BOOK ONE

The gorgeous cover of Cocoa Butter Kisses though sensual is a cover for a story that is 
more vulgar than sexy. 

To make a short story shorter, the blurb gives the book more depth than it actually 
contained. I hadn’t even realized this story was under 50 pages, otherwise, I would have
passed. It’s very difficult to capture a story of the caliber the blurb implies in such a short 
space of time. 

Ava works at a tattoo shop with a mouthy arrogant boss—and though I like men with a 
little attitude in my books, Roman’s attitude toed the line of disrespectful a little too 
closely. Let’s be real, he crossed the line—and had no intention of turning back. 

With pick up lines that shouldn’t work on anyone, he pulled Ava into a work relationship 
she didn’t really want. Good looks and good D won her over. While that’s far from 
unrealistic it was just a bit much for me.

Everything happened so fast, the lingo felt dated and Roman was an asshole who deemed
 her unladylike due to her smoking habit—which is a bad habit obviously but his position
 felt more like an attack than an observation from a man who claims to be “feeling her.”

Not to mention his stances were critical and not in a way that would tempt even the
“baddest” of girls. Mentions of her lips looking ready to suck a penis, and the mention of 
them being a God-given penis sucking machine rubbed me every way but right. 

With more time, time to let the reader come to grips with the budding relationship, time to
allow the reader to understand Ava’s tough lifestyle—and just more development would 
have made this serial-style novelette more appealing. 


BOOK TWO

Book two was better. However, it maintained the same lack of depth and meaningless, 
passionless sex that we encountered in book one.

Though the writing seemed to catch up to what was expected, the characters seemed clueless to the other’s needs which resulted in a lot of sex that only served to cover the many issues that lurked beneath
  the surface of their relationship not relationship

There’s a lack of respect from Roman towards Ava—the argument about not using condoms made me cringe and would send any woman with an iota of common sense running for the hills. 

This book would have better served its purpose as one lengthy novel—but if sex on
repeat and dramatic climactic-less endings are your thing, Cocoa butter kisses will satisfy 
your every need.
