That inked bad boy who’s been flirting hard with me since he rode into town? Turns out he’s my new housemate, which is one hell of a problem since our chemistry is so hot it should be illegal.
I have a fantastic family, great best friends, a job I love…and now I’m up for a promotion to police sergeant. I need total focus—not a flirty, dirty, irresistible, tattooed hottie riding into my town on his motorcycle. Can I arrest him for being too good-looking? When he kisses me senseless in the back of a waffle truck, it’s criminal, the things he makes me think about hot syrup and melted butter. One order of hot, fluffy hookup to go, please. But the next time I see him, it’s not for our date with benefits. He’s the guy who just rented the room above my garage. I need the rent to pay my bills, not a man like Derek, who I soon discover to be strong, caring, generous, good with kids, and kind to puppies… If I’m not careful, he’ll be moving into my heart as well as my house.

A no-strings-attached fling with the fiery redhead who revs my engine? Why, yes, that does sound like a delicious perk of my new job in this new town, thank you very much. I’m coming off a bad relationship, and I have zero interest in anything serious. I’ve got all the serious I need helping my sister take care of her three little kids while her husband is deployed. Except, surprise! Perri isn’t just my future fling. Turns out she’s my sexy, sassy landlord. A lease definitely counts as “strings attached,” and as much as I’d like to get tangled in her sheets, I can’t let myself get tangled up in a relationship. But as soon as we put the cuffs on our escapades, I learn over late-night conversations in the kitchen, that my landlord is so much more than the sexiest woman I’ve ever met– she has a quick mind and the biggest heart.
Once I’m in, I’m all in. And to convince her that we should see where this goes, I plan on turning up the heat—and not just in the kitchen.

I loved getting to know Perri in this book. She's an interesting mix of tough and sweet, and I found that to be extremely relatable. She's focused, driven and comfortably independent. That to me made it all the sweeter to watch her learn how to lean on someone other than her best girlfriends, Arden and Vanessa. I could definitely see myself being friends with Perri!
Derek. Oh, holy wow. So I have a list of book boyfriends...and then I have a list of Lauren Blakely book boyfriends. Derek ALMOST knocked my all time favorite Blakely boyfriend off his pedestal. Derek is smart, sweet, kind and insanely sexy. I loved getting to know him and I swear, I fell for him right from the start. I absolutely love him.
These two just have a spark right away. It's undeniable, it's inevitable. They try to resist it but once they come together? Wow. Their sexy times were scorchingly hot. Their first kiss? Well, if I were in a kissing contest I'd recreate that kiss. Sexy times aside, watching these two fall for each other and lean on one another was so satisfying to me.
Whenever I read a book from this Author I feel like I'm wherever the characters are-be it a small town or big city. The Feel Good Factor is no different. I felt like I could lift my eyes from the pages and be in the small town of Lucky Falls, go to a book club at Arden's book store or go bowl with Vanessa. The writing just takes me there. I love seeing characters from other books mentioned, I get such a kick out of that. That being said this book IS a standalone.
The writing here is sharp and fun. The supporting characters are awesome-kids included. Sometimes kids in books don't come off well; they're either forgotten about or just don't translate through the pages. That's not the case here at all. The pacing here was perfect.
I was also lucky enough to listen to an audio of this book. These narrators really brought Perri and Derek to life. Erin Mallon just knocks it out of the park-she always does in my opinion. Joe nailed Derek; his tone and manner of speaking just was so perfectly Derek to me. These two play off each other very well and perform this book very well.
When I read a Lauren Blakely book I never want it to end....but I can't help myself from devouring it. The Feel Good Factor was no different. This is a book that will stick with me and I know I'll read it over and over. It is the perfect blend of sassy, sexy and sweet. I loved this book and absolutely recommend it.
Seriously, the chemistry between Derek and Perri is electric.
It sizzles and it works. In some books, it feels like the author is forcing the chemistry to be there as they are wanting to write a really sexy story. You know the ones I mean, there's no chemistry and you aren't sure the characters even like one another...but they essentially trip over the couch and there you have it, sexytimes and all of the build up you are going to get to explain the hot sex. This is not what you get in this title.
Perri and Derek have an attraction that is not only hot, but feels natural and fits into the story. I felt like I was reading a really hot romance...not sex scenes strung together with some obligatory dialog.
Part of this, really all of it, is the writing. The characters acknowledge that sex is better when the feelings are there, and when the feelings get better, the sex does too. And, when you build from a genuine attraction and enjoyment of one another, and realize that you are with the person who is meant for you, you get not only a romance...but really, really hot sex.
But, what they don't mention (maybe because they are characters in a book) is it's because the writing lets the reader go on the journey with them. You feel them falling for one another, you feel the attraction. It's the little things...the wanting to be together, the adorable chalkboard notes, the wanting to snuggle and cuddle, the making of gifts for the other. It's all there, and while they are both present for it, they both also miss the signs because, really, it's all about the kissing. They are merely practicing for a kissing contest.
At least that is what they keep telling themselves...and absolutely no one believes them. Most importantly, they don't believe it themselves for very long.
The journey from their attraction to real and lasting love is a lot of fun (have I mentioned it's scorchingly hot?) and I recommend this title.

Today is my lucky day.
I’d like to thank my sister for getting my ass out of bed.
I’d like to thank my niece for telling me the nice lady with the paints had just made her way down the veggie aisle.
And I’d like to thank fate that this avocado stand is in an out-of-the-way corner of the market, and that the farmer running it must have had to take one hell of a leak.
It’s just us.
This woman is fiery, flirty, and already driving me out of my mind. The stream of market-goers has thinned to a crawl as we near closing time, and left us in a cocoon of raw lust.
I place the fruit on the red-and-white-checkered tablecloth, brush my fingers over her hip, and tug her against me. She lets out the sexiest little sound. “Tell me your name. I’m dying to know.”
“Why do you need it so badly?”
“So I know what name to say when I’m fantasizing.”
A murmur crosses her lips, and she leans her head back against me, her hair spilling down my chest. “Are you fantasizing about me?”
“Every. Single. Night.”
“You must be having a log of long nights, Mr. Trouble.”
“Long, hard nights…Miss Demeanor,” I say with a smirk, trying that nickname on for size.
“Well played.”
“Thank you. It just came to me.”
She glances back at me, her green eyes looking rife with dirty thoughts. “Do you want to come down to the station with me?”
“I want your name, beautiful. Give me your name,” I growl into her ear, commanding her.
“Perri,” she says breathlessly, her voice betraying her longing. A longing that matches mine.
“Perri,” I repeat, tasting her name on my tongue.
Her voice tightens to a warning and sharpens as she speaks. “Don’t say it.”
I narrow my brow in question. “Say what?”
“Don’t say it’s a guy’s name.”
I laugh lightly in her ear, jerking her ass closer to my hard-on. “Do you honestly believe I’m thinking for one second about guys right now?”
She lets out a gasp, chased by a soft moan. “I don’t know. What exactly are you thinking about?”
I drag my scruff against her neck. “How close I am to getting a ticket for indecent everything.”
She wriggles her sexy rear against me. “I’d say everything feel way more than decent.”
I groan as a dart of lust shoots down my spine. I’d like to find a way to kiss the breath out of her right here, right now.
She tenses against me, her body straightening like a ruler, and my gaze flicks to the new crowd of people streaming around the corner, heading toward us.
Fuck me.
