The Complicated Benefits Boxset features Friends With Complicated Benefits and Roommates With Complicated Benefits.
Friends With Complicated Benefits
"What if we were to take our friendship to the next level?"
What do you say when your handsome best friend approaches you with the craziest suggestion you've ever heard in your life? You certainly don't entertain the idea. And you certainly don't say yes. Friends with benefits never actually works, does it?
My best friend, Harry Parker Huntington, wants us to explore our friendship on a deeper level. He's a playboy, hellbent on never settling down and I'm a tomboy ready to change my image. All of our lives, he's been able to convince me to join in on disastrous schemes and plans that always seem to blow up in my face. He's taken me for granted and I'm about ready to change everything about the dynamic of our friendship.
Then I have my makeover and everything does change.
Suddenly Harry sees me in a new light and I start to feel him in no light; if you know what I mean. Harry has always been my best friend, but navigating friends with benefits is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I thought.
Roommates With Complicated Benefits
What do tequila, furry handcuffs, shame, and a 6' 2" hot man with a black eye all have in common?
They were all in my bed last night.
Well, shame was there this morning.
My asshole roommate up and moved out and rented her "room" to some guy her brother's coworker's cousin "knows really well." The aforementioned roommate thinks we'll get on like a house on fire. I tell her I don't think anything related to fire is a good thing. Especially as this guy and I will now quite literally be sharing the same room, with a divider for "privacy."
Sounds bad, right? Well, it gets worse.
Ethan Huntington is the most annoying, frustrating know-it-all, pompous jerk I've ever met. I did try to be open and ask him about himself when he moved in. But his responses consisted of, "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies." Yeah, okay. Cue major eye rolls as I walked away from him. It only made me angrier when I heard him laughing as I slammed the door as if he'd gotten the last laugh.
He thinks he's God's gift to women just because he's hot. I can't lie: I've seen him without his shirt, and let's just say he got more than my heart racing. But that doesn't mean I'll succumb to him. No way.
Well, that was the plan. Until that night. When we decided to play a few rounds of cards and we drank way too much. Sure, we had one night. But that's all it's going to be. I'm not going to let my one-night mistake stop me from going out and meeting Mr. Right—even if Ethan is still living with me and I can't get him out of my mind.
And then the first letter arrived and changed everything. Maybe that one-night mistake was just the beginning of something really special.
