~**~ ARC Review: The Sex Bucket List by Prescott Lane ~**~

***5 ‘I’ll Always Give You What You Need’ Stars***

The title was the lure, I mean who wouldn’t at least pause and consider reading the blurb when the title of a book is “The Sex Bucket List”?, If nothing else you know your damn curious to find out what is on the list. But it was the blurb that was the hook: A woman looking to love herself again and a man more than willing to help her get there. There was no way I could pass that up and I loved every second of it! It was sweet, smexy and real. It had me swooning, laughing and growling in frustration as Emerson took the steps to find her own happy once again.

I loved Emerson. She’s made mistakes and has punished herself unmercifully, and somewhat unjustly IMHO, for them but is a warm and loving person who simply wants everyone to be happy. I could empathized with her insecurities and the war over if it was selfish of her to want her own slice of happiness. Mateo, I absolutely adored. This man is absolute book boyfriend material. He’s got that whole dominant alpha male vibe and yet has the patience of a saint and it’s a d@mn panty dropping mix. He’s a man who knows exactly what he wants and will fight for it, but not at the cost of hurting anyone in the process.

Emerson and Mateo’s journey to their HEA was definitely a bumpy one, but absolutely satisfying in the end. I’m not going to go into detail over every little thing, especially since they are laid out in the description except for the fact that her ex-husband is an a$%hat ~ I just have to put that out there ~ but will say that everything was handled realistically. The issues they faced were ones people go through every day and sometimes there is no simple solution, you just have to weigh the pro’s and con’s and make the best decision for all involved. But I loved Emerson and Mateo together. There was an honesty and openness to their relationship that had me rooting for them and they were pretty damn smexy.

This is my first read by Prescott Lane and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hooked from the first chapter and found myself totally immersed in the story. While there were moments where I didn’t agree with Emerson, there were more where I was nodding in agreement or laughing because I’d’ve done the same thing she was, or had. The characters were all well written and brought a lot of depth to the story. Layla and Poppy were my favorites, though I wanted to strangle Poppy more than once and I thought the kids and their reactions were spot on. What I love and respect the most out of this story is that we don’t get the perfect fairy tale ending we get an ending that is real and still satisfying.

I’m Emerson, and my “to do” list is longer than I’d like. You might wonder what kind of woman comes up with a sex bucket list? Answer — the kind who’s been in a sex drought, has two crazy girlfriends encouraging her, and one too many bottles of wine. 

This kind of list requires special skill. And I have just the man in mind to help me. He’s younger. So that checks one thing off my list. And he’s the kind of man every woman should sleep with at least once in her life. The kind of man who knows his way around a woman’s body. And God, I’d like him to know mine.

Armed with new lingerie and a fancy high-tech vibrator, I’m taking charge. Of love, of life, and my libido. How hard can that be? Well, judging by the rate of pole dancing injuries, I might be in trouble.

But how much trouble can one woman get in? Giving your panties to a stranger isn’t illegal in Georgia, is it?

Grab a pen and make your own Sex Bucket List!
