About this ebook
'Laugh-out-loud funny, bananas sexy, and deeply romantic' Andie J. Christopher
'This book IS PURE JOY' Christina Lauren
Clara Wheaton is the consummate good girl: over-achieving, well-mannered, utterly predictable. When her childhood crush invites her to move across the country, the offer is too good to resist. Unfortunately, it's also too good to be true.
Suddenly, Clara finds herself sharing a house with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive - not to mention handsome - for comfort, but there's a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn't looked him up on the internet . . .
Once she learns how Josh has made a name for himself, Clara realises living with him might destroy the reputation she's spent years building. But while they may not agree on much, both Josh and Clara believe women deserve better sex. What they decide to do about it will change both of their lives, and if they're lucky, they'll help everyone else get lucky too.

Ah this book! I really enjoyed this read in some ways (lovely feels and saucy moments!) but I did struggle a lot with liking Josh throughout the read. I found him to be a bit of a pest until the end.

Clara Wheaton moves cross-country to spend the summer with her childhood crush, unfortunately he and his band are going on tour and instead she is forced to share the apartment with a random stranger from Craig's List. Said random stranger Josh is gorgeous, with male-model looks and a perfect body, then Clara finds out that he's a porn star (or adult film entertainer as they like to be described!). As a typical good-girl Clara has very limited experience with guys and (of course) has never managed an orgasm with a man, could Josh be the man to show her what she's been missing? Josh loves his job but he's just split up with his on-screen co-star Naomi and the studio is pressuring him to move to films with stronger themes, he has to make the decision to go in a direction which he isn't happy with, or potentially torpedo his career. This book is hard to categorise. It's a raunchy porn star teaches innocent to enjoy sex, mixed with a friends to lovers romance, mixed with an indictment of the adult entertainment industry and an empowering story of female friendship (and OMG how rare is that in Romancelandia?). Overall, a fun, sexy romance with heart and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Once I got into the book, it was like an unexpected turn but one that was interesting... Definitely loved it.
About the author
Rosie Danan writes steamy, big-hearted books about the trials and triumphs of modern love.

As an American expat living in London, Rosie regularly finds herself borrowing slang that doesn't belong to her.
