The Virgin

Breakfast at Bennett’s, Book 1

By: E.M. Denning

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

Jonah Bennett is a virgin.

At twenty-seven, his inexperience is the most humiliating secret Jonah has. The men he's met always want to move faster than he does, and after one particularly disastrous first date, he's forced to turn to his best friend for help. Spencer is one of the few people Jonah trusts, but when he confesses his secret, Jonah fears their friendship may be over.

Spencer Givens is great with his hands.

An artist by trade, Spencer has always been creative with his talents and generous with his time, so offering his body to his best friend feels like a logical solution to what Jonah thinks is his biggest problem. The plan is simple—a little fooling around between friends until Jonah is ready to try dating again.

But Spencer soon realizes he doesn't want Jonah to date other people. The more time they spend together, the deeper in love he falls. Their agreement was only meant to be temporary, and even though the threat of losing Jonah is real, Spencer is desperate to make it permanent. If you love something you're supposed to let it go, but Spencer doesn't think he can.

Does Jonah feel the same? Or is their friendship ruined forever?

Contains mature themes.

Sweet and cozy, Kirt is always an auto buy if I like the book.

Super sweet friends to lovers with a Virgin MC and lots of teach me moments.
Jonah is a 27 year old virgin and though it sounds unlikely, the reason that he is makes total sense when it comes out in the end.
Spencer has always been attracted to Jonah but kept him firmly in the friend zone in his mind till Jonah has a disaster of a failed hookup and blurts it all out to Spencer.
This is a cozy, low angst, sweet and a little spicy friends to lovers with mutual pining, lots of emotional support, and a great HEA.
Kirt Graves is one of my favorite male narrators, he does both parts and is a great voice actor. I enjoyed his narration and the whole book experience.
