Asking for Trouble by Amy Andrews
4.0
[I received a digital copy from Netgalley for an honest review}
Asking for Trouble is the third standalone book in the Credence, Colorado series by Amy Andrews. This romance has just the right combination of sweet and heat that I look for in a western romance.
Della has a lot of dark baggage ad she has spent the past three years repair her mind and soul from the abusive marriage she escaped. Now she's more than ready to move on with her life, she wants to experience the world, and she wants to explore her bodies needs and that of the opposite sex. She joins twitter and her brother's best friend, Tucker, helps her navigate her way on their and becomes her wingman. After a few non so stellar dates she decides who better to explore with than someone she trusts and already knows her history. Tucker resists at first but can't deny her so their friendship turns into friends with benefits that we both agree won't ruin their friendship. But when it's time to end their arrangement will either one of them walk away unscathed.
"she was drowning in sensation. All she could do was hold on and follow."
Della's character is well-developed. She is layered with real struggles and a fierce determination to over come them. She's naive about the real world of intimacy in a way that's not annoying or over the top. I admire the way she embraces her independence and sexuality after what she went through. Tucker was charming, dreamy and delicious. The way he handled everything Della threw at him and supported her independence warms your heart. So does the way he focus' completely on her pleasure before
his own and shows her exactly what she's been missing.
"But man... it was like she had him under some kind of spell. He was weak when it came to Della Munroe."
Overall the story was fun. It did drag a little bit for me at times in the beginning with the progression of Tucker and Della's friendship but it did build the sexual tension between them nicely. Asking for Trouble is a brother's best friend, slight age gap, friends to lovers romance that will have you smiling with its cuteness and then fanning yourself from the steam.
