The Decadent Gift by Lauren Blakely
I’ve been so eager for Kate and Jake’s book since I read The Engagement Gift - the first of the After Dark series - a few months ago. I expected something that sizzled with chemistry, provided delicious banter, and was underlined with friendship and family. I got all of that and more with The Decadent Gift.
Jake and Kate have been friends for a while now and their friendship group is well- intertwined. The last few months of flirtation and innuendo have had Kate seeing Jake in a new light and when she needs help with research for an important work assignment, he’s the first person to come to mind - and that’s when things get really exciting. Neither of these characters are interested in anything remotely serious - just a simple, no strings attached weekend with a side serving of kink. Sounds easy enough, right?
This was a great, sexy book featuring many a matchmaker! The chemistry between Jake and Kate was there from The Engagement Gift and only got more intense in this book. That wasn’t all though. There was still fun banter, vulnerable moments, and plenty of mutual respect. All things that tick all the boxes for me. I enjoyed the book and was excited to learn there’ll be more books in this After Dark series. I also have to say that the last few chapters were an absolute treat and will definitely be going back to reread those.
*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.
