She's a hopeless romantic who keeps falling for the wrong guys and he's probably the worst guy she could fall for...unless? Penny is tired of falling for terrible guys who just don't meet her needs, so when she signs up to be part of the Key Club... a anonymous and completely secret romantic experience involving a stranger and a wall... she's finally found the perfect guy for her, a stranger who just gets all her needs. Lincoln is jaded after his last terrible relationship and isn't looking for romance... that is until he takes part in the Key Club experience and becomes obsessed with the woman on the other side of the wall.... and when they both find out who the other is things only get more complicated... since they are adopted cousins. Penny doesn't want to risk losing her adopted family, she doesn't want to lose it all after fighting so hard to have one yet Lincoln brings out something in her that no one else has ever and he's the perfect man despite being perfectly wrong. Lincoln knows he shouldn't want Penny but he can't get her out of his mind and he'll do anything to make her see he is it for her... anything to make her forget her morals and see that they are worth fighting for. When I tell you I ate this book up in one sitting I MEAN IT. Oh my god this was such a fun and spicy read and the romance and forbiddenness??? Sarah just knows how to write a damn good book. I couldn't put this book down and if you love a slightly taboo and forbidden romance book then ABSOLUTELY SNATCH THIS BOOK UP NOW AND FORGET YOUR MORALS CUZ I SURE DID.

I was especially excited to read this one after getting tidbits of Penny and Linc’s story in Book 1. It was fun; definitely had a good bit of taboo-ness (gloryholes anyone?), spicy yet emotional and sweet. I had some issues with the editing and dialogue; for some reason I found the writing a little clunky and confusing at times. It could’ve definitely used another once over. Also, the secret relationship thing dragged on way too long for me. Other than that, a solid read and I’m excited to see book 3 with the twins.
