Foolproof

By: Leigh Hays

Narrated by: Lula Larkin

Martine Roberts and Elliot Tillman’s childhood friendship was intense. When they bump into each other again 30 years later, sneaking out of an apartment after one-night stands with a pair of roommates, all their feelings come rushing back.

Elliot needs a place to stay, and Martine needs a roommate. It should be simple, but it’s not friendship simmering between them. Growing up in Key West, rum distiller Martine has friends and family to spare, but her deepest heart she keeps to herself. With her career in the Coast Guard, Elliot’s never had a permanent address and didn’t mind, until moving in with Martine gives her a home. Now she wants to chart a different course with a woman who likes her relationships short and seasonal? Perfect.

Sometimes friends with benefits isn’t a foolproof way to hide from the truth at the heart of an affair.

Whoa. Worth a thousand stars.

This was unexpected…. In the best way possible!
Don’t let the sample audio or lack of written reviews turn you away. The book left me speechless. I was hesitant to write a review myself because don’t know how to give it the credit it deserves.

Title details are accurate. Established adult out lesbians. Less extreme takes on the common lesfic threads of the military and rekindled friendships. Woman in the Coast Guard reunites with a brief friendship from when she was 10.

And the sex, wow. That definitely left me speechless. Explicit but relatable. Body parts are called what they are, no cringey pseudonyms or adjectives. It was also nice to hear how the author incorporated consent, check-in, trust.

I’m not sure if it’s because I listened to this all in one go while I was traveling by car but I was so invested in these women! I laughed out loud, gasped in disbelief, and even scowled with irritation. Team Elliott all the way.

Caught off Guard

This book was way better than I was ever expecting it to be. I loved both main characters loved the pacing and build up of sexual tension. Some scenes from this book have been living rent free in my head for days. Will be listening to this one again in the future. Already sent it to some friends as a have to get book. If you like a steamy book this is for you.

Amazing

What a wonderful story it was sexy and romantic and oh so steamy!! Loved this book. Thank you!

Sexy girls

Sex was great and fun! It really makes me horny and wet. Easy to masturbate.

Great story!

The author weaved an intricate, and complex narrative for the main characters. They both had their own internal angst that needed to be dealt with. Once resolved, their chemistry was off the charts! I wish there was a story about the supporting characters. Hope the author considers it. Lula Larkin was a wonderful narrator for this story! Bravo!

Wowza!

Full stop! If you can't handle a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️, then go no further. This is a well-written Friends to Lovers, Friends with Benefits, and Miscommunication book. Although it's a bit short I enjoyed it.
Spicey scenes are well done and eventually enter the Dom/Sub ??? arena.

Boring. Not for me.

I could barely make it through to the end of this book. I hate listened to the last couple of hours. I’m not a quitter so I powered through. I was very disappointed in both of the main characters. Neither character has any self confidence or self esteem. They question every thing they do, causing them to do nothing. There isn’t any conflict in the book until the very end when one of the characters says “I love you” and the other one can’t handle it. Everyone knows that conflict is what makes story telling interesting. Without it stories are boring which this one is. I also have to mention that the sex scenes made me laugh. The characters are so timid and shy in their everyday lives but when they end up having sex they play a dominant/submissive role with light BDSM. So unbelievable for these characters. I would not recommend reading or listening to this book. There are better ones to spend your money on.
