A steamy smoking hot romance with the twist that won't leave you wanting more.

This was an interesting book. Both main characters overcame traumatic challenges as the story developed. Their romance was far from conventional but kept me engaged.

It was an interesting, different story.Not your run of the mill boy meets girl. I liked it well enough, but I couldn't identify with the characters. 3 out of 5 stars.

Initially, I skipped past this book because while the cover was intriguing, it was also off putting. When I decided to read the blurb I was curious. Then I reread the blurb and decided that this just sounded too unique to turn away. I am so glad I decided to delve into this work by Ms. Omah.
Abigail is struggling to overcome a traumatic past and in the process is allowing all kinds of new things into her life. One of those items is Jayden. He’s overconfident, egocentric, and one heck of a book boyfriend once this story gets to moving. Jayden is that wonderful alpha hero that absolutely must have his woman at any cost. Unfortunately, there is a cost and he almost loses her due to some of his earlier decisions.
I had never even heard of sexsomnia but I can totally see it as something that would knock a person off kilter when they learn they have it. What kind of trust would it take to sleep next to someone if you were the person suffering with this condition? To know that at any point during the night, while you are completely unaware, you are making sexual advances towards the person next to you.
This is a fast paced read with a couple that are both emotionally scarred and somewhat unwilling to let it go. Told in dual points of view, I absolutely loved Jayden’s train of thoughts. He is such a man. Sometimes you’d like to just smack him a good one for his idiotic ways. Of course, that’s all a part of what makes him incredibly appealing.
I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. It will certainly be one of those books that I’ll always remember.
Safety - The H considers having sex with another woman at the very end of the book but it is only a brief thought and he is very drunk; he is interrupted from his thoughts

It was the first book I've ever read by Anya Omah, and it won't be the last :)
I really liked Abigail, the female character: she knows what she wants, she doesn't let anyone dictate her life or walk over her (see the first encounter with Jayden).
Jayden, well, I must admit that I really liked him until his decision not to tell Abigail about his involvement in her study: I felt like it was a little forced. I mean, she confessed everything, about her past, about what happened to her, while he didn't say anything in return, nor about HIS past, nor about what he was doing.
I liked the dialogues between Abigail and Jayden, really captivating, funny and witty!
Another thing that caught my interest was the sexsomnia topic: a really interesting subject to talk about !

What an interesting read!! I liked Abigail from the very first page- she was such a dynamic character. And of course Jayden was just the perfect ideal of an alpha male. I loved how Abigail put him in his place straight off.
The subject matter was intriguing & the author did such a good job of telling a fascinating story with a difficult topic.
I look forward to reading more by Anya Omah.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

The book’s gorgeous cover and title first caught my eye but when I read the synopsis I knew this was a story that would be just that little bit different.
Yes, this story is about an uber wealthy businessman but having felt slightly jaded with the genre to date, I found this storyline pleasantly refreshing. It helped that the author knows how to write extremely well and to tell a good story. I read the reviews, well the ratings, for the German version of the book, which was released prior to the English version, and the story was definitely a hit in Germany so I felt confident in giving this book a read and quickly moved it to the front of my TBR list.
The story centres around two main characters: Jayden King (aka the businessman) and Abigail Davis, Jayden’s soon-to-be employee. Despite Jayden making a less than spectacular impression on Abigail, when meeting her on her way to a job interview with him, he sees something in this determined young woman that intrigues him and despite initially sending her running in the opposite direction, he sets about getting her to accept him and his proposal. When attempts to reschedule her interview with him fail, Jayden resorts to other tactics to entice her to meet with him. With Abigail’s feisty personality, Jayden finds her reluctance to bow down to him refreshing and he finds the challenge that she throws in his direction more enamouring than irritating.
Abigail is the character with the condition to which the book’s title refers. Living with painful memories connected to her condition, she finds it hard to trust but with her sister gently nudging her along she starts to open up to Jayden and after accepting his job offer, develops an easy working relationship with him, despite his flirtatious personality. Jayden is also not without his fair share of pain but together they learn to trust and to appreciate that their past lives should not hold them back from a happy future.
There is a twist or two in this story and a couple of unexpected events for Abigail all of which add drama to what is essentially a nice romance story. I would definitely recommend this book to others as I feel that more readers should really appreciate the penmanship and storytelling abilities of this little-known author.
For now, I’d like to hope that a story about Jayden’s sister will follow especially as she is an interesting female powerhouse of a character in a male-dominated business world.

Sexsomnia - Sleepless in Manhattan by Anya Omah, is an office romance with a twist.
The chemistry between Abigail and Jayden was off the charts, definitely need a tall glass of water.
Looking forward reading more from this author!

Loved this book! It grabbed me from the beginning and drew me to the conclusion. I wish I wasn't done with it! A great read! you will love this book!

*5 Stars!*
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I downloaded this book because the premise was intriguing. I had no idea that I would be so impressed! The writing is phenomenal, the character development was great, the plot, even though it had some typical romance tropes, was unique, and I loved this book!

Cever story and i connected huge with the heroine. Such a great story.

I have never heard of this author before and I also had no clue what Sexsomnia was so going into this book I was blind and OMG this story was beyond wonderful. I want to read more by tis author but when I googled her, it looks like she writes in German, but really this book was probably one of the best books I have read this year.
The story is pretty fun, it stars Abigail who is just graduating grad school and got incredible grades but she is hiding her body behind baggy clothes and its been many years since she had sex. Plus she lives with her sister and sleeps in a closet because she can't sleep in the same room as someone else.
The story starts when Abi heads to a job interview for Jayden King, they meet in the elevator where he insults her and she tells him where to put his job. Jay is bored. He is beyond bored and while Abi was dressed terribly she was not boring and so he decides to hire her. But well Abi tells him, he has to be interviewd by her first to see if he is someone she WANTS to work for. What results is a love/hate/friend/douch kind of relationship and like Jayden I was not bored either. This book was fun, interesting and I loved every second of it.
Now lets discuss the sleep disorder which plays a big part in the story, Sexsominia. Did the story need this partof the story NO!! If this was a story about Jay and Abi and their relationship it would have been wonderful but what Jay does because Abi is in therapy and taking part in a sleep stufy well made this book just incredible. It opens up the discussion of what would you do? and was just wow.
This book was increibly well written and I loved the entire story and all the characters. I loved Jay and Abi together, they are a couple I will not soon forget.

I enjoyed Sexsomnia - Sleepless in Manhattan, by new to me author Anya Omah. This book is smartly written, the characters are quite interesting, and the plot is unique. Until I read this title, I had no idea that there was such a thing as sexsomnia; the condition of engaging in sexual activity while sleeping.
Recent graduate school graduate Abigail Davis, accepts a job in the heart of New York City with Four Kings Hotels. She is the new executive assistant to Jayden King, the CEO. Jayden is a smart and very good-looking guy, who finds Abby to be spunky, attractive and very bright. Their choppy working relationship evolves into much more, with lots of bumps and revelations along the way. An incident from Abby's past, as well as her sexsomnia, play a major role in their blossoming relationship. Their time together results in Abby's ability to trust once again and Jayden's new monogamous outlook on life.
In a nutshell, Abby and Jayden are hot both in and out of the bedroom. Abby's sister Alice, and Jayden's sister Jess, add a great deal of stability and support to both main characters. Overall, this is a sexy and intriguing read.

Wow! I chose this book because the cover and the title drew me, and then I thought the blurb sounded great. I've gotta say that this author was a great find!
“I often have people figured out after one sentence. Especially women – I can read them like open books. Abigail Davis, on the other hand, is a mystery to me. Totally different.”
Abigail Davis needs a job. On the morning of the interview for a very plum job, a series of mishaps has her turning up flustered and inappropriately dressed. When she encounters her prospective future boss in the lift, a few choice words between them has her storming off, determined not to bother with the job after all. She couldn’t work for such an insufferable jackass, even if he is sex on legs.
“You’re unpredictable, confident…” I continue, and then suddenly I realize that, more than anything, she’s a woman I could fall in love with.”
Jayden King is pretty jaded. He drowns the guilt and pain he carries around with alcohol, sex, work, and workouts. He barely sleeps. No one and nothing really distracts him from the endless treadmill he’s on. However, he is used to getting what he wants and Abigail Davis is what he wants – in his office and in his bed. He finds her sassiness and irreverent attitude towards him a breath of fresh air. She intrigues him, amuses him, frustrates him, and turns him the hell on. She affects him enough that he’s just about willing to do anything to have her.
Abigail suffers with a sleeping disorder – one that has affected her wellbeing and her love life. She’s taking drastic measures to understand her condition and appease her troubled mind. When Jayden has her vetted, he turns up this surprising and unusual fact about her, which leads him to make a somewhat unethical decision that could cost their budding relationship.
This was a FAB read! There was fantastic, hot chemistry between Jayden and Abby. They were strong characters with clear personalities. I loved how Abby kept Jayden on his toes with her strong will and her unpredictability. It was wonderful to watch him captivated by her, and how she made him feel alive, rather than just existing.
The subject matter was interesting. I’ve never heard of it and just thought that the book title was a clever title. LOL. The plot was great and I really enjoyed how the author incorporated Abby’s condition into.
I found this book pretty compelling and really sexy, with excellent dialogue between the two main characters. It was just my cup of tea!

Have you heard of Sexsomnia? I haven't before this book but man it is a fascinating disorder. I am super in psychology so when I saw this unique title I was beyond curious. For those who don't know and haven't looked it up yet, Sexsomnia is a sleeping disorder where a person will engage in sexual activities while asleep. Seriously, this is a real thing and not just made up for the sake of something to write about.
Abigail has sexsomnia and like most disorders, it has greatly changed her life, especially her relationship with men. Because of a traumatic experience, Abigail can't trust herself while asleep. She hasn't had a real relationship in years and is working through a lot and certainly doesn't expect to fall for the rich and oh so arrogant, Jayden King. Jayden is probably one of the most arrogant and self-confident men I have ever read and I totally love him! Don't get me wrong, he was hard to handle at the beginning but seeing how much he cares about Abigail and his sister speaks a lot about his true character.
Abigail and Jayden are both working on opening up to someone. Learning to trust another person to share their past traumas and pains. This book was able to be sexy and endearing at the same time. I really love these characters and see them grow. Both of the main characters have sisters, Alice and Jess who needs their own books because they are just awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I hope to read more from Anya Omah in the future.

Certainly an original plot. Good overall writing and storytelling.

New twist on the office romance, had to look up sexsomnia to see if it was real. I really enjoyed the characters Jayden, Alice and Jess.
