That First Night by Jenn McMahon
4.0
Okay let me start this review by saying if you need some SPICY STEAM in your life, this is your book hands down. It starts in chapter 4 and it does NOT LET UP. It was great. While a little repetitive towards the end, it was still very well done.
I will admit that when reading smutty books, I have to set my snobby ways aside and remember that I am reading a romance novel and not a literary fiction. I have learned that I cannot compare books of different genres to one another and this book proves exactly that. When I break it down to points, I really liked this book - the characters were super easy to love, I wanted to be in their group of friends and wouldn’t have minded a look or two a Thomas. I’m not a fan of the single dad trope but I’m starting to think maybe I am because this is the third book this year I’ve really enjoyed with it!
There were definitely parts to this book that felt wildly repetitive, like I thought I was reading the same things over and over again, which lead to me skimming parts, but the story itself was excellent! It was an easy, quick, steamy, spicy read that will make you swoon (and sweat!) Can’t wait for the next one.
