ARC Review: THE V CARD by Lauren Blakely & Lili Valente

When you think about how easy it is to lose keys, phones, sunglasses and your dignity on social media, you might figure it'd be a cinch for me to ditch my V Card.
You'd be wrong.
At 25, I run a successful business, live in a fantastic apartment, and have fabulous friends to go out with any night of the week. And yet I'm still a card-carrying member of a club I don't want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job—my brother’s business partner and best friend.
Graham Campbell is charming, smart, and, I’m told, oh-so-skilled in the sack. As long as I keep my eyes on the prize, there’s no way this pluck-the-flower project could possibly complicate matters.
***
Work and pleasure. As the CEO of a fast-growing company, I've been enjoying both to the fullest. What do I do when the board throws me for an unexpected loop so I can keep my business in my hands? I enlist the help of my best friend's little sister since she holds a big stake in the company. But then I learn there's another big stake she wants.
The one between my legs.
I can do this. Seven nights to teach her everything I know in the bedroom. There's no way I'll fall for her, even though she’s earning top grades in every single sinfully sexy lesson. And turns out I’m learning something too. The trouble is I don’t have the answer key to what to do when I fall hard for her.
And that throws a whole new hitch in my plans.

MY REVIEW

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

CJ is probably the last virgin standing in NY. She’s on the cusp of her 26th birthday and can think of no better person to usher in her womanhood than her best friend, Graham. Neither of them wants to jeopardize their friendship, but their attraction and chemistry couldn’t be denied. A lot of fun, flirting and sexy shenanigans ensue. CJ was a kind and beautiful soul and while Graham had the reputation of a manwhore, aside from an obsessed ex-girlfriend, I didn’t really see any evidence of it. What I did see was the beautiful connection these characters shared, the deep and mutual feelings they developed unbeknownst to the other, and the romantic story that developed between them.

The V Card was one of the cutest books I’ve read in a long time. It was sweet, charming, and left my heart feeling all warm and fuzzy in the end. I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies and these authors delivered a winner with this friends-to-lovers story.
