Sinful Nights
Cole
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 Nightsis 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.

I loved this! A sweet and fun best friends to lovers story was exactly what I needed right now.
I loved how oblivious Cole and Oakley were. Everyone could see it except them. I loved the Peaches crew being nosy and asking about them, while also trying to get them to see what was happening.
I loved how Oakley always tried to spoil Cole and took him on non-date dates before they knew what they were doing. I loved how their awakening went and how eager they were to try things out. I feel like that openness and eagerness came from their strong bond as friends and their almost 20 year history.
I loved seeing all of the Peaches crew and partners. They are hilarious and I love their little found family. It's great to see the already coupled up people, while also being excited to see the others navigate finding their way in life and their happily ever afters. I love getting to know each character better with every book in this series.
This was lighthearted, low-angst pure fun! I loved reading this and getting to see Cole and Oakley finally realize the depth of their feelings. If a lighthearted best friends to lovers story is your jam, then this is the book for you.

Ughhhh this was so good! I love every book in this series but Cole & Oakleys story might officially be my favorite! I love a best friends to lovers story, make them oblivious to what’s right in front of them and I’m done for. Their story was so sweet, I loved seeing them navigate from friends, to testing the waters, to falling in love. It had clearly been there all along but they just needed a push to see what was right in front of them. Such a good story, I can’t wait to see what comes next!

This is my favorite of the series! I have loved all the previous boys and their stories but Cole and Oakley stole my heart completely.
I’m a sucker for best friends to lovers tropes, especially when they realize they’ve always been in love with each other and always have been each other’s person. And these two are just the best people this could’ve happened to.
Oakley never understood why his relationships never prospered. They always started good but eventually they’d fizzled out either for lack of interest or because they didn’t understand his relationship with Cole. They couldn’t understand how deep their love and friendship was.
Cole basically gave up on relationships. He never found a true connection with them and when it came to intimacy, he saw it as a chore not something he desired. He never thought that he could feel that sexual attraction others felt.
Their friendship was always questioned and scrutinized because of how touchy and close they were. To them it was perfectly normal to kiss each other on the cheek and forehead. People assumed they were a couple but they weren’t.
To them it was just something natural to do and they couldn’t understand why others didn’t see it that way. It wasn’t until someone suggested they kissed for real that they began to wonder if people were right and they could be more than just friends.
Once that line was crossed, a whole new world opened up for them. All the prices finally fell into place making things make sense.
Cole finally understood why he never wanted any connection with someone else. It was because Oakley was his person. He was the one he’s always been waiting for but didn’t know he already had him. Oakley made him understand that it wasn’t that he didn’t like intimacy, it was just that he only wanted it with Oakley. It wasn’t that he couldn’t love anyone, it’s because he was already in love.

For Oakley, it finally dawned on him that he had always been in love with Cole. No matter how many partners he had, he always chose Cole over them. He had never felt the way Cole made him feel. Once he got a taste of him, he knew his life would never be the same.

Here's Ashley Rayne's latest: "Sinful Nights." It's the third novel in her Peaches series.
["Cole
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?"]
These two were adorable as hell! There was virtually zero angst (just in the beginning with yet another girlfriend who doesn't understand Cole's and Oak's relationship). This was all fluff and sweetness and kindness and friendship to all of the extremes. Okay, there was a good deal of spice and oh-that's-why possessiveness/obsessiveness.
Not to mention all of the cameos from previous couples...and new ones. ;)

Sinful Nights is the 3rd stand-alone in Ashely Rayne's Peaches series. You will come across characters that were featured in the first 2 books of the series, but I think Sinful Nights can absolutely be read as a stand-alone.
In Sinful Nights we get Cole and Oakley's story. Cole is a dancer at Peaches and Oakley is his best friend. They have been best friends since they were 5 years old. From the first day they met, it has been them as a pair.
Cole and Oakley have always considered themselves as straight and they are just best friends.
Cole and Oakley are best friends that don't realize they are already in a relationship. What’s normal for them is not for most others. However, in separate conversations they each have with others, the idea of kissing each other comes up. It is something neither ever considered, and even balked at.
But, once they kiss, all of the doors between them open up. Even as they begin to have sex, they still don't realize they are in a relationship. That takes more conversations to get to that realization.
The way they care 1st for the other is beautiful. I love that there wasn’t any weird feelings because these new feelings were with their best friend.
Cole and Oakley are the sweetest angels that I want to protect with everything I am. I continue to fall in love with each dancer at Peaches as well.
Steam: 3.5/5
Fun: 4/5
Overall: 4/5

I love reading Ashley'S books i can never get enough. I got to Beta read it and then got a finished copy to read and it was a 5 star read first then still a 5 star read as i finished reading the arc. This one i was so excited about because Cole and Oakley are just too adorable and their chemistry was burning and on fire. This story continues the dancer Cole and his best friend and roommate Oakley. The coworkers and family dynamic from the previous books involving all the dancers are still very much shown and its my favorite to read them all together yet again. For new story. My favorite part is the Peaches which is the name of the place where they all work. Its their texting chat i love their chats it is one of my favorite to see happen throughout the 3 books. Cole and Oakley are so oblivious to their feelings when they start kissing and advances to doing more. I enjoy how they are so comfortable with each other that one can just climb into bed with the other and feel at ease.
“Keep your eyes on me. I want you to see what you do to me,”
“I’ve experienced nothing like that before. I’ve tried with others, and it always felt wrong. Like something was missing, or I don’t know, I just didn’t enjoy it.” My fingers find their way to the back of his head, playing with the short hairs at the nape of his neck. “But with you, I enjoyed all of it. And I want more. I want to do what we just did again.”

MY FAVOURITE COUPLE OF THE SERIES!💕🍑☔️🎧
🫦Bisexual awakening
🫦Demi Rep
🫦Best Friends to Lovers
🫦Found Family Aspect
🫦Game Nights
🫦Lingerie Kink
“We’re like yin and yang.”
“Or puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly.”
I absolutely love this series and Cole and Oakley are my absolute favourites by how sweet and obviously in love with each other they are- everybody can see it- except them- until Bash opens Cole’s eyes one night…
“we should try to kiss and see what happens?”
“Okay, let’s try it.”
Cole had always felt safe with his best friend Oakley and never bothered to attempt relationships as they always ran cold with blah sex but after that kiss things escalated for them from always being tactile with each other- to can’t stop kissing and touching and exploring new things with each other… things they have never tried before with the same sex… 🍆💦✋🫦
Col’s Demi rep was depicted with so much emotion, beautifully and Oakley’s continued presence and support of his dancing at Peaches was so sweet and awe inspiring 🫠
I loved their wild and sweet journey to discovering what everyone saw and thought and finally seeing the apples for the 🍑🌳!😉
I loved how the found family is growing with all the partners of the club staff and how supportive they are!
I look forward to so much more from this series with sassy Bash being next with a forbidden past…🤫

MY OPINION: The third book in the series revolves around the Peaches strip club. I’ve enjoyed all these books, and this one slips in nicely. These books are all easy-to-read love stories.
Oakley and Cole are the best of friends. They cuddle, they play, they tickle. Oak is always there for him; they support each other no matter what, comfort each other when necessary, and if forced to choose between anybody and the other, they pick each other.
They are also oblivious to their own relationship. I like that we get to know each man well. We see how they feel about each other. There are so many little moments between them, but they don’t see it; they don’t know anything different, having been best friends since they were in grade school.
In a lot of ways, we are a fly on the wall, seeing what they don’t see themselves. Right from the beginning, we can see it. The story walks us through their awakening in the bedroom, but not so much about their identity. They realize how they feel about each other.
There are some great spicy moments because once they get a taste, they want it all. All the time. Constantly. Overall, this was a wonderful addition to the Peaches series. You get to hear more about the dancing and see how, when they realize their attraction, they are almost relieved. These books don’t need each other to be read, but there are plenty of cameos from the friends that give it depth. You get a happily ever after and have fun getting to know two great men.

Sinful Nights is the third book in the Peaches series by Ashley Rayne. This is a fun found family series that follows a group of dancers at the Peaches club. While this is the third book in the series, it is a stand alone novel and can be read without reading the other books first.
Cole and Oakley have been best friends since they were five years old. They are basically inseparable, living together, spending their time together, but not working together. Cole is a dancer at Peaches. Although, when he is there, Oakley always goes to cheer him on, even though he is straight. Oakley has trouble keeping girlfriends because they cannot compete with his closeness with Cole and Cole just never has any girlfriends.
When comments from friends have Cole and Oak looking at each other in a new light, they begin to wonder if there is something more to their close friendship. This is an adorable, best friends to lovers story. I enjoyed Cole and Oakley’s relationship before and after they decided to kiss. The friendship and companionship they have for each other is really wonderful. I also love the found family dynamic of the Peaches crew. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I have just loved this series so far. All the guys have been so so fun....their little found family is perfect, i just love the dynamic of everyone. Peaches group chats for the win!!!! Love how you threw those in throughout they are so fun!
Oak and Cole. My goodness i just loved them so much! The best friends/childhood friends to lovers is such a loved trope by me. You wrote their story so beautifully. I loved the friendship background so we truly know just how much these 2 have always been eachothers person. Love the demi rep!!! Silly boys, not realizing for so long that they are truly soul mates. They are just so darn adorable and the love for eachother was so well written, and oh my...Naughty 🥵🔥
A story of realizing your person has always been right there! Two pieces of a puzzle connecting!
I really don't want to throw out spoilers of their journey together outside of the little tidbits I added to my picture. Such beautiful, sweet moments. 🌻⛺️
I can't wait for the rest of this series to be released! You're amazing Ashley! Thank you for this beautiful story that kept me smiling the whole time! Don't miss out on this series y'all!

Cole Simon Turner (23), dancer at Peaches, a strip club
Oakley Michael Albury (23), work-from-home customer service representative
This is the third book in a series of interconnected books but stands alone fairly well, though there is a fairly decent sized cast of characters that can be a little difficult to keep track of at times (even having read the other books, albeit months ago).
The fact that I kept getting distracted and it took me three days to read a book that is under 200 pages is what ultimately turned this into a three-star read for me. Usually I'm an absolute sucker for idiots in love and/or they were dating all along, but this was just missing something, I didn't feel fully engaged or invested.
That said, I liked the characters and was rooting for them. They were so sweet together and I found myself kicking my feet when they finally kissed. I adored all of the romantic dates Oak came up with for Cole, each and every one was swoon-worthy. This book was pure no angst fluff. I'm looking forward to reading Bash's story next.

The fact that I kept getting distracted and it took me three days to read a book that is under 200 pages is what ultimately turned this into a three-star read for me. Usually I'm an absolute sucker for idiots in love and/or they were dating all along, but this was just missing something, I didn't feel fully engaged or invested.
That said, I liked the characters and was rooting for them. They were so sweet together and I found myself kicking my feet when they finally kissed. I adored all of the romantic dates Oak came up with for Cole, each and every one was swoon-worthy. This book was pure no angst fluff. I'm looking forward to reading Bash's story next.
I was given an ARC and voluntarily wrote an honest review.

Thank you very much Gay romance reviews for the arc!
We're back at peaches! For the latest installment in the series.
Oakley and Cole have been featured in the series, they have been the ones that the others talk about. Their "friendship" is unique, to say the least.
They have been best friends since childhood, doing everything together. It only made sense that they are roommates as adults.
From their movie nights spent cuddling on the couch, to late night gaming where they end up sharing a bed.
Oakley even shows up to nearly every nightshift that Cole works, supporting him in his profession.
He also has been having trouble with his past girlfriends accepting their unique dynamic. For some reason 😂
These two were so good together, the push and pull?? How they figured out things together, was everything.
It was very low on the angst, just high on the adorable confusion and slight denial these two had going on.
I loved the demisexual representation, and how Cole struggled in the past with relationships. The two guys were so perfect for each other.
Also the group chat with all the guys in it is great. They're sassy, but their hearts are in the right place.

Firstly, let me say I got this book from gay romance reviews and this is me leaving my honest review.
This is a brand-new author to me and I have got to say I look forward to reading more because this book was just utterly beautiful. It was about two friends Cole and Oakley they had been friends since they were five. They’ve gone through college roommates. they now live together and they always had this rule that women wouldn’t impact their time together. When they did date the girlfriends didn’t understand the relationship that Cole and Oakley had. They were like an old married couple but they both came across as straight men. But when they were out, they always came across as a couple they were touchy-feely and never had a problem with that. So when their friends suggested that they kissed to see if there was a spark they agreed and that was the start of everything.
This book is so beautiful Oakley and Cole had no problem exploring their sexuality. And once they started to explore it was like a new world was open. The kiss is electric. The passion between them is off the chart. It is just an utterly beautiful read.

Review of advance copy
Ashley is another one of my favorite low angst authors who’s books are just lovely to read and I love how spicy they always are, lol.
This one was just fun to read. Two best friends absolutely in love basically their whole lives who finally decide to kiss one day…and the rest is history!
It was really that simple, but I loved reading about their friendship first and how touchy feely they were as “just best friends”. Their devotion to each other was so evident. Soul mates indeed.
I loved how Oak supported Cole at peaches, cheering him on, always a confidence lifter.
The Demi rep with Cole was great. The explanation of his feelings was in depth, how he never has really been into sex…until THE KISS! Whoop!
Cole and Oak’s journey after the kiss is spice heavy and I freaking loved it. I really liked how Cole’s lack of a sexual journey played into it, with Oak wanting to show Cole how good it can be. And both their nervousness over trying things that were new to both of them had me giddy.
One of my favs from this series me thinks!

This is the third book in the Peaches series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone read. This is the first book in this series that I have read and I was able to enjoy it without feeling lost or that I was missing something. This is the story of Cole and Oakley. These two have been best friends since they were five. They have also been roommates since leaving home. Cole is a dancer at Peaches and Oakley is usually in the audience cheering him on. While both men identify as straight, everyone who knows them believes that they are in a relationship. Their lives are so interwoven that they are actually in a relationship but they have no clue that they are in one. This is their story. The book is written well and is easy to read. I received a complementary advanced review copy of this book from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Cole and Oakley are just so sweet together. And once they finally realize it for what it is, their chemistry is off the charts. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one in the series.

3.5/5 stars 3.5/5 spice
This was a really cute, fluffy, no angst romance. I thought there was going to be a little drama but it was totally drama free.
This was just two childhood best friends deciding to finally kiss after everyone thinking that they’re together and discovering how much they like it and then realising how deeply in love with each other they are. They did very sweet gestures and surprises for one another and always supported each other.
I normally love a confrontational, possessive MMC but that scene at the club with Oak and the table of drunk guys was one of my favourites. It was a complete green flag and how someone who puts you first should react.
I liked that we go to know some of the other guys from Peaches more like Bash. He’s story definitely sounds interesting and I’m glad his book is next now.

I received this ARC for my honest opinion. Sinful Nights by Ashley Rayne was a fun, fabulous and addicting read. Cole and Oakley story was one I was waiting for. Being best friends forever and getting jealous of each others partners over the years because they wanted to spend time with each other. They were completely oblivious to the fact that they were each others romantic partner. The forehead kisses, to supporting each other, to sleeping in the same bed, and so much more. Their friends and family say it before them. Bash and Cole talked about what if Cole kissed Oakley. That is what started the realization for both Cole and Oakley. This was such a sweet story and I was addicted to it. I could not have put it down. I binged read the entire book in a few hours. I love the sweetness they have for each other and the family they built for themselves. I am excited for the next in the series which is Bash. I highly recommend reading the series and reading all of Ashley's stories.

Ashley Rayne is that author you pick up when you just want a feel good story, and Sinful Nights is a perfect example. The book is part of her Peaches series. While it can stand alone, why wouldn’t you want to read all the books about this fantastic cast of characters? This story has besties-to-lovers, double bi-awakening, and no angst.
Cole and Oak have been best friends since they were 5. They are super close. Roommates who cuddle and do everything together. But, despite everyone assuming they are a couple, they’ve never considered it. Until they do…
This story is super low angst. It’s a quick read with two main characters who are cute apart but adorable together. Loved their whole friendship vibe and it only improved once romance was on the table. The book has the perfect amount of heat, and the way their relationship evolved was well done. Also loved seeing them both with the other cast of characters. Can’t wait for whoever’s story is next.

This was the sweetest friends-to-lovers romance ever. Cole and Oakley have been best friends since they were five years old—the stuck-to-the-hip, do-everything, go-everywhere-together type of friends. In fact, most people think they're dating because they do things like hold hands, kiss each other's foreheads, and cuddle. To them, those are just normal things best friends do. One day, they decide to kiss based on a friend's suggestion, and they both feel things they've never felt before when kissing the girls they've dated. Then they start taking things further but still don't realize they are in a relationship. Cole and Oakley are just absolutely adorable. I love how they both care for each other and are always there for each other. They aren't afraid to communicate openly, and I think that's why their relationship was so beautiful. I loved seeing everyone from the Peaches family again, and I can't wait to read Bash's story next!

I am such a complete and total sucker for a friends to lovers story and this one did not disappoint! The little glimpses at Cole and Oak in the previous books had left me positively salivating for their story, so I devoured this one with unchecked glee. It was actually pretty funny how it utterly in denial the two of them were about the fact that they were in love with each other. It was nice that there was no angst or drama around their developing friendship, but these two chuckleheads were just totally thinking that it is completely normal buddy behaviour to kiss and makeout and suck the dick of your best buddy. They were basically planning their entire lives together and then it finally dawned on them that they were in love. Also love seeing the Demi representation in Cole!

Sweet, low angst, double bi-awakening
Cole and Oakley's story is oblivious friends to lovers and, oh boy, were those two obtuse! Everyone else in the world could see it but not them.
There honestly isn't much to say about this book because the blurb says it all. That's the whole story. No angst. No miscommunication. No third act breakup. Just two men who've basically been in love with each other since they met at five years old. The only thing not mentioned in the blurb is how quickly and easily they ramped up their fond, platonic physicality to scorching hot, very frequent sex. Ducks to water, anyone?!!
I've loved seeing the boys from Peaches in this series, and the group continue to be such fun. Their obvious affection for one another is underpinned by the group chat and their game nights. I can't wait for Bash's book next.

This was a really sweet book! I loved Cole and Oak throughout this series and I am so glad that they get their own book. These two have been best friends for years and have always picked each other over anyone else. These two have been teased about them not being together as they have a very close connection and amazing chemistry. One night, things change and both are very happy about it. Oak and Cole are wonderful together and while I am glad that they get their HEA, I did want to shake them at some points in this book and yell “just talk to each other!” Awesome book and I am looking forward to more ASAP!

Sinful Nights by Ashley Rayne is book 3 in the Peaches series. I have not read the previous books in this series, but I am very intrigued by the characters that I met here. I loved Cole and Oakley though at times I got so frustrated by their obliviousness- lol. However, the payoff was great once they realized that they actually loved each other more than just as best friends. Once the kissing started, it was on. I am dying for Caleb and Declan’s story. But most of all, I want to read Bash’s. The little teaser we got here about what may have happened has me wanting his story immediately. I really enjoyed this author and the story. I will be back to see what she brings next.

Oak and Cole are so oblivious. They are besties who live together. They spend a lot of time together and physical acts of affection between them are natural. They sleep in one another's bed when sleep is elusive and feel comforted by one another's presence. And although others see their connection they have continued to want to believe that they are straight. Oak dates women and the relationships do not work out. Cole has not dated in a while. They finally cross the line with a kiss and come to realize that they are what each of them really wants in a partner. Their awakening took a while but in the meantime they were in the right place. With one another. They were clueless and fun to read about.

Sinful Nights ( Peaches Series Book 3 ) oh my gosh !! This series really does just keep getting better and better. I have to say this just night my favorite installment yet . Cole and Oakley - I absolutely adored these two so so much. The way their friendship turned into so much more then either was expecting. I loved how they were best friends since five years of age and how they never let anything or anyone get in the middle of that . The way they supported one another through the good and the bad . Their story really did touch my heart . It was fun , it was steamy , it was sweet and extremely beautiful and emotionally charged

What a great book and great series…this one made my heart swoon. I loved the characters, Cole and Oak, two life long best friends who are about to have an awakening. I love how the author created the back story so we would really invest in them, but more importantly i loved that these two have been looking for love in all the wrong places. In fact, it was in front of them the entire time, just need to experiment with a kiss to unlock all those thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The book is proof that sometimes when it comes to love we can be clueless and it is stating us in the face. I so want to go to this strip club and hang out with these men.

I had a blast reading this book! A perfect rom-com, with adorable besties who don’t realize they’re in love, their new found family and all the feels! 💕
I adored Cole and Oakley! They were so freaking sweet together. Their unbreakable bond, the care and tenderness toward each other.. just so precious! 🥺
These two loved each other fiercely and I loved how they never questioned that love deepening and changing. They just wanted to be close and experience everything together🥹 I loved them so much. 💕
I love the found family they have with their Peaches crew and I truly can’t wait to go back to see them all again soon. Beyond excited to see what’s next!! 🥰

I love this book the series is really great but I especially love this book. It was so unbelievably cute and both the main characters are adorably oblivious. I thought it was very well written, it flowed well the pacing was great and it was captivating. I have to say I really do love the diverse and quirky side characters and can’t wait to read their stories in the future. There were a couple of things that happened in this book that I did not see coming but was absolutely here for it like Sue and Julie if you want to know what I’m talking about I suggest you read it because I refuse to give any spoilers on principle but let me just say this book is worth it!

This bi-awakening was such a fun, low angst, and my romance. It's fast-paced and so easy to devour with all the cuteness fluff. The demi representation was spot on.
Cole and Oakley are just the most adorable idiots in love. How they went from best friends to lovers was just so sweet and steamy. They were dating without even realizing it, and I couldn't wipe the giant smile off my face.
