Oak and I have been best friends since we were five years old, and roommates since we moved out on our own. I live for our movie-night cuddles and seeing his face in the crowd at Peaches while I’m dancing onstage. None of his girlfriends has ever really understood our relationship, and while he’s always chosen me, I know that one day he’ll find the woman who accepts our dynamic, and I’ll lose what we have.
I’ve never really felt the desire to be with someone, and hooking up feels like a chore. Oakley and I both identify as straight, and we don’t really understand why everyone thinks we’re something more than we are.
So why, when it’s suggested to try kissing my best friend, do I feel butterflies?
Oakley
When yet another relationship bites the dust, I decide to stop worrying about girlfriends and focus on my best friend. Watching Cole onstage from where I sit in my booth every night is the highlight of my week, but then again, everything with him is the best.
Eventually, I’m sure I’ll find someone who gets what Cole and I mean to each other, but until then, it’s game nights and nighttime cuddles with him when I can’t sleep.
I’ve never looked at Cole romantically… until the night he tells me he thinks we should try kissing. How didn’t I know how incredible my best friend tastes?
Sinful Nights is book three in the Peaches series about a group of friends who work at an all-male strip club. You can expect a double bi-awakening, two clueless best friends who have basically been dating their entire lives—and didn’t know it—cameos by all the entire Peaches family, plenty of spice, and minimal angst.
Cole Turner and Oakley Albury have been best friends since their teacher sat them next to each other at the age of five. Since then they have been so close and each other’s ride or die. Years later they live together and love platonically. Oak has just been dumped again, by a women who asked him to chose between her and Cole. Cole would win every time. They are very affectionate and their friends all assume they are together, but always say they are just best friends. They are beautifully oblivious. Their friends suggest they try kissing to see if there are any sparks, once they do they set on fire and never look back, loving romantically.
I loved this third book in Ashley Rayne’s ‘Peaches’ series. As with the other books the writing flows effortlessly with a beautifully paced story. I loved how simple it was for Cole and Oak to transition from best friends to lovers. Their love and connection was such a delight to read. I loved how Cole didn’t really feel anything sexually before Oak, alluding to his demi-sexuality. This series makes me smile and never fails to give me the warm hug I need. I am hoping Bash gets his story with maybe Caleb.
