“I want to learn what it’s like to love se* and I want to pay you for the research.”

Whoa, whoa…what?

The first part of that sentence was a dream come true for a guy. The second part is the one that left me shocked and speechless.

Two things I didn’t think were possible since I’m a bartender. I’ve heard some stories, man.

The pint sized Naomi Taylor, my adorable new neighbor, has my full and undivided attention. She seems to think since I’ve had my fair share of relationships, I’d be the perfect one to give her lessons on the steamy side of life.

Then she shows up at my front door wearing her pink raincoat and very little else…

One lesson turns into five and I’m looking forward to class every night.

Now my star student has a job offer 600 miles away and I have to find a way to convince her to take a chance on me—and us—without a lesson plan.

Author Note: Colder & Naomi's story is an insta-love, super spicy short-ish novel with no cheating and a very happily ever after.

Tropes: Teacher and Student, Forced Proximity, Hot Neighbor, InstaLove, He Falls First, He Falls Hard, Seriously...the guy is all into the girl in this book! Swoons aplenty. O's aplenty.

MY REVIEW

Naomi's lost her job and having a hard time deciding what to do next, when her best friend and temp roommie Iona convinces her to try finishing the book she's always wanted to write. Sounds good, but when she can't get the yummy scenes down accurately, she needs a bit of...instruction and inspiration. Cue Colder, flirtatious bartender and her new temp neighbor. Asking him for some one on one lessons is her most inspired idea yet. And could be a life changer, if their personal baggage does not get in their way.


Colder and Naomi start off as student/teacher but along the way they become friends and much more. Though this is definitely shorter than the average novel, its short length does not take away any of my enjoyment or any of their complete characterizations. Their chemistry is HOT, so delicious, but what I love most is how they manage to both grow and find themselves while falling head over heels in love. What an epic way for this duo to start a new series. Now I'm impatiently waiting for their best friends' story when Iona and Duncan clash and end up in love in The Roommate Experiment.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
