The premise was very promising but other than one really good scene early in the book, this one definitely falls flat. Editing was pretty horrible and made it hard to enjoy the book. On the positive note, it is a very quick and easy read and if you just want something sort of steamy it'll take your mind off things ;)

Ava Colt’s Take Two is a steamy, tension-filled romance that explores friendship, desire, and the courage to take a leap into the unknown. Anne, a quiet introvert, has long harbored unspoken feelings for her two best friends—Theo, polished and put-together, and Nathaniel, rugged and carefree. The chemistry between them has simmered beneath the surface, but when the three can no longer ignore the attraction, things take a turn for the deliciously complicated.

Colt masterfully balances emotional depth with passionate encounters, crafting a story that feels both intimate and exhilarating. The dynamic between the characters is rich, each bringing a unique energy to the relationship, making their journey from friends to lovers both satisfying and believable.

If you enjoy slow-burning tension, well-drawn characters, and a bit of spice, Take Two delivers in all the right ways. A quick, captivating read that will leave romance lovers swooning!

This was an interesting book. It wasn't bad or good it was just kind of in the middle for me. I enjoy books of this nature most the time but I feel like this author was rushing the story and that just kind of ruined it for me

Sexy and deliciously descriptive, Take Two was an interesting take on a throuple that works for all parties. Lots of visual scenes with dominant men and and persuasive woman.

This book is a quick smutty time. I enjoyed the characters, but there wasn't really a plot. I would read other books by this author.

Oof yeah not for me. I know this was a short story but it felt like a chapter from another book. There was no lead up no introduction to the characters. This would have worked better as a whole book imo.

Take Two: A Contemporary New Adult Sexy Short Story by Ava Colt is a sizzling and entertaining read. The chemistry between the protagonists is palpable, making for a captivating narrative. The story's playful tone and engaging plot make it a delightful escape, overall spicy and fun!

Really spicy 🌶️. I really enjoyed reading this story because of the plot . It was very interesting 🤔

It was cute, it was spicy. More plot than I was expecting, but I did really enjoy the relationship development. I was half expecting some m/m. I think it really would've taken the book to the next level if there was some. the guys gave off a two bros chillin in a hot tub five feet apart vibe.,

This book was definitely not my cup of tea. I'm not sure that this book was worth reading. It was rather boring to me. There was no plot to it really and it felt very all over the place and I was confused a bit.

It is a short book, so I understand not having much of a plot, but I them expected something to catch me and reel me in, whether that be the characters or the spice of the book. The characters were quite boring and we don't get to know anything about them really. The spice was not exciting and I just felt like skipping over it (which is not like me at all).

I feel like this book was writing a book for the sake of writing a book...

I’m not sure if this book is worth reading, if I’m honest. It wasn’t anything new or exciting. I found it rather boring.


The over all plot felt a bit disjointed. The writing style seemed chaotic as the story jumped around, telling us about random episodes of our characters life. That mostly happened in Part I and confused me a bit.

It’s a short book and the author even stated there will be no plot in this book; so what’s the point of telling us (When the group expressed their feelings by using only “5” words, Part II) about memories we’ll have no context of ?

There were a few moments where I truly questioned what am I reading.

“Theo scrunched up his brow like the time a German tourist spoke to him in fluent rapid Berlinese in the Van Loon.” - Berlinese isn’t a language ???

“Setting back feminism to the Stone Age shouldn’t feel this good.”
- a woman setting for what she wants in her sex life is now setting feminism back in time? Because she actually establishes what she wants and can do it?

And like a cherry on top of this whole mess of a c*mslut sundae, when all characters are suppose to have heart-warming moment of deciding on their relationship, it goes like…

“We want to date you, like for reals.”

I’m done.

One night, two best friends and the threesome she’s been craving--- enough said! Hot & Spicy. This short story is perfect for just a "quickie".

Initially, I liked this story. A threesome between good friends intrigued me, and I was interested in where the story was going to go. I liked the first spicy scenes and dialogue. But after that, the story fell flat for me. Understanding that this was marketed as erotica and a shorter novella, I knew not to expect a whole lot of plot, but there was very VERY little plot in this, and what plot there was seemed to be lacking in good transition and clarity. There was too much bouncing back and forth, and necessary detail was sometimes left out. I found myself getting confused and wished there was more backstory to the characters. In addition, I found the writing wasn't keeping my attention. It started to seem repetitive to me, so I ended up skimming the whole last half of the book because I stopped caring about what happened.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for allowing me to read this.

Regarding the author, I will only be posting this on my Goodreads and not on any major sites.

I loved the story. It's simple, well thought out, and has an HEA. This is a short story, with a lot of smut, but also enough plot to make sense of everything and not questioning what is happening or why. My only criticism is for the beginning: there are a couple of paragraph set in the very near past that left me a bit confused. overall, a really good read!

This was a hot quick MFM that met abroad and honestly I love that for them! I will definitely be checking out more of her books in the future!

I understand it’s a super short spicy novella, but I think it could have been better and provide more back story. It goes straight into the spicy scenes in the first couple of pages. It is spicy which that’s the whole point of the novella, just wish it had a bit more plot. Also, I did find an error.

The sentence read, “Do you know hard how it's been to keep our hands off you?”

The words hard and how are flip. Should read “Do you know how hard…”

It’s not a big deal but just thought I’d mention it.

Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is definitely a short erotica story. There is not much of a story line or character development, but lots and lots of spice! This is an MFM why-choose romance. The spice was good and plentiful.

I put this at a 3 star rating because I have read better short erotica stories that either provided a better story line or better character progression.

A steamy right from the start short novella, always nice between heavier reads. Friends to lovers, sexy, fun, hot and spicy. It maybe of been better in first point of view by each character especially when in the third part. 3 stars

Short easy read loved the spice totally wish we could have gotten 1 more season but still a great read

I wish this was a full novel and not just a short story. I wanted to know more about the throuple. A good mix between smut and back story.
