Favorite Quote: He crooked his finger at Ana. “Come here, little one.”

Taylor and Ana have been married for two years and are both content and happy, at least on the surface. They truly love each other and have no big complaints about their life – that is until Ana receives a very interesting email. One that shows old pictures of Taylor participating in some very kinky sexual activities.

Ana starts to wonder if maybe their vanilla lifestyle isn’t meeting all of Taylor’s needs. Without Taylor knowing she has received this email, she suggests they go away to a cabin where she plans to step out of her safe zone and try some new things in the bedroom with Taylor.

They don’t even make it to the bedroom though. Ana starts pleasuring herself in the car on the way up. Taylor can’t believe his little innocent wife is doing something so – hot! At the cabin Ana starts experimenting and Taylor can’t get enough of his new little minx. When Taylor’s good friend Eli comes up, and a secret is unloaded, Taylor and Ana have to take a hard look at their relationship.

Never Have I Ever is a dirty, dirty book. Let’s face it – how many sex scenes have I read this year? And I am able to say that Alisha Rai writes very erotic, well done scenes that definitely deliver the heat that a lot of erotic books lack. I loved all the romance and I love Taylor. He is such a dominant, sexually hungry man. When Ana gives him the green light – whoa. He can barely contain himself. It is hot.

However, there are a few things that I didn’t love. While I loved Taylor’s “new” behavior in bed, it is also hard to buy into it. They have been married for two years, and he never once asked for something more dirty, or lost control? Has he really been satisfied with his missionary, vanilla lifestyle? He goes from that to tying her up and spanking her with a ping pong paddle. I get the whole point of the trip is to explore new things, but it seems odd this never came up in the past.

Ana seems to jump from worrywart, meek girl to this sex fiend in a very short time. I think their journey to their new revelations in the bedroom should have played out in a longer fashion. There is also a paranormal revelation towards the end which is definitely hinted at throughout the story. It doesn’t play a huge part in this book though. Eli, Taylor’s friend plays a big role in this book, and even joins in on the sexy time. I like him and I really hope we get his story. 

So – Hot sex – check. Hot alpha male – check. Ping Pong addle spanking – check. Sex wearing a ski mask – check.

Although I had a few problems with the story line, Alisha Rai can really write erotic scenes. I definitely look forward to more!
