Wednesday

Rate this book
Hard-core fucking.

It’s not what I really want, but it’s all he has to offer. He’s filled with turmoil and heartache and regrets, but for two hours every Wednesday all he feels is me. How much I desire him, how desperate he makes me, how much I’d like things to be different between us. Real.

He used to be my best friend back before he got married. And now? Now, he’s a young widower. It would be wrong on so many levels to expect something more from him, so I give him what he needs. Dark, delicious fucking.

But I know I can’t keep this up. I’ve already given him my body, my soul. I want him to have my heart. It might drive him away forever, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Wednesday is an angsty romp told from dual points of view. If you’re in the mood for something quick and dirty, you’ve found it. Proceed at your own risk.

★★★★ 1/2! Wednesday (stand-alone). Hot & intense sex with off-limits friend. No one can know so act cool & don’t scream too loud!

“It scares me sometimes . . . this secret connection we have.”

Wednesday (stand-alone novella) is a steamy great in-between tale about two friends meeting in secret for some off-the-charts sex against walls and furniture. It’s a mixture of forbidden romance, friend’s little sister and friends to lovers.

Since losing his wife Shaw Denton just needs this release to blow off some steam. Chloe cannot help but to be there for her friend, hehe. One orgasm after another.

But it has been eight months since Shaw’s wife passed. How long can they keep up this clandestine affair? And what happens if they are discovered in this small seaside town where everyone knows everyone?



Seven words to describe Shaw Denton: Private, conflicted, charming, possessive, determined, complacent and intense.



Seven words to describe Chloe: Sweet, unassuming, caring, meek, secretive, easy-going and naïve.

Novellas are harder to rate because oftentimes there just isn’t enough room for character development and story line. This story gives just the right amount of everything packed into a one-sitting-read.

Wednesday, told from dual POVs, is fast paced and quick, steamy and intense; sweet and romantic all the way to the perfect end!

"You're perfection. You make me feel alive. You give me everything I need, and I don't deserve any of it. That's what goes through my head."

This was a very unconventional twist on the friends-to-lovers/in love with the big brothers best friend tropes. There is an enormous amount of steam packed into this super sexy novella. I was hooked from the very first page and found myself in need of an icy cold shower or two. This book is sure to set you on fire!!



Chloe and Shaw have been best friends since childhood. They grew up on the tiny island of Marathon which is right off the Florida Keys. When we meet the two of them, Shaw has just suffered a tremendous loss in his life. His wife of a year was killed in a car accident and Shaw seems to be utterly shattered. He turns to Chloe for comfort and what that entails is some hard and fast sex in his bathroom immediately following his wife’s funeral. Chloe has harbored a crush on Shaw for so many years and is torn between feeling elated over what they’ve just shared and also feeling extreme guilt because she knows that Shaw is grieving over the loss of his wife and thinks she may be taking advantage of the situation.



 photo aac0e5fa11a5be60eb8f605e78aa6f37_zpstk0yqydy.jpg




The incident in the bathroom turns out to become a regular occurrence on every Wednesday evening. They have the most incredible sex of their lives together and it’s definitely the highlight of their week, but as time passes Chloe is realizing she wants so much more with Shaw. But she doesn’t think she is anything more than a hot roll in the hay to him.




Shaw decided after his wife’s death that he would never be tied down to one woman again and yet the only woman he’s been with or even wants is Chloe. Their sexual encounters start to occur more frequently but when Chloe starts to date other men, Shaw becomes insanely jealous and questions what has been building between them. Will Shaw figure out his true feelings for Chloe in time or will it be too late?



I really enjoyed this one. The sex is downright dirty and I guarantee it will be melting panties everywhere. Kendall Ryan has delivered one hell of a tantalizing story!!

Wednesday was a short read (novella sized) but it really packed a punch. Not only was it super steamy, but very emotional as well. The storyline was intriguing and I love that I got the feels along with everything else!

Chloe’s childhood best friend, Shaw, lost his wife in an automobile accident. She wants to be there for him in any way she can… but it seems the only way he needs her to console him is sexually. 

Most days I felt like I was trying to find answer to the question: how far would you go to be there for your best friend?

There is so much more between Chloe and Shaw than just sex, but for a while, that's what Shaw needs. He feels terrible. He knows he’s using Chloe, but his feelings run deep for her as well. I rooted for this couple so hard. Even though this was a short one, you could really feel their connection (due to that fact that they were always best friends and really cared for one another).

I love forbidden love stories. Wednesday had that. It also had a touch of brother’s best friend (even though they were best friends, Shaw was also close to Chloe’s brother, Jason). I loved the twist with this one. I thought this was an interesting idea for a story and loved the direction it took by the end.

If you’re looking for a fast paced, emotional and steamy read, pick this one up! It only took me a little over an hour to read and I enjoyed it.

And this is where I say goodbye to Kendall Ryan’s books…

I admit, I was hesitant to pick up this one, considering my first experience with this author's work, The Gentleman Mentor, was extremely ugly. But this book’s blurb sounded promising enough for me to give it a go, and look what happened to me after finishing this one! I was upset! It was a letdown. I expected heartbreaking drama and impressive ending, sadly I got none. It turned out to be a plain, bland, unpleasant, and irritating story.

Shaw is an asshole. He should be rotten in his miserable confusion forever. I was so annoyed with his weakness. I don’t understand why he couldn’t let go of what his wife did. Why he couldn’t move on with his life. It was one thing if his wife had still been alive, but she was dead! I felt like he still held a grudge against her though she was long gone.

Chloe wasn't any better than Shaw. I had to give her a round of applause for staying strong in her doormat position throughout the entire story. Seriously?! She let him use her as a fuck buddy for eight months. But most of all, her attitude towards herself totally rubbed me the wrong way. She thought she was a bad guy who took advantage of him when he was at his weakest. Oh come on! He was the only one who dragged her into the bathroom and f**ked her senseless, and after that he came to her place every Wednesday to have sex with her for two hours. Yuck! This was stupid!

Honestly, before I reached the 50% mark, I thought this one was far better than The Gentleman Mentor and I had some hope it would be my 4 stars read. But when I was at 68%, I started to feel unsure about the stars. And at 85%, my rage knew no bounds—there was nothing I wanted more than to kick Shaw in the head. The reason behind this Wednesday sex ritual was unacceptable and unforgivable! It was disgusting. I thought THIS was bad enough, but damn, what I found in the epilogue was the final straw—they created a charity in his late wife’s name. WTF!

*Sorry for my ranting.

However, this book was short enough that it took little time to finish it. If you are looking for hot sex, you’ll definitely get hot sex from this short story.
This is just my personal liking. Please don’t let my review discourage you from reading this one.

I liked parts of the story but I felt like Shaw was using Chloe and I didn't find it romantic. I get that people grieve differently but he strung his best friend along for too long. I enjoyed Shaw's dirty talk but even I felt abandoned after he was done and walked out. He was a jerk in some instances even if I don't feel it was intentional. Shaw's revelation and subsequent heart to heart with Chloe felt rushed. I wish we could've seen them grow more as an official couple. Other than that, it's a quick sexy read. Safety: They date other people though neither does anything physical with them. No sharing. They use condoms. Neither is a V. No rape/abuse.

Nothing beats getting an unexpected/unplanned release from one of your go to authors. When I see Kendall is releasing a new book I am all about reading it. Her stories are comfortable for me, if that makes sense. The are sexy, fun, light reads that put a big happy smile on my face.

Chloe and Shaw are best friends, but over the past few months their relationship has changed. Shaw’s wife died and what started out as a mistake, a one time hookup has turned into more. On the night of his wife’s funeral he finds himself sleeping with Chloe while trying to gain comfort.

Chloe reminded me of so many girls, in love with her best friend and willing to do anything to make the pain go away. And honestly willing to do anything to have even a piece of the person she loves. I really understood that, but I didn’t really understand Shaw at first.



The story really starts after this arrangement has been going on for four months. At this point Chloe is realizing this isn’t really good for either one of them. He needs to really grieve, heal and move on and she needs to give-up on someone who will never see her as more than a friend.

I love the premises for this story and in the end I really liked both characters. Call me greedy, but I just wanted a little more. I wanted more time with them together. I wanted to really feel his love for Chloe. I didn’t feel a connection to the characters like I normally do, but this book is intended to be quick it isn't a full length novel. That being said, this one is perfect for when you want something sexy and quick.

This was my first from Kendall Ryan and I liked it. I heard before that her books are hot and angsty and it's all here but it also had an emotional part that I liked. Overall, short and steamy but will also keep you on your toes while rooting for the main characters to be together. Pretty decent for an afternoon reading. If you need a quickie in your book life then I recommend.

“He was my drug. Bold. Intoxicating. Addictive.”

Wow what an engaging, fast paced and intriguing story. "Wednesday" was a short novella, but was still packed full of drama, intrigue, charm and steam. Kendall Ryan certainly knows how to achieve something powerful and strong in only a short amount of pages.

"Wednesday" is a “friends to lovers” story between Shaw, who was grieving the loss of his wife and Chloe, who has been in love with Shaw her whole life. They’ve grown up together and been the best of friends.

“I used her to chase away the darkness. To forget the pain and regrets and guilt that swam, unchecked, inside me. And worse than that? I had no plans to stop.”

description

During the funeral of Shaw’s wife, Chloe allows him to use her for sex in a way to comfort and support him in the only way she knows how. She was such a strong and powerful woman and I don’t want to give too much away, because this story is definitely worth the read.

“He’s filled with turmoil and heartache and regrets, but for two hours every Wednesday all he feels is me.”

While reading this novella it begged the question “How far would you go to support your best friend?” and Chloe goes above and beyond to support her best friend and there is nothing she would not do for Shaw.

“In twenty five years he’d never laid a finger on me, never acted like I affected him at all. We’d practiced kissing when I was twelve, but that was so innocent compared to this.”

description

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a quick smutty fix, with a lot of hot steamy scenes and a beautiful story, with incredible character development. It was such a captivating, heart-warming story that made me feel all warm and fuzzy at the end.

2.5 Wednesday Sexytime Stars

Every Wednesday since that night, it was like clockwork. Shaw always found his way to my door and I always said yes, letting him fuck me however he desired.


First things first, this book is short. Like, 30ish% of the kindle locations short. While normally the quickies don't bother me, this book expected a lot from the reader in what I felt was too little reading time.

Shaw and Chloe, best friends since childhood, find comfort in each other after Shaw looses his wife to a drunk driver. While Shaw uses Chloe's body to find comfort and solace once a week, Chloe's realized too late she's in love with Shaw.



Wednesday is told from a first person dual POV which I appreciate. Without Shaw's voice the only thing offered would've been Chloe's inner ramblings on how strongly she felt about Shaw. How much she loved him. How he was still hurting and how the righteous, kiss-free once a week sex is how she can best help him. If only she felt comfortable asking Shaw where they stood?



Despite the length of the book, that got old pretty quick. We're told these two were best friends but it's not evident from the story itself. No cute flashbacks, no moments of levity between them present day. By the end all I was left with were two supposed friends hooking up and feeling bad about it. I normally enjoy Kendal Ryan but this one fell short of 3 stars for me.

I can’t fucking believe a woman wrote that shit.

One of the worst books I have ever read.

Shawn was married for like two years when his wife died. She died on a Wednesday in a car accident. Four days later during his funeral he fucks Chloe, his (ex) best friend since childhood. They were not very close anymore because his wife didn’t like their friendship and he was trying to be a good husband (asshole)

Shawn always had girlfriends while Chloe was always single (she did have sex). They were each other first kiss but nothing more ever happened until his wife died.


After the funeral where she tried offering going outside for fresh air but he took her to the bathroom instead and fucked her saying shit like “please, I need it” he started going to her house every single Wednesday to fuck her. They keep it a secret because his wife’s body is barely cold and he has no intention in more than a fuck. He arrives at her house, fucks her but no kissing (he only kissed her the first time) and then he left.

Ohh our magnificent hero asks our strong heroine to take care of his wife’s belongings even though he is fucking her every week he only cares about his “needs” not once consider the fact he is fucking with Chloe’s head. I loath him

She is always saying that for whatever he needs she is there even though she loves him and recently recognized that she had always loved him hence the reason she never liked his girlfriends and bla bla bla. She is a TOTAL DOORMAT. PATHETIC. WEAK. SECOND BEST

Shawn the utter asshole, mental abusive piece of shit treats her like nothing more than a wet hole for eight fucking months!!!! He gets jealous when some guys buy Chloe and her friends shots when they are at a bar and follow her to the bathroom because the pathetic loser spotted Shawn and decided not to go approach the guys. He demands her to go down on her knees he literally touch her shoulders to put her down so she can suck him off and guess what?? THE IDIOT DOES IT and after he cums he says her he is not getting her off and tells her not to go meeting the guys. 🤬🤬


Poor widow asshole feels guilty and sends a text saying he is sorry. He goes to her house on a Monday asking if she was upset because she didn’t answer his text she lies saying it is okay and when he hints that he wants to fuck her she tells him she is having her period the pig answer saying she has two more holes, they don’t fuck😡😡 She is still upset so next Wednesday when he arrives bringing her food she is not at home, he calls her older brother who is also his friend and ends up set up on double date. He laughs and talks to Lindsay and later the brother tells Chloe that Shawn and Lindsay went to a bar after the date. He didn’t do anything but still he NEVER did anything nice with Chloe he barely talks to her


She goes on a date too but she doesn’t even try to move on she makes women look bad it’s ridiculous. She goes out with a guy who is only there for a month bc of his work. Dipshit is jealous and I couldn’t possible care less about his emotions. They fuck again and he needs to fuck her hard so she remember him and the fact only him fucks her hard like that 🤢🤬
Now the best part of the book ASSHOLE SAID HE ALWAYS LOVED PATHETIC GIRL BUT KNEW SHE DESERVED BETTER AND THATS WHY HE NEVER ADMITTED HIS FEELINGS FUCK YOUUUU he even thinks that if dead wife wasn’t dead he wasn’t sure if he still would be with her (piece of shit screaming second best how the fuck wasn’t he sure??)

She goes to a second date so he decides to also goes to a second double date (his reasons are: her brother might be suspicious about them and she is going too). He leaves the date to goes after her and when she is leaving her date she and om notice him. They talk, he follows her home and sleep at her house but doesn’t fuck her uau such a Prince Charming. He asks to meet her on Wednesday but there is a storm while he is at his boat. Bla bla bla he has an epiphany and asks her out so they can talk.

Look how beautiful he thinks is her love for him. Such a health feeling a beautiful love story when the woman has no self respect and accepts stocking his cock once a week even though it breaks her 🤡
“She never questioned me, never fought me. She gave me what I needed, always putting her own needs aside. If that wasn’t the definition of love, I didn’t know what was.”


During this date he decides to spill his guts to Chloe and turns out he got married because dead wife was pregnant but she miscarriage before the weeding. They decide to be together anyway to make things right long short story dead wife was cheating him on Wednesdays uhuuuu what a prick he used Chloe in everything single way it’s disgusting

They met up at the Coral Reef Inn on Wednesday nights.”
Her jaw dropped. “Wednesdays?”
I nodded somberly. “I get it if you hate me, if you think I’m a total fucking prick.”
She shook her head. “I don’t. Not at all.”

Cmon she is too stupid too fucking weak it pisses me the hell off


They had dinner together then he takes her home and tells her he started the fucking because he wanted her but now it’s a need and he wants her to be his. She obviously says yes and ily. He answered saying he loved her more NO ASSHOLE YOU DONT LOVE HER AT ALL Jesus even when it comes to I love you she is the first one to say I gag


Ohh yeah he treats her the same way he treated his disposed condoms like total garbage but there is ZERO GROVELING

“And now, through circumstances and fate, I’d have the chance to love him in a new way. It was an honor I wouldn’t take for granted. It had been a bumpy journey, but now that we were together, really together, all the heartache and confusion over the past several months felt worth it.”
If it was me I would have my head checked because there is no way in hell I would consider have feelings for this fucker a honor

The beautiful epilogue
They create some shit for community like cleaning beaches every Wednesday and the best fucking part THEY NAMED IT AFTER DEAD WIFE the cheater ahhhhhh because she wasn’t perfect but she was human and she loved Shawn her own way
She is pregnant and they are married

The perfect ending would be if she kicked his ass then got married to a nice guy ended up pregnant with twins while he spend his days lonely suffering or he could have died during the storm I wouldn’t mind at all

I don’t remember ever reading about a woman so pathetic I knew I would have trouble with this book but never in my worsts nightmares I would imagine that shit show there is not even one good thing I’m impressed

Wednesday is a tale of two forbidden lovers coming together in one of their's time of need. When Shaw lost his wife he lost his way also. He doesn't know how to move on in the small tourist town that keeps reminding him of what he's now missing. To relieve his stress he starts an affair with his best friends little sister, who's also his friend, Chloe. Wednesday's are their night. Their night to forget, to live, to just let go and feel. But Chloe has been hiding her crush on him since she was young, and now that she's finally got him in her bed she's not sure she wants to ever let him leave.



This book had it all, the friends little sister, the friends to lovers, and the sexy as hell affair. I mean, of course I would want to read it. And I wasn't disappointed. I loved the connection that Chloe and Shaw had and getting to see both of them try, unsuccessfully, to fight it. They were both great characters, and together they were even better,

The only thing I had a problem with was how fast the ending came. It seemed a little rushed, which seems to happen a lot with novella's, but it kind of ruined the ending for me. I liked how it all came together, I just wish it took a little more time to get to that finish.

Overall, I would recommend this story for anyone that want a fast and sexy read. It didn't take me long at all to finish so it was a nice little afternoon break. Trust me when I say that Shaw is someone you want to meet.

"It was his next words that sealed the deal.
I need you, Chloe.
So have me, I whispered to him."


One word: JUICY!

This fast paced story is juicy, illicit, and down right scorching! Only Kendall Ryan could deliver such a powerful, heart pounding story in such few pages. She never ceases to amaze me. I'm constantly awed by her talent. She's an author I trust to bring it time and time again. And bring it, she did! Wednesday is a down right heady romance that not only delivers on heat, but brings a gut punch of feels that leave you intoxicated.

"He was my drug. Bold. Intoxicating. Addictive."

This novella follows Shaw and Chloe--best friends. Well, they were best friends until Shaw met Samantha and got married. After that Chloe kept her distance and Shaw did the same. But after the sudden death of Samantha, Chloe is left to pick up the pieces of her broken best friend.

Shaw's obviously in a bad place and Chloe hates that. She wants to make things better. One night, rather shockingly, Shaw reaches for her and they end up hooking up and my, oh my, are these two HOTTTTT!

“You like riding that big cock.” I rubbed her exposed cl*t in slow circles and she moaned. “Just like you rode my face earlier.”
She moaned again and circled her hips over me.
“That’s right. Get it, baby. Just like that.”


Chloe's left reeling. Up until this point Shaw's never expressed any interest in her sexually. Upset and unsure of what she allowed to happen, she's lost. But the next week, on the Wednesday, Shaw's back for more and he's HUNGRY. Chloe can't find it in herself to say no to him. He's her weakness. So these hook ups continue, in secret, every Wednesday, until it's no longer just sex, no longer a friend trying to comfort a friend. The lines have blurred.

"She had become an obsession for me. Who knew my sweet little friend with her wide, innocent blue eyes and high pink cheekbones was such an epic f**k? Perfectly shaped petal-pink p**sy with its greedy wet opening just begging me to fill it . . . her heartbeat that pounded just for me . . . the needy sounds she murmured when I entered her."

Honest to God, this story is so juicy you are going to be ON FIRE! I guarantee your thighs will be quivering and the IVG's (Involuntary Vaginal Clenches) will be OFF THE CHARTS. If there's one thing Kendall Ryan nails, it's the steamy sex scenes. She doesn't hold back in this riveting, intoxicating, wild ride. It's got feels. It's got steam. And it's wickedly addicting! Probably one of the best novellas I've read in a very long time! I highly recommended it.

Sad. Hot. Chloe got stuffed with cock. Oops, sorry. I got carried away (but she did spend a lot of this book filled up).

Books with dead ex's aren't my first choice but I heard this was filled with dirty sex, so I couldn't resist. And do you know what? It was worth it. Not only was Shaw completely filthy, he was rough and brooding but oh so loveable at the same time.

"My perverted bastard"

Chloe wasn't my favourite; she was weak when it came to Shaw and blinded by her love for him. She needed some lady balls. But I understood her.

You could class this as brother's best friend, second chance love and a friends to lovers story. Everything is packed in and wrapped up really well in a nice little package.

"This desperate need that claws at me. I wake up needing you. I come home needing you. I go to bed and all I need is you."

For those who would usually avoid dead-ex spouse

3,5 Hot Wednesday stars

"It's still me and you against world, Sunshine."

My friends this book was HOOOOOOOOT!!!
I really enjoyed it. It was a short sexy story about best friends being lovers after a bad event that happened and changed everything.I really like Kendall Ryan and her writing style that's why I've read a few of her books and as you can see still reading her work.

Everything started on a Wednesday.....
description

The bad, the worse and in the end the best things....

description

"You like riding that big c*ck. Just like you rode my face earlier."

Shaw and Chloe were likable characters and had some hot, rough, dirty sex making you blush and wanting to have some action for yourself.

description

"Yes, just tell me what you need..."
"I want you to feel me all the way until nest week.
So you know it's me who's been inside you and no one else."


description

Damn Shaw, you and your dirty mouth. Although I have to say that there was a couple things that were missing or some times I thought Shaw was kind of an asshole because of the way he talked, I mean it was dirty talking but I don't know it was a weird feeling...And Chloe wasn't strong. She pleased Shaw in every way possible and he took advantage of it.

"When we started out, it was because I wanted you, but it's more now. It's a need. This desperate need that claws at me. I wake up needing you. I come home needing you. I go to bed and all need is you."

description

Then he got his head out of his ass and made everything perfect!

"And I'm done fucking around here. You're mine now. Every part of you. As long as you want that too..."

Enjoy!xxx

3rd time around with Ms Ryan and did it deliver?

Let's analyze.

Ok, thoughts.
I have so many of them but I won't really go into details. I will, however, take you to my geishas' reviews who read it same time with me and they have mirrored my thoughts.

I'll go first with Alp. To quote one part of her review:
I thought THIS was bad enough, but damn, what I found in the epilogue was the final straw—they created a charity in his late wife’s name. WTF!
My sentiments exactly.
THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL. WTH, Ms Ryan?! You could've named it after Abe's or their island's. But you didn't and that's not very brilliant of you.

I can't let this slide without making a comment and if you've missed it, let me emphasize for you...my sweet gal pal, Alp that's who, had dropped (what I believe) her very first F* bomb....and I LOVED IT!
She went ballistic. She went Lucy Lui on this review.


Ahhhh. The lady is finally learning. She is starting to come to the wonderful dark side of rage-review and F*ck.

*grins*

Click this for her full review.

Then we have Jess's


Here's a part of her review:
I'm confused about the sexy times though - I don't know if they were safe or not. I guess if I have to ask if they were safe, I can assume that they weren't? Because at the start of the story Chloe says something about cum dribbling down her leg, but then at a later point in the book condoms are mentioned. I guess it could be her cum dribbling down her leg, but I don't know?

This wasn't clarified and had me scratching my head too. I'm with Jess, safe sex all the way, people.
--->If Jess can get her hands on a black light I can totally see her using it to check and confirm.

Ok, to put my two cents in..

“And that’s just how things worked with Shaw. No tender kisses on the mouth. No sweet words or longing glances. This man dived straight into the action.”



NO SHIT.
The author didn't dilly dally on the sex scenes. Straight away she shove a hot one in my eyeballz.

Did I like it?
FUCK, YES!

Did it live up to its title?
So long as we're exclusively referring to their Wednesday romp, then
HELLS BELLS YES!

To be honest, I was reluctant to dive in to this story.
But went ahead, I did, after all it was just a short read.
Colour me shock when I caught myself really digging it.


It has all the elements I loved - a scarred, tormented but awfully sexy hero.
So even though Chloe, our heroine is not using her smarts and Shaw being a jerk to her - it didn't bother me at all.
He even went irrationally alpha on her and I swooned, people. I SWOONED.


After all, I was just after their hot and sexy romp. *whispers* So I keep telling myself.


So imagine my happiness, Ms Ryan had me twirling on a dance floor full of balloons thinking this would be my first high star rating to her book only to get twisted, wrapped around and stuck with those balloons and made me fall over.




That charity there did it for me. Huge. Mistake. Ryan
Not a wise decision, you displayed there.
Jess was so dead on - Ms Ryan writes amazing sex.
But let me add something to it = Ms Ryan writes amazing sex only.

Rating this 2 why-can't-we-see-eye-to-eye, Ryan? Stars

Kendall Ryan writes amazing sex.

But that's about all I can say about this.

The characters are cardboard and the story is... practically nonexistent. Shaw pretty much used Chloe as his personal sex toy for the entire book and then when she started dating a nice boy he decided to pee on her leg and get all macho.

I'm confused about the sexy times though - I don't know if they were safe or not. I guess if I have to ask if they were safe, I can assume that they weren't? Because at the start of the story Chloe says something about cum dribbling down her leg, but then at a later point in the book condoms are mentioned. I guess it could be her cum dribbling down her leg, but I don't know? Am I focusing on this too much? Or should I be focusing on how Shaw didn't love his dead wife, she was cheating on him and yet he sets up a charity in her name in the epilogue? THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

*shrug*

This started off well and then ended up being whack. I think I'm going to go with three strikes and you're out, Ms. Ryan. I love the sex you write, but your characters and stories need work.

Thanks for the buddy read action you lovely Abtastic Ab Loving Geishas! I'm sorry we keep picking duds.

Got this off KU. It's super short but it was enjoyable and it had some really good angst, which I wish could've been developed more. It's still good though.

5 Saucy Stars

Kendall Ryan books are my guilty pleasure. EVERYTIME I pick up her reads, it’s always saucy, fun and I’m ALWAYS satisfied when I’m finished. You will be instantly hooked within the first chapter of Wednesday.

Shaw is a complicated man. He’s wife just died and he’s handling it the best way he can. By using his best friend Chloe and he uses her every Wednesday. I love a complicated hero. I love how tortured and selfish Shaw was. It was delicious to read the way he treated Chloe. But don’t you fret, Shaw isn’t a bad guy, he just has issues and Chloe wants to be the one to fix him.

Chloe is an adorable character. I found her really strong, caring and the kind of girl you root for in books. She cares for Shaw and just wants her best friend to get better, but it’s hard because Shaw is very closed off. Shaw and Chloe have this explosive relationship. He uses Chloe and Chloe is okay with that because she believes she’s helping him and she also can’t say no to him. Shaw and Chloe’s chemistry was tension filled and hot, yes to the steamy scenes.

“My drug of choice was my best friend, naked and writhing beneath me. Did that make me a monster? Maybe”


I really do love the storyline in this book. I found Wednesday really unique and to my surprise a fast pace read. I felt like I got to the heart and meat of the story and there was zero fluff. Shaw may not be the best Hero, but he has heart. I love his crazy attachment towards Chloe. Yes, he uses her, but he still cares for her, even if he doesn’t outwardly show it and that’s the kind of stuff I love to read in books. Shaw is dominate, the super alpha male you want to have his way with you.

Overall, I couldn’t put down Wednesday. It was different, it was spicy and I loved the main characters. Another Kendall Ryan win for me!

3 'Wednesdays' Stars!

I got this as a freebie (I think it still is!) and I decided to read it right away! I do find it's difficult to pack so many aspects in such a short story and I think Wednesday did pretty good. Shaw and Chloe are definitely hot together but I also have to say the whole behavior of both of them at the beginning kind of ruined part of their chemistry later for me.

Still, I enjoyed the reading experience and I am glad these two got their happy ever after at the end!

Fuc-ing heroine was his way of grieving his dead wife (strike one )🤢😠
But what to say about a female who lets her “childhood” friend aka male mc fuc-s her on the day of his wife’s funeral?(strike 2)🤢😤 and lets him come back for more everyday Wednesday??🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
She’s 2nd best. IMO, she deserves the title and they deserve each other.

I believe this is the first book I've read from Kendall Ryan. I'm not entirely sure why but when I checked out this book blurb (and the book cover pant pant) I couldn't resist giving it a try.

Shaw and Chloe have been best friends since childhood but that's all they've been- aside from him teaching her how to kiss in those early tween years. Now they're grown and out of college working in their family-owned resort businesses in the Florida Keys. Then Shaw finds himself a widower at the hands of a drunk driver. Thrown into a world of grief and feeling completely out of control, he turns to Chloe for an escape...for release.

Chloe is willing to do just about anything for Shaw. She's loved him for years but he belonged to someone else. Until now. He needs her, even if it's all just physical. Every Wednesday he comes to her door. Hard, hot and rough is the way he likes it and she gives him what he needs. Her heart be damned.

I wanted him to heal. I wanted him to be okay. And for those few hours every week, if he could lose himself in me, I was only too happy to oblige.

I must say this book was sizzling. My first impression of Shaw was not good considering his actions on the day of his wife's funeral! But then the steam took over, the story progressed and I found myself forgiving his flaws. Wednesday is a quick and steamy read with a bit of angsty tug at the heartstrings to go along with it.

Looking forward to more hot book covers steamy love stories from Kendall Ryan.

WEDNESDAY. The day known as Hump Day. On this day, a man lost his wife. And on this day, two best friends meet just to have sex. Hard-core sex. Passionate sex. Sex for a couple of hours where two best friends get lost in each other. On Wednesday, a man loses himself with mind-blowing sex with his best friend. On Wednesday, he needs her. On Wednesday, she is his. But what happens when the sex is blurred by feelings? Can Wednesday just be an ordinary day for sex or will this day mark a pivotal moment between two friends who just needed that push to make them realize everyday should be Wednesday? Can a broken man see his best friend as more than just a Wednesday hookup?

 photo db08b47aca5ba032c2e53959974834_zpshzpd7rlp.gif She had become an obsession for me. Who knew my sweet little friend with her wide, innocent blue eyes and high pink cheekbones was such an epic fuck?”



Wednesday by Kendall Ryan is a second chance erotic romance between two best friends who share a secret connection. They both love each other but it’s unspoken. While this book is a quick read, the love story between Chloe and Shaw didn’t feel rushed at all. Ms. Ryan delicately allowed readers to feel all the emotions coursing through Chloe and Shaw as they knew their feelings for one another will begin to get blurred as they continued their secret affair. I love the story of Chloe and Shaw on a deeper emotional level. Yes, this book is brimming with hot erotic sex but Ms. Kendall was able to incorporate heart into this sexy second chance. So if you are looking for a story, where two best friends get their shot a love then this book is for you.

Este es un Friends to lovers que si fuera más largo el libro me hubiera gustado más porque le faltó más desarrollo de como empezaron a ser fuck Friends y no que me lo contaron mediante un flash back y aparte que me cortaran la escena.

Y luego todo sucedió bastante rápido pero también así de rápido se lee, lo recomiendo para leer entre lecturas pesadas o cuando no tienes nada que leer.

Short and hot but seriously lacked romance. There was no chemistry between these two characters and I kind of thought Shaw was a dick.

Wednesday by Kendall Ryan ~ 4.5 Stars

“Hard-core fucking.

It’s not what I really want, but it’s all he has to offer. He’s filled with turmoil and heartache and regrets, but for two hours every Wednesday all he feels is me. How much I desire him, how desperate he makes me, how much I’d like things to be different between us. Real.

He used to be my best friend back before he got married. And now? Now, he’s a young widower. It would be wrong on so many levels to expect something more from him, so I give him what he needs. Dark, delicious fucking.

But I know I can’t keep this up. I’ve already given him my body, my soul. I want him to have my heart. It might drive him away forever, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Wednesday is an angsty romp told from dual points of view. If you’re in the mood for something quick and dirty, you’ve found it. Proceed at your own risk.”


***********************

“The first time we fucked, I was actually ashamed to admit, was after his wife’s funeral” ~~~ this should get your attention shouldn’t it? It intrigued the hell out of me :)

Shaw lost his wife in a car accident. At her funeral, Shaw screwed his best friend Chloe in her parents’ bathroom. Talk about a hot and at the same time sick coping mechanism . Turns out this becomes a regular event – for eight months every Wednesday Shaw looks for his next fix. Chloe and Shaw have been best friends since childhood. Until, that is, Chloe turns into his fuck buddy. Shaw runs a marina that his retired parents own and Chloe takes care of the family owned Inn. They were always together until Shaw got married. Chloe was heart-broken but she had her chance and she lost him. Now that Shaw is a widow and grieving his lost love, Chloe wants to be there for Shaw by letting him have his way with her. But how long can Chloe’s heart take the hurt before exposing how she really feels. Will a temporary romp between the sheets for physical satisfaction blossom into more? This surely can’t end well.

“Every time he left, it almost killed me inside.”

I like both main characters in this book. Shaw is handsome and a bit intense. I am a little vague at the beginning why he did what he did with Chloe. Is it his way of dealing? To seek solace? Or is it the attraction he always felt for her? Maybe it’s all the above?

Chloe is sweet and caring, probably caring for her best friend’s well being more than her own. She wants to comfort Shaw even if it kills her spirit in the process. But I think they love each other way before they even recognize it. It was unfortunate that Shaw’s wife died but everything is as it should be. And sometimes it takes almost losing someone to recognize your true feelings for one another.

I really like the setting of the story – a small coastal town. I imagine it being peaceful (except for the high tourist seasons) where everyone knows everyone else. Life seems relaxed and slow, even people working sounds fun. I would have loved to have a longer epilogue but overall this is a short book. Not to worry, good things come in small packages though – this story is full of feels – angsty, heart-pounding love, forgiveness and a whole lot of sexiness.

Overall, beautiful writing, gorgeous love story with loads of sexy times. This book brings Hump Day (Wednesday) to a whole new level you all. READ IT!!!
