Test Me by Neve Wilder
lighthearted
fast-paced
4.5
Short but so, so good. Neve Wilder never fails to deliver a fast-paced, well-written steamy romance between two easily relatable, well-developed characters. Test Me is a 17k-word short story in the salacious Extracurricular Activities Series by beloved author Neve Wilder. Extremely recommended.
Neve Wilder is one of the few “love at first read” authors for me. I remember falling in love with their books effortlessly; it was quick and easy. And having read this now, the same feeling comes back to me.
Every time I read a Neve Wilder book, I get this feeling of slowly sinking into the story. Like one moment I’m reading the first paragraph and then the next I’m already deep into the book and loving it. It’s the same with this one. I believe it’s the writing style. It’s just so smooth, so seamless.
Another thing that I love about this book and all others from the author, is the character development. Although the characters here aren’t deeply or extensively explored, I find it easy to make a connection with them. For instance, I feel like Logan is that annoyingly responsible friend of mine who never fails to submit a school work and never misses a deadline, and Josh is an older cousin of mine who’s sporty, cool and confident, and a hopeless romantic.
And lastly, a signature of the author is a sexy romance with steamy sex scenes. Although there are only a few of those in this book, they are enough to give the story that extra heat that I look for in my romances.
All in all, Test Me is a quick, very enjoyable read, one that’s made me decide to find the time to reread all of Neve Wilder’s previous books and look forward to many more from them.
