Sexsomnia - Sleepless in Manhattan

a well written good read.

I actually looked up sexsomnia to see if it was a real diagnosis and was surprised to find it is. I liked this book. Some parts made me think it was a spin off of fifty shades of grey without the red room. I liked how Abigail always stood up to Jayden . It was a flirty kind of fun. I would recommend this book to others.

So, this book  got a five star rating because it was damn phenomenal. 
Just the synopsis by itself made me want to read the book asap and don't make me talk about the book cover because holy lord I love it so darn much. 
Now into the story!

I was totally pleased with the whole plot and how things progressed. We didn't get an obvious plot because information wasn't just given to us right at the beginning. You had to read the book so you could discover things at its own pace. 
There was obvious attraction between Abigail and Jayden but what made me want to see how the story developed was the fact that they eventually created a friendship between them and further into the story a love relationship. Although it was hard for Jayden and Abigail to talk about their past they ended up trusting each other with what they consider their darkest moments and made them easier to live with. 

I LOVED Anya Omah's writing and that for me is quite important so I can enjoy the book fully. Her writing just makes you dive into the book and makes you thirsty for more and more. I just couldn't put the book down. It took me a day to read it and I was damn happy with it.

Please read this book because you'll laugh, smile, fan yourself because it'll get hot but most important... you'll get attached to the characters.

Certainly an original plot. Good overall writing and storytelling.

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.

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!

"5- I wanna fall asleep next to you stars!"

Wow!
What an incredibly well-written story with such a unique storyline.
I had not heard of this disorder and was stunned to discover that it actually existed.
I feel so much compassion and empathy for those who suffer from it.
I can't image not being in control of my actions or have no recollection of what my body is doing, ESPECIALLY while engaged in sexual activity.

Abigail is the protagonist who suffers from this disorder.
She is a strong, educated, self-confident woman. She stands up for herself and doesn't settle for anything less than what she deserves.
Where she lacks control in her sleep, she makes up for in her waking hours.
She also has herself enrolled in a study to find out what actually happens while she sleeps so she can eventually have a healthy relationship with someone without worrying about falling asleep next to them and being assaulted.
Abigail's also in a desperate need of a job.
Enter Jayden King.
Partner of the 4 Kings Group.
Abilgail has applied for a position as his personal assistant.
When the initial interview doesn't go as planned, Abigail writes the job off and thinks nothing of it.
Jayden can't believe what just happened. No one has ever spoken to him like that and called him on his shit.
Now he's intrigued and curious to find out more about this sassy, smart, quick-witted woman who just told him off.

This is where the story gets really good.
The character development, story, and writing are great.
Jayden does some stuff in the story that I really don't agree with, but for the sake of the story, I understand why he did it.

This is the first book I read by this author, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Sleepwalking and sex... wow. I never heard of this disease until this book.  Crazy to think of what could happen! 
Abagail had a rough time with this in the beginning, but things look up with her new hot boss Jayden. Steamy sex,  snarky come backs,  humor & great characters pull this book together.

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.

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

*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!

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!

Overall, I enjoyed the story. 

The characters, Jayden & Abigail were written well. The storyline was good, different. Just something about it I can't exactly put my finger on, stopped me from loving it. 

Secrets from the past & trust issues. Millionaire businessman and new college graduate in her first ever professional role. 

Read it for yourself, you may love it!

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!

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.
