Exactly what it says on the tin. This is quick and dirty and if that is what you are looking for you will enjoy this. There is very little plot.
Why choose between your best friends when you can have them both?
We follow three characters navigating the end of school and what will they do next.
This is a short novella full of spice and how a threesome between friends can make a stronger connection binding them, not just in friendship but in something more intimate.
Colt writes three characters from very different backgrounds and how their differences do not matter, its about how they feel towards one another that counts.
This was a great novella, but like all novellas you will always want more.
I enjoyed this short story. I do wish it was formatted a little different as some of the time skips were a little hard to follow but overall I really enjoyed.
Thank you, NetGalley for this arc for my honest review!
Rating: 2⭐
If you are looking for a book with a plot, this is not the book for you! This is a short spicy novella so if that is what you are looking for then you are in the right place. In this novella, we meet Anne, Nathaniel and Theo. They are three friends and Nathaniel and Theo have been fantasizing about sharing their best friend Anne for a while. The plot was a little heavier than I expected to read but overall it wasn't too much of a big deal for me. I would say the one negative about this book was that it is written in 3rd person and I personally don't enjoy books with 3rd person in it.
Well, I simply could not get into this one. It didn’t really have a story and just jumped right into it. I need a little more substance in my stories even when they are novella length. If you don’t, this might be the right story for you.
This was so deliciously perfect! I'm 1000% keeping this in my kindle library for when slow burns are just taking too long. It gets right to the point, the storyline behind the spice is perfectly sweet. You need to add this to your tbr. It's a quick read and definitely worth it. I need more from Ava Colt ASAP.
this was a quick, easy, spicy read!! i was looking for something exactly like that when i requested this book so it was so perfect. if you want great spice, mmf, a novella with little plot, and just a quick smutty read then this is for you.
This was a short, fun read that had far more plot than I imagined it would going in. I would have liked to get some details from midway through the end moved to the beginning. I think it would have flowed better. However, I had a great time either way.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!
Thanks to Netgalley and Ava Colt for the download of this ARC.
This is an erotic short story about three friends, two men and a woman who go from friends to lovers. The story is divided into three different slots of time that help the reader keep up with the progression of the short story. It is a fast-paced read with quite the spice, a nice friendship and proof of trust from beginning to end. The two guys are attracted to their female friend and she is to them, so there is no room for doubts of what ifs about the mechanics of their relationship and it just happens in a refreshing way.
The spicy scene reflects different desires, all of them always according to their wants, so the fact that there is consent helps a lot to see some of the submissive practices in a better light.
A VERY short story about a threesome of students exploring Europe AND each other! A super cute why choose, short enough that I couldn't classify it a romance it is mostly just smut but it's got a cute little story with it, and it's a happilyy ever after so I have no complaints! Plus, a little bit of consensual degradation kink was thrown in there so I am eating well tonight!!

3½ Stars
Anne, Theo & Nathaniel are college students who are studying abroad. Anne is attracted to Theo & Nathaniel, and the guys are both attracted to Anne. After a night out, the guys decide to gauge Anne's interest in being with them both for the night. Unbeknownst to the guys, this is something Anne has fantasized about, but she wasn't sure if the guys felt the same way. This starts the friends off on a summer fling that could potentially lead to more.
I liked this short, sweet, and streamy read. It was a little heavier on the plot than I expected, which was okay with me. There were a few information dumps with details that weren't really necessary. I also felt like the dialogue was a little clunky at times.
The story seemed to get better as it went along. The ending was satisfying and felt like the characters were headed into an exciting new chapter in their lives.
A short sexy story in three parts. Life moves and forwards in three chunks in this book, including a beautiful villa with a beach and New York City. There’s a little time outside the bedroom, but most of the book is Ann and her two men engaged in sexy time. this short story is very much a short story however it is exciting and erotic and worth the read..
It was hot, it was sexy and it was short! A perfect palate cleanser for those who love steamy sex scenes and this one had 2 guys! It was pitched just right.
A short story with a lot of steam! This book was exactly as advertised and it was a hot read. The plot was simple but the spice was fantastic between the characters. Thank you NetGalley, and Ava Colt for the gifted copy.
Short and sexy, why should you have choose between the two or choose at all? The characters were sexy and the settings were sexy. I personally wanted a bit more description with the spicy scenes. Don’t get me wrong, they were sexy, but something was missing.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this eArc of Take Two.
A spicy and quick read. I enjoyed learning about the characters, and would love to see this develop into something more - series or a novel. Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC.
Not my normal genre by any means, but a short, steamy read! Its tough to believe Nathanial and Theo would not have jealously between them, but definitely a quick read! Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the free e-copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
2.5 ** rounded down
🌶️🌶️🌶️ Plenty of spice
👎🏽 degradation & bdsm elements
Anne is studying abroad in Europe and has two new friends. Before their final semester abroad ends, they take a chance and break out of the friend zone. What follows is a night full of debauchery and firsts for the trio. Will this night end in disaster or become the beginning of something else?
The author makes it clear that this book isn’t about the plot, however, I found it had more of a storyline than I originally expected. Unfortunately some of the plot points were inserted via parentheses and in the middle of scenes. This occurs often and completely took away from what little storyline there was. I felt as if the beginning could have been better organized with a lot of the information dumped toward the end, being presented before the opening act 😉.
This novella wasn’t my taste and I debated if I should dnf. There are elements of degradation that I found absolutely disgusting, such as, spitting into the FMC mouth and slapping her face with his 🍆. Although the typographical/ grammatical errors and disjointed information dumps took away from the story, I’m glad I pushed through because I found I liked the end of part two and part three better.
This book was complimentary from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.
the author has stated as a disclaimer that there is no full story here, just a stand alone narrative about three people exploring their sexual feelings for each other. But a little introduction into the emotional core of either of the three would have helped. The three parts are at best described as standalone events with no prior connection to each other. The spice factor is high, and the author has explored the sexual dynamics between the trio explicitly and vividly. For that alone, I would give the book two stars. I reserve the three stars for if there was an exploration of friendship between the three, but alas there is none.
Perfect for a quickie read. Enjoy!
This book didn't have much of a story line. It was short and the sex was soft BDSM. The guys didn't interact with each other, only her. When he spit in her mouth and made her swallow I almost quit reading it. That's revolting to me.
