Cooper Kingsley is trying to get over a rejection, and the best way to do that is to get under somebody else, right? He's found the perfect distraction in Corinne O'Neil, only problem, she's his new assistant. But Cooper has a plan that will suit them both, sex with no strings attached. Perfect! However, what happens when those strings start to attach? Can they overcome their pasts? And what happens when secrets are discovered?

After listening to Dirty Little Secret and Dirty Little Promise, I was anxious for Cooper to get his happily ever after, Torrid Little Affair didn't disappoint. It's a sweeter story than the Dirty Little Duet and can be read as a standalone, although I'd recommend reading it after the duet for full enjoyment.
Kendall Ryan has done it! She's broken me. I thought this would be a cute fast read, instead I laughed, and I cried, and I was left feeling like I'd been put through the wringer. This book hit me with all the feels. It has so many moments that made you sit and think. I stayed up until 5am reading this book and then I only put it down because I couldn't stay awake any longer, I woke up and dived right back in. Kendall's writing is fantastic, I love how she's just pulls me into this world and holds me hostage, I'm still thinking about this book a couple of days later.

I thought I loved Gavin, and I do, but that is nothing compared to what I feel for Cooper. He is everything. I love him so much. He is sweet, he is sexy, he is funny, and he is charming. He is such a sweet guy that you can't help but swoon over. And his choice of pet name was perfection. ‘Little Dove' sigh. Corinne was awesome, I liked that she was quite sensitive but strong. She's sassy and sexy. She can definitely hold her own. I wanted to shout at her to tell Coop everything, because it's Coop, and we all know he'd understand, but I also understood her reasonings. She's the type of girl you wanna hang with.

The relationship between Cooper and Corinne was beautiful, what started as a little bit of fun soon turned into something more, even though that's not what either of them had wanted originally. The sexual encounters between this couple are set your kindle on fire, hot. You'll love how their sexual journey unfolds because it's not your typical romance sex, it's hot as anything but I think that's because of the build-up. The little things that this couple do together make it all the more perfect. When we find out Corinne's secret it makes everything fall into place, and her reactions to certain things all of a sudden make perfect sense, it was a great twist that worked really well.

I cannot wait to listen to the audiobook. Zachary Webber is the perfect choice for Cooper – plus, we've already heard him voice Coop in the previous two books, so, yes! Bring it on. Ava Erickson is just the most fantastic voice for Corinne, she has that sexy, and sassy performance nailed and I can't wait to hear this. Both ZWeb and Ava work wonders with the emotional aspects of a book and I think they're going to blow me away with this one.
