The Sweetest High: A Novella

Rate this book
Bianca Darling just hit the dirty thirty club and has decided that she’s done living a quiet, bland life. Especially when it comes to sex. After going without having her sexual appetite fulfilled for so long and at times, struggling with her confidence thanks to an ex, she’s ready to set off the third week of her thirties with a really big bang. So when her best friend suggests a short bucket list of things to help her come out of her shell, Bianca jumps at the chance to explore her unknown desires. Excited, she slips on her big girl thong as she prepares to get down and dirty. But before she could even follow through with the first item on her list, doubt has her ready to concede defeat and try again in her forties. Though, as luck would have it, she gets a little nudge from an unexpected piece of eye candy and suddenly, operation “Bring out the freak” is back on and he’s taken the wheel as she rides shotgun…and him. Will a walk on the wild side be the worst thing to ever happen to Bianca or will conquering the irresistibly adventurous new version of herself become the sweetest high she’s ever known…

Ever since the moment he met Bianca, Derulo St. James, wanted her. He’d developed this unexplainable craving for her that he didn’t know what to do with. Her smile and thighs alone had him hypnotized from their first encounter and everything in between captured his undivided attention. But because their careers sometimes allowed them to run in the same circles and even provide their services to the same clients, Derulo decided that due to the closeness of their careers and because Bianca just always seemed extremely preoccupied with her own thoughts, that it was in his best interest to steer clear of her. Though when a bizarre twist of fate lands them together on a warm summer night, desires are discovered and fed heavily night after night…after night. Derulo flips caution to the wind and doesn’t hesitate to fill Bianca with every single craving he’s ever had for her. Can a few wild nights in paradise lead to something real or will the ultimate high be forever out of his reach…

About the author

India T. Norfleet

70 books212 followers
Detroit Born and raised, India Tasheena Norfleet became an avid reader at a young age and eventually was never seen without a book. While India begin reading a wide array of books of many different genres, it was during the late nineties that India was introduced to African American fiction and fell completely in love with stories from the African American perspective. Romance very quickly became her favorite genre. By the time she entered high school, India had no other dream bigger than becoming a bestselling romance author and poet.

As years progressed to adulthood, dreams of becoming a writer fell by the wayside as doubt consumed her and the real world set in, but writing romance never left her heart. Family and friends, as well as some of her favorite authors continued to encourage her to never give up on something she was so passionate about. So in the summer of 2010, India finally sat down to pen what would become her first novel, Playing For Keeps. India has fourteen books to date (romance & erotica) and is currently signed to Danielle Marcus Presents! India lives in suburban Michigan and is hard at work on her next novel!

Let me say this and I am looking for straight up f****** India t. Norfleet is my girl.... But I need spice in my life miss ma'am is my girl. This read gave me everything and lift me hot under the collar most definitely. Derulo All I gotta say is that man that man that man, If BDE had a pitcher bad the acronym in the dictionary that man's face will be plaster next to it. He could talk me out of my for real panties and me day. I would have been just like Bianca Casino he could smack flipping and rub it down anywhere. My girl was sent and vice versa because she was given as good as she got Bianca was nothing to play with She might have had Her insecurities and Her Moments but that girl knew what She was working with when She was fully appreciated by a man. This book was just a fine good time. You aint never ready get you a bottle of water saddle app and get ready for the Rocky ride of your life with these 2 because he turned her ever which way but loose and I was here for it.

meh

Now, I like the books that I’ve read so far by you, but this one is a no! You used soaking, wet, and a few other words so much it seemed like it was in every other sentence repetitively. I couldn’t even get myself into the book like I wanted to because some of the storyline was just outlandish. I came from TikTok right on over to kindle unlimited to read your books. I couldn’t make myself finish it. I’m am looking forward to reading more of your books. I’m still giving you four ⭐️

Not for me

Not much to this one. Bianca and Derulo know each other from having met through work, but never dated due to her being in a relationship and them not really knowing each other. Bianca gets out of her relationship and is ready to get her sexy back. What takes place is just her and Derulo going at it any and everywhere over and over again! It was entertaining the first couple of times then it was just them doing it every other page. Just kinda became old hat after a while.

Fire!!!

Short, Sweet and Extra spicy is how I like all.my erotica. That's exactly whay India gave and I'm here for it all. Derulo was more than a handful in every sense of the word and I'm glad Bianca was able to hold her own. A match made in heaven and I would love more from them. Besides burning through these pages with their sexscapades they had undeniable chemistry and love had bloomed between the two. Can't wait for more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The spice was everything! Derulo & Bounce were a match made in heaven.

This book teaches you to embrace yourself and your body. Flaws and all. It teaches you that one man's trash is truly another man's treasure.

The Epilogue was quite satisfying to me because Bounce definitely needed a taste of reality and a little tough love from Derulo.

I think you'll thoroughly enjoy this quick paced Novella.

Happy Reading! 📚

Derulo ….whew!!

India continues to write some of the sexiest, hottest , and even sweetest Erotica, and I love every bit of it. Derulo and Bianca are two people who have crushed on each other from afar, but when opportunity presents itself, they waste no time with expressing their feelings for each other ! I hope we get a part two because I have questions!!

Tingling sensation

Whew, with each touch, I could feel it in the pit if my stomach. The act of love and appreciation was the icing on the cake.

All that passion stored, erupted the moment they touched.

It took years for it to come to fruition, but great things comes to those that wait.

These two were hot and steamy. Derulo knew exactly how to handle Bianca and she needed someone who could match her energy. This was a good read and if you enjoy steamy reading this one is for you.

D with the D

Now Mr St James knew what he was doing when he had our good sis Bianca falling hard in lust and love. I do like the fact that he was instantly in love with 5 years ago from a chance meeting. These type of stories have me kicking my feet. Overall cute story.
