Sexy and emotional! What a great storyline. Love the heat between Dom and Rod. A few twists and turns so kept it exciting!
Another fantastic book by Scarlett Avery. Rod and Dom are best friends who finally figure out that they want more. I love everything about this story and I’m looking forward to the rest o the series! 5 Stars!!!
This was a well written read that keeps your interest from the beginning up until the very end. I always enjoy a good friends to lovers read and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. I’m anxious to see what comes next from this author.
Super cute and great love story! I liked the remake of this book since it had more added to it. A must read!
This was a great friends to lovers book! Rod was in a successful band and all along he had his best friend Dom by his side. He protected her from the bullies in school and while on the road. Their friends have seen how close they are and wondered why they never got together. They closely work together and after a trip overseas, Dom is a brand new woman and someone is noticing..Rod is liking what he’s seeing. He’s very confident man but when it comes to Dom, he’s a mess. With a come to Jesus meeting,he realizes what he needs to do. One night together with no commitments…what could go wrong? These two soon realizes what everyone has seen for awhile and finally get things together. While this story started out rocky for me, I soon found myself engulfed into this story and hard to put down. Rod and Dom have some sexy times that will melt your kindle. But in true faction of this author, these scenes are drawn out for many pages which kinda drives me mad but yet I keep reading her books. I seriously loved the transformation of both characters throughout this entire book. By the end, it was a level of confidence that merged in Dom and it was fun to see Rod’s reaction to it. These two have a level of respect,love and protectiveness(I don’t think it’s a word but I’m using it lol) with each other and it was so nice to see it come together. This was a great book with characters you will absolutely love and want more of!!
I love this story. It’s passionate and protectiveness wrote to perfection.
This is the 1st in a new series and is Roderick and Dominika’s story. These two have ben best friends since school days, and it is great to read about how their relationship develops into so much more. Rod is loyal and protective, while Dom is strong, brave, resilient, and a survivor. These two have loved each other secretly and the chemistry between them is undeniable and passionate. This is a beautifully written story which touches on a sensitive topic, and has angst, secrets, emotions, passion, and is a steamy and poignant love story. I look forward to reading the 2nd book and recommend for all.
Torrid Love
(Bad Boy Stud, Book 1)
Scarlett Avery
I loved reading Rod and Doms story. It was a steamy page turner that was hard to put down. This pair had been together through thick and thin. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that they’d end up together and have their own HEA!!!
Looking forward to reading Torrid Passion next in this series.
What a fantastic read!! I loved this friends to so much more tremendously! It combined not only that but a rock star vibe with a CEO added with Rob’s character. Through in Dom who’s not only his best friend but a kick butt videographer. Dom is tired of being in the friend zone but her friendship with Rob is too important to loose. Rob feels the same. Tension between the two gets so high that something has to give. Jealousy catapults them into an area that is finally more.
I loved this story and can’t wait to read more.
Best friends since their teens they finally find their true love for each other. Her protector, didnt know what she did to protect him.
Great love story
Rod and Dom have been friends forever. One day Rod came to Dom’s rescue from some bullies and has been there for each other since that day. Though her feelings have changed Rod’s kind of a dummy about what he truly feels for her. Once they hook up he mad the mistake to say it wasn’t right for them to be more and it crushed Dom and she wanted nothing to do with him but slowly he starts to see and feel that Dom is it for him. Though they’ve been friends forever growing up and seeing each of them change is what opened his eyes to more, but Dom was holding on to a Secret that she doesn’t want to tell Rod since she wants to keep him close and knows it will change everything between them. Will the secret come out and destroy what they have together or stay hidden and never come out? Loved the book.
What a great story line. Love the heat between Dom and Rod. A few twists and turns so kept it exciting! Passion and the way the author wrote this story will keep you wanting to read.
This is a newer to be author and I have to say that she has managed to impress me with every read.
I love the best friends to lovers genre. Dom has held an unrequited love for her rock god bestie Rod.
I enjoyed this so much these were well developed characters. I loved when Rod discovered how much Dom meant to him.
Great storyline that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I am volunteering to leave a review for this book.
This was a fantastic book! I loved the storyline as well as the characters! I will definitely read more from Ms. Avery!
Rod and Dom’s story is best friends to lovers, one of my faves to read. Scarlett Avery doesn’t disappoint in this new series. Plenty of romance and heat to keep you reading into the night. Can’t wait to read more from this group of friends.
A best friends to lovers, bad boy romance read. This story beautifully tells the story of Rod and Dom, addressing some traumatic events that happened to her. Well told and captivating this book is just perfect.
I thought this book was amazing. I could not put it down . I read it twice back to back because I did not want to miss anything. Great writing, characters and hot chemistry.
Omg this book is by far the best book I have read thus far in 2020. This is my first book by this author but it most definitely won’t be my last. I cannot wait to ready the next book in this series. I think my boss was probably wondering What was so interesting on my phone and why I had a huge goofy smile on my face whole day today. Absolutely amazing and fantastic book and highly, highly recommended.
Rod is an overprotective best friend to Dominika. They’ve been best friends forever but have never crossed that line. Everyone else can see it but both of them. All it takes is one drunk overzealous fan for Rod to take action. It’s a serious story with a serious topic as the underlying threat to this couple. Dom is one serious strong person and Rod lets her flourish, but it’s hard to stand by some times. Everything clicks into place for them to start this new part of their journey, but someone from both of their pasts comes in and blows it all up.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
Rod and Dom have been friends for years since he saved her in school but things have changed and Rod doesn’t know how to handle it. Rod was always the bad boy rocker, well he stopped being a rockstar and now he’s a producer and Dom is a awesome videographer. When Dom comes back from Europe they decide to give in to their feelings just once but even though Dom wants more she can’t ever have more with the secret she carries. Your not sure if the friendship will survive never mind the sexual relationship but this book keeps you on your toes.
