At first, I thought that I would not want to read this book as I don't read erotica. But reading your review has changed my mind.

This book seems to be interesting describing the adventures of Sabrina and Eva. It is good that the book combines romance, thriller, witty humor and sex appeal. Besides the detailed description of the city, the canals, the charming scenery, and the habits of the Dutch is a nice bonus in the book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Great review! While this isn't normally something I would pick up, I might consider reading it because of your thorough review. Eva and Sabrina sound like strong, independent women with a good sense of humor. I like the premise of the story. Essentially, they are unhappy in their current circumstances and are hoping to find themselves when they change locations. The girls sound like funny, likable characters which could make this book great!

The review definitely sold me to read more about Eva and Sabrina's adventures in Amsterdam. They sound like the sort of friends a lot of women would live vicariously through. I do hope their friendship holds strong. I am amped to grab this and read it. Thanks for the convincing review.

A novel that explores both love and friendship sounds like a great combination. That it's set in Amsterdam is an added bonus, as I love it there! I'll be giving this a try I think. Thanks for your review, I'd love to try this on your recommendation

Not something I will ever find myself interested in. Somehow modern romance equals to erotica, but that's not anything uncommon. As are books about couple of men. So now authors need new shock and write about two woman. How very original.

I have always been a fan of romance novels but without graphic content. Your review was excellent and painted a good picture of the 2 main characters in the book. I really like the idea of some humor in the story but I don't think I would be able to get past the erotic parts, so I will need to pass on this one! Thanks for the great review!

Wow, what a review!! A female-empowered story is right up my alley and I’m definitely intrigued. I love Amsterdam too 😉

I like Amsterdam and I like very much reading about this city. The book contains a valuable guide to Amsterdam. As this is a female-empowering read and also a romance one, I will read the book. Thank you so much for the review.

Romance books is my favorite genre, I liked the character in Ever as she is a very determined person.

I presume a book like this benefits greatly with strong characters, and thus book seems to have that.

Great review! Romance novels are a guilty pleasure of mine, I've read quite a few of them to know most of them are very predictable, so its nice to hear that this book subverts this by adding other elements to it

Six chapters later and I'm thinking, I need this book ASAP! What a wonderful style the author has and very down-to-earth, believable characters. I cannot wait to finish reading. Your review of this one was excellent and summed it up perfectly.
Thank you so much! Glad to know you're enjoying it.
