Rayne has always been the girl who wanted to settle down, to build a family. But she recently just got out of a long term relationship and her ex wasn't very polite when telling her the reason why he couldn't be with her anymore is because she really sucked in bed.
Cade on the other hand, Rayne's brother's best friend, has never been the settling down type. With multiple women he can call at any given time for a hook up - Cade loves being single. He loves sex and isn't ashamed to let women know it.
But when Rayne's brother propositions Cade with a bet - sleep with one woman for an entire month to prove that he can be serious about something before they open up their own restaurant together - Rayne believes she has a plan. Cade can use her because he knows she won't catch feelings for him and she can use him to teach her the dos and don'ts in bed, being the womanizer that he is.
But after one month, can either of them walk away from each other?
My thoughts:
I love anything R. L. Kenderson writes!! The story was fast and hot and so damn spicy. I love Cade, not just because he is the obvious love interest, but also because he cared about Rayne even before their situationship. He is a good guy with a good heart who just hadn't found the person for him yet. Rayne is such a wonderful character and I loved these two together. I did think the book ended pretty abruptly and I really wanted just a little more of them. But I loved the story either way.

I loved book 1 of this series and was excited for this to come out.
Cade made a bet (or kinda really wanted to) with Rayne's brother, his best friend.
She was coming out of a bad relationship and thought she was the problem.
Now there's a business at stake and a bet to win!
I loved the relationship between Cade and Rayne! Loved his possessive attitude sooo much.
Can't wait for book 3!!

This was a new-to-me author and wow I was not disappointed. This has spice, heart, chemistry, and an amazing storyline.
Rayne’s brother bets Cade to only sleep with one woman for a month in exchange for opening a restaurant with him. The catch? Cade doesn’t ever sleep with the same woman more than once. Rayne offers herself up in an attempt to learn new tricks and heal from damage her ex did to her sexual confidence.
The author did a great job of explaining Rayne’s thoughts and viewpoints around being curvy. She’s not down on herself, she’s simply viewing the world as it treats her. And it isn’t until Cade that she realizes that someone can truly be interested in all aspects of her, including her body.
Cade is an absolute dominant and I’m here for it. The dirty talk that came out of this man left me in shock more than once in the best way. I love the way he approaches his relationship with Rayne. And when he falls in love with her, it makes it all that much sweeter knowing his view on commitment.
I truly can’t say enough great things about this book. I’ve already downloaded and started book 1 and can’t wait for book 3 in the series!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved Rayne and Cade!! I genuinely appreciated how much he cared about her and that he took the time to help her become more comfortable and confident with herself. This book had me rooting for them from page 1! I love how honest Rayne's character was and how she brought genuine concerns that people who don't fit into society's standard of beauty may have.

I DEVOURRED this book! I’m not sure what it is that R.L. Kenderson puts in their books, but I don’t think it’s legal because I’m always hooked from page 1 and can’t put it down until it’s finished!
So much to love in this book from the chemistry between the two MCs to the REALISTIC plus size representation. If you’re in need of a spicy smutty book with a good ending this is the one for you!!!!
