Book Description
A high-flying investor
New Yorker Jake Harrington loves a lot of things about living in London: his lucrative hedge fund job,
the way British women melt at the sound of an American accent, being thousands of miles away
from the girl who betrayed him. And, oh yes, his just-sex arrangement with his gorgeous roommate,
Jess.
His sexy British flatmate
Jess's deal with Jake suits her fine. No commitments, no risk of being hurt again, just fun and
friendship. And friends do each other favors, like agreeing to go on a trip to New York where Jake will
have to face his past.
And a vacation that will change everything...
What friends shouldn't do? Suddenly find themselves feeling something much more complicated
than simple lust. When "no strings" is no longer enough, will Jake be willing to take the ultimate
gamble?
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Friends With Benefits' by Laura Carter.
Read and reviewed for Laura Carter, Boldwood Books, Book & Tonic, NetGalley and Rachel's Random Resources Tours.
Publication date 16th October 2023.
This is the first book I have read by this author but it most definitely won't be my last!! It is also the third book in her 'Brits In Manhattan' series but can be read as a standalone.
This novel consists of 22 chapters. The chapters are short in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book has fantastic descriptions that set you straight in the scenes. The cover, title and synopsis suit the storyline perfectly.
Where the heck have you been hiding all my life Laura!!! Love, LOVE, LOVED this absolutely beautiful page turner!! An absolute must read!!!
OMG!!! I to get stuck in to all of Laura's previous books!! They are just guaranteed to be stunning!! I absolutely adored the gorgeous storyline An absolutely stunning book that takes you from London to France to Manhattan and takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. This is a story filled with friendship, heartache, regret, romance, family and just everything you could want in a gorgeous page turner!!! I was completely invested in this book from the very first page and was hooked throughout. I just could not put it down and ended up devouring it in one sitting!! Laura's stunning evocative writing skills really do bring the locations, emotions and the characters to life!! This is one of those books that is very easy to read and perfect for any reading situations whether you are laying on a beach or curled up in front of a fire. It is an absolutely ideal read for anyone who is looking for a beautiful and heart warming read that will have you hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely LOVED the realism of this storyline which made it so easy to picture everything that was going on which had been helped by Laura's fantastic evocative writing skills. I cannot wait to get hooked into more of her books so I hope she is busy writing her one while I get stuck into her previous books!! This is definitely one of those books that will turn a frown upside down and make life seem a lot brighter. I cannot wait to devour the rest of the books in this series and travel from the UK to the US over and over again. One moment I'm sitting on a sofa in rainy Wales and the next I'm strolling on a beach in the Hamptons!!! I just adored everything about this sexy friends with benefits page turner, especially the feel good ending!!!
Although this is the third book in the series I had absolutely no problems reading it without the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.
Well done Laura on an absolutely beautiful book!!! This may be the first book I have read by her but I cannot wait to get hold of more books by this extremely talented author!!!
The characters were all an eclectic mix and each one of them were realistic and strong. I was completely invested in them all. It also makes them more realistic, believable and made me feel even more for them than I normally would. They each had their own unique personalities with positive and negative behaviours. My heart went out to both Jake and Jess who both struggled with romance due to their pasts. They make a pact to stay as friends with benefits so neither can get hurt but when things start getting hot out of the bedroom can they stick to the pact and if they don't will they lose their friendship? I really adored all of these characters and felt the love with all of Jake's amazing family and friends. I adored the way they wrap Jess into their fold and made her feel part of the family. From heartbroken Jess to sexy Jake, brother Drew to b3113nd Marry these characters will stay with me for a long time!!! I loved meeting about them and learning about them as individuals as well as seeing their interactions with each other and seeing their friendships and relationships change and develop throughout. There were just so many amazing characters that I loved getting to know that I could write about them all day but I don't want to bore you so I'll start to wrap it up here. Each of the characters are memorable and unique in their own ways and they are a group that I wont be forgetting any time soon! A stunning rom com and an amazing group of unforgettable characters!!!
Pick up this book and get lost in this absolutely gorgeous page turner! This has got to be one of the most heartwarming books I have ever read 💜!!!
Congratulations Laura on an absolutely stunning read that I just could not put down!!! I am absolutely mind blown that I have never read any of your absolutely gorgeous books yet!! I am looking forward to reading more of your previous and future books. I would absolutely love to see this book turned into a movie!!! Welcome to my favourite author list and here's to your next success 🥂
Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the first chapter of Laura's 'Two To Tango' which is the second book in this series and promises to be just as gorgeous as this book. It is one I'm definitely looking forward to reading myself!!
Overall an unputdownable, gorgeous, STUNNING page turning book filled with romance, loss, friendship and so much more!! A gorgeous, romantic, funny and stunning read!!!!
234 pages.
This book is just £1.99 to purchase on kindle, free with kindle unlimited and £9.32 in paperback at time of review via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
