It wasn’t too long ago that I would have told you I was too smart to fall for the friends-with-benefits okie doke. I would have said it was a setup that was doomed to fail each and every time. I had friends who had been there, done that, and got the keyed car and broken windows to prove it. I didn’t need to experience it for myself to know that I was good on that. That’s what I would have said before if anyone wanted to know my opinion. In a way, I still thought like that, except....

I’d known Aisha since I was 13 years old and if you would have asked me, I would have said I knew her pretty well. That couldn’t have been further from the truth, and when she revealed some things to me - things I had somehow missed over all these years - I found myself uttering words I never thought I’d say. It was just an agreement. You could almost call it a selfless act on my part. I was just being a good friend.

The thing was, I forgot who drew the lines in the sand and before long I found myself caught up in the more-than-friendly benefits with my very good friend.

Author’s Note: This is short, steamy listen featuring explicit language and situations. If either of those offend you, this might not be the story for you.

This was short and sweet. I love the characters and the narration was great. I could listen to Emmanuel Ingram voice until the end of time. Can’t wait to listen to book 2❤️

Okay, no cap—this is THE BEST short story I’ve listened to on here! There’s a certain way you have to tell the story in a shorter novel, I think, to get to the romantic end everyone’s looking for without over-relying on sex scenes or forcing how the couple evolves. In my opinion, this story struck that balance PERFECTLY! Great writing, compelling storyline, funny dialogue...and of course, Emmanuel’s narration was *chef’s kiss* (and getting better, it seems!)

Definitely hope Chencia has more to give us in the future—they’ve got a new fan in me! 😁

FIVE FREAKING STARS!!!

This is my first work from Ms. Higgins and LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, my girl SLA-A-A-YED this novella. Emmanuel Ingram was complete perfection as Shad, he had me hooked with House’s Should’ve Been. Such great writing, such talented narration! Whew!

For the win!!!! 🙌🏽🔥

I have mixed feelings about this book. I absolutely loved Emmanuel Ingram‘s performance of the story. The book was well written, but it’s not my cup of tea. I am absolutely not a prude and I’m used to lots of four letter words in the books that I read. However, this story used language regarding women that I found somewhat offensive. I’m guessing that my negative reaction is at least partly due to the fact that I read mostly male male romance these days so it’s been a while since I’ve heard lady parts and other things mentioned in such a crude way. I did finish the audiobook and I ended up liking the story well enough. I read it as part of a reading challenge.

The voice actor is really good!

I'm not just giving this book 5stars because my name is in it, although that was so dope to see/hear. my name is NEVER in the books I read. I enjoyed this short sexy story and was disappointed when it was over.

OK Benefriends!!!
