect read when you're in the mood for something spicy and lighthearted with a well-rounded romance.

From the moment Hayes pulls Millie out of line at the airport, you could feel the tension between them! He is a DHS agent and Millie gets flagged for having an illegal substance in her bag…except her (soon to be!) ex is the one who threw it in her bag.

Hayes knows he should walk away but when Millie has no where to go, he brings her to his remote cabin and sparks fly!!

This is a fun and fast burn story. I thought the author did a really good job making these characters relatable - yes it’s an insta love situation but we see them get to know each other and both have some baggage to unpack. I really liked seeing Millie’s confidence grow and Hayes accept feelings he had hidden away.

I am excited to see what the author writes next!

Who knew a novella could pack such a punch? This flight themed series begins with a DHS agent detaining an innocent woman on her way to meet her scumbag boyfriend’s family.

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, look no further than Bellamy’s debut book in which they take some well loved tropes (forced proximity! Instalust!) and pair it with body positivity for not just the FMC but the MMC.

Lest you think this is just a silly little romp, Bellamy invites us to join them on a lightly kinky journey that starts with two repressed and underloved people who finally find actualization in the arms of a partner who appreciates them and encourages the parts of themselves they have learned to keep hidden.

And the sneak peak for book 2? I’m already obsessed. Gimme gimme some trauma bèbès with religious overtones. After hitting it out of the park with book 1, I’m more than delighted to take a chance reading book 2.

“Maybe that was just the code to activate the sleeper cell slut inside of me.”

Fast burn with daddy kink, breeding kink, spanking, anal, and forced orgasms.

I genuinely enjoyed Frisky Business! I stayed engaged from start to finish, and finished wanting to continue the story! It’s hard to keep my attention, but the way this book was written made me feel like I was part of the characters lives, and I laughed out loud a couple times. If you’re looking for a quick, spicy, but cute read, this is your book!

This novella takes off in such a way, you'll need to make sure to have your seatbelt on. (Puns intended)

Our MMC, Hayes Collins, an older TSA agent, with experience both in and out of the airport, is reporting for duty on any normal day, when he notices something suspiciously beautiful in the security line. It's our MFC, Millicent-Rose Anderson, traveling with her boyfriend to visit his family, a place she really had no interest of going.

Hayes notices more than just her. After pulling the couple aside, assessing that the situation is worse than it seems, it's time to move them upstairs and figure out what the next move is. She's at an impasse, desperate for a change, and he's willing to give her just that. As long as she doesn't try to live in the airport for a week. Instead, he's offered her the seclusion of his cabin and his bed.

In this insta-love, HEA novella, Hayes and Millie tackle the need to confront repressed feelings and learn how to claim life and love for themselves.

Have you ever wondered about the tall, hot, muscled agents with the adorable K9 dogs in the airport and just think….if only….yeah, me too 😊 This novella by RM Bellamy takes that thought and creates a yummy little story between Agent Hayes Collins and Millie Anderson – our two main characters. Hayes notices Millie immediately (think insta-lust + more once he talks to her) BUT he also notices her douche-canoe of a boyfriend slip something in her bag while they’re in the TSA line. So their meet cute is more like a “gotta take you in” cute, but the chemistry is immediate between Hayes and Millie.
For romance reasons, Millie accepts Hayes’ offer to stay at his house to escape the life for awhile, and Hayes does his best to not jump her bones immediately – he is not successful. Millie is no shrinking violet, she knows what she wants – Hayes – and goes after it! These two quickly find out they have more than just chemistry, and the rest of the novella follows them through a memorable week of accepting each other into their lives.
This novella is this author’s debut, and if this story and characters are any indication, I can’t wait to see what comes next. Her writing is energetic, descriptive and emotive – bring on more tasty little novellas like this one. This is an ARC review of this novella.

5 ⭐ 4 🌶️

This was so stinking cute. And spicy as heck to boot. I loved Hayes and Millie's meet (not so) cute and their instant connection. There is some instalove vibes and a daddy keenk, and while those aren't my favorite tropes, I loved the rest enough that I didn't care. Rachel wove this story into a short, but oh so sweet tale with an age gap, forced proximity and so many laughs.

The single dad of an older kid is always a favorite trope of mine. You don't have to wonder what the kid is up to during the spicy scenes, and you get young adults like Carly who give their dads sass and have you cracking up while still maintaining that AWWW charm. Carly meeting Millie was definitely a top moment for me in this story, but honestly I loved it from beginning to end.

I'm really excited for what's next in Flight Crew. I'm hoping we get to maybe see Jenna and Carly again, but whatever Rachel has up her sleeve is sure to bring a smile to my face.

I received this book as an arc. But this is my honest review.
If you’re looking for a quick and spicy read, this is worth the read. The characters had chemistry and the spicy scenes were good.

But I was hoping for a little more. It felt rushed at times and there were parts where I felt like the story was kind of jumping around. I also didn’t quite buy the meeting to being in love in like a day part. I think the storyline had a lot of potential and I’m sure if it was longer and not a novella it would have been developed more. But it just felt too unbelievable at times. I would have liked to know more about their past. What happened with his wife and how that turned him into who he is today. More about his relationship with his daughter. How the FMC’s relationship with her ex played out after his arrest. And maybe a bit of tension in their newly formed relationship and how they navigate it. But it just went from meeting to hea.

Hayes Collins works as the head DHS agent for the Charlotte International Airport. Grumpy and set in his ways, he finds himself fighting feelings he thought he long buried when he lost his wife years ago. Those same feelings come sweeping back in when he finds himself feeling protective over Millie - a flight passenger who, unbeknownst to her, is carrying illegal substances due to a douchbag boyfriend. Once cleared of her involvement, the beautiful Millie has nowhere to go to and Hayes finds himself not wanting to turn her out. His cabin would be the perfect place to keep Mille safe and close - just how Hayes wants her, but will Millie feel the same?

A spicey novella with instant attraction, instant lust, a daddy kink & found family, this book is a fun trip!

This novella has it all! It was so cute with amazing spice and so many of my favorite tropes. It is perfect for fans of Latte Darling by SJ Tilly.

I loved Millie and Hayes so much. Millie was so relatable! She was just stuck in a rut and really needed someone to take care of her for once. Enter Hayes. I love a man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it, or in this case her. I mean how many guys would invite a woman he just detained to his remote cabin?

The whole cast of characters was amazing! Except for Jon, he can eat rocks. Jenna really stole the show and I can’t wait for her book! I’m really hoping we get the story about Carly’s HEA too.

Millie’s boyfriend tries to pin drugs on her in the TSA line but Hayes the DHS agent is watching, because he’s good at his job or he’s drawn to her is the question. When both her and her boyfriend are detained, Millie is found innocent but doesn’t want to go back to her apartment with her now ex-boyfriend so she finds a sanctuary with Hayes in his remote cabin where they explore their instant connection.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like the TSA agent/passenger relationship but it was actually really fun. It didn’t feel forced at all and even with the insta lust/insta love it felt very emotional. Great spice and decent banter. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Frisky Business is just like its name. It’s frisky and gets down to business from the very start. It pulled me in fast, entertained me, and gave me the spice that I love to see in a good romance novella/book. And also gave me some suspense in a way. Because boyfriends that pull something like hers did, are called ex-boyfriends. If you know, you know.

Miss ma’am shacks up with the TSA agent that patted her down, for one whole week. And finds out that leaving her boyfriend for an older man, is the ultimate move. And with the way he was described, I don’t blame her one bit. He treats her better than her ex ever did.

Hayes is down bad for Millie the second he lays eyes on her. It just so happens that they meet at his place of work....while Millie's supposed boyfriend tries to let her take the fall for a poor decision HE made. Thankfully Hayes is the knight in uniform to save the day.

Millie decides to throw caution to the wind and spend time at Hayes remote cabin. The instant lust between these two is off the charts!! And man oh man RM can write a SPICY scene or two...or three.
I was sweating and it's only a novella!

I can't wait to see what happens next in the flight crew series!

I loved this book! As someone who isn’t a giant fan of spice, I still thoroughly enjoyed Frisky Business. I mainly enjoyed the characters and their insta-connection, because I relate to it 1000%. I love being able to relate to characters: insecurities and trauma. It makes me feel not so alone in this big ole world. I enjoyed their story and honestly would love more of Millie and Hayes in the future. You knocked it out of the park, Bellamy. I love it and you! 💕

Steamy, fun, and totally addictive debut novella!

This book had me hooked from the very first chapter! Hayes is the ultimate broody, take-charge man you can’t help but fall for. He’s not looking for love, but when he crosses paths with Millie - a gorgeous, curvy woman who doesn’t fully realize her own worth - his quiet mountain life takes a wild, steamy turn.

Their chemistry is off the charts, and the tension between them is deliciously spicy. With scars from past relationships, Millie’s vulnerabilities make her so relatable but it’s her strength and fiery personality that make her unforgettable. Hayes, with his commanding presence and protective nature, doesn’t just see her beauty - he makes her believe in it.

A low-drama, high-heat romance that dives straight into the fun. If you love age-gap stories with a strong, protective hero and a heroine learning to embrace her confidence, you’ll devour this in one sitting. Don’t blame me if you lose sleep over Hayes and Millie - you’ve been warned!

I loved this book from beginning to end! It was insta love, but with a really cute meet cute too! And there a daddy kynk to top it off?? Say less!

I loved Millie and Hayes in this story and I am not a huge fan of insta love so that says something that I devoured this novella! Their chemistry was unreal and I loved that Hayes wanted to take care of her and shower her with love and affection. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it 😊 I can’t wait for Jenna’s book next 😆

I really enjoyed this spicy novella. The back and forth between Millie and Hayes was amazing to read, I loved that she had no problem giving him sass and I equally loved that he had no problem showing her just what it did to him, once we got there.

I also love that it wasn't just all sex - there was beautiful heart between them, a real connection. Also, Hayes' daughter was A+ with the sass she gave her dad too.

I can't wait to see what book two brings us!

Hayes and Millie are everything! This book was written well! Great little storyline with the right amount of spice! The banter was amazing! I could read about those 2 for days! Rachel definitely wrote one of my most favorite books. I met her in Greenville this past weekend, and she sold me on the book! Frisky Business was everything and more she described. I will be reading anything and everything she writes!

Millie and Hayes were fantastic. We love a man who is a giver and takes what he wants. And boy, oh boy, does Hayes deliver! This man just keeps getting better. It's the spice that keeps getting spicier. I love the insta lust in this story. A hilarious meet cute ties it all up in a pretty package.

I received an ARC copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this very spicy, cute novella, but as other reviewers mentioned, I'd love to see this as a longer story. It ended up feeling rushed and I wanted more background and context and space to see where their story could go.

3.5 stars!

Got to read this as part of the ARC team and it was the perfect length and was packed with spice. Along with the spice the storyline was really good and kept you wanting to keep reading. It’s not too often that the main character is plus size so that was a plus. Overall, nice and easy read and will definitely recommend once release!

✨ARC Review✨ This is a quick, spicy read. I think the main characters had good chemistry & I wish the author would expand the novella into a full book as the story did feel a bit rushed at times. However, I believe this is the author’s first novel & I look forward to seeing how their writing progresses in future books. Overall, I would give this book a 3.5 star rating.

I got this book as an early read and completely forgot about it. I made the mistake of starting it at night, because then I lost sleep because I didn’t want to put it down! I feel like most women have dated an ass like Millie’s ex…. And every one of those women could use a Daddy Hayes. The tension and spice… whew loves it! I really wish it was a longer read.

Sweet Millie has a sh!tty boyfriend & good ole Agent Hayes notices before we even know it, and then just might get a little frisky and offer up a refuge of sorts for our girl 🤗 & then there’s a lotta good girls going on ⚡️⚡️
