For years, Alyssa has been going to bed with a memory. Is she ready to wake up with a fantasy?

Some people wait their whole lives to find their soul mate, but not Alyssa Barrow. She met Rob at sixteen, and they were set to live happily ever after—until he became ill. In his final days, Rob urged his beautiful, young wife not to abandon happiness—or pleasure. He even left her a special gift, a sexy game plan to help her move on: Thirty cards with instructions for thirty days of passion. You’ll know when the time is right, he’d said. Now it’s two years later, and when Alyssa meets her hot new neighbor, Harrison Kemp, she begins to think the right time is right now…

From his sculpted thighs to his devilish grin, Harrison is the kind of man women want. Before she can lose her nerve, Alyssa tells Harrison about her long-ignored cards…and asks him to help her fulfill them. It’s a favor he’s more than happy to, um, perform. With his skillful touch, and the hot press of his lips against her skin, Alyssa finds herself re-awakening to life—and a host of other sensations. But what began as not-so-innocent fun soon grows into true intimacy, and Alyssa realizes she’s opening herself up not just to sex…but to love. When it comes to a future with Harrison, what’s really in the cards?

Saucy, heartwarming, and insightful, 30 Days explores the agony—and the ecstasy—of starting over, and how a little encouragement, and a little courage, can go a long way…

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

You always said you never regretted being with me so young, but you also didn’t date anyone else.  You didn’t sleep  with anyone else.  I took that experience from you and I always hated that you didn’t get to explore.  I wanted to give you my permission to go out there and experiment.  Have fun.  Fool around and don’t feel the least bit guilty about it.”

This story was super funny and sexy, and although it had all those qualities there were also heartbreaking moments as well.  Alyssa is such a very well developed character.  And the story was so easy to read, it was hard to even put this book down.

Alyssa and Rob were soul mates, at least she thought so until she looses Rob to cancer.  In his final days he pressures Alyssa into living her life to the fullest once he’s gone.  He doesn’t want her to be heartbroken or sad.  He wants the bright and vibrant women he knows to continue living her life the same way, without him.  He leaves her a 30 day sex game list that he wants her to accomplish after he dies.  After 2 years, she decides it’s time to start the 30 day game when she notices her attractive neighbor.  Harrison, the attractive neighbor, decides he will help her with the game.  Alyssa agrees to a friends with benefits  relationship and it works out just great until she starts to develop feelings for Harrison.  I absolutely loved this book!!  It was so hot and funny, but also heartbreaking!!
