"LandepNews"
Coffee shop owner Sadie Long has been lusting after her good friend Paul Williams for years. So she's more than a little intrigued when he invites her to a business meeting at Mavericks, the sex club where he works. While catering an event at the club is not quite the proposition she was hoping for, her business could use the boost. And she can't resist the chance to work closely with Paul in such a sexually charged atmosphere. Enter the club's hot owner, Josh, and suddenly Sadie's fantasizing about being part of a threesome.
Paul has always wanted Sadie, but never thought she'd see him as anything more than a friend. On the night of the party, he and Josh tempt Sadie to reveal her deepest desire—a desire both men are eager to help fulfill.
Giving in to her sensual side, Sadie enjoys a night of mind-blowing sex. But in the light of day, will she lose Paul as a friend, or gain him as a lover?
I have only read one book by Christine d'Abo previously and I really enjoyed it. I was really looking forward to this contemporary romance of her's and it did not disappoint.
Sadie is the baker at her family owned coffee shop and she wants to build the catering side of their business. When her friend Paul asks her to cater an anniversary event for his sex club, she jumps at the chance. She also looks forward to spending time with Paul because even though they are really good friends, they haven't spent a lot of time together recently.
Paul is also looking forward to spending more time with Sadie. He's been attracted to her for a long time and the stars have aligned, they are both single and he's ready to let his intentions be known.
Double Shot, although of a shorter length than I prefer, worked for me on several levels. First, Sadie and Paul are friends and that's a favorite theme of mine. It also means that these two have a history and so the love scene doesn't feel rushed. Paul is also friends and work partners with Josh, so they have a history as well. Even though Sadie doesn't know Josh, she's comfortable with him for the most part because Paul knows him. I also enjoyed Double Shot because of Sadie's family dynamic. She runs the coffee shop with her brother and sister and we see enough interaction between them to give their characters depth and to look forward to their stories (as this is a trilogy).
I really enjoy Christine's writing and Double Shot was no exception. I am really impressed with how much she packed into this novella. If you are looking for a well written but steamy story, Double Shot is the way to go. I am looking forward to Paige's story. 4 out of 5
