REVIEW: One of the Guys by Shiloh Walker

One of the Guys by Shiloh Walker: Walking in on her longtime fiancé having his ménage a trois fantasies with the neighbor next door and his best friend, Jaynie’s pain is compounded when her ex blasts her lack of femininity. To regain confidence, Jaynie decides the best way is to have a night of desire. And who else but her best friend’s sexy older brother and her business partner.

But three months later, and Brian can’t get that night out of his mind. Even though they’re living together with his sister, he refuses to resist his desire of ignore the tension he feels any longer. But is Brian more than a rebound for Jaynie? Or are they finding something real together?

“Brian, can you leave?” she asked. Her voice squeaked a little on the last word.
His eyes slid back up, a slow leisurely journey that shook her to her core. He shook his head and muttered, “Damn, Jaynie.”
Then he turned, grabbed the door and shut it behind him. Hard.

A simple, sexy story, not much particularly happened in One of the Guys. Brian and Jaynie have this sexual relationship and Jaynie somewhat works past her issues with her ex to be able to move on with Brian. But most of the story felt devoted to their sex life and sexual desire.

I would have loved more relationship development between the two because it felt so rushed. But otherwise I did like the characters Brian’s quite attractive and Jaynie I respected and felt for. I really wanted to know them more.

For any reader wanting short and sexy I would recommend One of the Guys. Not a new plot, but a fun retelling of the best friend’s brother romance.

Complete and utter humiliation—that was what Jaynie felt as she stood in the doorway watching her fiancé playing out his ménage fantasies with his best friend and the cute neighbor from across the street. Bad enough that the cute and sexy neighbor is the woman her fiancé clearly wants her to be, but now she finds the man she loves in bed with the woman. To add fuel to the flame, he later tells her that she couldn’t be a real woman if she tried.

Humiliated and hurt, she’s hiding out at her best friend’s house and ends up coming across her friend’s older brother Brian. Brian…hot, sexy…also her partner from work. The last thing she needs is another complication, but she can’t think about that right now.

The heat in his eyes, the desire she can see on his face—that is something she does need and she offers him one night, no strings.

But one night of no strings turned into something neither of them could have counted on. Brian’s take-charge attitude in the bedroom and his oh, sexy, smile are getting to her.

Friends all their lives, they’ve played together, now they work together. Faced with the most important question of all, Jaynie has to figure out…can they work together?
