The book was alright. Friends with benefits. Friends to lovers. There are a few sex scenes but I didn’t get erotic vibes. The sex didn’t move me. This is a romance. I liked that love languages were discussed and there was more content than sex. I doubt the pressure was too much to tell their friends about their page. 

Why would Michael have a ring on if he was engaged? Also, if her needs were insatiable, how was she not taking care of home? Like cheating would not be the answer to that. Honestly how Merrick was acting, it was totally uncharacteristic of him to bring shorty around Aries. Like he wouldn’t even put her in the position to feel that way. That’s why friends with benefits don’t work for me because the denial and miscommunication for what? For the sake of the storyline. And then when they were arguing he called her Bella and not her real name. If Oniqa wasn’t his type, then why would he go get in a relationship with her? Literally makes no sense. Again, for the storyline. 

Unnecessary commas. A few grammar mistakes but nothing to take away from the book.

Absolutely a wonderful book on friends turning lovers. I loved them together and their love languages and finding what was right in front of them!!! Well written

Aries and Meerick are hilarious. They have a genius plan that is lucrative and fun. But they are in for a lot more than fun.

The problem with FTF (friends that ***k) is that the foundation of a relationship is already there. It takes a lot to build a solid friendship and it only takes a little more to make that something completely different.

Airy and Ricky swear that they've got it handled. But do they?

I LOVED this. B did a phenomenal job on this story but that's not surprising.

I wished I liked this more but I just didn't get along with the writing style and just how constantly words were repeated and a persons actions were described the exact same way. If I see the word "chuckled" one more time I might scream. I liked Aries and Marrick as characters and I do wish they were fleshed out more, I liked the conflict they both had and how much their choices and reservations made sense for them and the story. Marrick really was a great hero in this and I love that for him and for Aries. There is warning about the sex at the start of this and maybe because I had to be warned my expectations were too high but they disappointed me in a lot of ways. Some of them were so short that after two paragraphs it was over and I felt nothing at all. The epilogue was unnecessary, rushed and bumped the whole thing down a star it didn't need to be there. With the writing just...not being my cup of tea that made it so hard for me to appreciate more out of this.
