Love Affair With Ficti

I’ve been fortunate enough to read every book RS Grey has published. Every book has been a five star, if not six star read for me and that is no exaggeration. So when I say fortunate, I mean it. Naturally, when I found out she was writing The Duet I wanted it like yesterday. I had such great expectations and after the first page, I knew my anticipation for it had been so worth it. Even better, my expectations were met ten fold. It had me laughing out loud on page 1 and I didn’t stop through the entire book. I knew she would have me laughing, she always does. But this one was different – it made me sigh, tear up, swoon and smile the entire way through. And that’s because of RS Grey’s amazing ability of making me drawn to each character she writes. She manages to create depth in each character – it doesn’t matter if they’re a primary or secondary character, they have strength and emotion and she makes them an important part of the story, and one you are drawn to.

Jason & Brooklyn are rock stars. They might be as opposite as it comes from a professional stand point and possibly their personal lives too, but when they come together it’s impossible to not see how similar they are. They’re lyricists, musicians, over achievers, stubborn to the core, smart a$$es, but mostly they’re lovely people. Jason is intense, somewhat of a brooder, beyond sexy and all man. Brooklyn is light hearted, beautiful, happy and sweet. Oh and she hates spiders so she’s pretty perfect in my book. Brooklyn and her sister Cammie are to each what every woman desires to be to their friend, sister, aunt, mother – you get the picture. They’re as close knit to each other as sisters can be and their relationship is nothing short of hysterical and adorable.
‘”No need, sissaroo, because I had sex just last month.” She was full on gloating. What a dirty hooker. You don’t gloat about having sex to someone during her dry spell. Had I taught her nothing?’ <<Just a taste of the awesomeness that is Cammie & Brooklyn’s no filter and no boundaries relationship.

When Jason & Brooklyn get paired together to write a duet for an upcoming Grammy Awards performance, the new duo find themselves in the middle of a sexual tension tornado they can’t seem to escape from. Trying to write a duet with someone you’ve only just met, and quite honestly don’t like all that much, proves to be quite challenging, especially when you’ve only written solo before. So they decide on some inspired and, well, stimulating (wink wink) ways to get their creative juices flowing. As they sing and strum their way through new lyrics and melodies, do they give way to the sexual chemistry that could make or break the duet? “I hope you got a good look because you’re never going to see this a$$ ever again,” I joked. Jason’s amused smirk turned into something a little more dangerous. He stepped forward and gripped my robe, just below my hips, and bent down so his mouth hovered over mine. “No worries, Sweet Cheeks. I’ve been told I have quite the memory,” he said as I held my breath.

Jason & Brooklyn battle their way through co-writing The Duet as well as finding a piece of their self that maybe, just maybe, had stayed hidden for quite some time. I loved their banter, their steamy exchanges, the depth of their character and the overall melt-your-heart feel of The Duet. Don’t hesitate to grab this gem – you will devour it just like I did!
