Just Call Me Confidence by Stella Grae

beastreader's review

5.0

OMG. Forget the young twenty something women; give me the newly divorced forty something woman. Hurray for Jenna on finding herself and taking back her confidence. Just because a woman is divorced does not mean that her life has ended. This is a time for women to put themselves first. Besides, it does go without saying that women mature later in life with their desires, so it made sense for Jenna and Collin to be on the same level with their "s" drive.

I loved seeing Jenna through Collin's eyes. He saw a woman with more curves, a good mother, a woman who could not keep her hands off him as much as he desired her and someone he loved. The more I saw Collin interact with Jenna, the more endeared I became towards him.

There is a funny scene where Jenna is shopping for a new s#x toy and talking with the shop lady about Jenna giving her a list of RILFs. Rockers I'd Like to F.

The title of this book may be...Just Call Me Confidence but You Can Call Me Absolutely in Love with It!

So this novella was HOT 🥵 this was very well written and super fast paced which I loved! Some of the conversations that happened seemed kind of weird, I think it might’ve been the way things were worded but Travis’s character just seemed very immature. 

I really enjoyed Collin! He seemed like an old soul which I felt was very relatable, it made me connect with him more than the other characters. 

Jenna was able to find her confidence in and out of the bedroom! She was definitely a MILF and I enjoyed this story so much 🖤

If you’re looking for a really hot read, you need go no further than this. Jenna is recently divorced, has three kids, is 40 years old, and looking for some fun in her life. And does she find it. With men a little less than half her age. Travis is teaching her 4-year-old how to swim. And teaching her what it’s like to be with someone young, hot, and eager. Then he introduces her to his friend Collin and they spark immediately.

Recommendation: For a steaming hot graphic story with good characters and a decent plot, pick this one up.

Disclaimer: I received a copy from the author in the hopes I'd review it. My thoughts are all my own.

Sexy and fun, this story follows Jenna and her post-divorce search for companionship, but not commitment. Perfect summer romance!

I love me an age-gap romance/erotica. But what I’ve discovered is that when you have a FMC and a younger toy boy, it’s soooooo much better!

Jenna Craig is 40, newly single after her divorce and oh so ready to mingle! She’s a single mum of 3 kids and she’s trying to find her groove again. Supported by her bestie Fielding, Jenna takes a leap of faith back into the dating pool - right into the arms of the gorgeous young lifeguard, Travis.

I loved this book so much! I think it was partially because I am (somewhat) close in age to the FMC and, let’s be honest, I still find guys in their 20s to be easy on the eye. The spice in this story is also next level 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Fantastic, short HEA.
