Status Updates From Strong Suit (Sexy Suits #3)

Bonus audio short story after FEEL GOOD FACTOR

“Go for it, Noah Rivera. Wear me down.” The die has been cast, the gauntlet has been thrown, and I make it my mission to wear her down, but in, you know, a positive way, the way we both want. I’m confident I’m closer. And one day, when I ask her out again, I’m pretty sure she’ll say that someday is now.

We’ve jumped from electric toothbrushes to kale to wine to bath dirty talk, and I want to go over to her place right now and get in the tub with her, and I don’t even like baths. I mean, come on, baths are kind of dirty. I’m a shower guy. But a bath with Ginny Perretti? Hell yeah.

This woman. Damn. I want her. “But what do I get if I win?” She tilts her chin, like she’s thinking. Her eyes flicker, the hint of a smile in them. “What do you want?” I strip away the teasing for a split second, dead serious. “I think you know what I want.” She swallows, looks away, then back at me, vulnerability in her eyes. “I do.”

I’ve always been drawn to younger guys, and they’re always dangerous. They’re not serious, they don’t have their act together, they don’t know how to take care of you. Even though I absolutely do not, in any way, shape, or form need a man to take care of me, I do need someone I don’t have to mother. I’m 35 and I have a 10-year-old daughter. I’m a single mom.

I did all that because I’m helpful. Not because I was totally perving on the hot new guy. We had lunch together and that’s when I made the biggest mistake. “Tell me more about you.” I learned he lived in Queens, had dinner with his parents every Sunday, and liked to play soccer with his sister’s youngest son. He was a freaking 25-year-old family man. Thanks, universe, for the temptation.

A quick listen at the end of THE FEEL GOOD FACTOR

nice book

yet another cutey patootey lovey dovey with a spicey side of schmaltz chick-lit lite teaser masquerading as a novella. tastes crappy, and still less filling. how does somebody get to be a NYT best seller with this kind of drivel?
