Review: A very erotic read

Within the first paragraph, the author sets the tone for the story. She dumps the readers right in the middle of this messy love triangle with little warning. However, it also give the reader a chance to know right then and there if this is the book for them. You see, when the reader starts this book, they are immediately thrown into a very interesting situation that involves voyeurism.I must admit that I never had the college dorm experience. So for all I know, people hook up and have sex while their poor roommate is on the other side of the room trying to sleep. So it took me a while to get comfortable with the whole thing and in the end I still found it to be a bit messed up. Especially when you're screwing your girlfriend with your best friend/chick you've been in love with since you were young, not even 5 ft away from you trying to sleep. So yeah, it's easy to say I had some problems with Jay.The major redeeming quality for me (aside from Kenya's writing) is Evie. She's a very strong person. Even when Jay approaches her to sleep with him while he's still dating her roommate, she holds strong and doesn't relent. Of course, there are a couple of slip ups but she doesn't fully buckle under the pressure. She knows what she wants and she's not going to compromise and sneak around just because that would be easier. Which of course is Jay's logic.I did really enjoy this story and not because it's filled with such delicious smut. It's the first book by Kenya that I've read and I must say that she has a writing style that speaks to me. She keeps the story simple and doesn't bog it down with minute details. Even though I may not be on board with all the situations that take place in the book, I was still engrossed in the story until the very end and am curious with how it all plays out in the second book.
