Cherry Poppers #4
Wild Cherry
They're smooth-talking jocks.
She's the one that got away.
A problem only a second chance at love can fix.
I'm Elle. Broken-hearted and just another plain, ordinary girl with her feet firmly on the ground. But secretly I burn inside and out to be the woman between them.
It wasn't always like that. I left them two years ago out of fear of how I felt toward two men. Now that I have a second chance, I hope I find the courage to shed my inhibitions.
Jace and Cade are my darkest secrets, my deepest desires. As pro football players who personify the perfect balance of rugged masculinity with gorgeous good looks, they could have their pick of women.
But they chose me.
They are built for sin with hard bodies chiseled into perfection from years on the field and willing to teach me their wicked ways. I’ve never been lust-drunk before, but they’ve stolen all my good sense.
But lust and love are worlds apart. Right? Can I find my happily-ever-after with my ex-boyfriend and his best friend or are they playing me and are only in it for another touchdown?
Author's Naughty Note: The series name says it all! Completely over-the-top and totally insta-lust the second they have their woman in hand. Pro football players and billionaires in their own right, these men don’t understand the meaning of slow. Get your binge read on and settle in for a totally off the charts second-chance romance. As always with a Penelope Wylde book, you'll get the filthy, naughty bits you crave with the perfect happily ever after you love.

Fast pace and sone steam.
Elle is feeling down since her ex was a jerk and said some hurtful things that has her now dressed to impress and at a high rich club with rich people. And there she runs into another ex that got away and her crush his best friend who happen go save her from the jerk of an ex. Jace and Cade had it all looks, fame and they lost the one thing both love their girl, now they have her again and ready to make her theirs. But it isn't easy since Elle loves to run away. No really I was annoyed because thats what she did alollttt that it ruined the relationship for me. :/ if she wasn't so run away I would have rated it higher.
No ow drama slight om drama (her ex), no cheating, tiny drama, Sexy times, no virgins (she dated but she lost her vcard to Cade)and sorta playboys (they dated and screwed with others)
Recommend- maybe

August 11, 2024
Elle (h23) struggles with self-doubt after a harsh breakup with her ex, Michael, who criticized her for being too boring. Determined to prove to herself that she can be spontaneous and exciting, Elle heads to an exclusive club where she unexpectedly runs into Michael, but just as things turns ugly, she is rescued by Jace (H) and Cade (H), two men from her past with whom she once had romantic connections. Jace and Cade, who have always been close and shared romantic interests, make it clear that they still have feelings for Elle and want to rekindle their relationship with her. Things quickly heat up for the three, even as Elle struggles with her emotions, unsure whether to pursue a future with Jace and Cade or move on with her life. But this time, the two friends refuse to let her go without a fight. Hot and steamy second chance, ménage, sports romance exploring love, desire, connection, and taking chances.

Cortito y gracioso.
Aunque no es una comedia, los personajes masculinos vivían su vida como si estuvieran pegados a la cadera del otro, como si no pudieran decidir por su propia cuenta, como si fueran un matrimonio de sesenta años. Mientras leía, me hizo pensar en cierta película pedorra de Matt Damon y todo lo que podía hacer era reirme 🤣🙈 .

This was a quick read, and for such a short read it had some substance, which is why I'm giving it four stars. It's actually maybe 3.5 but I decided to round up. To make it really four, the author would have had to take a bit more time to develop the relationships between the characters and show them connecting and talking. The pacing of the story was fast, which is okay, but then at the end it felt too rushed, like the author just wanted to get to the finish line as quickly as possible.
I liked that Elle had history with Cade, which explains why she would trust him so quickly and immediately. She had also been attracted to Jason while dating Cade in college, which confused her. She didn't know that they both wanted her and had decided to approach her about sharing her. I liked that Cole and Jason weren't manwhores despite their success in pro football, and were looking for a woman with whom they could have a committed long-term relationship with. They both thought of Elle as 'the one who got away'; I really, really liked that they had always thought her amazing and beautiful. They had always recognised her worth and never once questioned that she would be right for them: in Chapter 2, which is in Cole's POV, he calls her "the best thing of my life" and laments that "I let the most beautiful soul slip from my fingers because I chased fame and fortune."
What I didn't like what that Elle had left Cade overnight, without a word and without a goodbye, when she left college to go home and help her parents try to salvage their failing business. I didn't understand why Cole blamed himself for her leaving instead of being upset with her. Ghosting a boyfriend is not cool, yo. And Elle seemingly hasn't learnt anything in the last two years, because she still doesn't communicate with Cole and Jason--waits for them to text her instead of just texting them herself, then deciding to slip away AGAIN without any call or text.
So I didn't really like this girl, and didn't feel like she was worthy of Cade and Jason. I liked them very much: they were upfront with her about what they wanted, but she was immature and couldn't sit down and have an adult conversation to save her life. I found it hard to see what Cade and Jason saw in her; she didn't seem that wonderful to me, she never once thought about their feelings or considered how her actions might affect them. "Beautiful soul"? Maybe Cade was just deluding himself.
I needed more relationship development between the three of them and for her to open up to Cade and Jason about her securities. I wanted her to allow herself to be vulnerable to them and for them to reassure her. None of this occurred; as I said, the ending was rushed, the "L" word was waved around when they had only just reconnected. It was way too soon, and I certainly wouldn't admit to loving a person who had ghosted me two years ago AND HAD JUST TRIED TO DO IT AGAIN!!! On the other hand, someone has to say it first, and by admitting their feelings for her, it would show her how serious they are about her and persuade her to stay with them, so... I can see it both ways, but I still thought it was too fast. I thought maybe they were more in love with the idea of Elle than with Elle herself.
To summarise: Loved the heros, disliked the heroine, liked the writing, disappointed in the rushed ending.

Wow, this was sexy and hot! Read it straight thru. Elle left college for a family emergency and never went back. She had been in love with Cade and his friend, Jace. She was young and confused and didn't realize they both wanted her. She's now in Seattle working 2 jobs to try and save money to go back to college. She goes to a classy new club and they see her there. They never knew what had happened to her, but now they were not gonna let her go. Loved this story, their devotion to getting Elle back and the ending!

Just when she accepted that her life was boring, Jace and Cade took her on an adventure that made all her fantasies come true and give her a life she could never have ever dreamt of.

This was a second chance romance with a twist. I liked the ménage aspect of the story and the level of steam. Elle had good chemistry with both Jace and Cade and I liked them all together.

Me gusto esta novela a medias. Tiene escenas explicitas. Me gusto el trio amoroso de Jace, Cade y Elle. Jace y Cade siempre estuvieron enamorados en el primer momento que vieron a Elle, aunque los dos son super protectores de Elle. Elle es una ingenua y tonta.
