I love Shannon Cheney. She's an absolutely fun and hilarious character, who isn't perfect, but knows what and who she is. She's not ashamed of the fact that she used make-up as an armor, she acknowledges it and notes that it makes her stronger, less vulnerable to wear it. Since she was introduced in the Corine Solomon series, I've been a huge fan and when Ann Aguirre mentioned she was writing a novella from Shannon's POV, I was super excited.This novella definitely didn't disappoint. It was great seeing the world from Shannon's POV and getting to know her a little better. I especially loved her and Jesse and the evolution of their relationship. Their chemistry is super hot, more so than Jesse's chemistry with Corine had ever been. Shannon says the most hilarious, outrageous things to him in both awkward flirtation and seriously hot innuendos. I think I would enjoy a book filled with just them bantering back and forth before getting to lots and lots of the really good stuff. No other plot would be needed.In the back of Forbidden Fruit, Ann offers up the possibility of more Shannon and Jesse goodness that would take place after Agave Kiss. All I can say to that is YES PLEASE!! I definitely want to see more of them and although I'll take it any way I can get it, I would like to put a vote in for a full length novel and not just a novella. Thanks Ann for giving me something I didn't realize how badly I wanted until you wrote it for us. And I know that Shannon already has a BFF in Corine, I'd definitely like to volunteer for the job is she's taking applications for back-up BFFs.
