One Dropped Key

by K.E. Monteith

Kasey doesn't regret letting Matt stay with her while he's been in-between places. But she is getting frustrated. Frustrated with his shoes in the doorway. Frustrated with her lack of alone time. And very frustrated by his gorgeous arms.

So when Matt steps out of the house and she has a few minutes alone, she takes some more "drastic" measures to make sure she's taken care of before he gets back. But when she accidentally drops the key and needs Matt's help, he's not sure she's done being cared for.

ONE DROPPED KEY is a steamy, short, roommates to lovers romance with a mildly ridiculous setup. There are sexually explicit scenes, including minor bondage and praise kinks, and a happily ever after.

there were chunks that were repeated like line by line verbatim so it loses a star for editing mishaps but it was a cute short story

[Chiara ♡‧₊ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely needed more editing: repeated paragraphs multiple times, missing parts (since the characters randomly answered to something that was - apparently - said but nowhere to be found), and some spelling mistakes.

Overall it was cute and spicy, something quick for my semi slump🙏🏻
ps ily Matt, Kas you're so me

Cute and spicy novella. Mostly spice, little plot but the plot helps. I'd say my only issue with this story I'd trying to imagine some of these positions in my brain, especially the first time. But I really enjoyed it!

for me

This book was short and good. The only complaint is that it really needs editing. Usually it doesn’t bother me but all the time paragraph would repeat. Overall not bad but little frustrating. 3/5

super cute!

This was a cute, spicy, swoon novella! A very quick read, the perfect little pick me up! 💖

I would also absolutely devour this as a full novel, friends/neighbors/roommates to lovers is my jam, and this was no exception!

Quick, sexy, easy read.

[Julie Morris · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too repetitive

There were frequent errors where entire sections were duplicated. Very annoying, mildly confusing. Some sections also seemed missing due to the repeated areas.

[Yoyes Lopez · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was nice but there were so grammar/spelling mistakes, it was annoying

[Adrienne · Rating 2 out of 5]

While the concept and characters were fun, I couldn't get past the editing. There were multiple instances of duplicated paragraphs that just pulled me out of the story.
