Book Review for Kiss Me If You Can by Cheryl Terra

 Kiss Me If You Can: A Spicy Unconventional Romance by Cheryl Terra

Published April 12, 2024 by Bang It Out Writing

 

Taken from Goodreads:  There are three things you need to know about Nellie Belanger:

She hates apologizing.
She loves exploring her sensuality.
She absolutely does not want a serious relationship with anyone… extra emphasis on “one.”

Which is why no one can ever find out about that one sizzling afternoon she spent in JP Marchand—aka her best friend’s brother’s—bedroom three years ago.

After a chance encounter with her former professor, the semi-reserved and gorgeously attractive Ben, becomes unexpectedly steamy, Nellie thinks she’s in for the summer of a lifetime. But when she offends the wrong person with her joyfully promiscuous attitude, it looks like three years of irritatingly flirty attempts to get her to call him are going to pay off for JP.

At least, until an ill-advised promise backfires and leaves her at odds with the one person who could ruin everything: her increasingly demanding and image-obsessed father.

Kiss Me If You Can is a spicy new adult romance with both best friend’s brother and an age gap involving a teacher. It is part of the If You Can series. These spicy new adult romance novels follow Nellie Belanger, an unapologetically sensual college student, on her journey from bed to bed and features multiple love interests/spicy partners with no love triangles or cheating.

While recommended for maximum enjoyment, the prequel novella The Boy Next Door does not need to be read to enjoy this first book in the series.

 

My Thoughts:  This book is spicy!   Very spicy.   Not my usual style, but if I look past the spicy, Nellie is a character that is screaming for help!    She does not want a relationship, the only relationship she has is with her best friend Ann-Marie and even then, she has secrets from her.    Nellie is living life her own way; she just maybe needs to find that special person who understands her and does not expect her to do whatever they want for them just to be with her.   It seems every choice she makes is for someone else.

 

I read the prequel novella, it was spicy also, and enjoyed getting to know Nellie’s history.   I liked that I knew what her parents relationship was and how they related to Nellie.  Neither relationship was entirely healthy but I do believe they wanted they best for Nellie, if only they would listen to what she wants.

 

If you are a spicy, erotic reader this is the perfect book for you.  It was quick and easy to read.
