Title: ➳ Cravings Author: ➳ Scarlett Se Leva Published February 25th 2021 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ღ Ryan & Simone’s story
They've known each other for as long as they can remember! but things started to changed around Ryan's 11th birthday, that's when he started to realize she was so much more than just his best friend... things only got worse from there as they hit their teen years… six years past before they see each other again , and they have their moment in dark
In the next installment they are in college, and I can only imagine , how much more intense things will be between these two
This is new author to me, and from glimpse of what I read, I’m liking her writing style…. Only thing that I didn’t enjoy was that she gave small teaser of her upcoming book (Wunderland) and now we must wait until July for her full novel…. This is very cruel author…I was left Craving for more!! but all kidding aside this was great read & I can’t wait for the next installment
📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion+ Also I wouldn’t never discourage anyone from reading this book. Happy Reading --- Enjoy
Cravings was a quick read, to give us a taste of Simone and Ryan’s dynamic. They were best friends in childhood, then something happens to cause a rift. When they see one another years later, they still feel that pull. For a short story, there sure is a lot of steam, I mean full blown heat. If you enjoy friends to enemies to lovers, then pick up this little prequel and get ready for Wunderland coming out in July.
In the super quick read ‘Cravings’ we are given a taste of Simone and Ryan’s dynamic. What caused the rift between the two and that they still feel that pull towards one another.
The steam in this short read was so good. Really good. Great. Fantastic. Catch my drift?
This was a real tease! The writing was great, the story was intriguing and the craving it left me for WUNDERLAND was HUGE!! I can't wait to know what will happen to Ryan and Simone!!
I am not usually don't read a lot of romantic suspense story. I was surprised. It was short, intriguing and the pages turned. The characters were captivating.
Ryan and Simone were once childhood best friends turned enemies, but still having a strong magnetic pull towards each other. For a short story there is a metric ton of sexual heat between Simone and Ryan. Ryan doesn't wait to lose his chance with Simone, and just takes it...of course without her objecting. I was definitely left craving more from the story. I can't wait until the next installment into the series. If it's anything like this prelude....it'll be explosive.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Teaser for Wunderland - The story gives you a glimpse into Ryan and Simone's childhood. Leaves you wanting to find out what happens next. Looking forward to checking out Wunderland!
This is certainly a short story. It’s a prequel, which is good, and there to tempt the reader to buy the longer story this summer. The story delivers a lot of steam, even if it’s in a small package. It’s a fast read and when the steam hits, it’s hard.
That said, this felt like a prequel and felt rushed. It felt like there should be more to it. Granted, there is a longer story coming, but this one just…it’s quick. There is a bit of detail and I started to sort of get the idea of the characters, but it still came across as a scene, a tiny bit and I wasn’t entirely sure where it would be going. There is a teaser for the next story, which is good, but the emphasis at the beginning on Ryan and Simone being kids made the story come across as a YA at first and this isn’t YA. Still, the hot scene is hawt and it’s a good precursor to the larger one coming.
If you want something quick and hot, then this might be the story for you. It’s a good introduction to the author’s writing style and has a hot scene that will certainly scorch the screen.
21 pages, pretty short, but it's a prelude! I did have a lot of questions when the story was over. I don't know if that was on purpose, or to make people curious about the book.
I'm not so sure about the hot and steamy scenes. I felt like it was a bit rushed and some parts felt a bit awkward too with the choice of words.
What I did love where the flashbacks. That way you get more history on the main characters. And I always feel like flashbacks add an extra layer; that's what it also did for this story. And, hey! Flashbacks in a 21-page story is pretty well done!
Ooooo it’s going to be a good one! Cravings is a short little teaser to introduce you to the characters and prepare you for the novel being released in July. The background of the two main characters is very intense and complicated. My heartstrings are pulled tight and I can’t wait for the release of Wunderland in July! I have to know how it ends up for Simone and Ryan! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Thank you to Scarlett Se Leva and Goodreads.com I won this book in a Giveaway.
I felt that the first part was very well written and left me very intrigued. The second part was a little more immature and high schoolish it was still fun to read. While I didn't buy the book right away at the end, it's definitely on my tbr list. Sounds good !
Cravings is a that wonderful lead up to what is yet to come. You get to know just a little bit of the dynamics that is Simone and Ryan. A quick read will having wanting to know what happens next. I cannot wait for Wunderland and see what happens to Simone and Ryan next.
Well, it was steamy to be so short. I gave it 3 stars because I am still interested and might read Wunderland. It could have easily been read much more quickly but just too much going on right now. 😜
