About this ebook

A woman scorned and a politician with a wild side connect online—and explore their hottest fantasies in the flesh.

Olivia Watts knows that her problems are painfully average. She got engaged, and her fiancé cheated. She gave up on her dream job—street photographer—and settled on a more practical one: graphic designer. She scrimped and saved to buy a home, only to realize how empty it was. So when Olivia hears about an exclusive dating app that matches subs with highly trained doms, she does something she never thought she’d do in a million years: She signs up. The last thing she expects to find is a man whose sizzling touch reawakens the woman she used to be. . . .

Noah Grant has no time for relationships. His sole purpose is to win reelection. That’s why he pays a premium to the discreet app that satisfies all his dark desires. But after sweet, innocent Olivia is vetted and arrives for their week together in his penthouse, it’s blatantly clear that she’s running from her demons. Noah’s more than willing to be her escape—until their emotions get tangled up in their games. Now, to become worthy of Olivia’s heart, Noah will have to prove that he’s more than a fantasy.

Ratings and reviews

After finding her fiancée with another woman, Olivia takes the leap into one of her private desires and signs up for a “dating” site that connects subs and doms. She’s looking for something to help make her feel whole again, to feel herself, to help find that part that she lost so long ago. When she is connected with Noah, things instantly click for them both and soon all the rules that were set at the beginning are quickly being tossed aside as they create their own rules together. I’m not a huge fan of BDSM, but I am a fan of this author and I wanted to take a chance on this book. I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved the level of intensity between Olivia and Noah, the natural rhythm of their relationship and their ability to give each other what they were lacking. Not just sexually, but emotionally. The BDSM took a backseat in my opinion and didn’t bother me in the least. If anything, it proved to be the catalyst that brought Olivia to the place where she was able to stand on her own and take what she wanted from life. This is a fast paced read with plenty of steam and the secondary characters were perfect in their roles. I actually hope to see Olivia’s friend Paige in her own story. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and Random House - Loveswept. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Wow, this book was so fun and I just couldn't put it down! Olivia Watts just lost her fiance and her best friend when she caught them together in her own bed! Looking to get on on with her life, Olivia's best friend, Paige, convinces her to sign up for the app SiR....an app that hooks up a dominant master with a sub. Olivia had always been interested in the kinkier side of things, but her ex Cameron had no interest in it. Olivia gets a response from someone and she agrees to meet with him (with Paige in tow). Imagine her surprise when she sees it is Noah Grant, a Senator from New York. Instantly they are both attracted to each other. Noah can tell this is all new for Olivia but agrees to help her find herself after what had happened to her. What Olivia and Noah thought was going to be only one week of fun, turns into strong emotions that neither of them ever expected. Talk about being sucker punched! As these two come to terms with the feelings that they are experiencing, they realize that they may have found something way more than just sexual chemistry. I loved these two characters. Olivia's life got detoured for a while because of her ex, Cameron. Once she starts to find herself again, she realizes that she missed the old Olivia. Noah's entire life revolved around politics, starting from when he was young. He never had the time nor inclination to want a real relationship after the one time he failed at it. The emotions these two went through to get to their happy ending was so fun to watch. I just love when couples are blindsided by something they never saw coming....it makes the ride that much better. Overall, I just loved this story. It was fun, emotional and so so sexy! Great job Stacey Kennedy!

3.5/5 I don't think the synopsis really captures the essence of Perfectly Inappropriate. It is most definitely scorching hot but there is so much more to the plot and the characters than merely playing out their fantasies. I am a huge believer in fate and that everything happens for a reason as well as the belief that the negative occurrence in life has the most profound effect on our identity. It is with this in mind we can view Olivia navigating her way through a painful time in her life which forces her to do a lot of self-reflection on the life path she has been on. One that has not yielded the happiness she envisioned. The first step on the path to change is stepping outside her comfort zone and living out her secret fantasies courtesy of a specialised dating app for those wishing to undertake a BDSM relationship. Noah is a high profile public figure. and as such finds it necessary to keep his relationships under lock and key (literally 😂). His previous relationship and one-sided viewpoint of his parents' marriage has left him with quite significant barriers to long-term commitment. Although from the very first encounter with Olivia, Noah has his entire world and the rules he lives by turned upside down. The relationship happens at lightning speed but did not feel forced; both Noah and Olivia remain level-headed even with all the pheromones in the air 😉 They provide each other with the emotional pieces the other didn't realise they were missing. Allowing heart-warming personal growth as well as a deep connection between Noah and Olivia.  Although it isn't all sunshine and rainbows, there also isn't a large amount of turmoil. the narrative concentrates on character development both as individuals and as a couple. Ultimately, taking a chance could make all your dreams come true 😍
