Let me start out this review with a disclaimer that I chose to read and review C.C.'s books after meeting her at Wicked Girls Book Weekend. C.C. was probably one of the sweetest, coolest, smartass woman I have ever met. From go, she was welcoming and so down-to-earth that I just knew I wanted to read her books and pimp the mess out of her (if they were any good...hehe). Of course, I wasn't even remotely disappointed.Friends with Benefits is a fun, flirty, hilarious and steamy novella that you will want to read in one sitting! The characters, Natalie and Aidan, are hilarious and not overly exaggerated to make them completely unbelievable. I mean Natalie shops at Super Target. How cool is that!The story starts out with Natalie waking up to find her current boyfriend hitting on her best friend Cat. Of course, like any self-respesting woman, she kicks his ass quickly to the curb. Like any loser boyfriend, he tries to win her back by yelling and screaming outside her door one night....enter Aidan. Tall, broad and muscular ("his muscles have baby muscles"), blonde and yummy, Aidan is the new next door neighbor and he's willing to come to Natalie's rescue to send loser boyfriend on his way.Natalie is instantly drawn to Aidan. She makes a point of appearing at her best in the hopes of seeing him and making a better impression that the night dealing with her crazy ex."Yes, even when I was just going out to mow my lawn, I like a little powder and mascarabecause you never knew who might drop by."﻿Natalie's best friend encourages her to explore something with Aidan."....that man's body isn't a wonderland, it's a jungle gym.You need to climb on and play for a while."﻿As Natalie and Aidan spend more time around each other, they agree to a "Friends with Benefits" relationship. This cute novella explores what happens when you mix neighbors, a crazy ex-boyfriend and a whole lot of passion into a quick story. It is a must read for anyone looking for something light, quick and even a little steamy.
