The V Card: Good Love, Book 1

Wow, this book was so flirty, fun and sexy! I already loved Lauren Blakely but Lili Valente AND LB, well, that must be a recipe for everything amazing in a perfect romcom. This one was all steamy goodness, best friends little sister, friends to lovers and on and on! .Graham, who owns a sexy lingerie company, was the almost typical guy who loves women maybe a little too much! He's been there for his best friend and business partner Sean since said friend passed away. Graham and CJ's friendship is everything to them both since that fateful day. They are so sweet and adorable together! So when CJ gathers up every but of courage and hopes asking for what she wants doesn't forever ruin their friendship, Graham is floored and speechless by her request to say the least! She wants him to do WHAT???? To say he is shocked by her request is the understatement of the year.Well, nope, CJ really does want him to be her 1st and teach her everything he knows about sex! These characters were so much fun together as getting schooled in seduction never looked so good. How could you now love this book filled with touching, funny, special moments between these 2 friends who are in for the ride of their lives. Soooo, laughs, love and even a few tears were all for me as I enjoyed the hell out of this book. How I love a lighthearted romance with a killer sense of humor at least once a week!Recommend!

I am a huge Blakely fan and have read most of her books. That being said, this collaboration between her and Valente was just great. It took me a while to read this book as it kept getting upstaged by others. I am a reviewer for several other authors so it kind of got lost in the shuffle. So sorry I waited so long, it was lovely. A beautiful mixture of romance, humor and of course the always there: HEA; so well executed. This story not only gave you a wonderful mix of rom/com but it was sweet, loving and enlightening by going in depth in their respective heads. By giving you both POVs, you walked right along with each of them as they fell head over heals in love especially Graham. Being a man and a womanizer to boot, it was delightful to watch him tip over into the emotions he was so afraid to feel. I loved this book and I hope these two women due more together because it was magic.

Terrific story. Loved the characters!! Graham and his best friend start a business together but after a couple years, the best friend dies suddenly, leaving Graham in charge. He’s not only in charge of a company but also in charge of looking out for his friends sister. Graham and CJ are now best friends.CJ has grown up to be a strong independent woman and business owner. She’s gorgeous and successful but she’s now 25 and feels she’s missing out on something and that something is a relationship with a man. She feels she’s not experienced enough in seduction and luring a man to her bed. She’s also a virgin and ready to lose her “V” card. Who better to ask for instructions then from Graham, who happens to be a pro in the bedroom.Can friends remain friends if one teaches the other about seduction? Can they keep their friendship and their hearts separated from the lessons?

Ms. Blakely and Ms. Valente will hopefully join up to write more good books together.CJ needs to learn how to be seduced and get rid of her V Card in only seven days.Graham is more than willing to help. They have been good friends for years. Graham and Sean, CJ's brother, started a lingerie business together before Sean died.Everything about this book will hold your attention. There are so many sexy innuendos that will keep you reading nonstop.This is a great book and I recommend it.

These ladies have written an incredible, romantic, love story. I'm absolutely in love with this book. Graham and CJ are just the cutest couple and all it took was a lesson. I couldn't get enough of this story. I'm so happy they both found love with each after a tragedy. Im sad their story is over but can't wait to read more from Lauren and Lili.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Graham is my new favorite book boyfriend and CJ is his perfect match. I jumped in on their journey and I had a great time. Lauren Blakey is a great author and I've enjoyed so many of her books, this will be a "to be read again" book for me.

The story of C.J. and Graham is a story of friends. Graham was the best friend of C.J.’s brother, Sean, who is no longer with them. After C.J. makes a startling request for Graham’s tutoring the fun begins. They are so adorable together. Graham is a dream too!

What’s better than reading one author you adore? Why two of course!!! When I heard that Lauren Blakely and and Lili Valente were teaming up to write a novel, I nearly died with excitement. Unfortunately, I had to wait a fortnight to get my hands on this book. (Pressures of Christmas shopping, lol)But, OMG it was sooo worth the wait. Sexy, funny, just plain laugh out loud good. Brilliant from the first word to the last.Graham and CJ are friends, both suffering from the loss of CJ's big brother and Graham’s business partner. It’s taken them a while to recover from his death but now that they have reached this point. Now suddenly Graham is feeling things for CJ.Things he shouldn’t.But, then CJ asks him for help and he just can’t say no, even though he knows he should. He just can’t stand the thought of her with some other guy.Graham was a playboy with a hidden heart of gold. He and CJ were amazing together, their chemistry was red hot, and that, mixed with their long friendship just ramped up the swoon quotient. The banter was both witty and a little snarky.Both these authors are top of the league for Rom/Coms but together? They blew me away with this oh so sexy and fun story. I have no hesitation recommending this book. It’s so, so good.

I love Lauren Blakely’s writing and devour her books, but Lili Valente is new to me, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this co-authored book, well, let’s just say, I’m going to be looking out for more books by Lili. I loved this book. It was fun and sexy. It’s a quick read but complete, it wasn’t drawn out and it felt like the story had everything it needed, I didn’t ever feel like I was missing anything. I hope Lauren and Lili decide to team up again because the finished product is addictive and enjoyable. With plenty laugh out loud moments. I loved the Die Hard references, I was chuckling away, because, let’s face it, we’ve all quoted John McClane, right?Graham and CJ are fantastic, I loved them together so much, who doesn’t love friends to lovers, right? Graham is your typical sexy alpha guy, who has a dose of cockiness, and sweetness about him. I loved that he didn’t just dive in with CJ’s request, he thought about it and even sought help from a friend but in the end, he cared enough to help her. CJ is one awesome chick, she’s strong and feisty and knows what she wants. She hasn’t had the easiest time, and I loved that she didn’t come across as something being wrong with her because of her age, It was just something that hadn’t happened for her yet, some of us have been there, and it was a nice change of pace to other virgin stories. The fact that they had a shared loss, and kept thinking about that for different reasons made them seem even more suited and added an emotional layer to their characters and relationship. The banter they shared was perfection, I’m a sucker for good banter, and they had it in spades.The progression of their relationship was fast, I mean, it had to be, just look at the premise of the book. It’s a one-week deal, so they had to fall in love within that time, with that being said, it worked. It didn’t feel rushed, the way they started to develop feelings felt organic to them, and the experiences they were having. Let’s not forget the super-hot sex, the sex scenes in this book are going to melt your device, and they work so perfectly with the story. I adored their friendship, and that it played a pivotal role in their story, they were still friends throughout and worried about that aspect of the relationship. Was I annoyed at their lack of communication towards the end? Heck yes! I was shouting at my phone as I read about them making assumptions, rather than just telling the other how they felt, sure thing. Thankfully my shouting didn’t last too long and their happily ever after started just as it should. The inclusion of the two epilogues worked really well, and I loved both of them, but that’s all I’m going to say because I want you to experience them for yourself.

A lovely sweet but very very hot love story .Graham and his best friend had started a lingerie business which became very successful but unfortunately his best freind died as a result of being hit by a drunk driver .His sister CJ was left devastated by the loss of her brother and although she’d always been friendly with Graham over time she became very close to him .Graham how ever was a bit of a playboy but was keen to shake this image off .CJ was also keen to change things but with her it was her virginity and she wanted some grown up sex -ed tuition from non other than Graham . What starts out as a bit of fun soon turned into something a bit more .

CJ a 25yr old virgin, desperate to get rid of her V status decides, very bravely to proposition her best male friend, who has received glowing recommendations from his ex's regarding his bedroom performances, to assist her in losing said status.Graham is on a sex sabbatical after being pursued by a former partner, finds himself in a quandary following CJ's unorthodox request of teaching her how to rid herself of her V-status. A gloriously romantic and sexy story - with a very definite new conclusion.

Just finished reading this, has just the right amount of soppyness, & a tad predictable but I really enjoyed it. What a cute couple!I'd say it's written honestly from a virgins point of view, the older you are the MORE challenging it's going to be to find the right bloke, since you've waited so long or in some case's not had the opportunity, but it hangs over your head.DOESN'T mean your not educated on self-pleasure, but it's very different with a partner.Found it relatable, I fell for the one who took my V-card too.
