SARAH Mfing BAILEY does it again 👏🏼 She does not miss. The spice. Perfection. The plot. Perfection. The sprinkle of emotion. Perfection. The humor. Perfection. I devoured this book in one sitting because it is simply that good. 

Easton and Maya had me on my knees I loved them so much. The chemistry and their connection was absolutely delicious. Easton is truly a man who would do ANYTHING for his girl. THE WINDOW SCENE. PLEASE THAT WILL BE LIVING FOREVER RENT FREE IN MY MIND. 

If you are looking for a spicy and fun Valentine's Day novella, please look no further because hot d*mn this one is good.

This was such a fun and spicy read! Easton & Maya had some serious chemistry from the start! They had a pull towards each other that they couldn’t ignore! I love them so much! But let’s talk about Easton?!😍 He was so patient with Maya and the mouth on him 🫠 I was unwell! 

If you want a quick read for this Valentine’s Day! I highly recommend picking this novella up!

Easton has has a thing for Maya since he got to know her in college. But it just wasn't meant to be. But when he sees her name on an upcoming conference he can't resist meeting her again. 
Maya is driven and successful. Men don't like women like her or so she thought. But Easton makes her feel like she can be herself without being judged. So maybe waking up married after a fun night out isn't how she thought her weekend in Las Vegas would lead her but what if it's a chance for the both of them?
This is such an amazing novella. Packed with fun, feelings and fantastic spice!! The tender moments between them had me melting to a puddle on the floor. I love how accepting Maya and Easton are of each other and how protective both of them get when someone even themselves talks badly about them. If you want a quick, fun Valentine's day with all the feels, "The Forever Experiment" is the perfect pick!!

Did I binge this in one sitting?! YUP. SURE DID. 0 REGRETS.

This was such a fun, sweet, spicy and quick little novella that Sarah graced us with. Bless her soul because we’re all foaming at the mouth for August, but yall should be foaming at the mouth for Easton because my oh my, this man was EVERYTHING. 

“Maya Baby” had me absolutely unwell. It was the sweetest thing every time he called her that. And MANNNN his mouth was on fire. That man could say sweet nothings in my ear all day. 

I’m obsessed, naturally. Thank you SB for this amazing read.

This might be my very first valentines novella and I adored it!

I will gobble up anything SAB writes! She is the best at mixing the best emotional lines with the spiciest lines and I eat it up every time! Easton was such a simp for Maya and man Maya was such a badass! I loved that he wanted to support her and not change anything about her. And their simple nicknames were just PERFECT! Ugh. Damn I could’ve read 500 pages of these two!

If you need a GOOOOOOD novella, STOP. HERE. Easton and Maya are the epitome of opposites attract and I adore them! 

One thing that made this novella stick out from others I’ve read is they weren’t complete strangers that were struck with instalust but we got to jump right in to something that had already been developing and then watch how time changes things. The character growth was exponential especially with Maya and the strong personality she has! She didn’t change her strength but calls it by name and works it into the relationship without changing herself. Absolutely masterful. 

And Easton is a precious, lovely golden who fell first, hard, and pined for years……and years. 

*summary*
Maya and Easton attended prelaw together where, for a couple of years, they took the same courses and studied consistently with each other. Easton, having the biggest, most unreciprocated crush on the planet, respected Maya’s desire to put her career and ambitions first. And will always do that for her. Time, schools, relationships, and careers separate them until Easton learns that Maya will be a keynote speaker at a convention in Las Vegas. And we know what happens in Vegas 😉

🏛️ Exhibitionists

Do I recommend this novella? YES! Add it to your February TBR! You’ll be glad you did!

 Cutesy. Short, novella that takes place mainly in Las Vegas. So, you can imagine what might happen there. Easton and Maya have a whirlwind romance. 

This is not my favorite Sarah A. Bailey novel. It's good, but seemed a little clichè.
