Enemies with Benefits by Annika Martin, Joanna Chambers
4.0
I'm used to authors releasing a #0.5 in a series after they've released Book 1 - either as a way to "rewind" and reward readers with additional scenes of the characters they already love from the full-length novel, or, as a short story about secondary characters from Book 1 that, despite the author's original intention, demanded their own story.

And it's good. It establishes the characters fully and makes you want to pre-order the shit out of the full-length novel in order to find out how these two men - who have the same goal, yet find themselves on opposite sides of this conflict - work things out. It's also well-paced, well-written and super sexy (manties, forceful blow jobs and self-gratification in the shower, oh my!).
But now that Book 1 is released, there is ZERO POINT in reading this "novella." Skip it and pick up [b:Enemies like You|34939537|Enemies like You (Enemies with Benefits #1)|Joanna Chambers|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1493276904s/34939537.jpg|56207276] instead.
