Take Two : A Contemporary New Adult Sexy Short Story

Short, but sexy short story between FMC Anne and her two male best friends. The trust between them is desirable, and this was such a palatable why choose romance.

This was great! It was a short easy novella that I read in one sitting. It was super high heat and the sexual chemistry between the three characters was great! But there was also enough depth and emotion to feel for these characters and hope they had a happy ending together! Such an easy read!

I just started listening to this arc this morning while doing my chores, and I must say this book is short because I just literally started and now 27% of the book is read. Thank you to Netgalley and publisher. If you like your books spicy than this is definitely for you! My full review is to follow as I will listen to this arc again later tonight. It’s the 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ part so I’ll have to come back to this arc later on evening and listen to my other arcs for the time being while I workout and do my chores.

A short and steamy story! I thought the book had a lot of spice and a simple plot. It was an easy book in between ones that are more complex. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Exactly as advertised. Sm^t with a HEA. Also contains some degradation k!nk as a fair warning. Over all with the evening read and I'll pick up books by this author again.

Short novella of three students who decide to take their friendship to the next level and travel around Europe together having a lot of steamy fun on the way. For a short book the characters have a lot of personality and the plot is still a driving force of the story.

3.5 Stars!

This book is a short and sweet story will only being 38 pages long. It was a quick read and for all you romance and smut lovers - very ideal! Of course it was short so you only really got a small glimpse into the three characters, Anne, Nathaniel and Theo. This book was very steamy and has somewhat of a snapshot of a storyline too.

Thank you to NetGalley for this copy in exchange for a review.

Short but steamy.

I would have like more preamble to the story and a little bit more substance. But as a short story it's quick good read.

**Review for *Take Two: A Contemporary New Adult Sexy Short Story* by Ava Colt**

In *Take Two*, Ava Colt delivers a quick and steamy read that captures the essence of youthful exploration and romance. The story revolves around Anne and her two male best friends, Nathaniel and Theo, as they navigate their feelings and relationships during a trip across Europe. At just 38 pages, the novella leans heavily into its erotic elements, with sizzling scenes that ignite the pages from the start.

While the narrative primarily focuses on the sexual chemistry and dynamics of a polyamorous relationship, it lacks deeper character development. Readers looking for a robust plot may find the storyline somewhat thin, but the book excels in its exploration of trust and the complexities of modern relationships. The dialogue occasionally feels stilted, yet Colt’s writing effectively conveys the passionate connection among the trio.

Overall, *Take Two* serves as a fun, lighthearted escape for fans of high-heat romance and quick reads. If you’re in the mood for a fast-paced, steamy adventure without the weight of heavy themes, this novella is worth a try

A VERY short story about a threesome of students exploring Europe AND each other! A super cute why choose, short enough that I couldn't classify it a romance it is mostly just smut but it's got a cute little story with it, and it's a happilyy ever after so I have no complaints! Plus, a little bit of consensual degradation kink was thrown in there so I am eating well tonight!!

3½ Stars

Anne, Theo & Nathaniel are college students who are studying abroad. Anne is attracted to Theo & Nathaniel, and the guys are both attracted to Anne. After a night out, the guys decide to gauge Anne's interest in being with them both for the night. Unbeknownst to the guys, this is something Anne has fantasized about, but she wasn't sure if the guys felt the same way. This starts the friends off on a summer fling that could potentially lead to more.

I liked this short, sweet, and streamy read. It was a little heavier on the plot than I expected, which was okay with me. There were a few information dumps with details that weren't really necessary. I also felt like the dialogue was a little clunky at times.

The story seemed to get better as it went along. The ending was satisfying and felt like the characters were headed into an exciting new chapter in their lives.

A short sexy story in three parts. Life moves and forwards in three chunks in this book, including a beautiful villa with a beach and New York City. There’s a little time outside the bedroom, but most of the book is Ann and her two men engaged in sexy time. this short story is very much a short story however it is exciting and erotic and worth the read..

It was hot, it was sexy and it was short! A perfect palate cleanser for those who love steamy sex scenes and this one had 2 guys! It was pitched just right.

A short story with a lot of steam! This book was exactly as advertised and it was a hot read. The plot was simple but the spice was fantastic between the characters. Thank you NetGalley, and Ava Colt for the gifted copy.

A spicy and quick read. I enjoyed learning about the characters, and would love to see this develop into something more - series or a novel. Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC.

Not my normal genre by any means, but a short, steamy read! Its tough to believe Nathanial and Theo would not have jealously between them, but definitely a quick read! Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the free e-copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

this was a quick, easy, spicy read!! i was looking for something exactly like that when i requested this book so it was so perfect. if you want great spice, mmf, a novella with little plot, and just a quick smutty read then this is for you.

Take Two delivers a perfectly spicy, quick read with all the heat promised by its synopsis and just enough plot to keep things moving. The scenes are well-crafted, and the descriptions are both vivid and imaginative—a fun escape when you're looking for something steamy and straightforward.

I enjoyed this book. It’s exactly as described, little plot but has sexy MFM scenes. It was a quick read. I would read more from this author!

Even tho it says in the disclaimer: "If you're looking for a full-length plot, this is not the book for you."
That doesn't mean that it's a book without beautifully written sentences. I especially thought the talk about what other people might think about someone's sexual preferences was written in a gorgeous way. A brief story that makes you long for more.

Why choose between your best friends when you can have them both? 
We follow three characters navigating the end of school and what will they do next.
This is a short novella full of spice and how a threesome between friends can make a stronger connection binding them, not just in friendship but in something more intimate. 

Colt writes three characters from very different backgrounds and how their differences do not matter, its about how they feel towards one another that counts.

This was a great novella, but like all novellas you will always want more.

This was so deliciously perfect! I'm 1000% keeping this in my kindle library for when slow burns are just taking too long. It gets right to the point, the storyline behind the spice is perfectly sweet. You need to add this to your tbr. It's a quick read and definitely worth it. I need more from Ava Colt ASAP.
