THIS BOOK WAS FILTHY! And I honestly loved all of the filth! So happy to see Cash and Adriana finally get their happily ever after. If there was one couple in this series that deserved it, it was definitely them. I loved that Shae Sanders didn't make everything perfect because it wouldn't have been representative of their relationship. Clearly, they’re still wondering how they're going to make marriage work because they don't have anything in common. It goes to show that society doesn't really allow us to believe that opposites can make things work. They had to finally acknowledge that while they didn't have a whole lot in common, their relationship was beyond their sexual chemistry. They truly did care about each other and whether they made each other happy. This was sweet and endearing with enough spice and heat that still allowed Sanders to keep their characters true to who they were.

I'm pretty sure I need to go to alter prayer after reading this book because, chiiiiiiiiiile Dre and Cash cranked up their nasty shenanigans in Before I Do. I knew these two surpassed the freak level but, I was not expecting what went down in that hotel room. I was shooketh y'all here me?!!! Both Dre and Cash have alpha personalities so, I love that they're not afraid to express their insecurities with each other without judgment. Outside of the bedroom, Dre and Cash are still real and honest with each other. Their acceptance of one another is refreshing. Cash is still a hood ninja with no filter and Dre is still a bougie independent suburbanite who refuses to change her ways. Before I Do was the perfect conclusion to Dre and Cash's love journey. They may not have anything in common with each other but, their chemistry is fire and they have a deep love for the each other that's everything.

Dre & Cash

This couple finally stopped playing and found their way to HEA….Adrienne and Cash were from two different worlds, but they found some common ground and decided to actually give love a chance.

CASH AND DRE! So ya’ll nasty, nasty huh! Damn! I knew they were some freaks, but I was not expecting that turn of events! Whew! Got my heart racing this time of morning. 😊 Both Cash and Dre, have strong personalities. So, it was nice to see them talk out their feelings, when they had doubts about their lives together. They were so damn cute! From the outside, they seem to have nothing in common. Their chemistry is 🔥, and they have a deep love and understanding for the other that is everything! So, happy that you gave us this recap on my favorite couple from the On the Clock Series. Hopefully, we get to see more of the other couples as well. Great read! 👍👍👍

Of course this book start not how I expected and I love every minute of it! Shae can write because I’m still trying to figure out how this only 40 pages?! This novella was the perfect ending for Cash and Dre!

Ahem

Chile STEAMY! I must say I was OK with how Cash and Dre left it. But this was the conclusion I didn't know I needed. I love that Cash is still him and I love how he communicates with Dre. There were some errors in the book but it didn't distract from the great story. Short and sweet.

Perfection. Cash and Dre are as nasty as ever but there is this love, understanding and acceptance of one another that just makes me swoon. This was a short but it packed one helluva punch and wrapped up my fave couples story perfectly. Loved it.

Dre and Cash left me speechless with the hotel scene. The wedding I believe showed their growth because their difference was a hurdle for them but they overcame it. I believe one of my favorite couples out of all the books.

I love Dre and Cash so much. These two are certified freaks, but the love they have for each other tops that and that’s saying a lot.

This one took me alllll the way out. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I knew it would be off the chain with Dre and Cash. They delivered just as I expected. I’m still deciding if I’m intrigued by these two or just plain baffled! I love them nonetheless together.

HEA follow-up to Shift Change. These two freaks remain remain wonderfully filthy as they head toward holy matrimony: in the first damn paragraph, Dre befriends one of the strippers from her bachelorette party, and she invites her to a threesome with her and Cash. I clutched my pearls only a couple times, I swear; this was very delightful, and it was nice to see Dre and Cash having aligned themselves into a long-term relationship without sacrificing who they are.

Finally!!!

Cash and Dre are back and before they tie the knot, they have a night to remember. Days before their big day, Cash and Dre have doubts, but after talking about them, their doubts disappeared. Now let's talk about that night they had, it was so freaking hot. I mean, this was the best sex scene I have read. Did I say it was hot, I did, but you will have to read it for yourself to see how hot. Cash and Dre are such a great couple and I loved how there story started and ended. When Cash gave his speech at their wedding, I loved him even more. Shae, this book was good and Cash and Dre relationship hit different!!! Hell of a read!!!

4.5/5⭐️4/5🌶
- This review will kinda be a spoiler for shift change fyi. I really did not think Dre and Cash would be getting married! Like omggg but im still here for it.

- This is like the final final book for Dre and Cash. They learn to love their differences and pour they love and chemistry into they relationship and im not mad at it. They even had a talk about it on some mature shit! It was actually perfect. Cash matured in a way and so did Dre. Remember when I said she was bougie she still is but she realized that the ideal man she had in her head was right there if she got past the bougie ways.

- Definitely recommend !

Dre and Cash were first introduced in Shae Sanders’ On the Clock novella series in the novella, Shift Change. They appeared again in the holiday collection, Naughty or Nice. “Before I Do” places us back in their world as they prepare to say their ‘I do’s’ but if you know Cash and Dre, you know that it is never that cut and dry. The book started off wild in true Cash and Dre fashion. They say opposites attract and that is definitely true for these two. This was a short, sexy, and sweet read. I love these two characters and have enjoyed seeing their growth and love flourish.

My favorites!!!

Cash and Dre were my favorite couple from this series so I didn’t hesitate to preorder it when I saw the link! Despite already getting an update on them in the Christmas book, I was still looking forward to more and the author delivered! Times ten!! And I still can’t get enough of these two! This was a quick but beautiful read and the story had just the right amount of nasty!! Great job!!

Happily ever after Cash and Dre style!

There's was never a hearts and flowers romance, so I didn't expect all sweetness leading up to their nuptials! But what I did expect, and have come to realize is the norm for a Shae Sanders release, is smoking hot scenes, chemistry, and a little character growth thrown in to balance it out! And this story was no exception! Definitely a new favorite author of mine!

Perfection 🥰

The most unlikely two made it to the alter and it was every woman’s dream partner! Cash and Dre are the couple of the 21st century and I’m here for it all🥰. Their relationship was hot from start to finish and I can imagine their future as beautiful as the start❤️🔥🍾. Ms.Sanders has penned a hot one!

Cash & Dre 🔥🔥🔥

I didn’t like the threesome thing!!! Cash and Dre are fire enough without needing to add anyone else to the mix. They have an overflow of sexual chemistry. Their chemistry is unlike any other book couple. I think it’s because of their genuineness. They allow each other to just be who they are and it’s refreshing.

Hood and Bougie Come Together

Cash and Dre don’t do anything by halves, including getting married. They’re still off the chain alone and as a couple. This short gives them a wedding-centered happily-ever-after with the real talk and steam from before, while deepening their relationship as well.

Cash x Dre

I can't with these two. These two were just nastyyyyyyyy. But in the best way 😉 I meannnnnn I was not expecting Dre to be on the type of time she was on, but sis was all about keeping her man & herself happy. I loved how when these two weren't sexing they were loving & building emotionally together. Dre reassured Cash that he had the rest of their lives to make love to her & he didn't need to fit everything in one night. I also loved the speech Cash gave to Dre at their wedding. It really had me tearing up because this man loved his woman 🥰🥰 this was the perfect ending to their story.

I find myself gravitating towards short and (not so) sweet novellas, and this was everything I needed it to be. Dre and Cash are super sexy and so in love, and there is nothing like a hood man falling in love unabashedly. Absolutely wonderful!

Well Dang

Well, that was a bit unexpected, in a way, yet not too much. These 2 freaks, in the nastiest way😜, are more than meant for each other.

This was a really quick catch up and it was funny and exciting. I truly like Cash and Adrianna.

Now to go back and read the books I skipped😏.

Chiiiiiile, this book was NASTY and I loved Every. Word. Of It. Adriana aka Dre and Cash freak level is off the charts! I love how Cash made an effort to evolve and realized it was the result of a good woman that triggered that change. I love them together and was so happy to see them get married to one another. I am keeping this book in my read again pile just to read the filthy sex again in the future! LOL.

Whew child!

Hot, steamy, sexy romance that was straight up nasty. Cash and Dre didn’t have a whole lot in common, but their sexual chemistry was off the chain. Definitely in line with “The On The Clock series”.
