Original thoughtfully written steamy romance

Stacey Kennedy is a solid writter whose books I always look forward to reading. Perfectly Inappropriate was truly another treat. Olivia and North the main characters have amazing chemistry from their very first meet. They both have baggage and it was fascinating watching them peel each other's protective layers off. The dominance in this book is subtle. This is not your typical Dominant kink story, but so much more. One of the most interesting books I've read this year.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

So full of Heat and Heart💚💙
This read had me tuned in and turned on.
Fate plays a huge part in life and Olivia, thankfully got out of a rut to find herself, due to a fateful afternoon.
The chemistry between her and Noah was crackling from the pages. Again fate takes over and what starts as fun ends up being taken very much deeper, but with obstacles so there are issues.
The whole journey touches on all emotions and the HEA is big happy sigh from me.
I received an ARC thru Net Galley and am giving an honest review.

I love this book! Loved the characters and the storyline. Olivia and Noah's story was steamy and unconventional but so sweet too. 5 stars

Such a great story. I'm so glad that Olivia went out of her comfort zone, took a chance and did something perfectly inappropriate so she could meet Noah. I loved it.

After finding her fiancée with another woman, Olivia takes the leap into one of her private desires and signs up for a “dating” site that connects subs and doms. She’s looking for something to help make her feel whole again, to feel herself, to help find that part that she lost so long ago. When she is connected with Noah, things instantly click for them both and soon all the rules that were set at the beginning are quickly being tossed aside as they create their own rules together.

I’m not a huge fan of BDSM, but I am a fan of this author and I wanted to take a chance on this book. I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved the level of intensity between Olivia and Noah, the natural rhythm of their relationship and their ability to give each other what they were lacking. Not just sexually, but emotionally. The BDSM took a backseat in my opinion and didn’t bother me in the least. If anything, it proved to be the catalyst that brought Olivia to the place where she was able to stand on her own and take what she wanted from life.

This is a fast paced read with plenty of steam and the secondary characters were perfect in their roles. I actually hope to see Olivia’s friend Paige in her own story.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and Random House - Loveswept. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Occasionally one finds a book to enjoy with just the right mixture of all the ingredients to a wonderful romance. What i call a "feel good" romance. Likeable characters, a believable plot, depth to the relationship, humor and great dialogue! This book hit the mark! The romance was hot, the chemistry was felt while the relationship developed. Noah and Olivia read like real world people with real pasts. I especially liked that the internal dialogue was well balanced with the story itself. It didnt bog the book down. I also liked that while Noah and Olivia had issues to deal with they were honest with one another. No " misunderstanding plot" gimmicks. The BDSM scenes were refreshingly innovative. The sex was part of the story not the story itself. It was a transformative vehichle. Interesting.
Highly recommended!

I received an arc copy free of charge and am providing an honest unbiased review.

First off, if you know me you know I hate cheating, no matter who in the story was doing it. It's even worse when there's a play by play, but since it's not the main character or love interest doing it, I can let it slide because I enjoyed the rest of the story. Olivia is put through a lot even though she plays it safe. Tired of where being a good girl got her--homeless, a lackluster job and losing her fiance and best friend to each other--she decides to throw caution to the wind and signs up for a submissive match app. Little did she know that she would be matched up with the Senator, Noah Grant. Discretion is even more important in their case due to Noah's high position. The chemistry between them are ardent and the more time they spend together, the more Noah breaks his rules and the closer they get. Neither of them expected anything more than what they signed up for, and they both find themselves wondering what they're willing to risk and fight for if they want to be together.

Olivia and Noah were a great combination of hot and sweet.

They meet through SiR and neither are looking for a relationship. Olivia fresh out of an engagement gone wrong and Noah, who is in politics, who won't subject anybody else to his life style. So, what happens when feelings develop and a misunderstanding occurs? Will they work past it or give up on what they have found with each other.

You just can't go wrong with a Stacey Kennedy book.

This book is about Noah and Olivia who have an unconventional start of a relationship. Olivia walks in on her fiancé cheating on her with her best friend. So her other best friend takes her in then convinces her to sign up for an exclusive BDSM dating app. Senator Noah Grant picks her to be his submissive and he teaches her that she’s worth more than being cheated on during their week together. There are hot steamy scenes and the story takes both Noah and Olivia where they didn’t think they were ready to go.
I really liked that even though Olivia didn’t feel strong after having the end of her engagement happen like it did that Noah showed her how strong she was, it’s refreshing to have a strong heroine who pushes through a bad situation.

This was a really quick read. I polished it off in a couple of hours. Olivia is recovering from the betrayal of her fiancé and best friend. In an attempt to move on, she signs up for a BDSM dating site (something that is totally out of character for her). She meets Noah, a powerful senator, on the site and they start a relationship. There is a lot of push and pull between the two characters as they attempt to overcome their reservations with relationships and each other.

First this book is well written and has great characters with an amazing story line. Where do I start.,,,,Going through the pain of boyfriend / best friend who betrays you is heartbreaking. Next the meeting a man who begins to understands you and makes the hurt go away is a special way starting all over. You can't let the past control your life and the need to look into the future with a man who gets you is truly an awakening. Again, great book! Thank you for sharing your writing with the world..

Perfectly Inappropriate is a quick, steamy read. Despite the quick connection between Noah and Olivia they were such a good match. Olivia needed someone to build up her spirits after all that happened with her jerk of an ex and Noah was the perfect man for the job. He pushed her limits but also showered her with care and concern for her well being and respected and encouraged her interests.

Olivia's BFF was awesome as was Noah's mom. I wish a little more had happened with her other "friend" but I love how things worked out with the jerk of an ex.

For a BDSM book, this was surprisingly...vanilla. The heroine had been hurt in a previous relationship and yet decided to rush headlong into a new one. It felt rushed, the characters seemed very shallow, and I can’t figure out when they would’ve had time to fall in love.

this book was ok but I didn't like the insta love.i felt like he was a rebound and too soon. I didn't think the Dom element was needed. Especially because they never addressed him using an app to find women for a week at a time. I like to think their relationship could have developed more organically. A big deal was made of her list of wants and none of it was even addressed

This was a good book overall. I liked that the hesitation of getting into a relationship so soon after one ending was more an issue for Olivia. It was nice to see characters acting like real people and thinking about repercussions before getting into a relationship.
It seemed like the book should be called Fate Leads Us since everything lead Noah and Olivia to be together and Olivia following her dreams.

"For once, Olivia, don't be the good girl. Do something perfectly inappropriate, all because you can."

I enjoyed Stacey Kennedy's Club Sin series so I decided to check out her latest standalone. While one has nothing to do with the other, one thing is consistent in her stories. She writes a gentle but bossy man with a big heart very well.

Right from the beginning, I was on team Olivia. She's been dealt a bad hand in life so far and deserves a win. All the years she wasted on her cheating ex can never be regained. There's not enough tears, chocolate or wine to solve her problems, but she does have a best friend to listen and offer her a place to stay. Like the good friend that she is, not only is she helping her drown her sorrows, but she's got a plan to cheer her up. Why not fulfill a fantasy or two by trying out this hot new dating app everyone is talking about? She gets the info and encourages her to step outside of her comfort zone and try something new. Playing it safe hasn't paid off for her. Not with her fiancé, her house, or her job. So, why not? What has she got to lose that she hasn't already lost?

Woo Hoo! What an adventure it was to join Olivia on her quest to find herself. I don't blame her. I'd love to get lost in the arms of sexy Noah and then look for myself there later. Rinse. Repeat.

Perfectly Inappropriate took me a few places I wasn't expecting and that's a good thing. There are pain and loss but also empowerment and discovery. Olivia got lucky with the perfect man to introduce her to what she had been missing without evening knowing it. "He didn't want only to wake her body up tonight. He wanted to erase the damage others had caused. The slight pain she could not hide." Too bad he only has her for a week and then the fantasy will be over...right?

ANOTHER PERFECT STORY FROM STACEY KENNEDY! I wish I could give this a 10! I felt so bad for Olivia in the beginning. I love her friend Paige and how they find out about the SiR app. Noah is one hot Dom. I love books that are hot and sexy but make me go AWWWW!!! I love that he has set rules (which is why he uses the app) but every chance he gets he is changing them for her. I loved his Mom and her parents! It's just a blip in time!!! The ending was the best HEA I could ask for.

Finished this one is a couple of hours. You've got Noah who is a Dom and Olivia who wants to get out of her box and move on from her ex. Noah helps her in many ways and she's finally ready to pull her big girl panties up and take care of some business. There's some BDSM in here, nothing over the top or crazy. If you like insta love stories with a couple that has some serious chemistry together, I'd say check this one out.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

I really enjoyed Perfectly Inappropriate. You can only resist so long before you are head over in heals in love. apparently the time frame for love for this couple was 1 week!
The author does a great job with the immediate chemistry and heat

Loved the book especially the ending and the epilogue.
