Second Best Kindle Edition

by Noelle Adams (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,465 ratings
4.1 on Goodreads

We meet every other Wednesday night in a downtown hotel. No dates. No commitments. No hearts or flowers. Just his body and mine.

Maybe I’m his second best. He’s definitely mine. But second best has never felt so good.

Second Best is a steamy, standalone contemporary romance.

    I have to say that Noelle Adams is one of my all time favorite authors. I don't think that I have read anything by her that I have not liked. This book was no different. It grabbed me from the very first page and I was hooked until the end. Chapter after chapter I could not get enough. Sean was still grieving over the loss of someone he loved. Ashley was in love with someone that did not even really see her. They were brought together when they meant in a meeting one day. Sean proposes a contract which states this is a no strings attached relationship where they meet every other Wednesday at the same hotel and the same room. Ashley agrees to his contract. We all no that there really is no such thing as a no strings relationship. Relationship have feelings and can get to be so messy. This book has it all. I can honestly tell you that you will not be disappointed with this book. It is amazing from start to finish.

    Interesting story! A couple of evenings a month of sex outlined in a contract, hmm. Both parties did way too much navel-gazing.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected love
    Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2017
    Sean had lost the love of his life in the most trageic way. So he protected his heart but still wanted to enjoy the attraction he felt.

    Ashley didn't feel sexy, confident, and always stayed in her comfort zone. Being with an almost stranger for fun in the sheets was not in her comfort zone but jumped in to see if it could be.

    It was suppose to be a contract of encounters guided by said contract. It was suppose to be just physical.

    It was suppose to be the next best person since neither could have the object of their hearts affection.

    I enjoyed this spin. I've seen contracted marriages of convienence but not one for friends with benefits or bed buddies.

    I love how things creep up. Though Sean should have realized his heart couldn't always be safe.

    I got to read a portion of this with Noelle' s newsletter so it's nice to read it entirely.

    I give this 4.5 stars for being steamy and emotionally developmental. There wasn't a HUGE end all with this couple like some stories which made it easier to see their hearts and not be angry at their stupidity or stubborness.

    I would have given it one more star if it hadn't given one more epilogue to It, where he finally got married and had his family, maybe a kid or two. Since Lara passed he's only ever gotten to engaged. I would have loved to see their emotions with that past.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden gem. Sizzling, natural, intelligent.
    Reviewed in Canada on June 17, 2022
    Sean and Ash need a sexual interlude, away from their romance realities. They decide to meet every second week for sex with no strings. Yeah, right! We get sizzling chemistry, steamy scenes. Not just a hookup…there’s so much more.
    I loved that this book was refreshing, natural, intelligent, no over the top dramas. It has depth, emotions, caring. A sweet, sexy and wonderful romance. Recommend. A new favourite!

    5.0 out of 5 stars ... book I have read by Noelle Adams and I loved every word
    Reviewed in Canada on November 22, 2017
    This is the first book I have read by Noelle Adams and I loved every word.

    I loved the no nonsense approach between Ashley and Sean; the arrangement was that there was just to be sex, on every second Wednesday, in a hotel, with no feelings and no attachment. The feelings I got as I read about their relationship evolving and you can feel their feelings yourself. That's great writing.

    I love the idea that two people think they can make an arrangement and not be affected as time goes on; it made for a great suspense. Who's going to fall first? Is it just going to be an arrangement until someone better becomes available? So many questions were running through my brain as I was reading. I was there in that hotel room with them and watched them bloom. I felt their emotions come through and soaked up every word.

    This is an author I will be looking to read more from in in the future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2020

    On the face of it, this book is a sexy romance with likeable, realistic characters and a strong plot and it is a great read. But it goes deeper than that as it also examines what it really means to be in a relationship with someone. I loved the part where Ash talks about why her romance with John failed because he didn't really see her, he only thought about her in relation to himself. I hear you! Her relationship with Sean contrasts with that that beautifully. I found it very touching.

    Beautifully written. A simple love affair which turn out to be exceptional. That's what I can say about it. The narrative is well-done. Everything revolves around the main characters. Emotions and sentiments show through the pages. And that's how Noelle A. went all over the story and bring the readers to make the story theirs.
    I'm glad I did not let the negatives ratings sway me and picked this book.
    Well-done Noelle Adams!

    I've read this book years ago, but I'm only now writing a review. The characters were so engaging and their conflict was not too harsh. The story was written in the first person from the heroine's viewpoint but that didn't affect the telling of tale. The intimate scenes were hot but not tasteless.

    Ashley and Sean made an arrangement to meet at a hotel every two weeks but soon they wanted to see each other more frequently. Ashley was braver than Sean in many ways and initiated the emotionally difficult discussions. The character development for both H and h was quite believable. Their arrival at the hea was deeply moving. I can read this story over and over again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I ended up adoring this...
    Reviewed in Australia on February 18, 2018

    The plot of this story felt fresh and unique. Noelle Adams once again proves why she is a firm favourite of mine. Be warned it was a bit more sexualised than I’ve previously read by Noelle before but there is plenty to love about this hot, sexy story...

    ‘Second Best’ is the story of a series of one night hook-ups between two unique characters - Ashley and Sean and neither are interested in anything more than that.

    Ash is a 28 year old lawyer who is in love with her coworker. While Sean is a 38 year old real estate mogul and a client. So while Ashley is pining for a man who barely acknowledges her existence and Sean is suffering from the loss of his deceased fiancée, they decide to sleep together every Wednesday.

    From the beginning it was just sex and nothing more however in each chapter Sean unveils a new piece of himself. He made the story for me, he was so caring, understanding and thoughtful while still being a little mysterious. He has been through a lot in his life and is dealing with things the best way he knows how.

    I loved seeing Ashley and Sean's relationship develop while they deal with the things holding them back. The sex scenes were done really well - steamy but not OTT. I just adored the epilogue to me it really completed the story and gave us a glimpse into their future. A 5 star read!!
