I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley..

This was my first book by this author.
Avery and James were so relatable. Their story is such a fun one. The chemistry is fabulous. The book is fabulous. Everythig about this was steamy, adorable and fun to read.

This book was mildly entertaining, just not all that great. I did not like the fake French accent premise that it started on. I was quite annoyed by how much the author referenced how hot it was. (Okay, it's summer, we get it!) There were a lot of things that seemed to be built up... and then just never followed through on. Along with others that were kind of just thrown in there. All-in-all it made for a rather disjointed ride. And I really didn't get why Avery was so upset about James reading her blog; it wasn't like he snuck into her room and read her diary. Anyway, it was a nice enough story, the main characters were usually fairly likeable, and they eventually got their happily-ever-after, so I guess all's well that ends well.

I really enjoyed the story of Avery and James. Both characters were very relatable and easy to like. The author added in other characters that I thought would add to the storyline, but really did not develop into a thread that blended well with the story. The extra characters could have added more depth to the main story but they just seemed to float along side. For example, Morgan's boss and that relationship it was mentioned several times but did not really play into the main story. There were a few grammatical issues but not enough to distract from the overall story. For instance, using tough instead of though and other similar issues. I think a good book editor would fix that quickly. I liked the author's writing style and feel this is a cute easy read. I would recommend it for people who enjoy contemporary romance and chick lit.

Wow what a fun read. Playing a sex kitten on her blog is easy but being one in real life not so much. Avery is more of a nerdy girl next door. And when a hunk moves in next door it gives her all kinds of fantasies. It’s a wild ride of a summer full of steam and laughs. I recommend this one. Thanks NetGalley.

Avery is dared to pretend she’s French whilst out with her friends and finds herself talking to hunky James. They really hit it off and he is disappointed when she leaves without getting her number. But things start looking up when he finds that he is her new neighbour. Avery mistakenly sends out the link to her blog where she discusses her fantasies about James, which leads him to try to fulfil them. Fun story. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really like Avery and James in this story. I thought the book was well written with a few minor grammar errors, but it was an ARC so that is to be expected. I thought Avery and James both were well developed and I thought that their story was also very well developed. I liked the drama in the story and I liked Avery's best friend Morgan. I didn't care for either of their parents.. I did want more. You now like a peek into the future. Did they get an HEA or was it only a HFN? Did they combine apartments? Who set the fire.

Confessions Of A Sex Kitten tells the story of Avery. Avery writes an anonymous blog called Confessions Of A Sex Kitten (hence the book name) but the reality is she isn’t half as adventurous in the bedroom as her blog makes her out to be. That is until James, the most attractive man Avery has ever laid eyes on, moves into the flat next door. The pair instantly have an attraction and struggle to stay away from each other, something which is only amplified when James stumbles across Avery’s blog. However, neither of them act upon their feelings towards each other, so instead James takes to putting on a show at his window just for his neighbours enjoyment. Surely sooner or later sparks will start to fly…

The minute I read the synopsis of this book I knew I would love it. I love a good romance novel and this book is definitely that. Plus the story is set in New York which is one of my favourite cities so I always enjoy reading novels set there. The storyline itself was relatively simple, neighbours who have the potential to fall in love. It’s a realistic situation but I loved the added twist that Avery has a sex blog. Each chapter begins with a snippet from her blog post and I think it gives an extra dimension to the story. You’re reading Avery’s most secret desires (you’ll soon realise she is not anything like her blog makes her out to be) and when you know that James is secretly reading those posts too it’s interested to see how he reacts from reading them.

Both Avery and James were both likeable characters and the story intermittently switches from being told from both of their perspectives. You discover more about them that way and get a glimpse into their individual family lives. Personally the family side of things was the big downfall for me. It was mentioned but for me I didn’t feel like the families were in the story enough to truly add much to the story when the way they acted could’ve provided a whole new element to the story. I would’ve enjoyed the story just as much if the family chapters were taken out but I completely understand why they’re a part of this book as it gives make you understand more about James and Avery’s characters.

The romance side of this book is a slow burner so if you’re into novels that get to the relationship part quickly this is perhaps not the book for you. However, I felt like the slow build up was completely worth it. The book kept my attention and it didn’t take me long to read it as it was one of those quick, fun, romantic reads that makes your heart happy.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Sometimes you just need a romance novel and this one is great. It has two extremely likeable characters that you’re routing for from the beginning, some funny moments, moments that you feel genuinely sorry for the characters and a couple of sex scenes. If you’re looking for a quick romance novel that has a bit of everything then you will love this book.

About what you would expect from a book with a title like, "Confessions of a Sex Kitten." Not bad, but not all for me.

Avery's boyfriend broke up with her and had been cheating on her. Telling her it was her fault and made it seem she wasn't good enough for sex. So she goes on the town with friends and pretends to be someone that she isn't. She ends up meeting a guy but doesn't think she will see him again. Come to find out he ends up being her new neighbor.
Avery also has a blog in which no one knows who she really is and she talks about men, dating and sex. On accident James, her new neighbor, finds out about the blog and starts doing things that he knows she will like. There is a lot of sparks between them but she has a wall up because of her ex. James tries to break through it.
These 2 made me smile and laugh while reading and I couldn't put it down. Both of them seem to have mothers and a father who don't seem to be happy for them and are snooty. Avery's dad is fun though and I would have liked to see more between Avery and him.

Confessions of a Sex Kitten was just as I expected. It's a fun fast read that's good when you want something light and easy. I needed a break from heavy subjects, and this story was perfect. Sexy, flirty, fun and just a bit ridiculous! Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Avery writes a blog to release her inner sex kitten. But being that girl in her daily life is a struggle. James moves to NYC to be closer to her family and focus on his career. They are neighbors and James can't seem to stay away from Avery, especially after stumbling upon her blog. The attraction between them is obvious.

I enjoyed this quick and sexy read. The family dynamics were nice to see them work their way through. Good story with great characters. Definitely worth the read.

I received a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. this was the first book I have read by this author and overall it was a good book. however, the ending was weak. Avery was cheated on by her boyfriend and now writes a blog to bring out her inner sex kitten. James has just moved in next door and her sex kitten persona is working for him. the conflict felt forced in and the resolution made me dislike both characters. Avery for evening weak and James for honestly being kind of an ass. but again overall a good novel.

This whole book was kind of meh to me. There was nothing special about it and the writing was just ok. The ending was just ok for me as well. Thank you to netgalley for the arc.

How do you survive snarky family remarks, burning buildings, and the heat of a typical New York summer? Start a secret blog called Confessions of a Sex Kitten even though it’s complete fantasy because you are NOT a sex kitten and then have most of the blog posts star your next door neighbor-who you surprisingly become friends with. To be honest, I was a little wary in the beginning because it’s told in 3rd person (I prefer 1st person POV) but I quickly got into the story. The immediate chemistry between Avery and James was palpable and I was rooting for them the entire time. Avery was such a sweet girl, a tad lacking in self-confidence which was understandable given her family. James was a good guy who kept one “little” secret from Avery, which threatened their entire relationship. This was a quick read...humorous, sweet and very steamy. I received an ARC from #netgalley in exhange for my honest opinion.

A sweet romantic comedy. The characters are engaging. Their fumbling road to romance is both funny and sexy. It's a fast paced and fun read. This is my first book by the author but won't be my last.

The delicious sexual energy is evident from the moment the story opens and keeps the reader enthralled in it's grasp till the very end. It's charged with sexual excitement and more promises to come. 5/5 stars for a thrilling, new sensual masterpiece.
