review 1: This short novel was a lot of fun. When a half naked and very sexy neighbor shows up at Macy's door, she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for. The thing that frustrated me about this book was the "I want him and then I don't" aspect of it. I like a woman who knows her own mind, even if she has a little problem with willpower. (If I had a sexy neighbor like Jarit and I was single, there would be no question about how that would go. Just sayin.)When the story ramps up from a wet towel to a full on frontal smut attack. Awesome. I love the way the author builds the sexual tension and as Macy ticks down each rule she is breaking by stepping over the boundaries with Jarit, she does not care. Then things really take a turn for the interesting. Jarit is a dominant and Macy... more is in for the ride of her life. If only she would make up her danged mind so we could get on with enjoying it. *sigh*After waffling around, Macy and Jarit get together and have a kinky little coming to BDSM meeting and she finally sees that inside her soul is a natural submissive just waiting to come out. The sex scenes were good and the ending kind of reminded me of something you see in an adult film, but overall I liked the story. (I secretly hope she really does start stealing his keys. I would.)3.5/5
review 2: Reviewed By~SabrinaReview Copy Provided By~PublisherCover notes / Warnings: BDSM is really the only warning. Though the blurb tells you all about that but it is not heavy and the "scenes" in this novella are really light.Review: I love strong women characters. I don't think there are enough of them. Either they are over the top or they are helpless and fall for the knight in shining armor. I guess those can be good stories too. But I can NOT stand a whining female. Or male for that matter. Why are you whining?! Anyway, Macy is ALMOST but NOT QUITE a whiner. Really, she actually comes off as a total beezee. There is no way I would have stuck it out for someone like that. Uh uh. However, Jarit is your 'typical' dominant. He sees the inner person and wants to be the one to bring it out in her. After multiple orgasms of course. *Rolls Eyes* In the end, these two are so perfect for each other. The perfect Dominant man, the naturally awesome submissive. All this happens after some really cheesy dialogue, the all knowing best friend and 72 hours. For an 80 page read, this was entertaining. I had my laughs and eye rolling. But every now and then, that's what I want to read. I want a book where I KNOW how it is going to end. less

This was a DNF for me. I wasn't enjoying it, so it wasn't worth my time to see if it improved.
