I just finished One Week Girlfriend and Second Chance Boyfriend; I thought they were great. (They're still available here, I believe.) She did a great job speaking in the male POV- I kinda felt like I was listening to my confused, romantic and horny 20 year old self talking (minus Drew's f-ed up baggage)- it was like a trip down memory lane. That made cutting back to the female character narrating all the more interesting for me. I thought character development was great,it was a good story, and great sex.

Does anyone have any recommendations for other authors for me to try? I've tried stuff like literotica but all those stories seem to have a paragraph or 2 to get the story started and then it's all porn on paper (not that there's anything wrong with that in its time.). On the other hand, I am looking for stories with sexual chemistry and actual sex, not just a bodice ripping and then right on to the next chapter without some mess up the sheets, steam the windows up time together.

I liked Drew in these two books (I was a college FB player so maybe that was part of it). I've a few books where the male lead is a musician; either I've picked crappy ones or they're just not for me. I'd also rather avoid the paranormal stuff as well.

Any ideas for something spicy for a guy who would like a little more than a quick encounter in the office late on a Thursday night when we're both working late kinda thing?

Maybe try some NOT ALLOWED - Beautiful Disaster is her POV and Walking Disaster is his POV. You should read BD first.

They're are a lot of these similar stories. Perhaps join Goodreads and click "similar to..." There are so many books out there that are like these. There's also Abbi Glines books where different chapters are the male or female narrative. Finally, The Marriage books by Jennifer Probst. These are some of my favourites and I loved Monica's both books!!!

Hope this starts you out on a non-porn on paper reading... Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply; that'll get me started. I've used Goodreads on and off before; I'll have to give that another look.
