Libby “Libs” thinks she is the world’s biggest dating failure. Her last date went home with their waitress. She has an ace in the back pocket – her sexy best friend, NHL superstar Justin “Jus.” He owes Libby favors dating back to seventh grade, long before he became a hotshot with a world famous stick. In return for her undying platonic loyalty, all she wants is an easy-peasy crash course on how to be a sex goddess. Justin is a firm believer in teaching by example. By the end of their first lesson, they graduated to a hands-on approach to her education. His hands were all over her, and her hands were all over him. Her hot mouth melted beneath his as he proves there is not anything wrong with the way she kisses. Within a month, he will ensure Libby is confident enough to seduce any guy she wants. Problem is the only guy he wants her seducing his him. – At first, Justin’s language was terrible, and I thought he was arrogant and rude. He was much better around Libby. I liked them together. It was interesting to see their relationship develop. She is a little immature, but he is just what she needs. Their timing was perfect. This is a good read.
I love a book that is funny as well as hot as hell; they are few and far between so I really enjoyed this page turner from Lili Valente from page one. Who wouldn’t want to learn the carnal ways of the world from a sexy as fornication ice hockey player who knows exactly what to do and you trust your life with due to a shared history. Good then I’ll continue!
This book is really well written, Lili Valente captures every possible emotion that could course through each of the character’s body as they travel this torturous journey together; be they good or bad. As the super cute pairing discover together and separately learning new things are not what they expect either as the teacher or the student and this is brought across to the reader really well. The history of both characters is portrayed well along with the supporting cast who play their parts really well trying to throw spanners into the training regime of the pair.
I loved the pace of the book, it moved along really well with the two main characters growing together throughout the story moving to the inevitable HEA.
I loved this book and totally recommend it xx
Love Lili’s books and can’t wait for the next one. I’m not a huge hockey person but her alpha hockey leading men are amazing!
Fun quick read . Hilarious. After reading I immediately went to find more books by this author
This is the first book I read by Lili Valente, and I’m hooked. It was funny and well-written, not to mention sexy and romantic.
Very nice frenimy to lover book! Read cause it’s a page turner.
Steamy and sweet. Reading about a tough guy who enjoys to knit is quite endearing. Fun story!
I thoroughly enjoyed this friends to lovers book with the hockey theme. Justin is a fun guy that didn’t take things too seriously until he did. Libby needed confidence to be comfortable with relationships and she asked Justin to help her with that.
I am not a hockey fan, but the amount of detail about the game in the story was just right. Also just right was the amount of passion. The secondary characters like Libby’s sister and Justin’s friend, Brendan were clearly poised for their own story.
I have read Lili Valente’s books before and I enjoy reading her romantic comedies.
Super fun read. Sexy, witty, funny and hockey. Who could ask for anything more?
I really enjoyed this book about Libby and Justin. The characters were excellently written, the story was funny, romantic, steamy and thigh-clenchingly good. The connection between the characters started as friends and became steamier at time went on. The plot of the story was well written. I liked how Libby approached Justin asking him for help and how it evolved from lessons to hands-on. Very original story. I can’t wait to ready Brendan and Laura’s story.
I did not like it. harsh
Kept me awake while getting infusion treatment for bone cancer
An easy to read, steamy, happily ever after book.
I love this best friends to lovers story. It’s sweet and hot at the same time. I couldn’t put it down.
This book was great! Can’t wait to read more in the series.
I wasn’t sure how I felt about the book after the first chapter. I mean do we really need to know his current… well I guess the girlfriend who he literally just broke up with…was the best head he ever had and liked to get dirty during sex. I’m fine when the H has a past of relationships but I really don’t like hearing about the H and his past sex life…ugh!
HOWEVER, I kept reading and really enjoyed it. I did think they made the H to be one of those people who constantly need a relationship or someone in his bed. That was a bit of a turn off BUTTTTT OVERALL…the book was good! Just little things that I didn’t like
Thx ok t
Loved!
This was an adorably sweet and sexy and steamy friends to lovers story! I can always count on this author’s books to give me plenty of smiles and laughs, a delicious amount of tingles, and a satisfying amount of warm fuzzies. And the characters are always lovable!! Libby was shy & inexperienced yet eager to learn, and Justin was more than willing to help a friend. I adored these two together!
I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did a great job!
Libby and Justin have great chemistry throughout the whole book. They have been friends for years before they discover the spark. This Libby finds after she asks Justin for help with her becoming more comfortable around men. This I found to be one of those sweet but funny. It was also romantic and hot. With a dash of tension just to keep us readers hooked. You have to read this just yo find out how the declaration of love comes about. You won’t regret it!
I listened to the audible version of this story and it was a good friends to lovers sports romance. I enjoyed Justin, Libby and her sister Laura characters a lot. Libby wants to get out of the inexperience category when it comes to seducing a guy after all, she wants her co-worker Roger to notice her once and for all. Her sister Laura tries giving her advice but there’s nothing better than practice and practicing with her best friend Justin seems like the perfect plan. There are rules to follow but rules are meant to be broken especially when feelings are involved and I enjoyed every minute of it. This story was funny, steamy and sweet. I will never think of a shark and a goldfish the same way. The only thing that stopped me from rating this book 5 stars was that I thought Libby overreacted about what took place in her living room and her sister Laura’s overaction to what she saw in the bedroom. This is definitely worth a read especially if you love a good friends to lovers romance with a HEA that won’t disappoint.
