What’s that you say? Can you make me……..?!!! Why, yes Cason. You absolutely can! Game night has never been so entertaining. Jameelah and Cason have been best friends since college and they own a business together. They’re also secretly in love with each other but, have never acted on their feelings because of a pact they made with their friends. All that changes during game night when Jameela makes an off the cuff comment about her sex life. This alters the trajectory of their friendship and sets them on a journey of unbelievable pleasure. Once Cason got the green light, it was full steam ahead. He was all gas and no brakes baby. Cason was on that azz and was not letting up until his bestie became his woman. It was cute how Jameela and Cason really thought they were foolin’ everybody. Their feelings for each other was the worst kept secret among their family and friends. I loved how despite a few hiccups with his bitter baby mama and some reservations from Jemeelah, Cason remained focused on his end goal and did not let up until Jem saw things his way. He made sure his naughty request turned into a forever kind of love.
Yes Cason, yes you can! 😂 Ma'am that was sexy as hell! Who knew an innocent question on game night would change the whole game? Whew... I could feel the BDE from Cason, it was like it was being expelled from his pores! 😂❤ The way he came at Jem full stop was everything! This man was going to get his woman! Jem! Girl, you know you been wanting this man, quit playing! You know how he is already coming for you, why would being his woman be different? It was so cute how everyone already knew of the intense attraction between the two, and was just waiting for it to happen. That damn Yancy tried it! 🤬 But, Cason was like, nah, imma show you better than I can tell you! Cleared that ish right on up! Damn good read! 👍👍👍
This was a quick steamy read....I really enjoy the friends to lovers trope. Cason and Jemeelah were a perfect match. I love the that Cason really went the extra mile to prove his love for his best friend. Hos daughter's mother was something else....I was more than happy when he got her a** under control....Hopefully, we can get other books from this group of friends....This group of friends were cool and wild.
this book just didn’t do it for me. i found myself annoyed by the characters way more than entertained.
cason just wasn’t that guy to me. you’re telling me you’ve been in love with your best friend all those years and never made a move but as soon as you find out she’s never had a man induced orgasm it was time to make a move?! how much do you really love that woman if that’s what you needed to hear to finally confess your feelings for her. men are so dense and self involved sometimes, even fictional men.
i felt like cason was so pushy when it came to being in a relationship with jameelah. it was like because he was ready to be in a relationship he expected jameelah to just throw caution to the wind and be with him. like my guy, you was just hunching your baby mama a couple months ago, jameelah’s reservations were very valid. especially because his baby mama started causing drama before the relationship was really off the damn ground.
mind you, this was supposed to be an erotica. they spent so much time of dealing with exes and ish i forgot they were supposed to be hunching.
Best friends do make the best lovers with Cason and jem. Cason had a little baby ma drama from Yancy. It seemed like once Cason confess his feelings 2 Jem, They both got on board Let's just say it was cummin Experience.
Cason and Jameelah had a solid friendship but their chemistry was undeniable. I wanted to shake Jameelah a few times for giving Cason such a hard time. I understood her apprehension though. The sex and chemistry between them was hot.
Jemeekah was enthralled and so was I. Jemeelah and Cason had me hook from the beginning and all the way throughout their story. This is a MUST READ Naughty Request.
I love me some Cason, this best friend to lovers romance was just the right amount of nasty. I will say I understand why Jemeelah was scared because you don't want to mess up a solid relationship but LAWDDDD was she getting on my darn nerves. Cason was upfront with Meelah but she was playing and when he came on that date with Arik i was have jumped up so fast 🤣. Then for Arik to call and have that conversation, I was like and this is who you was trying to be nice to girl 🙄! Cason baby mama was a hot mess and when she got caught up I was laughing so hard that’s what she gets🤣🤣🤣! Cason did all the stops to make sure that Meelah was going to be his, the way he went about it was messed up but he saved her from making a bug mistake!!! This was a cute fast paced but well developed story that you will won’t to finish!
Okay, Cason! This was a sweet best friends to lovers trope. Jameelah and Cason have been friends since college and own a business together but on a game night Jameelah makes a comment about her sex life that had Cason’s antennas up! Their sexual chemistry was just as on point as their friendship.
I love a good friends to lovers troupe and this one gave me something extra with the naughty 🥵 request!!! I loved Cason for Jem!! There chemistry was very hot and amazing💦🧨💥. I am so glad they got it together and stopped wasting time. Great read👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
These authors are really coming with the heat with these naughty books. And this book was no exception. Cason was coming with nothing but heat and bde behind her! He was not play with her do you here me? And I was so here for every bit of it! Top 5 naughty book easily! Sensational
This was a sweet story on best friends becoming lovers. Jem was holding on to the friendship pact they made in college not knowing her other two friends were seeing each other. It was funny that everybody saw the chemistry between Cason and Jem. Good book!❤️❤️
Cason and Jameelah turned their fifteen year friendship into a loving relationship with amazing chemistry. They had fought their feelings for year and finally decided to act on them after a deep conversation with their friends. Everyone knew how they felt about one another and wasn't shocked when they went public. Kordell and Ivy decided to come clean about their relationship one Cason and Jameelah did. This was an amazing read!
I enjoyed this best friends to lovers story. Cason knew he wanted Jemeelah to be his forever and he made moves to make that happen. This couple was cute together and you could feel their chemistry. Jemeelah was hesitant but she came around to them being a couple. Cason’s naughty request turned into a forever kind of love.
I will always love a friend's to lovers story and this one was great. Although there was alot of drama their friendship was stronger than anything. This was a nice read filled with very naughty scenes that I thoroughly enjoyed, great read!!
Kay brought an interesting twist to how friends to lovers to HEA was brought forth for Cason and Jemeelah. I laughed and also recognized why the sub characters were rooting for them to be more. The premise of what got them to be is unique. As the ego and libido can be a hellava push to go for what you know. 15 years of what could have been and should have been, all came to ahead. I will say Yancy, I am happy she got her HEA. As the mind games of wanting the two parent household can be a lot. But moreover you recognized in her situation it's not far fetched for her to behave the way she did and it was good to see Jemeelah call Cason out about that.
Overall good storyline and new twist on what drives a couple to finally take a risk when they first start off as friends.
The title tricked me in the best way! This is definitely a spicy little novella, I anticipated pure smut which would have been fine with me. The actual love story that took place was a pleasant surprise. Very unexpected but really enjoyable. We have best friends to lovers, secret pining from both MCs, strong friend group, and the mama’s we’re too cute secretly trying to marry the couple off to each other long before they took the leap!
I’ve been in my Kay Shanee bag lately. This is my third of her books in the last few weeks and it did not disappoint. Come for the title.. stay for the story!
I really enjoyed this quick read. As always, I love a man who doesn’t play about his woman. Although, that wasn’t always the case with Jem and Cason. She is an ex-fiance and he has a BM from hell. But their friendship has always remained tight with both secretly pining over one another. But when Cason got her to see things his way?? It was over for our girl Jem. They had a few hiccups, but love wins! Very interested to see if Luka can change Mina’s mind though! Overall, i enjoyed this one and recommend!
“Best friends make the best lovers and life partners.”Cason and Jemeelah were best friends from college into adulthood and on a bi weekly game night amongst group of friends their conversation led into sex talk where Jemeelah revealed that no man ever made her cum. Cason took this as an opportunity to stay back and let his feelings known for Jemeelah and be the first and only man to make her cum.
This author continues to deliver and give us sexy reads including this friends to lovers story. Jem and Cason go way back like the seats in an old Cadillac. When a discussion among friends came up about how women are not always able to have orgasms, Cason used that opportunity to shoot his shot with Jem. And baybee....whew! Check it out...it is worth the read!
This was my first read of the Naughty November books because she’s 1 of my fave authors. True to her usual penmanship this story had the love and a bit of drama to keep things entertaining. Add on the erotic scenes and it made it absolutely perfect!
Cason wasn’t to be played with, and I loved every moment of it. I was so happy Jem didn’t trip too hard with the big reveal at the end. Whew! This author is always on point. I enjoyed every minute of this naughty request. 🔥
Wow this was a good book Jem and Carson sex scenes was steamy. I’m also glad Yancy got a happy ending and came to her senses. Carson was Bae had Jem cumming
Kay NEVER disappoints! Cason was coming for Jem baby!! I hate he let all that time go by before approached her but as the saying goes it's better late than never!!
Cason and Meelah!!! I loved them. I could envision every request he asked of her. Who knew her telling her friends she never came would lead to Cason being the man to make her cum over and over again. Shoot I need me a Cason in my life lol. Loved this book. Now my next question is who getting a book next? Kordell detailing how he and Ivy ended up together or Luka so he can eventually find love lol. Thanks Kay Shanee
