First impression:I like friends to lovers stories, so I thought...why not? Let's give it a go.The story:The plot wasn't all that complicated. Kat and Dom have been friends for a while and now that Kat is divorced, their friendship is heading to a new level. After getting matching tattoos, they head back to Dom's house and the night heats up. After their moment of passion, their true feelings for each other are revealed and a new love begins.The characters:Well, the story is only 42 pages, so there wasn't much character development. I didn't really feel like I knew much about them, but I did like them. I liked the idea that Kat had taken some time after her divorce before she just jumped in to a relationship. Also, I liked that they had a strong foundation of friendship. I will say that Dom intrigued me. He was a retired cop turned college professor. I wanted to know more about him. He was pretty sexy too. Although, I didn't love that he kept calling her 'honey' during the sexy parts. Despite that, their sex scenes were pretty steamy and reminded me why I love erotica. *wink*What didn't work for me:Since it was a novella, things happened pretty quickly, which I was prepared for. But, the beginning was a little confusing. It seemed like they were in an office setting or something and then just decided to go get tattoos. It was a bit of an awkward start.Overall:I ended up liking it. I almost didn't make it past the tattoo scene, but I'm glad I muscled through. It was steamy and sometimes you just need a good...hard...quick...dirty. Perfect read for a little inspiration!Favorite Quote:~White hot heat exploded as their tongues danced and wrestled. Her mouth was soft, luscious and addicting and he caught the back of her head to keep the connection until the throbbing of his shaft reminded him of other velvety parts of her body.-Loc 470
