Veena’s review of Naughty Wishes, Part I: Body by Joey W. Hill
Erotic Romance published by Intermix 19 Jan 16
Ms. Hill has an uncanny ability to get to the heart of a relationship and squeeze every ounce of emotion from her readers, as her words leap off the pages bringing her characters and their experience alive. This is the start of what promises to be an electrifying experience for the reader as well as Sam, Geoff, and Chris.
We saw the yearning to be more than mere friends when we first met them in an earlier series from the author. Since that encounter Sam hasn’t seen any progress and decides to divide and conquer by forcing the issue with Geoff in Chris’s absence. Chris is absent in this entire episode, so this part of the story is told primarily from Sam’s point of view, but also gives us glimpses of what Geoff desires and wants.
Sam is deeply submissive and it’s amazing how she’s been able to hide it in the casual relationship she enjoys with her roommates. Since both men probably have feelings for her, neither has expressed an interest, particularly since they initially became roommates when they helped Sam escape an ugly situation. Geoff is also dominant and it’s clear that he has experimented with his desires. His visit to the hardware store and help from our Naughty Bits dominant are very nicely woven in.
Will Chris express his own desires when he returns? How will he mesh with Geoff and Sam’s needs and desires? We’re going to have to wait to find out, especially given the cliff hanger the author leaves us at with the ending of this portion of the story.
Summary:
In Naughty Wishes Part I, the fearlessly sensual author of Naughty Bits—and “one hell of a writer”*—now draws readers into the desires of one woman, and the two men who make her every fantasy come true.
Samantha and her roommates Geoff and Chris have always shared an innocent and casual intimacy, but for Sam it has cloaked a deeper desire that remains tantalizingly out of reach. The two men have been best friends since childhood, and that friendship keeps them frustratingly hands-off toward her and each other. She wants to respect their code of honor, but Sam craves something more primitive, and she knows they feel the same way. Maybe there’s a way to bring it out in both of them—one man at a time.
When Chris goes out of town for the week with his landscaping company, it’s time for her to initiate her adventurous goal. Her plan is to go toe-to-toe with Geoff, the alpha of their trio, and tease to life that Dominant side of him she’s waited so long for him to express. And Geoff is more than willing to claim her. But things don’t go exactly as planned. They’re even better
