Rate this book
Can a superhero give her an orgasm?

Emily
Acting has become a major part of who I am. So well, in fact, my ex-boyfriends didn’t know I’d never reached orgasm. When my roommate, Jake, helps me out of an awkward and embarrassing situation with a Halloween costume, and learns of my failings, he seems determined to prove he’ll be the first man to give me an orgasm.
I’ve lusted after Jake forever and I might even have feelings for him, so it’s a bad idea, right?

Jake
I’ve had a thing for my roommate, Emily, since the day I met her. I jumped at the chance to rescue her when she needed a roommate. I’ll do more than that to be the first man to give her an orgasm.
Now to make sure I’m the only man.

Lustman to the Rescue is the humorous fifth standalone book in the Hollywood Hearts short story series. If you like instalove, holiday romance, and a quick read then you’ll love Helen Walton’s charming romance.

29 pages, Kindle Edition

Ummm... Burn That Costume !! . . .

After attending Natalie’s costume party at Conrad's house, Emily and Jake, who are roommates, are ready to call it a night and head home. But Emily has trouble getting out of her hot and sticky leather costume. When the leather didn’t cooperate, she ended up falling on the bedroom floor and let out an involuntary scream. Jake knocked on the door to see if she was okay. She was hanging off the bed, half-unclothed, one arm stuck behind her back and her legs up the side of the bed. He knew something was wrong, so he walked in. She was mortified and told him to leave and he teased that he wanted to take a photo first. When he backed to the door, she gave in and let him help. When he freed her right leg, it awkwardly fell open on the floor. She kept her eyes closed, pretending this was not happening! But she definitely had his attention!

Neither Emily nor Jake have realized the other had feelings for them since they did not want to risk their friendship by asking for more. But Jake’s help in getting her out of her costume got things going at last… Will they finally learn the value of communication which will give them the strong relationship they have both wanted? Laugh along with their fun “getting-to-REALLY-know-you” adventure!

Lustman to the Rescue is book 5 of the Hollywood Hearts series. It is a short and steamy, Halloween themed, girl gets her roommate rom com. Jake and Emily are actors and roommates along with their friend Natalie. The two have secretly been crushing on each other for some time. When they go to a Halloween party as Batman and Robin, Emily ends up getting stuck in her costume. Jake comes to her rescue and sees her half naked. Both admit they are attracted to one another, but Emily admits she's never had an orgasm with any of her boyfriends and is afraid to disappoint Jake. Jake makes it his mission to give her many orgasms that night and vows he will win her over. Will she finally have the big O?? This was a short, fun, and steamy read. The characters had great chemistry, and I loved their friendship too. Now, I need to read the rest of this series.

Natalie and Conrad are having a Halloween Party. Natalie is dressed as Wonder Woman, while Conrad is Superman. Nat’s besties as well as roommates, Emily & Jake, come as Batman and Robin. After making it to mid nite, Batman and Robin take an Uber home, however, Emily has trouble getting out of her leather costume. Hilarious and hotness ensues when Jake saves her. I thought it was a quick and great read. How two roomies who had strong feelings for each other, didn’t mention anything because they were worried about losing a friend and roommate. There are a lot of laughs in the book as well as some mentions to playing tricks and jokes on each other which were hilarious. Steamy stuff happened too.

I can’t wait to read the next book.

Emily and Jake's short tale is one that is fun and steamy and is a perfect escape that will have you laughing and melting.

Forced by their friends to dress up for Halloween in costumes that seem more like a death trap. Emily has had feeling for Jake, her friend and roommate, but has kept her distance. Jake is determined to prove to Emily that he is the one for her, and it seem it starts with helping her out of her costume.

Great fast read.

This is such a fun and quick read.

Emily and Jake are roommates, neither realise that the other has feelings for them, until she gets stuck in her Halloween costume.

It's so lighthearted with some added spice and a happy ending.

Would recommend for anyone looking for something to brighten their day.

I read the story from start to finish in one sitting. Two roommates, sweaty uncomfortable Halloween costumes and unexplored feelings for one another. This short story is sweet but mostly smut. I found the characters to be very realistic. Nice quick read in between other books or if you want a quick one shot read. Book 5 of a series, can be read as a standalone.

I liked the simple plot and hot smutty scenes, but I didn't really care for their friendly chemistry. Also the love confession that came out of nowhere? Not a fan of that considering we didn't know how long she had been in love with him. Overall, it was good, but I would rather reread the other books in the series over this one.

Thanks to Booksprout for a copy.

This is a super (pardon the pun) sweet short about how two people are perfect for each other, if only they had the courage to tell each other!
This is sexy and short but has all the ingredients it needs to make it a fun read!

The author has given us a fast-paced story that pulls us into the lives of Emily and Jake. The story keeps us turning the pages with unspoken desire, realization and steam.

This was a funny and quick read. The visuals of the lead character removing her Halloween costume were spectacular.
