Rough Around the Edges Kindle Edition

by Verity Arden (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 365 ratings

Divorced, jaded, and definitely grumpy, Nate’s working long hours and living the dream one take-out pizza and beer at a time.

So when he comes home to find his apartment flooded, he rolls with it.

What he doesn’t expect is for the hot college student from the apartment above to end up showering in his.

Chloe is done with college boys after finding her boyfriend making out with another girl at a party.

What she wants is someone older and more mature.

What she desires is the six foot five, good in an emergency, and rough around the edges Daddy.

It just so happens that he lives in the apartment below hers.

    This story was short and steamy and just what I needed to end my night.

    I'm a sucker for an age story where he does a bit of groveling and is all in...and Verity checked all those boxes.

    A yummy read.

    I absolutely loved this book! As I was reading I was enjoying Jake more and more...so possessive and when he growled 'Mine!' my eyelashes, indeed, fluttered. Chloe was such a sweetheart and is a perfect foil for him. They both made me laugh (which is VERY enjoyable!) and the stockroom scene will never be forgotten. If I could give it 10 stars I would! I have checked out her other books and have purchased them. Sexy times with humor are definitely needed...thank you!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Daddy’s Little Girl…
    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023

    Oh this one brought the Daddy hotness to it! Nate is older, recently divorced and just a little grumpy when he meets a very young Chloe. He doesn’t waste time in getting a little frisky but stops because he feels like he’s not what she needs. Chloe feeling rejected doesn’t understand what she did wrong.
    They meet again with an explosive reunion. They don’t let any grass grow under their feet in this one. It’s a quickie of a story with that punch of steaminess that you will crave.
    Loving these quick hits from the author!

    Just a lot of good smut. I love this author no matter what pseudonyms she uses. Not deep in plot, character, or world building but it was not written as that type of book. I was ready for a hot, little novella and this delivered. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥/5

    5.0 out of 5 stars I'm re-evaluating my views on short stories
    Reviewed in Australia on May 27, 2023

    Wasn't sure about Verity Arden when l realised it was all short stories.
    But l am still reading and strangely for me, reviewing at first chance.
    Gotta say l much prefer a story l can sink into, but it is all here, just much condensed.

    Still hoping for more on Lilly, Ethan and Ryker.

    Definitely recommend these to all romantic or just plain interested in the genre.
    Like a coffee break, they fill the space and may even become a daily necessity.
    Please keep sharing your work with us, l want to read it, and l am sure l am far from the only one here.
