Guest Review: Foreplay – Sophie Jordan

Before she goes after the life she’s always wanted, she’s about to find the one she needs.

Pepper has been hopelessly in love with her best friend’s brother, Hunter, for like ever. He’s the key to everything she’s always craved: security, stability, family. But she needs Hunter to notice her as more than just a friend. Even though she’s kissed exactly one guy, she has just the plan to go from novice to rock star in the bedroom—take a few pointers from someone who knows what he’s doing.

Her college roommates have the perfect teacher in mind. But bartender Reece is nothing like the player Pepper expects. Yes, he’s beyond gorgeous, but he’s also dangerous, deep—with a troubled past. Soon what started as lessons in attraction are turning both their worlds around, and showing just what can happen when you go past foreplay and get to what’s real…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

4.5 Cocktails

I thought I had a good college experience….Pepper’s takes the cake! I love that Sophie Jordan takes the college and losing your inhibitions to a whole new level. You feel like you are sitting back in college chatting with your girlfriends with Pepper and her friends.

I love that Pepper looks at losing her V card as a task to check off her list and not something to be enjoyed. The fact that she is fixated on Reece to be the chosen one is hilarious. Every girl that went to college had a least one bartender that you swooned over. Reece is that guy. Of course, there is more to him then an incredible body, outstanding bartending skills and a quick tongue.

The dialogue between Pepper and friends on the dos and don’ts of foreplay made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed the moments where the girls are getting ready, throwing clothes around and trying to look their best. We all remember nights like that.

In the beginning, I loved that Pepper judged Reece only from his appearance and idle campus gossip…haven’t we all done that. What Pepper finds underneath the rough exterior is something that she can relate too. She ignores the similarities between her and Reece because she spent her entire life loving her best friend’s brother. She believes she just wants to be part of their “perfect” family.

Pepper soon realizes that the ideal she created in her head of what “perfect” is and what is actually “perfect” in reality are different. Watching her come to understand her feelings is the exceptional part of this book. But of course, I can’t say the actual foreplay scenes weren’t steamy and worth reading twice!
