review 1: Frankie Winchester has a take no prisoners attitude - and that’s served her well being a talent agent to some of the most famous celebrities in the world. Her needs are simple, a good masseuse, speedy car and all the fun one gal can handle. There’s only one dark spot in her life: Alec. Didn’t matter that her family had more money than they knew what to do with and he didn’t - anything he tried, he beat her at.Alec may be a celebrity landscape architect, but he’s as giddy as a schoolboy when he spots his high school nemesis, Frankie at a swanky Sydney party. Remembering all the times that he as the “new money kid” twisted himself up in knots trying to impress Frankie and failing miserably. Paired in a sexy and wild popular party game, they find that ignori... moreng their very adult urges towards one another impossibly complicated and there’s more than that pesky playing card in their midst. He wants to show her that coming in second in this case means they’re both winners, but Frankie’s stubbornness means she’ll hold out until the end of time before she admits the kiss meant anything.Let’s play!Wow. I’ve been to parties as a kid where “Suck and Blow” was played, but in no way was I prepared for the very grown-up version that Lexxie Couper portrays in her book by the same name. Frankie Winchester, aka “the gun”, is a woman who owns her actions in life - whether it’s her highly successful career as an agent to the rich and famous, or her inability to truly let go of the fact that she came in second more often than not to Aleczander “Alley Cat” Harris in school. I loved that she was unapologetic about her pride - she worked hard to achieve all the successes in her life and shouldn’t have to feel sorry about it. Frankie also was adult enough to recognize how cruel she and her classmates were in their treatment of Alec and on that principle alone she’s my new fictional superhero. I like my characters a little flawed; they’re more relatable that way in my mind. In the opposition is Frankie’s high school wet dream, Alec. Well, he’s still her wet dream, but she’s hard pressed to admit it - she has her pride after all. He’s hunky, genuinely nice, hard working and someone that in spite of his wildly successful career as a celebrity landscape architect, is ashamed of and has not forgotten his humble beginnings. Alec turned himself inside out over Frankie in school and ten years later still feels like the bumbling idiot he always was. He walks into a room and people take notice; Frankie however runs as fast as she can in the other direction. The chase is on!The sex in this book is seriously hot but so tastefully done. I wasn’t just fanning myself, but found my heart fully engaged, hoping that they’d figure it all out before the end of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed Suck and Blow by Ms. Couper and plan to check out the other installments in her Party Game series.
review 2: As posted on The Smutty Kitty:4 out of 5 LicksThis was a fun start to a series by both Lexxie Couper and Rhian Cahill around grown ups playing party games from their teenage years. This one was a lot of fun. Frankie (AKA The Gun) and Alec (AKA Alley Cat) have known each other since they were kids and Frankie spent most of her life with very confused feelings over Alec. They were constantly against each other in school activities and Alec always managed to win. Alec spent his life desperately trying to prove his worth to Frankie but he always believed she hated him. Finally as successful adults Alec runs into Frankie at a party and has decided enough is enough. After a quick game of suck and blow where a serious kiss occurs there is some steamy sex in a powder room. I really enjoyed seeing the relationship between the two of them bloom. As they both reveal more about why they acted the way they did you really see the love between these two. I definitely recommend checking this one out!!Fine Print: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. less
