Slade (Walk Of Shame #1) Kindle Edition

by Victoria Ashley (Author), Clarise Tan (Illustrator), Charisse Spiers (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 5,896 ratings
My name is Slade Merrick and I’m a sex addict . . .
I’ve been told it’s a problem.
I see it as a passion... something I’m good at.
And who stops something that they’re good at?
They want me to seek help. Don't judge my lifestyle. You’re no better than me. Just admit it, you like to have sex too.
Sex is what I do best; my own personal high, so I embrace it instead of being ashamed.
When I'm not fu*king, I'm slinging drinks at Walk of Shame or stripping my way into your bed, another thing I'm good at. Every woman’s darkest fantasy brought to life.
So, am I stopping?
Hell no.
Sex is beautiful, raw and erotic and I get off knowing I can have it with anyone I want . . . with the exception of her.
Aspen.
She walks into the club swaying those hips, instantly drawing my dick to attention.
She’s pure perfection.
That is, until she opens that mouth, drawing me in, and for the first time in forever, I want something more than sex.
I want her, and she hates it.
Things get dirty. Dirty is what I like... it’s how I live.
But she’s playing a game she can never win. . .

    This short novella really packs a sexy punch!

    I love Slade, Cale and Hemy and I want them all to dance for me please.

    For a short novella this book has a lovely story.
    Slade is a damaged and tortured man he uses sex to numb the past hurt, he cannot feel it’s just too painful for him, drink and meaningless sex are what gets him through the day, that is until Aspen walks into his life.

    Aspen isn’t like all the other women Slade is used too, she doesn’t fall at his feet she’s feisty. Slade shouldn’t want her, Aspen shouldn’t want him , but they have a pull towards each other.
    Slade and Aspen practically combust when together, they are sexy hot, melt into a puddle hot.
    When Slade reveals the reason why he acts the way he does my heart strings pulled so tight I wanted to hug him right along with Aspen, then when Aspens secret is revealed I wanted to slap he silly, I was thinking hasn’t he been hurt enough.

    I loved this story it was a wonderful bit of escapism, well written with great main characters and really good secondary characters that I cannot wait to read more from.

    A great hot sexy book about one of the Walk Shame strip club workers by Victoria Ashley. She has created two very charismatic characters and the first chapter draws you in.... Wow that scene is hot!!!

    Slade is a troubled man who numbs his pain with sexy and alcohol, he has a body worth flaunting and he does that well, but never ever returns to a woman after one night.
    Aspen is a woman seeking some space and needing to deciding what she wants so goes to stop with her friend Cale, Slade's house mate. This is where the fun and games begin of refusing to give in to temptation and what happens when you let someone in...

    I won't spoil your reading, but this book is fast paced, well written and full of heat.

    Oh My Word.....what can I say? Hot Damn!!

    This was dirty, dirty good, dirty bad and thoroughly enjoyable. I wasn't expecting much, thought I was going to get pages upon pages of smut but it was not that at all. There's a really good story in here along with some smoking hot action. I loved the scene in the rain, and it's certainly true that there is a thin line between love and hate. Slade had my panties in all kinds of twists I have to say...but my heart broke a bit for both him and Aspen, good solid characters. Neither of them looking for what they eventually found, quite content to live their lives as they were doing until they collided with each other.
    I'm looking forward to reading about Hemy but I hope there is a substantial story there too....this might be hard to top! Fab...recommend it highly.
    5/5 for me :)

    The lead male Slade is a damaged and tortured man who uses sex with random women to blunt his pain. He's a stripper at a club called The Walk of Shame. He lives with his best friend Cale who is also a stripper at the same club. When Aspen a long time friend of Cale comes to stay, she's attracted to Slade. But he has a rule he only ever has sex with a women once. Aspen is determined to resist Slade, she has no intention of being another one night stand in the very long list.

    I quite liked the characters in this story, but it was rather difficult to feel a deeper connection between them other than lust. There's plenty of sex in this, and Slade certainly likes to talk dirty. I didn't quite get how Aspen found it hot watching other women paw at Slade, but then this isn't a traditional romance. But if your looking for a hot read with plenty of sexual content and not much in the way of a plot this fits the bill.

    Omg , if you love hot sex scenes , male strippers with a body to die for and a real good story line then this is the book for you . I have spoken to many people who have read this book and we've all come to the same conclusion : hot and steamy , orgasm's that can blow your mind but the best of all ; the story . Once you open that first page you are in trouble of neglecting the outside world . Your heat beat races because you get turned on over some serious pantie wetting sex that your jealous over ( don't ask me how you get turned on by this , you just do !) , you read with a lump in your throat and a knot in you stomach .

    Victoria Ashley has certainly got a way with words and I am and will be a massive fan forever .
    Oh , and by the way , it's not going to be long before I read it again

    This was the first book that I've read by this author, but I've had the book on my kindle for a while. I have mixed feelings on this book, because the first half I wasn't keen on, the stripping, the meaningless sex, the attitude, it just didn't sit well with me. Then Aspen, she annoyed the life out of me for the first 60% of the book. She took blowing hot and cold to a new level. However, then the story changed. The back story to Slade come out, the back story to Aspen come out, and the dynamics changed. The characters changed in the blink of an eye and my heart broke for Slade. Then it ends, and I'm desperate for more. I just felt the beginning of the book was pointless sex, stripping, and more sex, but the real story was over before it really begun. I will have to read book 2, just to see what happens with Slade and Aspen, because so much was left unanswered.
    This is a quick story, and if you like a lot of sex scenes and harsh talk this is a book for you.

    I can't even contain myself right now from all the feels, mostly excitement cause that Slade... OMFG to the max. Damn that man is hot! And if you can't get enough of his body, wait until he opens his mouth, he'll have you begging for it and get you there without even touching you. He's that good! He is the ultimate playboy, in the best way. Idk how I could even make sense now, I'm a little flustered. I finished it last night and today I'm still freaking out. This man is sex-on-a-stick and so delicious you want to lick him up... everywhere. And that's just his body, the things he can do with the English language is beyond erotic, beyond anything I could even explain. The man is unbelievably hot!

    Victoria Ashley just got on my automatic reading list, if the woman publishes a book I'm reading it, no questions asked.

    This book is the sexiest, most erotic book I've read.

    Okay, onto the story. Slade is an erotic dancer at a club where he meets Aspen. He's teasing her because he wants in her pants, then he finds out that she is the new temporary roommate, even more of a challenge for him. He has to have her, but he has rules; you only get to ride the Slade train once and if you agree, you are in for the best night of your life, guaranteed. Oh he'll show you a good time alright, for a price, it's only once and What. A. Shame. Cause after being with Slade you're ruined for every other guy, and that's exactly how he likes it; being every woman's fantasy.

    Aspen is staying with her friend Cale for a week, she needs to get away from her life and take a breather. When she comes to Cale's place of work which is a club/male strip club she sees Slade paying extra attention to her. It makes her uncomfortable, she's disgusted with him dancing half naked with women drooling over him. She tried do hard to keep her legs closed but Slade is too good at getting women to bed him, he knows their weaknesses and can talk so dirty it turns you on. But he's a male slut and she's not interested in being one of his conquests. But when she can't fight him or her treacherous body any longer, she gives in and she hates it. He seems to know what she needs and he wants to give it to her, but when his jealousy gets in the way, he finds that he might want to break his rules for her and be with her again.

    My favorite parts are when Aspen tries to fight against her lust for for Slade. He wants her and will stop at nothing to get her. He teases her so much with words and with actions. He gave her a striptease in front of the whole club that was unmistakably the hottest thing I've ever read. His view was that she needed to see hoe excited she made him feel, but it only embarrassed her to no end. Slade likes that she won't give in, he likes a challenge, he's convinced that he's going to get her and can't wait. He's the talk of the town, he's been with many women and they don't skimp on the details of how good he is.

    When these two find out each others secrets, it is a ground breaking explosion. It is an earth shattering experience for both of them to learn their secrets. Their stories are heartbreaking and difficult, Slade's more so but Aspen's story is also sad. They have a lot to work through as they learn their feelings for each other and as they develop. Their relationship(if you can call it that) was rough, impulsive, explosive, and very satisfying. As we learn their secrets we see them as differently as they see each other, their vulnerable sides are exposed and so are their hearts. But with their heart on their sleeves, someone is bound to get hurt, but who would it be? And can they go back to living their lives as if they didn't know each other or will their lives never be the same?

    The other characters were really great as well, no annoying best friends in this book. Cale was Slade's roommate and Aspen's sister's best friend from childhood. Cale was really nice to Aspen in letting her stay with him for a week to get her head straight. He was an equally good friend to Slade, they worked together and lived together and he was there when Slade needed someone. Cale was supportive and protective of his friends, not mention hot. So is Hemy, who is also a sex machine, haha. Aspen has the hots for Hemy as well but Slade won't have that, he wants her all to himself even before he was with her. I'm so glad that Hemy and Cale are getting their own books, I can't wait to read them. There's a sneak peak at Hemy's story and it sounds so good.

    I could not get enough of this book! The feels were overwhelming and my pulse was on overdrive. What an exciting read, I didn't want it to end, this did not feel like a novella at all. So much happened, yet it leaves you wanting more, much more. I haven't read anything like it, simply spectacular!

    This book was great from beginning to end. The characters were full and interesting with twisting backgrounds that had forged their behaviour and way of thinking. The journey taken by the two main characters makes sense and is full of emotion, fun, laughter and tears. Yes, there are some steamy scenes. Most gals would give their eye teeth for a guy like Slade to cherish them!
    Can't wait for the next book!!!!

    O livro é bem escrito, tem muitas cenas de sexo e são bem escritas, mas a história inteira gira apenas em torno dos personagens principais. Não tem muita história, tem muito sexo e paixão. Dependendo do que o leitor procura, esse livro pode ser cinco estrelas ou apenas uma. De qq forma ele é pequeno e tem fim (a continuação da série será sobre outro personagem mencionado nesse livro) então eu aconselho.
