Took me a bit to read this. It should have been a quick read, however, I think I needed more substance. I didn’t dislike it and I will definitely read this author in the future.

Rated: 2.5
A super quick read, it was hot and spicy, but like I said--super quick. I was almost annoyed at how insta-love-esque the entire book was. It was not even a week together and they are already professing their undying love for one another. I love a good insta-love story if done well, and if I'm honest, I don't think this one hit the mark. Everything was fast paced and nothing felt organic. The BDSM was super bland and the characters were one dimensional at best. Both Olivia and Noah didn't have a backstory that translated well to their current life and I felt that they just lived and revolved around their trope, instead of the trope revolving around them and who they are. With that said, I had a super hard time connecting to the characters and believing their struggles.

So so sad. I don't know what is happening with these last several books but I am just not getting that same vibe that I got from this authors earlier books. The characters seem one dimensional and the love scenes just kind of feel recycled. I wanted to like these characters and for some reason just could not make the connection. No one writes better Dom/Sub novels than Ms. Kennedy but for some reason the magic is just not happening.. Her Club Sin novels were truly some of the best that I have ever read and I have read them over and over but something has switched in these last several novels and I cannot feel the connection.

Everyone deserves a Noah. A supportive, sexy, dominant that takes care of his woman.
Olivia is heartbroken, miserable at her job and living with her bestie because she can’t face the pain her house brings her.
They meet and have an instant connection. Not only does Noah excel at dominating Olivia, but he lifts her up and shows her how strong she is.

Noah and Olivia have a chemistry that set the pages on fire. The interaction between the two of them made the book a great read. Thank you. for allowing me to read this book.

Perfectly Inappropriate by Stacey Kennedy was an entertaining, sweet and sexy romance. Both Olivia and Noah are likable characters that I enjoyed getting to know. The chemistry was there from the beginning and the romance built up from there. All in all, it was good read.

Olivia met Noah when she needed to find her confidence, herself, and she needed to pull on her inner strength and believe in herself again. Noah thought Olivia was just like any other submissive he met, but she brought things out in him he didn't even know he was missing

For once, he isn't overthinking things. She is, after getting burned by going along with the dream. Things are steamy between them, off-the-charts hot, and they both lose themselves in it. When the world needs to be face though, she is shying away, and he wants to bring her along. They need to find the common ground that will allow them to be together, because Olivia doesn't want to be scared all time, and Noah finally wants to have someone around forever!

Olivia and Michael are in one of those arrangement type of things. Yes, one of those things. But Michael senses she's different than his usual sub from their very first meeting. Even though they're in an arrangement, what happens if (when) feelings develop? Michael doesn't want to bring her into his political life. The kind of life no one voluntarily signs up for unless they're the politician. And what of Olivia's dreams? Does she dare take them on? What if Michael gives her the confidence to go for what she wants? But what of her heart? She knows she's not fit for his world, so if her heart starts catching feelings, does she stick around for the inevitable heartbreak she'll be sure to suffer?

I really liked Perfectly Inappropriate. I just wish it had been a little longer, full novel-length rather than novella style because Olivia and Michael make a great couple. I wanted them to be together as an official couple longer, but because of the short length, I felt a bit let down. But aside from that minor quiggle, I liked everything else about this story. It's sexy, it's sweet, and Olivia and Michael are great characters, both individually and as a couple.

Timing! As the author say, it is everything. I thought Olivia was a great character, she fell but dusted herself off and moved forward. Noah, was so sexy, sweet and purposeful. They had great chemistry, dialogue and rapport. A really fun read.

This is a cute, mildly kinky, romance story. Its quick and fun with a happy-ever-after. While there a some elements of kink, this is more of a finding love type story than anything else.

Great book that was sexy, steamy and romantic. Stacey Kennedy knows how to bring the heat, and I loved every minute of this book.

Although Noah and Olivia were described as a "Dom" and a "Sub", this really didn't read as a "BDSM" book for me. There were some aspects of that throughout, but other than one scene, it was not a huge part of the story, in my opinion. That being said, I really did enjoy this book. There was an element of "insta-love" to it, but it didn't really feel unbelievable to me. Noah was pretty dreamy - in fact, he and Olivia were almost too "perfect" (but not in a Mary Sue kind of way). There was some conflict with Olivia's ex that got resolved pretty neatly, and I kind of wish she had a little more closure with him/that situation. Other than that ex situation for Olivia ad some of Noah's misguided good-intentions, this was a very low-angst book. My one complaint is that for some reason, I felt that Noah as a Senator from New York didn't quite read true for me. It wasn't enough to take me out of the story, but something about it bugged me a little. That being said, I'd definitely recommend this book!

Hot and sweet all in the same book. Noah was super HOT and oh so dominate, but Olivia was the sweet but not innocent sub he fell for. This story will suck you in from the beginning and will leave you wanting more at the end. Enjoyable read!

Olivia is looking for something new and exciting. She decides to go on a app that is set up for doms. She finds someone and her dreams of this lifestyle come true. It is only supposed to be for a week but that week turns into much more.

I thought that this was an ok book I felt that Olivia wasn't a strong character and that bothered me in a dom setting.

Olivia has always been the good girl but deep down she craves for something more. When she takes a chance on an app that connects her with the man she needs Olivia never dreamed of what might happen. Noah is the man for her but can the two become more than just friends? Their attraction is off of the charts and the two make a great pair but can it last and will it ever go beyond the bedroom? I enjoyed seeing the journey that Olivia and Noah take. Their story moves along nicely and is full of emotions. Olivia and Noah learn to love and trust in each other as they work towards their happiness. I really liked how strong and developed these characters are. Not only did they stand out but the secondary characters also had a lot to say. The author does a good job of mixing the angst and romance together in this book.

Daring desires lead to more than they bargained for! Well laid out backgrounds drew me into these characters immediately, and the sexual tension and growing feelings kept me coming back for more. I loved Olivia and Noah’s story! Must be okay with BDSM to enjoy!

Graphic designer Olivia Watts can’t deny that she’s in a rut. Her fiancee cheated on her, so she kicked him to the curb and now her life revolves around a dead end job that makes her miserable and nights spent with her best friend who she’s camping out with because she can’t stand to go home to the house it all fell apart in. She’s not ready for a relationship again, but she is ready for some fun, so when her bestie nags her to join a sexy new app filled with prestigious dominants, she hesitantly agrees.

NY Senator Noah Grant is a busy man with no time for games or strings, so he loves the freedom finding his playthings online affords him. He is hesitant when he meets Olivia just because he can tell she’s not been in his type of world before, but he is so intrigued that he invites her to be his for a week. Only problem is, a week isn’t nearly enough!

I loved this unconditional love story. It starts by Olivia catching her fiancé and maid of honor in her bed. She is devastated to say the least. She has been with her fiancé for ten years, high school sweethearts. But she remains strong and with the help of her other best friend Paige, she decides to do something she would never do and sign up for a BDSM dating site. At her initial meeting, she is taken aback because her soon to be Dom is the New York senator, Noah Grant. He sweeps Olivia off her feet with his beauty and strength and their chemistry. They agree to one week together. But Noah is breaking all his rules with Olivia because she totally is not what he expects and he can’t get enough of her. Their romance is a whirlwind of heat and passion and discovery. I loved their journey together. I loved reading both their points of view. And the story touched on some BDSM themes, but was more emotional. A great romance.

This is an absolutely delightful romance with a touch of heat to keep things interesting. Olivia does everything after carefully considering the logistics of each choice. Heartbroken by her fiancé and best friend's betrayal she takes a walk on the wild side by signing up for a BDSM website and embarks on a journey of discovery and healing.
It was definitely fate that a heartbroken Olivia hears about the online application SiR and without further ado finds herself signed up on it thanks to her persuasive best friend. The handsome senator whom she meets through the app is a surprise and he takes her on a journey full of tenderness, passion and self discovery.
Noah has been a long time dominant and user of SiR who finds himself breaking all his rules when it comes to Olivia. The relationship soon explodes out of the secrecy of his bedroom to lunches and dinners as the two explore what makes each other tick. His protectiveness when Olivia's sleazy ex-fiancé comes adds emotional depth to the story.
I love feel good stories that are well paced with fully fleshed out characters. I'd love to see more from Ms. Kennedy with some of the other characters we've met here

I was excited by the blurb of the book-basically an inexperienced woman connecting with a dominant senator to explore BDSM- but unfortunately, this one didn't really click with me.

There are romances where a speedy timeline works; unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. The things the heroine (Olivia) was expecting the hero (Noah) to make decisions on after a WEEK was ridiculous. And it wasn't even a week of dating, just a sexual arrangement. Even if it started growing into more, her expectations were over the top.

And the heroine...bleh. A total Mary Sue that literally everyone just loved inexplicably.

Although the writing flowed in a readable way, a lot of the descriptions were very repetitive and more "tell than show" (I prefer the opposite). Saying over and over how Noah did things a certain way because he was a Dom. OK, I think we get that; it's one of the main points of the book. Or saying why he liked Olivia because her perspective on things was different, which I didn't really get a good feel for, except for some dull opinions of hers that kept being explained.

Yeah, wasn't a good fit here.

I loved Perfectly Inappropriate. After Olivia finds her fiancé with another woman, she meets Noah on an app for D/s relationships. I really like Noah, and how he dealt with his relationship and feeling for Olivia. Overall a great story, and quite steamy too!
