Find IOU Sex Presented By Calista Fox Shown In Document
Sex was a good SHORT read, Actually it felt like I was reading a few chapters out of what could be a great full length book.
I loved seeing how Fiona stood up to her family and faced her commit fears, Micheal is one sexy, smokin' hot, sweet man,
I really liked Michael and Fiona and would've loved to have seen a full length book starting with Fiona walking in on her fiance and sister, then falling into Michael's arms and Michael wooing Fiona.
IOU Sex is an erotic romance with sizzling sex that is not raunchy, it is a great read for a day on the boat, at the pool or beach.
I loved Michael and Fiona together, They had a history and I could really feel their attraction for one another, There was just enough back story that I felt I knew where both characters were coming from, I loved how Fiona handles herself at the engagement party, It was a hilarious scene and I was cheering her on all the way, The love scenes were steamy and very entertaining, Great story and one I definitely recommend reading! When you start reading, youll know how it ends, but that doesnt stop you from keep reading.
Fiona comes from an affluent family and what a family: her parents always made her do as they pleased, until she got tired, specially from her mother and sister, Lizzie, who have always wanted to be like Fiona, thats why Lizzie slept with Fionas boyfriend orwith him when Fiona caught them in action.
Michael Houston is her best friendfuck friend, a photographer, really hot man and also a player so hes kinda the man every woman is after, but his only desire is Fiona.
She also desires him and had always felt a sexual connection with him,
So she prepares his favorite bottle and give it to him in exchange for a favor: He has to accompany her to her sisters engagement party.
And of course she said at first she wont be sleeping with him again but their sexual pressure was higher that they thought, so they slept again and had a great time.
He told her he was still interested in her and well, find out the rest by yourself,
At first I dislike Fiona a bit, but in the end I thought her as a badass, I love Michael Houston and I love Fiona and Michaels relationship you can actually feel they belong to each other.
I disliked Fionas sister, Lizzie, so much, Definitely she made me change my mind about Fiona,
I could extend this review a lot more and describe the entire novel, but its really short, and is better that you find out everything for yourself.
The sexual scenes are very well described, the novel in general IS very well written, A little piece of jewel if you ask me, the same applies if you want to read something light,
I know the title isnt that good and doesnt fit the story very much but anyway, what made me read it was the image of the cover, I really loved it After Fiona found her fiance in bed with her sister she was crushed.
Her escape was to have a fling with her friend Michael, So when she receives an invitation to her sister's engagement party she knows she's going to need back up in the form of a hot guy.
I do love a women scorned book, Fiona decides that she is going to show everyone that she has moved on and demonstrate exactly what her fiance lost when he decided to cheat.
Michael agrees to be her date on one condition that she will date him, Fiona ended their fling for fear of Michael getting bored of her, but Michael was far from bored and he wants more of Fiona.
Throughout this short story Fiona discovers things about herself that she had never realized, She also believes that her heart may not be closed forever like she previously thought and that maybe Michael is the one she needs to continue healing and growing.
If she can get over her insecurities enough to give them a chance that is, I really enjoyed this short story, I love when women want to show up their ex's, It is always intriguing. You also root for Fiona because her sister sounds and acts like a real bitch, which really makes you want Fiona to show her up even more.
I highly recommend this read, it short quick and thoroughly entertaining, IOU Sex was a fast, hot, steamy book about revenge, Imagine having to go to your little sisters engagement party when the so to be groom is your exfiancé, Any woman would have to go and show that they kept their selfconfidence and to show you are over your ex.
What better way to do that then to dress spectacular and have a gorgeous man with you unless you fall for him.
I liked this book I just wish it was longer, At aroundpages, I was able to read this book in about an hour and a half, I really enjoy the writing style and I liked the characters, I really wish this story would have started just before Fiona walked in on her sister and her ex, I think it would have added a lot to the book,
For a quick, sexy read this was a great story,

What a fun novella this turned out to be, The story has been told before, but I honestly never get tired of it, Calista Fox did an excellent job, writing characters that were fun and relatable, She took a new spin on it, though, creating a history between Fiona and Michael, It made the chemistry between them much more believable,
The fact that Fiona has been emotionally scarred makes it difficult for her to trust again, but with some gentle nudging from Michael, her walls start to break down.
I love their conversations. They are close friends as well as lovers and when Michael starts to talk to her about her past, she opens up to him, making me feel like they have a deeper connection than just sexual.
Oh, and who can resist the slap in the face it was when Fiona showed up at that engagement party looking smoking hot with a delicious man on her arm.
I could almost hear women everywhere cheering for Fiona as she made her presence and eventually her opinion known, I think that's why I still love this story, regardless of how many times it's been told, Who can resist a good come back story What was I expecting when I delved into the first pages of IOU Sex by Calista Fox Certainly not a story written in the first person though amazingly the author made it work for me, delivering a novella that is worth a read if you love contemporary romances with tinge of erotic sexual content included in the package.
year old Fiona Leslie Carlisle hails from a prestigious family, her own mother a Judge, the whole family caring more about keeping up appearances than caring about what being a family actually means.
Fiona dreads facing her family and her sister who snatched away her fiance' Seth Corbett III, and knows that the only way to save face would be to show up in the hot little red dress she ordered especially for the occasion, completing the package with the ultra gorgeous and sexy as sin Michael Houston on her arm.
A year ago, when Fiona had her heart broken and her pride in tatters after walking in on her sister going down and dirty with Seth, it had been Michael her good friend who had understood what she was going through and offered her with rebound sex of the mind numbing and body tingling variety.
However, the fact that Michael means to her more than just a convenient lay now and then made Fiona run from her burgeoning feelings towards Michael then, a fact that Michael is determined to turn around with the bargain he strikes with Fiona in return for attending the engagement party with her.
IOU Sex definitely surprised me, all in a good way of course, with the character development that Calista Fox managed to deliver with such a limited number of pages and somehow managed to give a satisfying wellrounded romance and happily ever after in the end.
Though the story being told in first person meant that I didn't get to learn more about Michael's thoughts and musings which I definitely would have loved to know more about, even then the author manages to bring forth the fact that when it came to Fiona and Michael being romantically involved, Michael was well onboard with the plan.
Both Michael and Fiona are well developed characters who sizzle the pages with the scorching intensity of their passion for one another.
But IOU Sex is more than just two people getting it on in the bedroom it is the story of how two friends find within each other a craving that only the other can satisfy and how a woman finds the confidence and courage to let go of the past to grab onto the future with the man who is made for her right by her side.
Loved how everything turned out in the end, leaving me a satisfied reader all around,
With a bite of erotic content, IOU Sex is a novella that delivers well and good on both character development and emotions making this a well deserving addition to your TBR pile!

Original review posted on sitelink MBR's Realm of Romance This was a pleasant surprise! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I won't lie, I went into this thinking I was going to get a short book full of instalove, smut, and a whole lot of eyerolling as is the usual with the novellas I usually read.
I can't think of a single time in my life where I have been glad to be wrong, And boy how wrong I really was!
Absolutely adored Michael and respect the hell out of Fiona, They were absolute fire together and I would love to see how they continue
their relationship! Their relationship and friendship was gold.
I was surprised right from the beginning, because the author's writing style is totally up my street again, a far cry from the novellas I usually end up with.
But I loved the narrative, I was still cautious, thinking the plot would be rubbish and I was just waiting for that moment where the MCs would get on my nerves, or something completely unrealistic or infuriating would happen.
Ladies and gentlemen . . that moment did NOT come!
This was an amazingly good short read, Well written, good plot and great characters, Genuinely nothing bad to say about this book, Fiona you badass, and Michael you naughty sweetheart, Please, God, give me a Michael of my own one day swooning
This book left me so content and I pray I keep riding this book high I'm on right now The title put me off at first, but after reading some reviews I decided to go for it.
And I liked very much! Fiona has been hurt a lot by the betrayal of her younger sister with her fiance but has kept her head high for the past year.
And now she has been invited to the engagement party, So she buys a gorgeous red dress and decides to ask her friend and rebound lover Michael to escort her to the party.
Michael is hot and attractive and they were together forweeks after the scandal with her sister/fiance, Fiona broke it off because she is very afraid to be hurt again, But Michael wants more and when Fiona asks him to escort her to the party he requests a weekend with her in return.
I liked that Fiona got stronger in the end and that she was able to withstand her horrible sister at the party.
How horrible to have such a family, But she has Michael and he is a great guy, hot and adores her,
First of all, way to undersell a book by saddling it with an inappopriate title, I don't mean that the implication that one person owes another sex is inappropriate, although I wouldn't be the hugest fan of such an arrangement.
No, my objection is that the title simply doesn't fit the story, It's hard to review such a short story without being completely spoileriffic, but I can safely say that sex isn't really used as a bargaining chip in this story.
Now that I've said what this book wasn't, let me tell you what it was: a really cute short story.
IOU Sex see ridiculous was more tender than the fauxracy title might lead one to believe, I thought that Ms. Fox did a great job of conveying to us how deep Fiona and Michael's feelings were for one another, especially considering that they had quite a history together that predated the story's opening.
Although the majority of their interactions took place before the story began, I never felt like we the audience were playing catchup.
Ms. Fox is an expert at giving exposition without sacrificing the flow of what is happening in the present,
Fiona's family was a little too vile to be completely belieavable, but it was nice to see her stand up for herself.
Ms. Fox packed a lot of relatable feeling and growth into a relatively small amount of space, but I never felt like events were rushed or thoughtlessly tacked on.
I think that this length worked fine for ths story, although I personally wouldn't mind reading more about Fiona and Michael.
. . and possibly Seth and Lizzie, since I get the feeling that that relationship is going to implode in some deliciously awful way.
IOU Sex by Calista Fox
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Fiona has always done everything expected of her until she came home early and found her finance and sister in a compromising situation.
Everyone in her family overlooked the drama and accepted that Seth and Lizzie were in “love” and didnt mean to hurt Fiona.
She walked away devastated with her heart shattered, For the past year or so she has been just going through the motions of life but that is about to change.
With Michal at her side, she plans on showing up at the engagement party in a smokin hot number, hoping to send the message that she isnt going to be walked on any longer.
She is not going to continue to sit idly by while everyone feels sorry for her, She cant help it if her sister wants everything she has thats not her problem anymore, She is going to do what she wants, wear what she wants and live for herself from now on, even if it may cause her to lose her heart.
I really enjoyed Fionas journey in this book, She is part of a rich family with high standards, Everyone in her family are in the legal profession lawyers or judges and she decided to do something different, I like that about her, I know she has been going through the motions for awhile but with Michaels help she came to the realization that she was tired of just existing.
She blossoms like a flower as the book progresses and we start to see the real Fiona, not the one everyone wants her to be.
Michael is great for Fiona, He helps her realize her true potential, while getting her to agree to a weekend with him, He gets what he wants, to show Fiona that he truly cares for her and wants to try and make a relationship work between them.
He makes her face things that she has been avoiding for awhile, like she ran away from him before he could leave her.
The scenes between Fiona and Michael were sizzling hot, He helped her see that she was sexy and that there wasnt anything wrong with her, He asks her to think about dating him again and she is overwhelmed, At the end, she realizes exactly what she wants and is willing to chance a broken heart to go after it.
The party was a blast and I was so happy to see Lizzie and Seth get what was coming to them.
I dont know that I couldve just pretended like everything was ok, when it wasnt, Her mother didnt help matters either, She was too busy trying to make a match between the two families that she didnt care which one of her daughters got hurt/married in the process.
The ending
Overall I really enjoyed IOU Sex and give itFlaming Hearts, .
