A Bit of Rough
When Alison meets Andrew ("call me Drew"), she instantly pegs him as a moron. He's a total bad boy and does nothing but chain smoke and brag about his stream of past conquests. Yet, much to her confusion, Alison still finds herself attracted to him. She's not had sex in a while, so Alison figures there's no harm in going home with him to get herself a bit of rough.

BRIEF SUMMARY
Alison is out with a friend when she sees Andrew. At first glance, Andrew seems to lack intelligence, but physically looks like a bad boy. With his constant smoking and stories of his long list of women, Alison is still attracted to him. She decides to go for it and enjoy herself.
THOUGHTS
Fans of real erotica, will appreciate this quickie novella that packs a whole lot of heat. Normally, my intimacy ratings for a well deserve book gets a D.R.I.P rating (Don't Read In Public), which I view as a good intimacy book. This book manages to squeeze two D.R.I.P ratings from me, which one is always good enough for my ratings. This book starts out like your typically book, girl meets guy, and is attracted to hot sexy guy. The book later takes your fantasy to another level, while reading Alison's juicy escapade with Andrew. The story is seen from Alison’s view on what is taking place. Andrew doesn't say much, but that's ok with me, actions speaks louder than words in regards to this book *wink*.
It was definitely a good form of erotica. It's a romance book, but if you are looking for a sweet romance, this is not for you. My only disappoint, is that I was enjoying the book and didn't want it to end so soon. I would have really loved to read more about Alison and Andrew; their chemistry was that amazing to me in this novella. I look forward to more books by the author.

A Bit of Rough is a brand new release. I love Lucy's books and as soon as I read the excerpt I had to have it. And check out that cover. Who doesn't like tattoos and A BIT OF ROUGH.

Loved this short story!! Made me want to go and find myself a bad, bad boy!!

This story is super short, super HOT, and totally worth your time. There isn't much any time for character development, but the story is built on stereotypes that we all know - the buff-as-hell man-whore and the chick who just wants to get laid.
And really, who needs or wants character development when you're reading a story that is purely sex. Nothing but crazy, mind-blowing, hot monkey sex.
The story is basically this - Alison sees Drew in a bar. He's hot, tattooed, and possibly not the brightest crayon in the box. He's bragging about how many women he's bagged - and yes....that's always a turn off. But when you're horny Alison and you're staring at Mr. Sure-Thing, well, who cares? She waits for him to come on to her, which he does - man-whores are so predictable - and they go back to his place for some, well, you know.
And like I said, there is some crazy hot monkey sex here. Like, "I needed to fan myself and have a cigarette after reading it" kind of hot. And I don't smoke! WOWZA.
There is no happily ever after for these characters, because Drew isn't the guy you happily ever after with. No. He's the guy you have labeled as "booty call" on your cell phone. That's it. THAT is the happily ever after!
Now....my question is this. Where can I buy a "Drew" and how soon can he be delivered to me?

review done for http://scorchingbookreviews.blogspot.com
This is a 17-page erotica short story. Not only does this make it difficult to review (hence, why I’ve used the blurb and not my usual rambling), it means that there is no character development. This doesn’t matter; I don’t want to love Drew and Alison because they don’t love each other. This tale is all about the sex. And a lot of sex there is too; they start on page 6 and carry on right up until the end! They meet in a bar, he’s a bit of a tart and she wants sex, so they go home together. The sex isn’t kinky, but it sure sounds satisfying! Ms Felthouse writes sex that makes your palms sweaty and heats you up...I really enjoyed the marathon session with the pretty but dull Drew! There isn’t a happy ever after; this isn’t an erotica romance and I accept the book isn’t about love, but very hot and steamy sex. I just realised that I have used the word sex EIGHT times in a 177-word review...I think this about sums up this hot little read! :D

Rough sex is delicious when coupled with a hawt bad boy. Alison and Drew heat up the seats with naked wrestling and erotic bites. This is one of those stories, every woman should live out once in their life.
Ms. Felthouse writes a very enjoyable story with a believable plot line. It's a tightly written, straight to the point diary confession. Is it wrong to identify with this story? Someone, I'm not mentioning who, may have repeated this phase with a bad boy Drew multiple times. The sex in this tale is fast and furious. The story is a quick light read and recommended for those who enjoy the horizontal dance with a bad boy.

I received this book as a review copy in return for an honest review.
Short and sweet, this is just about the sex. A woman's needs and urges satisfied. There's only 17 pages so no complex plot and no character development, but then it is just about the sex - and good sex it is too.
Lucy Felthouse manages to squish plenty of spine tingling sauciness into those 17 pages and as it's a quick read you can move *cough* onto something else in no time after reading this.

Finally a book I can pretend I am the heroine of the piece!!
Alison (It's even spelt the same way!) meets Drew and knows he is not her type but boy does she want a bit of him - who doesn't harbour that secret desire to hit up a bad boy!
A really quick read but enjoyable non the less.

Based on the title alone I expected this short story by Lucy Felthouse to be an erotica novella having a bit of BDSM and a bit of rough sex, which belief was reinforced when I read the blurb. I started out envisioning Drew as one of those irresistible bad boys who exude a vibe of danger yet give you thrills just by looking your way.
And maybe it was because of my expectations that I felt a bit lukewarm. Although Drew is made to sound such a bad boy with tattoos and smoking/cursing, yet somehow he seemed tame to me. The sex scenes between Alison and Drew were hot and they definitely made the story steamy and the reader fan herself when they got between the sheets, but based on the title I would have liked their sexual encounters to be a bit kinkier, even more forceful.
A Bit of Rough was a great steamy story, which packed more than enough heat for its shortness. Lucy Felthouse's detailed yet atmospheric writing definitely made the pages sizzle! If you are looking for a thrilling, sexy and satisfying read A Bit of Rough is the story for you! (Just don't expect anything kinky or too spiced up.)

A Bit of Rough is a well put together straight tale of a middle class girl (Alison) ensuring she gets the erotic experience of a lifetime from a 'bad boy' (Drew), with whom she has nothing in common but a very horny libido. This tale is not designed to end with the words "...and they lived happily ever after," and is a stronger story for that fact.
Written from the female perspective, in a chatty conversational style, A Bit of Rough delivers precisely what you'd expect without twist or surprise.
The author cleverly sidesteps the potentially massive cliché traps by allowing her protagonist to claim this horny adventure is all about participating in "porn film" style sex.
If you like your erotica short, crammed with a wide variety of "try this at home" sexual positions, with a healthy dollop of tattoos throw in, then A Bit of Rough' by Lucy Felthouse is for you.

A Bit of Rough by Lucy Felthouse
Andrew “Drew” is so stuck on himself! He thinks he is god’s gift to women. Seriously? All he does is talk about is conquests and how good he is in bed. He is a real tough guy. Well Alison thinks he is full of crap but she is kind of turned on by his bad boy attitude. She is so horny that she doesn’t really care and she wants a piece of this action. Alison ends up going home with Drew and it turns out she loves his Bit of Rough. Who would have ever thought?

Alison has heard Andrew bragging about his abilities in the bar. She would normally never go for someone like that but there's just something about this particular bit of tough and she is horns as hell. Back at Andrew's place, Alison is certainly not disappointed as she is taken quite literally for the ride of her life!
A steamy short read with some of the hottest scenes to ever grace a page. Excellent work Lucy, excuse me while I attempt to cool myself down.

I was a bit annoyed by the overuse of stereotypes in this story, and overall the story came across as a bit generic, but it was well written and kept me entertained.

Simply erotica. Delicious, sexy but only if you're okay without a story line. Sometimes I am.
August 14, 2022
I don't understand why authors write these kinds of stories. 19 pages is all you get. She didn't add any hot or steamy to this. It really felt bland. Even though, the characters had a sex fest.
It's a letdown.
