 Hot, hot, and did I say hot?

I will say, if you don't like spice, then please do not open these pages.

Asia is a modern woman handling her business but needs a little something extra to put a little excitement into her every day boss chick lifestyle. So, her bestie hooks her up with a visit to The Den. There, she can be whoever she wants and do whatever she needs to. And, that's when she meets him.

Eric is a high-powered successful attorney. He lost a bet and had to make an appearance at The Den one night. He never expected to lay eyes on Asia, but he is so glad he did.

Will their encounter lead them to a happy ending or will him speaking his truth stop them before they ever get started?

You have to read the book!

Aye, somebody get me a tall glass of water. I'm burning because this book was HOT! I definitely can't wait to read the rest of the series.

While Stiff isn't my first book by Stephanie Nicole Norris, it definitely is the book that has made me want to explore more of her back list. This book has an interesting premise. Our heroine, Asia, usually keeps to herself and isn't really a daredevil when it comes to exploring her sexuality. At the beckoning of friend, she decides to try out this new club called The Den which permits it's attendees to explore their sexual fantasies. There she meets Cain and the rest is history. Unfortunately, there isn't much else that I can say about the plot or the romance without spoiling the reveals. I will state that there is great chemistry between the heroine and hero (mentally, emotionally, and definitely physically). I enjoyed Norris' writing style and found that the story itself had great pacing with interesting character development. I cannot wait to dive into the next book in the series.

This book is definitely a 5 star for me! The concept of the Den was very unique and I loved both of the characters! Asia (Carmen) and Eric (Cane) were both likeable characters. Eric explaining the history had me sold within the first few chapter because I love a childhood friends to lovers romance! I loved the way Stephanie developed the secondary character as well because I’m ready to learn more about each of them and how the Den will come back into play! I listened to this book on audible and the narrators Wesleigh Siobahn and Benjamin Charles were outstanding! The book was read duet style which I love! Definitely a Well Read Ruby Recommend!
