ADORED reading Frankie's side of the story! I absolutely loved Jace's POV, but it was amazing reading Frankie's internal struggles and vulnerabilities when she seemed so composed and confident on the outside in his. I feel like a lot of us can relate on some level 😅
This book is sweet, spicy, and the yearning is just top tier. I giggled, swooned and sobbed and I need more! Can't wait for SB's next book to come out! 🖤

This was a fabulous read, lovely story easy to follow with several options of how to read it. Either Frankie’s POV then Jase’s POV or both combines using the chapter prompts. Romance and spice very sensitively done, definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed Frankie’s story. I feel like I related to her deeply in ways.

Fuck Around and Find Out by S.B. Vale was such a fun, addictive read that I absolutely could not put down.

What starts as a seemingly unforgettable one-night stand quickly turns into something much more complicated. Frankie, a London native, lands her dream job in New York City and is ready for a fresh start. But on her very first day, she's hit with the shock of a lifetime—her new boss is Jace, the man she's been unable to stop thinking about since their night together.

The chemistry between Frankie and Jace is undeniable from the very beginning, and every interaction crackles with tension. Their attraction is intense, but acting on it could put both of their careers at risk. The stakes are high, the temptation is real, and neither of them seems capable of walking away.

One of my favorite things about this book was Jace. He wasn't just the swoony, successful MMC—he genuinely cared about Frankie and wanted to support and protect her while still respecting her ambitions and independence. Their relationship felt authentic, emotional, and incredibly satisfying.

If you love workplace romance, forbidden relationships, amazing chemistry, and plenty of spice, this book should absolutely be on your TBR. I was fully invested in Frankie and Jace's story from beginning to end.

A fantastic love story with all the feels, plenty of steam, and characters you'll be rooting for the entire time.

Spice: High
Romance: Off the charts
Recommendation: Highly recommend

I already loved this story, but getting to experience it through Frankie’s perspective added so much more depth. Seeing her inner thoughts, vulnerabilities, and quiet strength made me feel so much more connected to both her and Jace. Moments that felt one way before took on a completely different meaning, and it made me appreciate their relationship even more.

Frankie is such a refreshing heroine…independent, driven, and unapologetically herself. I loved that her ambitions never took a back seat to the romance, and the disability representation felt authentic and thoughtfully woven into her story rather than defining her.

The romance is full of heart, the yearning is beautifully done, and the spice never overshadows the emotional connection. Whether you’ve already read Jace’s POV or you’re picking this up first, Frankie’s side of the story adds so much that it genuinely feels essential. It made me fall in love with these characters all over again.

Frankie is the very definition of a boss ass bitch. She holds no bars and takes no prisoners. She sees what she wants and she goes for it. The way she plainly laid the lines for her relationship with Jace won mad respect from me. I was super happy when she surprised him with the relationship policy when she got promoted. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

I loved reading the story from Frankie’s POV. To be honest, I wasn’t her biggest fan during Jace’s story but understanding what she was thinking and where she was coming from, I grew to really like her.

Just like Jace’s book, this novella was packed with heat, heart and a story that left an impact.

I absolutely love how relatable Frankie is and the representation of a woman with a disability. Also the title is so fitting. Frankie is a no nonsense, take no shit kind of woman. Finally a romance book where a woman has her own career aspirations and isn’t going to let a relationship derail her.

Omg with Frankie’s story we find out more of her side of the story and also how she was feeling. I read Jace’s story and at first I was like Frankie is a bitch how can she treat him like if he’s nothing. But after reading her side of the story we understand her more and how she was actually feeling. she was definitely falling for him and was just so strong and confident in herself that she didn’t show it. But she’s a bad ass finding out through all the health issues she went through makes her a bad ass. I can relate to her because I have to deal with thyroid health problems too so I can completely relate to her story. But also another thing that makes her a bad ass is fighting and making an actual document to be able to be with Jace in a relationship outside of work just proves that she does have a heart and she’s not just a bad ass at work but as a person too.
Overall this book deserves a well 5/5 ⭐️ and lives me with a good lesson never believe one side of a story always ask for both sides as it will help you understand a relationship better.
