Book Review - Blue Persuasion by Blakely Bennett

My Thoughts

I so loved Blue. She broke my heart sharing how she has always came second to everyone and all she ever wanted was to be first for someone. While she's waiting for that person she has been having a friends with benefits arrangement with Bond who is involved with someone else. There were a few moments that I so wanted him to be that for her knowing he was her best friend. He never really put her first which made it impossible for them to be anything more. When getting her first ink she meets Tate and they are sizzling from that very first moment. Then Tate ruins it by saying that he won't ever love her. I wanted to smack and shake the man hard and hug poor Blue as her heart was in such pain. The big part of this story is Blue coming to the realization that she is so worthy of being loved. I so enjoyed her story.

I give Blue Persuasion 5 hearts!

About the Book

Judy, dubbed Blue by her friends, is a voluptuous thirty-one year old woman longing for a love of her own. Even more frustrating than her dissatisfaction with her work and the unwanted attention her body garners is always coming in second with the opposite sex.

Bond, her best friend and lover, helps Blue stay sane and sexually satisfied, but she knows her place. Their secret relationship leaves Blue hungry to have a man she can call her own.

When she finally succumbs to Cat’s artful needle for her first tattoo, she crosses paths with Tate. The towering, tattooed, motorcycle riding, American Indian fires off all her warnings signs, but she finds herself drawn to him against her own self-preservation.

Thankfully, Blue’s close-knit group of friends help to keep her grounded, as does the women’s group she attends weekly, but she still finds herself wanting and needing more.

Will Blue ever find the love she needs and deserves or will she forever come in second? Read her sexy story of friendship and love to find out.
