Great debut novel
A great hot sexy book about one of the Walk Shame strip club workers by Victoria Ashley. She has created two very charismatic characters and the first chapter draws you in.... Wow that scene is hot!!!Slade is a troubled man who numbs his pain with sexy and alcohol, he has a body worth flaunting and he does that well, but never ever returns to a woman after one night.Aspen is a woman seeking some space and needing to deciding what she wants so goes to stop with her friend Cale, Slade's house mate. This is where the fun and games begin of refusing to give in to temptation and what happens when you let someone in...I won't spoil your reading, but this book is fast paced, well written and full of heat.

Loved it
This short novella really packs a sexy punch!I love Slade, Cale and Hemy and I want them all to dance for me please.For a short novella this book has a lovely story.Slade is a damaged and tortured man he uses sex to numb the past hurt, he cannot feel it’s just too painful for him, drink and meaningless sex are what gets him through the day, that is until Aspen walks into his life.Aspen isn’t like all the other women Slade is used too, she doesn’t fall at his feet she’s feisty. Slade shouldn’t want her, Aspen shouldn’t want him , but they have a pull towards each other.Slade and Aspen practically combust when together, they are sexy hot, melt into a puddle hot.When Slade reveals the reason why he acts the way he does my heart strings pulled so tight I wanted to hug him right along with Aspen, then when Aspens secret is revealed I wanted to slap he silly, I was thinking hasn’t he been hurt enough.I loved this story it was a wonderful bit of escapism, well written with great main characters and really good secondary characters that I cannot wait to read more from.

Not bad
This book was ok. It had potential to ge better, but I got fed up after a while of both their attitudes; her hating, but not hating him, and him thinking he was all that.

Fantastic book !!!!!!!!
Oh my I totally loved this book. This has been sitting on my kindle for ages, I just happened to flick through and thought I'll give that a read. I am so glad I did. Very well written, passionate and a lovely lovely story of a bad boy come good with a tragic past. God I love Slade. He is bad, tattoed, sexy, dirty, rude and hot as hell. You'll be clenching your thighs together at the hot sex scene's. He on destruction mode, he drinks too much, smokes too much and has way too many women, he's like a robot with Duracell batteries in. Along comes Aspen, vunerable and on a break, coming home for a few weeks to catch up with friends. The attraction is instant, but both are broken in their own ways and they don't know how to deal with these feelings.This book is a must read, their are 3 in the series "The Walk Of Shame". I am just about to start Hemy which is the second and Cale is the third. Fantastic

Smut-tastic!
This is my first Victoria Ashley book and I really enjoyed it, although it wont be everyone's cup of tea.It is a smutty, hedonistic, slightly perverse and (a little bit) heart-wrenching tale of a guy called Slade and a girl called Aspen.Slade works in a strip bar and will bang any female that moves, but only once.Aspen has run to her life-long friend (Slade's room-mate) as her relationship hit the skids.Aspen most definitely wasn't looking for any kind of romantic entanglement, never mind an entanglement with a guy like Slade. But! The entanglement and attachment happens and I'm sure you can imagine the shenanigans and heartbreaks that occur as a result.I found Slade's manwhoreishness to be a lot to handle while reading this book, and I like to think I can handle a lot. I wanted to beat him over the head with a blunt object at various points throughout the - fairly short - book, but I loved watching him fall, loved learning about his heartbreaking past and how he became the person he is, watching him come back to life and want to reach for something meaningful again.Of course, when he reaches for that something meaningful Aspen's past chucks a spanner in the works and makes me want to clobber her over the nut with a blunt object so, it was a book of emotional ups and downs.The book ends with a nice enough happy for now, but I would have liked an epilogue or something to see of they stand the test of time as I'm not 100% convinced they will, which sucked just a little bit. I like to know the characters I've invested time and emotion in are happy. (Yes, yes, I know they aren't real...)Maybe we'll get to see some more of them in future Walk Of Shame books and that will alleviate my concerns?Anyway, the writing was good, the characters (main and secondary) were certainly interesting and engaging and if you are not adverse to a good amount of smut, give it a go! I'll certainly be picking up the next in the series.

Definate Panty Twister - Klaire's Kollection
Oh My Word.....what can I say? Hot Damn!! This was dirty, dirty good, dirty bad and thoroughly enjoyable. I wasn't expecting much, thought I was going to get pages upon pages of smut but it was not that at all. There's a really good story in here along with some smoking hot action. I loved the scene in the rain, and it's certainly true that there is a thin line between love and hate. Slade had my panties in all kinds of twists I have to say...but my heart broke a bit for both him and Aspen, good solid characters. Neither of them looking for what they eventually found, quite content to live their lives as they were doing until they collided with each other. I'm looking forward to reading about Hemy but I hope there is a substantial story there too....this might be hard to top! Fab...recommend it highly.5/5 for me :)

Muito sexo e pouca história (dependendo do que vc quer, isso é ótimo ou ruim)
O livro é bem escrito, tem muitas cenas de sexo e são bem escritas, mas a história inteira gira apenas em torno dos personagens principais. Não tem muita história, tem muito sexo e paixão. Dependendo do que o leitor procura, esse livro pode ser cinco estrelas ou apenas uma. De qq forma ele é pequeno e tem fim (a continuação da série será sobre outro personagem mencionado nesse livro) então eu aconselho.

Slade (Walk of Shame #1), by Victoria Ashley
Slade is addicted to sex, the novella is just as addictive to read. This is a compelling read and wonderfully written by a talented author. This novella has it all, steamy erotica, intriguing characters and a strong storyline. The characters are fully developed and Slade is a compelling main character. Once he meets Ashley, a reader can't wait to know even more of their back stories. I highly recommend Slade (Walk Of Shame #1) and am eagerly awaiting the release of more in the series; Hemy (Walk Of Shame #2), Cale (Walk Of Shame #3).

5 fantastic, hot & sexy stars!
I can't even contain myself right now from all the feels, mostly excitement cause that Slade... OMFG to the max. Damn that man is hot! And if you can't get enough of his body, wait until he opens his mouth, he'll have you begging for it and get you there without even touching you. He's that good! He is the ultimate playboy, in the best way. Idk how I could even make sense now, I'm a little flustered. I finished it last night and today I'm still freaking out. This man is sex-on-a-stick and so delicious you want to lick him up... everywhere. And that's just his body, the things he can do with the English language is beyond erotic, beyond anything I could even explain. The man is unbelievably hot!Victoria Ashley just got on my automatic reading list, if the woman publishes a book I'm reading it, no questions asked.This book is the sexiest, most erotic book I've read.Okay, onto the story. Slade is an erotic dancer at a club where he meets Aspen. He's teasing her because he wants in her pants, then he finds out that she is the new temporary roommate, even more of a challenge for him. He has to have her, but he has rules; you only get to ride the Slade train once and if you agree, you are in for the best night of your life, guaranteed. Oh he'll show you a good time alright, for a price, it's only once and What. A. Shame. Cause after being with Slade you're ruined for every other guy, and that's exactly how he likes it; being every woman's fantasy.Aspen is staying with her friend Cale for a week, she needs to get away from her life and take a breather. When she comes to Cale's place of work which is a club/male strip club she sees Slade paying extra attention to her. It makes her uncomfortable, she's disgusted with him dancing half naked with women drooling over him. She tried do hard to keep her legs closed but Slade is too good at getting women to bed him, he knows their weaknesses and can talk so dirty it turns you on. But he's a male slut and she's not interested in being one of his conquests. But when she can't fight him or her treacherous body any longer, she gives in and she hates it. He seems to know what she needs and he wants to give it to her, but when his jealousy gets in the way, he finds that he might want to break his rules for her and be with her again.My favorite parts are when Aspen tries to fight against her lust for for Slade. He wants her and will stop at nothing to get her. He teases her so much with words and with actions. He gave her a striptease in front of the whole club that was unmistakably the hottest thing I've ever read. His view was that she needed to see hoe excited she made him feel, but it only embarrassed her to no end. Slade likes that she won't give in, he likes a challenge, he's convinced that he's going to get her and can't wait. He's the talk of the town, he's been with many women and they don't skimp on the details of how good he is.When these two find out each others secrets, it is a ground breaking explosion. It is an earth shattering experience for both of them to learn their secrets. Their stories are heartbreaking and difficult, Slade's more so but Aspen's story is also sad. They have a lot to work through as they learn their feelings for each other and as they develop. Their relationship(if you can call it that) was rough, impulsive, explosive, and very satisfying. As we learn their secrets we see them as differently as they see each other, their vulnerable sides are exposed and so are their hearts. But with their heart on their sleeves, someone is bound to get hurt, but who would it be? And can they go back to living their lives as if they didn't know each other or will their lives never be the same?The other characters were really great as well, no annoying best friends in this book. Cale was Slade's roommate and Aspen's sister's best friend from childhood. Cale was really nice to Aspen in letting her stay with him for a week to get her head straight. He was an equally good friend to Slade, they worked together and lived together and he was there when Slade needed someone. Cale was supportive and protective of his friends, not mention hot. So is Hemy, who is also a sex machine, haha. Aspen has the hots for Hemy as well but Slade won't have that, he wants her all to himself even before he was with her. I'm so glad that Hemy and Cale are getting their own books, I can't wait to read them. There's a sneak peak at Hemy's story and it sounds so good.I could not get enough of this book! The feels were overwhelming and my pulse was on overdrive. What an exciting read, I didn't want it to end, this did not feel like a novella at all. So much happened, yet it leaves you wanting more, much more. I haven't read anything like it, simply spectacular!

Adictiva
Una historia muy bonita, adictiva, muy caliente y eso sí, no apta para según qué sensibilidades. El contenido sexual y el vocabulario son muy explícitos, pero vamos, es algo evidente. No creo que nadie se lleve una sorpresa.Yo la recomiendo. De entrada, me ha dejado con ganas de leer el resto de la serie.
