[ARC provided by the publisher, Ellora's Cave, in exchange for an honest review]*3.5 Stars*I've read several of Lissa Matthews works in the past & have enjoyed them. When Trouble in the Making released, I just had to read it. Plus, I love the sexy cover and the blurb. I won't go into the summary of the story since the blurb summarized it perfectly so I'll just dive into my review.Honestly, it was a little hard for me to get into the first part of the story. It was harder for me to connect with the characters. The story started out with Liz and Johnny meeting and then going straight to the sex. At that point, I was worried that this was just going to be purely sex with no story. But, I continued reading and was glad I stuck it out. I actually enjoyed the second half of the story so much more.Liz and Johnny's relationship was explored more in depth during the second part of the story and I enjoyed their playful banter and open communication. They were complete opposites with Liz being an introvert and Johnny being an extrovert who was also a larger than life rock star, yet they complemented each other well. Johnny was really very sweet in his ways with Liz. Liz was doubtful that they could have a relationship because of the two different worlds that they live in, but Johnny was very convincing in showing her that they belonged together.At first I couldn't feel the chemistry between Liz and Johnny. That was a part of the reason why I didn't enjoy the first half of the story. However, as the story progressed sparks were flying and it became clear that Liz and Johnny were compatible. The sex was hot and even naughty with spanking and anal play involved ;)Overall, Trouble in the Making was a cute, fun, playful, and erotic friends to lovers story that I enjoyed. The storyline was typical and not very different, but it still entertained me nonetheless. I'll recommend Trouble in the Making to fans of erotic romance who are looking for a light and short read to pass the time.
