Flirt (Friction Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Arden Steele (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 109 ratings
No one who has ever met Cameron Stone would describe him as exciting or adventurous. His routine is simple, safe, and he firmly rejects spontaneity in all its various forms. He has a job he loves, a family who supports him, and friends who never try to push him past his comfort zone.

Life is good. In fact, his life is perfect—until one chance encounter turns his meticulously organized world upside down.

Asher Dare is everything Cameron isn’t. He’s gorgeous, charming, outspoken, and not afraid to take what he wants. He’s also an arrogant, pushy, serial playboy with commitment issues and a revolving door to his bedroom. In other words, exactly the type of temptation Cameron doesn’t need.

Still, nothing says he can’t flirt. It’s just drinks, one dance, a kiss or two. What could possibly go wrong?

Arden Steele

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Arden writes steamy m/m paranormal romance filled with fangs, mischief, and reluctant fated mates—because happily ever afters are best served with a side of chaos.

A true romantic at heart, she’s drawn to the tragically beautiful and the beautifully broken—those flawed men and the stories that make them heroes.

She’s been writing since she could hold a crayon and a juice box but has since upgraded to slightly more sophisticated tools. (And traded the juice boxes for an unhealthy amount of coffee).

When she’s not writing, she’s either lost in a good book or bingeing true crime podcasts—because nothing says romance author like an encyclopedic knowledge of murder.

    Normally, I am not a big fan of the HFN thing, but I have to say that this author did a wonderful job with this story. The characters were credible, the side characters were not 2D, and the dialogue (my biggest obsession in romance) was excellent. I both laughed and cried, but there was a steadfastness between the MCs that is both believable and wonderful.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021

    The premise here could have been totally messed up in the hands of another author but despite what seems to be a incongruous coupling, Arden Steele has given us two polarizing MCs, one of whom will steal your heart and want you to keep turning pages.

    If it wasn't for how the author develops Cameron Stone I would have bailed out early because I really didn't like Asher Dare (on the cover) from the start, and it took quite a while for me to warm up to him. I am sure I am not alone in this observation. Cameron is just so steadfastly cool that he brings Asher along to reality, and a real personality, with each passing chapter.

    I am not going to review the plot--it's a bit insane and sometimes convoluted, but it works in the end. And, the ending is a surprise--this is just the first book featuring this couple and when I catch my breath I'll grab the second one.

    This is my first book by this author and i was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

    Interesting cast of characters. I'd love to read Luke's story, Nico's, etc.

    This was a good book. A bit predictable, but still good. Asher is a single playboy who runs through men like a fish swims through water. He has a rough past that comes back to haunt him, and Cameron becomes his rock, his safe space. I'm not a big fan of cliffhangers, and this book just drops off right in the middle of the drama. I know book #2 is already out, so that makes it a bit better, but still, could've done without that. Otherwise, good book with the right amount of fun and drama.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    I loved everything about this book! It is well-written, entertaining and I could not put it down. The emotions I felt while reading Flirt had me laughing and crying all the way through it. Cameron and Asher come from completely different backgrounds but they feel an instant attraction when they meet. Asher is never with the same guy twice and Cameron does not have sex with a man until they have been seeing each other for thirty days. Being together makes it worth dealing with all of the obstacles in their way. Having a relationship is new to Asher and he also has to deal with someone from his past who is threatening to expose the horrors he dealt with as a teenager. Their friends and Cameron's family are there to help and support them and these characters add a lot of depth to this story. This book does end on a cliff hanger which I usually hate but it was so good that it didn't bother me that much and I can't wait to read the next book in this series!
    I was given an ARC to review by the author.

    This author is new to me so I was taking a chance and I'm glad I did! This turned out to be a good story with great character development and an interesting plot. It is a cliffhanger but it looks like it won't be long until the next book. I really like Cameron and Asher together and they way the compliment each other, but I am also looking forward to the other character's stories. This seems like a great start to an excellent series!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hesitant at first...
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023

    Arden Steele has quickly become one of my favorite authors. In this book, we meet Cameron Stone and Asher Dare. Cam has his own successful business where he meets playboy one-night stand Asher at a club. I'm not much for reading a book with a MC that "gets around" but something told me to stick with this first book in a duet. I am so glad I did. I absolutely loved Cam and he was so perfect for Ash because his way of dealing with his traumatic past was to get around. Throw in a found family for Ash and fun-loving side characters and I just fell in love with this. Soooo yes, I was anxious to get to the second book where Ash finally has to confront head on with what happened when he was a teenager ( 🥺 ). If you haven't read this then I highly recommend you do so...🥰🥰

    A great story of love and trust.
    Ash is a serial one nighter, until he meets Cameron.
    Getting a ring side seat to Ash succumbing to Cameron charms was enduring.
    Love the way the writing engaged me. This was a page turner. Hilarious.
    4.5 stars.

    1.0 out of 5 stars My expectations were too high!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2022

    I read this via Kindle Unlimited.
    The synopsis actually does the book a disservice, it makes the novel seem to be a good read.
    It's not.
    Yet again the author relies heavily on cliché after cliché. Every negative trope of the gay community and lifestyle makes an appearance in this novel.
    Both protagonists have appalling personalities.
    One is dithering and appears to have been imported from an Edwardian novel. Though, throughout the story, he does everything that is against his personality.
    The other "sleeps" with any guy, and doesn't care where or when.
    After reading the prologue and chapter one, things go down hill very quickly. This is when I realized that, in my opinion, this ebook is aimed for the straight female community and not, as the review would have you believe, for the gay community.
    This is saddening as I have purchased and own nearly every other Arden Steele's ebooks.
    Reading through this story felt like someone running their nails down a chalkboard, absolutely painful.
