Being Hospitable (Desert Rose Hook-Ups Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 182 ratings

Some houseguests are more enticing than others…

Kiki Jenkins knows that opening her home to her best friend’s younger sister means giving up some solitude. What she doesn’t expect is for her new roommate to become temptation in the form of novelty panties and flirty innuendos. But Charley is off limits…for several reasons.

Charley Graham wants to be seen as more than her brother’s little sister. And she wants Kiki to do the seeing. Her new internship provides the perfect opportunity. Plan in motion, she’s not going to let their close living quarters go to waste.

The arrangement is supposed to be temporary, but as they grow closer a permanent change of address might be in order.

    I am a fan of Meka James and was so happy to grab this sexy, fun novella for a weekend read. BEING HOSPITABLE is the story of Kiki and Charley, friends-turned-roommates, who soon figure out that there is something more between them. Their story kept me turning the pages and fanning myself—hot, hot, hot! Highly recommended for lovers of short, sexy, f/f romance!

    This is a great novella that puts a queer spin on best-friend’s-little-sister. I loved the friendship between Ki and Charley, and the way they communicated as they transitioned relationship to a sexual one. I also liked how they tease each other. Some of the trust felt abrupt in the sexual context, but given they’ve known each other for ages and already have a foundation of trust, it works. Overall, I really enjoyed this.

    If you like steamy reads then you’ll love this. The intimate scenes are plentiful and HOT! I started to skip through them after a while, but I’m likely in the minority 😂. I usually love novellas but the characters in this one didn’t pull me in. It took me over a week to finish. I enjoyed the writing style and will try something else by this author.

    The story wasn't bad or rushed it was just right, and this was my first book from Meka James. Charley was a minx that
    knew what she wanted and it was her brother best friend KiKi. Their chemistry was cute and hot. I wish the story was
    longer, with that being said it nice and quick read.

    This went way too fast! But in the best way. And it was so fun and easy to read. The best friend’s sister trope is always a favorite but this felt fresh and was well executed. The banter was natural and engaging and I was immediately invested in Ki and Charley and excited to see them get past the “No! We can’t!” and get down to it.
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2019
    Kiki and Charley are a great, fun escape without too much angst. I love how Kiki is a bit of a rascal and Charley understands that "giving in" to Kiki also means allowing herself a chance at happiness too. As always, Ms. James brings the heat she is becoming addictively reliable for and the steamy scenes do not disappoint. It was great to see a previously M/F contemporary writer step into the F/F world so effortlessly. Highly recommend.

    This book is short and sweet. It is a great book to get into if you just want to get into F/F romance. I really loved the two main characters Charley and Kiki. The sex was freaking sizzling. This is the first time I ever read a black f/f romance that had BDSM elements. We need more books like that for sure. The only downside to this book that it was way too short. Things felt rushed towards the end. I also felt that were cheated out of the face to face confrontation with Kenny and the conflict was way too easily wrapped up. All in all, this is a really good book and I would recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2022
    This is a great short read with fantastic sexual tension between our leads from page one and a delightful play on the idea of forced proximity and best friend's sister.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely hot!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2019
    This story is short but hot as hell. One of the best short erotic wlw stories I’ve read. It hit the spot on everything, the scenes all a perfect length. My only complaint would be not wanting it to end! I love how well the characters were developed and the chemistry was on fire. Highly recommend.
