***REVIEW*** SPICE by Scarlet Smith


Magazine writer Jess gets her latest freelance assignment – can anyone go from Vanilla to kinky in just fourteen days – and would they even want to?
Jess’ editor, Leyla wants to jump on the ‘mommy porn’ bandwagon, with a sexy blog, and she thinks Jess is just the girl to do it. Jess is given the List, which gives each sexy scenario and also the names and numbers of people who indulge in the weird and wonderful sex stuff, should she wish to ask their advice or expert opinion.
Jess’s latest freelance assignment is a “list” of sexy scenarios to try out. Her busy boyfriend Max is enthusiastic about the variety of sensual adventures. Until they reach the “threesome” option. Max is keen, but if they go too far will they risk everything?

I am secretly laughing as when I read the synopsis that I was given of this book I first though “what am I going to be reading here with that title” well this book is nothing like I imagined and I think most of you will also feel that way LOL. 

This is the story of Jess and Max and the way their relationship grows through her new assignment.
Jess is a journalist who has a very intriguing assignment to carry out.  She has to research a couple who normally have a very vanilla sexual relationship but now wants a more erotic experience.  The funny thing is the couple is Jess and Max.

Armed with what activities and experiences Jess has to blog about each day she lets Max know about all that is required and you can just feel the blood drain from his face.  He is not overly happy or excited about it all but to her credit Jess does suggest to get him comfortable they start with something a bit simple then work their way up, Phew I hear you say, well I just got the feeling Max did the same LOL.

As the day’s go on and they discuss each day what is next or what they are doing, you can see their relationship growing stronger and they are actually looking forward to exploring more and seeing where it leads.  It is great to see that they are not being prudish about it all but embracing it and realising that this is the best thing to happen to them for their relationship as let’s face it, it was a bit vanilla and stagnant. 

Not only do Max and Jess have a better sexual life but they have a better life in general, no longer is their day to day hum drum but there is an anticipation and excitement to the day.  They actually enjoy their jobs a bit more now; they enjoy coming home and discussing their day and their whole attitude changes.  Not only that but Jess is noticing that people who are reading the blog are commenting on how they are spicing up their sex lives from reading the articles and how these are changing their lives which is a major boost for Jess as well as Max.

I do have to warn you though at one point in the story, there is a third person which I was not all that amused about.  I liked Max being on his own with Jess and the thought of someone else being with him just didn’t sit right with me as well as Jess having feelings for the woman in the mix.  I felt it was not necessary.  I liked the relationship that Jess and Max built up themselves, the closeness they were finding together as well as the trust and although the other woman was not a permanent fixture and Jess and Max have that with them all the time. 

The book is well written and the story is good but I feel I had to warn you about the third person.
