Her Sweet Seduction #2

Her Dirty Best Friend

Rate this book
How does a romance author with practically zero experience find inspiration to write raunchy bedroom scenes?

I listen to my best friend describe his hookups…in explicit detail. Except now I picture myself in every scenario. It's Olly's fault...with his cocky smirk and dirty mouth, it was only a matter of time before my crush turned to obsession, and every scene I wrote became a fantasy I could never act out. Because we are just friends. So when I need to write a story about turning the good boy bad, it makes sense to stop relying on Olly's experiences and get some of my own. Seducing our timid college professor will work. Except I seduce on paper, not in real life…I have no clue where to start, but my dirty best friend does.

Olly

I'd do anything for my Lovely Lacey, but teaching her to seduce her way into another man's bed drives me crazy. Crazy enough to want what I shouldn't.

Crazy enough…to join in. This is a short and steamy friends-to-lovers story. It contains MF, MFM, MM scenes.

This is a short and steamy novella in Her Sweet Seduction Series. Each novella is stand-alone with new characters and spicy scenarios to enjoy anytime—but especially fun as a bedtime treat.

What a spicy, quick novella with stellar narration! You can NEVER go wrong with Teddy Hamilton, and Savannah crushed the sweet-but-innocent FMC persona. This is the perfect read when you want something fast-paced and spicy.

The plot follows Lacey, a college student who writes smut while secretly crushing on her best friend, Ollie, and his wild 'sexcapades.' This was a fun, simple friends-to-lovers story featuring a delightful 'naughty professor' moment. My favorite moments were Lacey's sexy dream while spending the night at Ollie's and his background extracurriculars. 😘 I honestly wish this book was longer—I loved these two! It was exactly the quick, uncomplicated romance I needed.

I listened to another novella by this author the day before this one, and honestly, I think that was my first mistake. This one almost felt a little copy-and-paste, the foundation of the story was basically the same, just with a few different twists. You’ve got two best friends figuring out their attraction, hesitant to cross the line because they don’t want to ruin their friendship. The main difference here was a bisexual MMC and a really hot group scene with a professor.

Parts of it did feel a little cheesy lol her calling him a naughty professor had me cackling. Don’t get me wrong, I love a professor/student trope, but for some reason I just couldn’t take this one as seriously.

Still, it’s a fun, low-stakes, smutty read. I think because I listened to these books back-to-back, they started to feel too similar, which is why this one’s getting a slightly lower rating from me. But overall, if you’re looking for something quick, easy, and low commitment to pass the time, definitely give it a listen the narration is incredible!!

Holy Sm*tt.. You’re gonna be a 2nd pair of und!£s 😉

When I first saw the title of this book I thought… “mmmm okay a friends-to-lovers romance with some spice.. okay awesome let’s see what it’s about” mannnn was I wrong on the “some spice” part of it cause this book was SM*TTY with a capital SM*T!!

✨Shy Romance Writer FMC
✨D!rty Spicy MMC
✨SPICY AF
✨Professor/Student
✨MMF Scene but not a Full RH or whychoose (but kinda) 😉
And so much more


⭐️4/5 & 🌶️ 5/5

The writing was top notch…. It was easy to follow and it did keep a short storyline between the characters but the main focus was still definitely the steamy spicy factor of it all!!

Two best friends that are crazy for sure other but neither one sees it due to fear of ruining their easy and perfect friendship!! Lacey is a romance author that’s not getting a whole lot of romance because she’s too busy crushing on her BFF and living vicariously through his steamy AF hookups (no cheating promise) she take all her romance Spicy
Inspiration from Olly who is more then happy to paint her a picture of his night of spicy dirty debauchery (Spicy MM fun)!!

Certain thing come to light and she makes the choice of being the main character in her own story with the encouragement from Olly (even tho it’s k!lling him to do so because she’s his (she doesn’t know it yet)but she is ) she sets her eyes on their professor. Olly being totally in love with her and wanting Lacey to have everything she’s ever wanted becomes her wingman… one attempt at getting professors attention goes a little farther then either Lacey and Olly intended which leads to eyes being open to what’s always been in front of them for the past two years……

Oh and best believe that the freaking SPICE was definitely SPICIN 5 straight jalapeños! Make sure to bring an extra set of undi£s you might need them hehehe 🤭

-Happy Reading babes

Okay so, I listened to this book and the two narrators were perfect! Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood were the PERFECT narrators for this book! It was a quick, easy listen.

This book was erotica and I enjoyed every second of it. I just can’t look anyone in the eye for a few days after listening to this 🤣

Hot & Spicy novella narrated by Teddy Hamilton & Savannah Peachwood. Yeppp!

She’s a romance writing without much experience and turns to her guy best friend for inspiration & advice through his experiences. Friends to lovers, done right!! Catching feelings and turning up the heat! This was a fun, super spicy ride with a little added “sharing” experience. Definitely a quick, fun, and very hot read/listen!

Ohhh my goodness - This was everything I wanted in a quick, smutty novella!

Our FMC, Lacey, writes spicy romance novels using her best friend Olly's exploits as inspiration and Olly loves giving Lacey plenty of inspiration. Lacey is a really good mix of innocent and dirty, like someone who wants to be dirty so bad, but lacks the confidence. And our Olly is actually so sweet and encouraging.

I really loved this. So much story was packed into 120-ish pages and it flowed really well and was spicier than I thought it would be! The end maybe felt a little bit rushed, but I think that might've just been me wanting to stay in this world with these people for longer. Because man, I could've used a very extended epilogue for this one. IYKYK.

Some notes, as I've labeled this MF, MM, and MMF and I feel like that needs explaining - It's mostly MF, I guess, but also there's some MM and there's also some MMF/MFM - Yes, I know there's a difference, but this is hard to explain without giving away the full climax here. So while I wouldn't quite call this a throuple situation, I also don't feel comfortable labeling this as strictly MF, because I want to set your expectations appropriately.

Sometimes I just want to read some quick panty melting smut. This book definitely fits the bill.
Lacey is a romance writer and Olly's best friend. She gets all her spicy scenes from Olly's sexual exploits. He loves relaying his sexual conquests to her and only does males as he knows she gets turned on. Lacey becomes disheartened with writing erotic novels as she doesn't have much experience on her own and wants to change it up but Olly will have no such thing. He goes as far as videoing her while he's having sex! She decides she needs to get her own experiences and this is where the story gets even hotter. Let me just say woah! I loved how Olly was with Lacey. Hell I loved that it involved MM, MF, and MFM

Olly and Lacy ... plus 1?

I love how different this story is. While yes it's mostly about Olly and Lacy getting their heads out of their butts and admitting they have feelings. It's also about Lacy discovering her dirty side in real life.

Adele may have made a book stalker. lol I'm only 2 books in and I'm already hooked! And that dirty talk though! Ugh all the yes!!

Her Dirty Best Friend was a super spicy novella that took things to the next level with an additional sharing scene with a professor.

Lacey writes romance under a pen name while going to college, but she has had some writer's block. She asks her best friend Olly to give her some lessons in seduction since she doesn't have much experience. Olly has been crushing on her for a while, so he is more than happy to help her.

There were so many spicy scenes in this book, and the scenes with their teacher were so hot!

Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

Jesus. I don’t know why I’m remotely shocked at how hot and spicy this novella was. I’ve read Adele Knight before and this was just as hot as the previous book I’ve read, if not hotter to be honest. I don’t know what it is about dirty talk but also the angst and the tension build up between best friends and when that finally breaks ugh it’s so hot. Plus you add in a forbidden professor on top of it all… and then the boyfriends become boyfriends. I swear this just kept getting better and better.

Teddy and Savannah were absolute perfection. I swear they could both read the back of a cereal box and it’d sound erotic.

This novella was so incredibly spicy in all the best ways. It’s the perfect quick read while also having a captivating plot that you just can’t stop listening to.

Lacey is a romance author with limited experience to use as inspiration writing bedroom scenes. Her best friend, Olly, describes his hookups in explicit detail that he uses for her inspiration. Except now, she pictures herself and writes scenes inspired by him that she could never act out. When she needs to write a story about turning a good boy bad, she wants to stop relying on Olly’s experiences and go looking for inspiration herself. Lacey decides seducing her college professor is the perfect experience for inspiration.

“The reasons we shouldn’t do this don’t matter; he just needs to keep touching me like that.”

Okay. Well well well. This was a fun spicy novella. What do you do if you are writing erotica but need inspiration? You get it from your hot roommate, obviously. I love a book that includes exhibitionism and voyeurism, and this tiny novella packs both in! If you want something quick and dirty, pick up this series.
The duet narration by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton was outstanding and made it even dirtier in my opinion.

Thank you Must Love Audio, Lyric Audiobooks, and Adele Knight for the advance listener copy.

Teddy Hamilton.... enough said honestly.

For real though, this was fast and spicy. I wouldn't mind hearing more from Olly and Lacey. Seriously a book just about Olly and his escapades would probably be hot AF...and you can't get Olly without Lacey!

As I was listening I couldn't help but get a tiny bit annoyed, like are yall blind.... just get together all ready!

I received an audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another spicy novella for anyone with a short attention span like me. The audiobook is really good and both narrators do a stupendous job. Definitely lots of tropes going on in this one (best friends and teacher/student mainly). Thanks to @netgalley for my ALC.

ALC REVIEW

This was an easy 5 star read, hehehehehe so yummy.

A SUPERR short read, about a little over 3 hours and omg it is straight to the point.
Summary: Lacey is a college student by day, an erotica author at night. Little does anyone know, she has little to none sensual experience, has been using all her inspiration through her best friend Olly, Olly, who is the most luscious decadent man she knows she can't have because who would want to ruin their friendship they have? The only man who she crushes on, but words can't be spoken out loud. Only on paper. Is she really out of experience as she seems or will she walk over tip over the line of friendship and dive into something more with Olly? Even if the excuse says its for her book research?


Can we please talk about how HOT Teddy Hamilton narrated as Olly. Oh mah lawd, it was sooo goood. GOD TIER. PEAK. I had to ROLLLLL in grass because WHEW, it was getting hot at work when I was reading it (yea i read erotica at work, no i have no shame because I have the poker face of a statue)

The book was super hot and yummy, super delicous! I like how it was straight to the point, sometimes you just need a good sappy erotic story that has no melodrama and craziness. Also, also this *ahem* bed scene My fave scene out of all of it. I ZEROED in on that.

I received the ALC by the author herself! Thank you for allowing me to listen! i had a great time and enjoy our small conversation about the book. This review is my true and honest thoughts<.i>

🌶Short Story

Lacey is a romance author with zero personal experience to write about. So how does she get her inspiration? Her dirty best friend, of course. Olly has zero shame sharing all the details of his hook ups with Lacey. With a deadline approaching and nothing to write about, Olly decides to help Lacey find the real experiences she desires. Problem is, Lacey has her eyes set on the professor and Olly is crazy enough to help her, and join her.

Thank you @netgalley for gifting me the opportunity to listen to this audiobook and @adeleknightauthor. Let's be honest, I was sold when I seen Teddy Hamilton's name. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sorry, not sorry. This erotica short story left me wanting more BUT honestly had the right amount of everything that it didn't seem rushed like some short stories can be. It's simply a male/female best friend pair and a whole lotta spice lol Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood did an amazing job narrating, I felt all the feels that a book like this should ring outta you 🩷 it's definitely worth a listen.

Her Dirty Best Friend
Her Sweet Seduction • Book 2️⃣
By: Adele Knights @adeleknightauthor

🎙️ Narrated By: Savannah Peachwood @savannahpeachwood and Teddy Hamilton @narratedbyteddyhamilton

Her Dirty Best Friend is exactly that, a steamy friends-to-lovers novella, jam-packed with duet narration that will have you melting.

As Lacey begins to write a spicy book, she finds that her experience isn’t much to write about, but her best friend Olly has all the spicy experience and he isn’t afraid to share it. The only thing is Olly would rather be showing Lacey than telling her about it.

Narrated in duet by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton, these two had me blushing the entire time. Savannah narrated Lacey with a bit of innocence, yet a wild side ready to be unleashed. Sass and intelligence. Teddy brought the extra charm with his flirty tones as Olly explored his sexual experiences all while lusting after his best friend.

If you like a short and spicy friends-to-lovers novella with fantastic narration, added in a little MF, MFM & MM, listen to Her Dirty Best Friend Today.

🫶🏼Thank You @mustloveaudio for the opportunity to listen and review this sexy little number.

Daaaaaaymn. Do yourself a spicy favour and go and listen to this audibook, now.

It’s a short novella about a successful - yet inexperienced - romance author, who uses her bestfriends sexual conquests as inspiration for her spicy books. Here’s the thing though - she’s secretly in love with him. He is an open bi-guy, who loves to give his bestie the inspiration she needs. But here’s the thing, he doesn’t want to be the inspiration anymore, he wants to be the main character. In an effort not to break their friendship, they both bury their feelings.

Sick of not having her fun, our FMC devises a plan to seduce the hot professor, with the help of her best friend.

This is a super short, super spicy read narrated by none other than Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood. I loved it, definitely one for the headphones, not the car speakers 🥵

Thank you to Adele for reaching out to me with this novella! It was so much fun!

3.5⭐️ gladly rounding up

This one worked better for me, mostly because the dynamic was more interesting and the execution more confident. Again, it’s a novella, again it’s filthy, and again it wastes absolutely no time getting to the point.

Lacey and Ollie are best friends, students, and walking sexual tension. Lacey is an author who writes romance and erotica but lives a comparatively quiet, studious life. Ollie, meanwhile, is out there doing the practical research, hooking up with anyone and everyone and then reporting back so she can turn his experiences into stories. Yes, it’s exactly as loaded as it sounds.

The audiobook deserves special mention here because the duet narration elevates everything. Having voices like Teddy Hamilton involved means this gets straight down to business and never lets up. The pacing is relentless in the best way, and the chemistry feels playful rather than forced.

There’s a professor involved, there’s blurred boundaries, and there’s a lot of mutual realisation packed into a very small word count. Is it subtle? Absolutely not. Is it fun, filthy, and self-aware? Very much so.

Short, sharp, and surprisingly effective for what it is.

I would definitely check your TW‘s for this book. The duo Teddy & Savannah were absolutely amazing.

It’s about a romance author Lacey, who is taking college courses with her best friend, and she lives vicariously through his experiences. However, time passes by she comes up with this amazing idea for her next book and she wants to act it out however, she starts thinking what if it was with him?



In this book, it’s exactly what you think. It’s her best friend Olly who is naughty, dirty, and tells her everything. It has amazing chemistry in the book that eventually builds up. The relationship was easy to follow especially for this book being a novella which a lot of the times you know it’s very short and easy to get lost however, Adele did amazing with this one

This was such a cute, spicy little novella. Short, steamy, and basically the perfect “one more chapter” bedtime treat or before date night mood setter!
We’ve got a spicy romance author with very little real life experience who’s trying to level up her writing… so she decides it’s time to explore her sexuality for “research purposes.” Enter: her dirty-mouthed best friend Olly (cocky smirk included) and a timid college professor who ends up being a lot less “timid” than expected. You know exactly what kind of ride this is. 😮‍💨

🎧 Audiobook listeners: Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood absolutely understood the assignment. They’re always amazing, but this one had me pausing everything, just standing there, blushing, and listening way too intently.
If you like quick, open-door spicy novellas that have you blushing and wanting more… I definitely recommend listening to this! Be sure to get it direct so you can enjoy the bonus epilogue.. Trust me you’ll be sad you missed it!

Another quick and filthy read from Adele. This one was spicy as heck and I had so much fun reading it. Olly and Lacey were adorable together, I loved their push and pull and clear mutual attraction/love for each other. Then we threw in their naughty professor and things heated up so freaking fast.

This was more of a happy for now, but I could totally see these three spending lazy Sunday mornings in bed together for the rest of forever.

The audio was perfect. Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton are always a fantastic pairing, especially duet style narration. I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Must Love Audio for the advanced copy!!
