Practice Makes Perfect (Bannister)

“I have a huge favor to ask. I need to practice kissing." Chloe Clark's smoking hot neighbor and best friend, Liam, needed her help…of the physical sort. Chloe knew it wasn't a joke. Liam was socially awkward, on the spectrum, and single at 33. Yeah, he was odd, but he was her bestie. Besides, she had her issues too. Like always falling for the wrong guys. But that’s what made them work. They accepted each other for who they were. No pretending. No games. Perfectly platonic. So, when Liam asked Chloe for help to get him ready for a second chance date with his high school sweetheart she could hardly say no. After all, Liam was woefully inexperienced—like virgin-level pure. It was downright criminal for someone that sexy to be so untouched. What choice did she have? She couldn't leave her bestie to make a fool of himself with the woman he’d loved since he was a teenager. He just needed a few kisses under his belt, and he’d be fine for his date. The bumped heads and smooshed noses Chloe expected. What she hadn't counted on, was liking Liam’s kisses. A lot. When the practice sessions become a major turn-on for Chloe, how will she keep her pesky libido in check? And worse, how was she supposed to hand him over to another woman now? Find out how a neurodivergent hero and a bad-at-love heroine turn from friends-to-lovers in this sexy contemporary romance!

How do you date your best friend? That’s the nagging question on Chloe Clark’s mind after she lands her romantic storybook ending with her bestie/next-door neighbor, Liam McGeary. Now that they are officially a couple, what does that mean for their relationship? How do they go from snarky conversations about who has the longest fry to heavy petting? The situation is only made harder because Liam is a virgin and wants to save that part of himself for marriage. Chloe knows she won’t be the girl Liam ends up walking down the aisle with, but boy oh boy, she’ll have fun playing with him in the meantime, riding that purity line as far as she can. But with Liam always eager and ready to play, it makes the job of restraining her desire a constant challenge. Chloe knows herself well when it comes to guys, though. She always jumps in too fast, becomes clingy, and scares men away. If she wants this moment to last with Liam, she’ll have to turn the heat down and learn how to date him without her usual moves. Practice makes perfect, right? It worked for their first hundred kisses. Now comes the hard part: dating. The Second 100 Kisses is the full steam ahead contemporary friends-to-lovers sequel to The First 100 Kisses. Proceed with caution and grab a fan. It’s about to get steamy.
