The second the test-the-sexy-scenes offer landed in my lap, I said yes.
After all, I've been damn curious about a few things I've read in romance novels. Do buttons truly go flying across the floor when you rip off a guy's shirt? Is staircase nookie hella hot or does it leave you with a big old bruise mark on your back? And don’t even get me started on all that panty shredding, and whether it even works.
Time to find out as I embark on Project Romance Novel Scenes Research, at the request of my hotshot book editor bestie.

All I need is a willing scene partner. Enter Tristan, my best guy friend. The witty, tell-it-like-it-is, bearded hottie volunteers for the experiment.

He's also the guy who gave me the most devastating, toe-curling kiss of my life ten years ago. But nothing has happened since then.
And nothing will come between my panties and our friendship now since we have a plan to keep it PG.
But once the buttons start flying, all bets are off...

S-E-X AND OTHER SHINY OBJECTS is a standalone romance in the BOYFRIEND MATERIAL series. The other titles are ASKING FOR A FRIEND and ONE NIGHT STAND-IN.

Review

“ I received a review copy from author and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.”

Peyton is given the opportunity to “test the sexy scenes” in romance novels. Bathtub sex, panty ripping, staircase sex etc. We’ve all read them and possibly thought about doing them in real life. For this task she enlist the help of her best friend, Tristan. The two of them have been kind of tap dancing around their feelings for one another for several years due to not wanting to lose the friendship which makes sense.

I really enjoyed this friends to lovers story. It had a refreshing premise. I really liked the whole reenactment of scenes from romance novels. Tristan and Peyton had good chemistry and I loved their banter and the story felt realistic. At times I wanted to shake sense into both of them for being stubborn and in denial but it was all worth it in the end. If you’re looking for a unique friends to lover romance, look no further!
