Sex God

Garret and Lauren from Marfa are real, humorous, loving, interesting and a great follow on to Blake and Honey's story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book laughed at Garret's sense of humor, his sexy ways and his love for Lauren made this very entertaining. I cannot believe I sat down to read and here we are 2 hours later, no dinner made, I have finished this book and am writing a review. Once again if you are prudish this is probably not for you however the rest of you will love it! Buy this book today!

Sex God started out slow. Garrett gave up his dreams to come home, run the family business, and take care of his family following his father's sudden death six years ago. Maybe it was because this was the third book in a row with a martyr-type main character, one of my least favorites, or perhaps it was the repetition of his plans to leave town as soon as he could. Whatever the reason, I had a hard time getting into the story.

However,once I did, I really liked it. Martyr complex aside, Garrett is a very likable man, and he and Lauren are perfect together. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, once they finally get together, the level of emotion between the two was unexpected in a light, sexy read. It's one of Ms. Force's strengths, so maybe I shouldn't have been so surprised. Garrett and Lauren have amazing chemistry--the sex scenes are scorching (and plentiful), and the depth of emotion is touching and quite beautiful. The conflict was predictable and telegraphed early and often. Garrett was keeping secrets, and that never goes well. The epilogue made the ending feel a bit rushed, but overall, I enjoyed Sex God.

Review copy provided for a voluntary review.

SEX GOD is the second installment in Marie Force’s contemporary adult, stand alone, erotic, romance series. This is successful businessman and CPA Garrett McKinley, and florist Lauren Davies’ story line. SEX GOD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person points of view (Lauren and Garrett) SEX GOD follows the friends to lovers relationship between Marfa, Texas’s lone florist Lauren Davies, and businessman Garrett McKinley. Six years earlier, upon the death of his father, Garrett McKinley took over the family business and made it the successful firm it is today. Garrett never wanted to remain to Marfa, Texas but for the woman he has loved for most of his life. Enter Lauren Davies, his best friend, and the woman that calls to his heart-a heart that wants to leave Marfa, Texas for bigger and better ideas.

Garrett McKinley has a reputation as a ‘sex-god’; a one night stand kind of guy who is desperately attracted to his best friend Lauren. Months earlier following a less than stellar night of sex with Lauren, the two have struggled with their friendship and love. Garrett wants a do-over with no strings attached; Lauren wants something more from the man that she loves. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters include Blake Dempsey and Honey Carmichael (Sex Machine #1), as well as Matt and Julie first introduced in Blake and Honey’s story line; police chief Brock Hernandez, and Scarlett. I am hoping for a story between Brock and Scarlett. The requisite evil is a man from Lauren’s past that is determined to prove he is still in control.

The world building continues to look at the friendships, relationships and loves of a tight knit group of friends and family in Marfa, Texas.

SEX GOD is a sexy read; a provocative and sexy story about two friends who are fated by life and love; an intimate look at friendship, life and passion. The premise is delightful; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is spicy and captivating. SEX GOD is a lighthearted and sensual story by Marie Force.

Marie Force always delivers sexy, sassy, heartfelt romances, and Sex God is another winner. This second-chance romance has all of the feels and will leave you smiling long after the last page.

Garrett and Lauren are childhood friends who have felt the sexual tension and romantic feelings steadily grow over the years. One night while inhibitions are reduced, they give into their desire and sleep together. Well, it doesn’t go so well and both are left wondering if their chemistry isn't really sexual and they should just remain friends. Luckily, it’s not too awkward between them afterwards.

Their connection is far from just physical; therefore, the lackluster sex doesn’t diminish those feelings that they have for each other. Should try again? Garrett says yes and convinces her to give them a shot. Turns out that bad night was truly a fluke, and these two discover they have NO problems being compatible in the bedroom. Their love scenes are hot.

While it might seem they have the answer to their just-friends-or-not dilemma, they have complications. Garrett has plans to leave their hometown of Marfa, Texas, while Lauren could never imagine living anywhere else. Lauren is the one thing that might keep him in this town, but their differing visions for the future could prove to be an insurmountable road block.

Sex God is a sexy, charming, fun and entertaining friends-to-lovers romance. Garrett and Lauren have incredible chemistry (when they get it right) and are truly endearing together. There’s lots of witty banter and verbal flirtation that will keep the reader laughing, and there is a great cast of secondary characters that add to the comedic moments. If you love a heartfelt, hilarious love story with characters you wish you could be friends with in real life, you’ll love Sex God. I can’t wait to see what Marie Force writes next!

ARC provided, but this review was voluntarily and honestly written.

Garrett McKinley and Lauren Davies have been friends since the sixth grade. They have always been there for each other despite the fact they were never truly honest about their feelings. She suffered through a bad marriage and divorce, but has her roots firmly planted. He also ended up stuck in their hometown of Marfa, Texas taking care of his family and family business instead of conquering the larger corporate world outside of their small town. He relieves his sexual tension by one night stands with rotating tourists and maintains a Sex God status. But the one time he and Lauren got a bit tipsy and tried to get physical, it went all wrong.

But Garrett is making plans to leave Marfa now that he has met his responsibilities with his family. But one loose end is Lauren, who now feels like she did something wrong or that she is not desirable. So he manages to convince her to give him a chance to at least prove that their previous disaster was just a fluke so she will not continue to harbor insecurities about it. What can go wrong with a little dating, wooing, and sexy times?

They really are great friends who always loved each other. But once they really explore heir chemistry at the right time, it virtually explodes. The previously known Sex God had never even had it that good. They are raw, insatiable, and it was enhanced by their connection and feelings.

But Garrett is keeping a secret and he's got a big decision to make. He was looking to finally get out and follow his dreams. but now with his changing status with Lauren, his ties to Marfa just increased. And the longer he lies about it, the harder it will be to explain. Can he have both the girl of his dreams and the career he has always wanted? Or will he have to sacrifice again to make those he cares about happy?

This was an engaging, sweet, funny, hot, and not too angsty friends-to-lovers story. Their friends in Marfa are fun, quirky, and supportive. I enjoyed their relationships and banter. I did not read Sex Machine, but Honey and Blake, Matt and Julie, Scarlett and Brock all make appearances. Also a new man, Jace, is introduced that has hero potential. It was told in dual points of view and the the main couple was completely likable. Garrett was alpha, sweet, sexy, unfiltered, and so funny. And Lauren was caring, sassy, cautious, strong, and had a big heart. I adored them together, and the fast-paced story sucked me right into this small town world with their friends and family.

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sex God by Marie Force takes the friends-to-lovers plot and spins it on its axis. The hero and heroine are best friends, but the timing has never been right. So when they finally do find the right moment? The sex goes unbelievably wrong. What? Yes, that’s what I said. This so-called sex god is determined to turn that all around. It’s so on!

Garrett isn’t happy with his life in Marfa, Texas. After the sudden death of his father, he had to take over the business and be there for his family. He’s resented it. Until the time comes when he can cut ties, he works hard at life and sex. He’s earned himself a reputation—Sex God. So, how is it that the one time the sex meant the most—with his best friend and long-time crush—it turned out so horribly?

Lauren recently got out of a bad marriage, and somehow she ends up in her best friend’s bed. But things go south rather quickly, and she decides that perhaps they are better off as friends. But when she admits to Garrett that she thinks she’s bad at sex? It won’t stand with the “Sex God” who’s determined to prove her wrong. Only when attachments come into play, Garrett doesn't know if he can give up his dreams.

This book was like the launching of a rocket. There’s the initial setup and making sure every thing’s ready to go before the countdown ticks to the final blast off. I flew through this book! Lauren is sweet and shy, but she shows remarkable courage after her previous marriage. And Garrett—though he has a reputation for being a “Sex God”—isn’t all about himself. He’s not cocky, and it could have easily gone in that direction. Instead, Garrett is just as sweet while having the confidence that Lauren needs after her self-esteem takes hit after hit. I’m so used to seeing sex in books as the “blow-your-mind” variety, and this simple distinction—the sex not being the best—makes this book so different and fresh.

As you would expect from the title, there are A LOT of sexy scenes, and it blazes! I mean, gosh, dude’s rep is earned!Sex God was laugh-out-loud fun with smoking hot sex and a plot that kept me reading until late into the night. Any fan of the friends-to-lovers plot who wants additional steam should definitely give this one a try.

4.5 Challenge-the-Sex-God stars!

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book, Sex God by Marie Force.

The amazingly talented Marie has outdone herself once again! I honestly don't think she could write anything bad if she tried.
The first book of hers I read was Georgia On My Mind and I loved it. Then I found Maid for Love, read it and I was hooked for life! I get so excited when one of Marie's Gansett Island series or Green Mountain/Butler Vermont series comes out. If you have not read them, I highly recommend that you do!
Sex God is actually book #2 about a group of close friends that grew up together and live in Marfa, Texas. Book #1 is Sex Machine. I can't wait to read it next! Luckily, they are standalones so it doesn't matter that I read #2 first.
Garrett was in college and happily planning his future when his whole world shattered. His father died, leaving Garrett to take over the family business and the full time responsibility of caring for his mother and younger siblings. All of his dreams and hopes washed down the drain. No more big plans of working for a hugely successful company anywhere outside of Marfa. The one bright spot of being in Marfa was spending time with his best friend, Lauren. He had known her all his life and they had been close since elementary school.
Lauren had not had an easy life so far but having Garrett as her best friend had made it all bearable. She had almost lost him though thanks to drunken foolishness 6 months prior, when they ended up in bed together and it went horribly wrong.
But now, Garrett wants a do over and Lauren is terrified it will destroy their beautiful friendship.
Can Garrett convince Lauren to give him a second chance to show her how perfect they can be in bed together? And if it turns out like last time will it make things too awkward to hangout anymore? And Garrett has never given up on his dreams of leaving Marfa. What does that mean for Lauren?

Sex God by Marie Force was just amazing!!! Garrett is my new book boyfriend that is for sure!!! I loved everything about him. He is known as the Sex God. He will give you the time of your life behind closed doors. Living in such a small town, he tries to stay away from the drama and gossip. But every one knows what he is famous for. Even though he is a ladies man, he has his eyes set on only one girl since they were kids. His Lo!

Lauren had a very hard life growing up. She is grateful that she always had her band of friends that help her through. She married the wrong man and since the divorce she has been on a dry spell. She is pouring her heart out to Garrett and he is willing to right a wrong they both made 6 months before. Lauren is ready to take the challenge and wowza! These two are hot and insatiable together. I have read many books with characters that show they have amazing chemistry. But these two have the friendship, the trust, compatibility, and love like no other. They are great! Their time together was only to last a week. Just after a couple of days together, they know it needs to be more. That puts a dent on Garrett's plan to move on up in his career. Will he make a decision to stay, or will he follow a dream that died a few years back?

Sex God was not only sexy and hot, you will laugh and cry with the characters. You love them hard too. Marie Force did great when she wrote Sex Machine, and did it again with Sex God. Your emotions get all twisted up. I loved this book and recommend it whole heartily!

This is definitely a friends to lovers book.

Garrett McKinley and Lauren Davies have been best friends since 6th grade. They talk about anything and everything (except a secret dream that Garrett is keeping buried).

When Garrett's father dies unexpectedly, he comes home to run the Accounting Firm and take care of his mother and siblings. This was not his dream, but he does it without complaint.

Garrett and Lauren have strong ties to their hometown of Marfa.

One drunken night Garrett and Lauren decided to take things to the next step. It turns out to be a disaster.

This encounter does not in any way get in the way of their friendship, they go on being friends.

Years later Garrett has gotten his father's accounting firm built up and plans to leave Marfa for a job he has always secretly wanted in a bigger town then Marfa. Before he is getting ready to go on this much anticipated interview, he wants to see what would happen if he wooed Lauren.

Garrett talks Lauren into letting him slowly seduce her and she agrees. What Garrett doesn't take into account is that he may not be able to leave his heart in Marfa. Also, he is a man, so he is undoubtedly going to do something stupid. Can he leave Marfa and everything behind and can he earn back trust that he loses along the way?

I did so enjoy the banter and the romance in this book. I found it charming, yet sexy and fun. I definitely plan to continue on with books written by Marie Force.

NOTE: I have given this book 4 stars, but I think had I realized there was a book prior to this, it might have gotten a higher star rating, because I felt like there was a background that I was missing and I have no one to blame but myself for not realizing there was a book that came before this. Although it can be read as a stand alone, I'm one of those people who absolutely has to read books in order.

4 stars

"You deserve so much better than what you got from me. I think you are..."
"What? What am I?"
"You're everything."

Marie Force has done it once again!!!

Garrett and Lauren are the epitome of second chance romance mixed in with friends-to-lovers.
They have the best way of showing what "perfect timing" means!

Being friends since they were kids, they had always been around each other.
But they have hid their feelings for way too long. Between tragedies and horrible past relationships, they are finally seeing who has been there all along...each other.

"We've wasted so much time."
"No. We were busy getting to a place where we were ready for this."

This book highlights many aspects of friendship and love.

I swooned as much as I soared with every word written. It made me think of my own relationship and being married to my best friend who I met in middle school.

"Seriously, Lo. I'm ready for you, for us, for this. I love you so much. I always have, but now..."
"Now it's so much more."

I couldn't get enough of these two!!
Not to mention the other charcters along the way.

I can't wait for more of this series, but I will miss these two!!
I have such a soft spot for friends-to-lovers tales<3

Wonderful read!!

"Life is good and getting better all the time--and it's all because of Lauren, the girl I fell in love with in sixth grade."

Sex God
By: Marie Force

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Star Review by Kristie K

Marie Force delivers another sexy read, perfect for lovers of her playful and flirty style…

Sex God takes us back to Marfa, TX where we are reunited with old friends from last years Sex Machine. Garrett McKinley and Lauren Davies have been friends for years, best friends. They’ve experienced so much together, but the one night they let their mutual attraction guide them and “go there”…the train was derailed. As Garrett plans to finally get out of Marfa after fulfilling his familial obligations, he refuses to leave any unfinished business behind…including the disastrous night with Lauren.

A friends to lovers romance, Ms. Force delves into the life and escapades of the man dubbed as the Sex God by the many satisfied women passing through Marfa, TX. Sticking to the self-replenishing supply of tourists stopping in, Garrett thinks he has kept his “reputation” quiet. Little does he know that ALL of his friends have heard the rumors, including his best friend, and attempted lover, Lauren. When they strike up a deal to try again, Garrett is determined this time will be different. As his plan plays out, you get to see the depth and gravity of both Garrett and Lauren’s feelings for one another. Ms. Force has successfully woven a sexy, playful, and touching tale in a well-used genre. With a strong plot, and storyline, Sex God is a fun and enjoyable read, with plenty of heart and heat.

Kristie K

Another amazing book by Marie Force. I am quickly starting to realize that Ms Force can write a phone book and I would read it. Her writing in Sex God was flawless!

Sex God is Lauren and Garrett's story. This book can be read as a standalone but I would really recommend reading Sex Machine first. Both characters are introduced in that book and you also get to see what our favorite character's Honey and Blake have been up to Sex God.

Lauren and Garrett have been best-friends since the 6th grade and have always been each other go to person. After Lauren's divorce from her abusive jerk of an ex Wayne a couple of years ago Garrett makes it a point to really be there for her in every way. After a hook-up between these 2 gone wrong they decide to give it another try but little does these two know just how explosive they can be together. The only problem is Garrett is wanting to get out of the little town of Marfa Texas after his youngest sister finally graduates high school so that he can get on with the life he had planned before his father's death when graduated college years ago.

"I love you so ...much. Every beat of my heart is for you- only you-and it always has been. No one will ever love you the way I do."

So... yes Sex God is a MUST Summer read that will have you all hot and bother by more than just the summer heat. The chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS HOT. Go 1-click NOW you won't be disappointed and you can Thank me later. :-)

4 Stars!

Marie Force brings us another scorching, romantic read!

Garrett and Lauren have been friends since sixth grade and there has always been a simmering attraction between them. Despite that attraction, they have remained best friends and nothing more because of various things in their lives. One night, six months ago, they took it to the next level and it went horribly wrong. Lauren thinks it was her and Garrett thinks it was him. So, Garrett decides he is going to give it one more shot to prove to her that she is not to blame and that she is more than good in bed.

Can you say trainwreck in progress? Holy cow. Garrett is a human train wreck. He is sexy and says all the right things, but the guy is so far in his own head all he sees is pitch black.

This book moves fast, not in length but in story progression. I mean at the speed of light. Things start off at a slow simmer and come to a boil faster than you can say sex god. It doesn’t deter from the story in any way and we get Marie Force’s trademark scorching, hot sexy times. You will see the twist coming from the first chapter, but I kind of liked that. I was reading with baited breath to see how it all played out.

Don’t deny yourself a sex god. Grab this book today!

(I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review)

Oh how I love a good friends to lovers romance - and this was a WONDERFUL one! Garrett and Lauren's friendship was so strong and it was easy to see why they would want to transition to a little something something more. While I'm not generally a fan of the whole "the male lead is a manwhore until he discovers the one" trope, I couldn't help but love Garrett and his steadfast loyalty to Lauren and his family. And it was super easy to relate to Lauren and her insecurities after suffering through a difficult marriage and divorce and a disastrous attempt at intimacy with Garrett. Their chemistry was palpable and it was so satisfying to see them finally work it out. The book also had the perfect amount of angst as we waited to see how the swiftly morphing relationship between Garrett and Lauren affected his decisions in regards to his goals and future. This was my first Marie Force book, but now that I've read Sex God and got a glimpse of the couples from Sex Machine, I'm definitely going to go back and read Sex Machine (which I scooped up for .99 cents on the store)! I gave Sex God 4 out of 5 stars and I definitely see this as a book I'll re-read over and over again!

I loved how the story began--Garrett and Lauren have been friends since the sixth grade, and close friends since adulthood. They tried--and spectacularly failed--to take things to the next level six months earlier, and Garrett, the legendary-but-secret (he thinks, since he only sleeps with tourists...you'd think he'd know better, living in a small town all of his life) "sex god" of Marfa, Texas is obsessed with his one and only fail between the sheets and determined to make it all better. So he devises a plan...

...which Lauren does her best to derail, with an assist from Garrett's (ahem) other brain. (OMG, the talking-tos he had with that organ. And when it talked back? I'm pretty sure there was some snort-laughing going on over here.) What follows is all of the sexy, and most of the sweet, and an HEA it's easy to get behind. True, just about every source of conflict here is due to Garrett's being an idiot who's slow to recognize what he really wants and needs, but fortunately he's a quick learner and even better groveler.

Oh, and the sex god bit doesn't hurt either.

Rating: 4 stars / A-

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Marie Force has created another fantastic stand alone book, set in the small town of Marfa, Texas. Sex God is a sweet, yet sexy read that draws you in from the start and does not let go. Marie continues to be a talented author and has made me fall more in lobe with each of the characters she has created.

Six years ago, the life Garret's life was turned upside down, when his father unexpectedly died. Instead of going to a Fortune 500 company, or becoming a CFO for a major corporation, he came home to run his father's company. He was needed to help his mother and his siblings. His one goal was to set them up for life, so they wouldn't need him anymore. Then he can go back to his dreams.

Garret takes his responsibly seriously and for the most part has kept his private life to himself. Now that his youngest sister is graduating, his plans are to sell his company and leave. But there is just one thing he has to do before he can go. He has to figure out how to tie the loose end with his best friend Lauren.

As I read this book, I fell in love with the entire town of Marfa. I certainly hope there will be more fom this small town in the future!

It all started when they where in the sixth grade. But do you tempt fate from being friends to be romantically involved? Marie Force's Sex God has you rooting for Garrett and Lauren to be more than friends. This hot and steamy read from Marfa, Texas will get your heart racing.

Since the passing of Garrett's father, everything was placed on Garrett's shoulders. His dreams and aspirations were put on hold to take care of his mother and sisters. All he ever wanted to do was get out of his hometown in Marfa. But with being home he put his degree to work as the town CPA and made a name for himself. Garrett gave himself a time frame for leaving town but he didn't account for his relationship with Lauren. With being childhood friends they knew each other so well. But when they become romantically involved, Garrett's dreams are of Lauren. Lauren's chemistry with Garrett are extremely erotic and hot. They become one.

Having a solid lifelong friendship turned into a romantic relationship. Garrett has his work cut out for him when he should have communicated with Lauren.

4 stars
Received arc for an honest review

I enjoyed reading about this book a lot. The story was fresh, fun, sexy and romantic. Garrett was a lovely character, and see how his old dreams became new ones was pretty amazing. He always loved Lauren, and he felt responsible for some things in their past. And he was a fixer, he has this need to mend the damages, to make sure everyone is fine, so it was a weight over his shoulders. Lauren was an amazing character too. She suffered a lot, she was the victim in aggresive relationship and she worked very hard to became in the strong woman she's now. Aknowledge her feelings about Garrett wasn't easy for her, but he makes her feel safe. They were friends after all, right?

The intensity of the feelings, the sensuality in the narration, the burning-hot sex scenes and the development of the romantic relationship between the main characters turned this book in something special. Marie Force is a great storyteller, and with this Sex God she won a special place in my bookshelf. Highly recomended for all those romance readers. You'll have a great time.

Garrett and Lauren are funny to me because they are both clueless that they are attracted to each other. Everyone in their respective families know they love each other and belong together but they have no clue that they belong together. Bless their hearts, it's like they're clueless. I kept waiting on the Law and Order theme to break through because it's just so classic. Garrett hates where he's at in his life. He hates that when his dad died, he took over his dad's business and gave up his dreams and his older brother is out in Cali just doing what he wants. He lives in Marfa, Tx which is in the middle of nowhere Texas. He just wants out and his best friend loves where she lives. She has a business and she's hometown. What follows is some angst, some misunderstanding, and some friendship. Buy the book and read it if you love Marie Force.

I was provided an ARC copy by the publisher/author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions stated above are my own and no one else's.

I love best friend to lovers romances and Marie Force knocks this one out of the park.

If you read Sex Machine, there's little doubt that Blake won your heart. In Sex God, Garrett will steal it away.

Garrett is as swoony as a hero can get. He's sweet, loving, protective, and definitely lives up to his name in the bedroom. His charm and sex appeal are off the charts. Not only that, but he's genuinely a good guy and one of the most dependable you'll meet.

Lauren has been through more issues than anyone her age should have to go through. She's stronger and tougher now, but she still has this vulnerable side that longs for someone to come to bat for her. It's always been Garrett.

Get lost in this fast-paced love story that will keep you entertained from cover to cover. And the peak into Blake's and Honey’s lives is icing on the cake. Five-star read!

Marie Force is a versatile author. She can write gritty, she can write, light-hearted, she can write gut-wrenching. She can write pretty much anything. And what's she's done with Sex God is offer an entirely different facet to her author-ness. Sex God is int he vein of one of my favorite tropes: friends-to-lovers. Garrett and Lauren have an easy and enviable relationship from the get-go that gets a little more complicated when they throw romance into the mix. Well, complicated at first. The second go around the complications give way to insanely passionate moments, and hilarious one-liners that had me giggling.

This book has it all. Emotions, sexual tension, unbelievable chemistry, hilarity, and a dose of reality that brings Garrett and Lauren to life within the pages. A true must-read for me!

Happy Reading!
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*

I loved this story! Garrett and Lauren are fabulous characters and it doesn't hurt that I work at a flower shop
I loved their interaction. How they were the best of friends, had tried something more, but it just didn't work out..how they were able to go back to being themselves and great friends...
The writing was fabulous. The emotion was great. The characters are so fun, enjoyable, and sexy.
This is definitely a great story to get your "Marie Force" on... Especially if you've heard about her but feel daunted in starting a huge series.
this was a great story, great second chance at a relationship, and a super story of best friends to lovers. Even amidst the misunderstandings, the changes in their relationship and the way they interact with their friends...

Lauren and Garrett have been friends since grade school. They finally hook up after years of harboring romantic feelings and building sexual tension. It didn’t go as planned. It was a total fail. How can this be happening to Garrett? After all, he is Marfa, TX very own legendary Sex God. They decide to give it another chance and the second time around is explosive. Will secrets get in the way of being together?

This second chance friends-to-lovers romance was hot and sweet. I didn’t read Sex Machine (Book #1), and I didn’t feel lost at any time while reading Sex God (Book #2). This book is a true standalone. After reading Sex God, I think I’m going to read Sex Machine. I liked all of the secondary characters and wanted more of this small town love fest.

Holy hotness, batman! I thought Sex Machine was awesome, but Sex God is edging it out. lol. And, don't let the title scare you away, it might not be what you're thinking.
There is a lot of emotion in this book, but it's fairly low on the angst which is one of the reasons I love it. A friend's to lovers romance can be really frustrating, especially with the tug of war. Yet, somehow Marie makes it work! I loved Garrett and Lauren and their relationship was special as a friendship, but it's spectacular when it becomes more.
This is a quick read and totally worth it! Marie is a fantastic storyteller. Her characters are engaging, the story is carefully thought out and well written.
I do recommend reading Sex machine first.

A fun, playful sexy entertaining read!!!! Marie Force sizzles up the pages as she brings forth another wildly hot read in Sex God. Seriously, who doesn’t love a friends to lovers story line. I know I am complete sucker for them. And to witness what Garrett and Lauren had for each other, I was sold. Their friendship is what made this book so much endearing as they tried hard not to blur the lines so their friendship could remain intact but with feelings like a volcano waiting to erupt, it was only a matter of time till their friendship and passion collided. So if you are looking for one hot read that was playful, emotional and downright steamy then I would recommend you to read this book now.

I found this book very sweet, def steamy, but sweet above all..I don't know, there was this underlying feeling.
A small town romance between two best friends, Garrett and Lauren..they have been dancing around each others for years, but the time was never right, now tho it's the perfect time to explore..but both have a past that weighs heavily on them for different reasons..
It started out as fun then turned into serious territory..but always with funny banter and real chemistry.
What I loved the most was that , no matter the past, it was low on drama between them..their relationship was very easy.
I loved both Garrett and Lauren..and they were just beautiful together.

Fantastic!!! Marie has done it again. I was so invested in Garrett and Lauren's story that I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning because I couldn't stop reading. The story was realistic and entertaining with well develop main characters. Who better to fall in love with than your best friend. Garrett turned me on and made me sad. As the oldest child I could related to Garret's feeling about feeling trapped in his duties to his family. Lauren was grave and didn't let her past over shadow her future with Garrett. For me the perfect book makes me laugh out loud, makes me cry, and is hot hot hot Sex God did all three. Bravo Marie!! I want more stories for the remaining friends.

Loved the characters in this book. I love 's. Force's writing style, through reading a few of her other series, but the steam level in this book is way above what I'm used to from her. That said I love knowing that she has a talent for writing the freakiest stuff too. All around it was an excellent read. Ps.. this was an ARC but it's not the only book I own of hers.I own through buying 3 other full series and Sex Machine also. I continue to buy her books for as long as she writes them because she is an excellent writer. Her books aren't simply about the debut about the characters ,where they live and the people around them. Ms. Force writes so well that,she's able to make you feel as if your right there next to her characters

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book, Sex God by Marie Force.

Another winner from Marie Force! Sex God was a sweet, sexy read with well developed characters and story line. Marie has the wonderful talent of drawing you in to her stories and giving you the feeling you are right there with her characters, falling in love with them, their story, their friends and their surroundings. I loved traveling back to Marfa, TX with Garrett and Lauren, who have been life long friends to lovers in their second chance at romance after a "failed" first attempt. No spoilers here, just another great read you don't want to miss from Marie!

Garrett McKinley and Lauren Davies have been friends since they were in the 6th grade and know each other so well that they can finish each others sentences and not even notice. They live in a small town where everybody knows it's just a matter of time before they get together, well everybody but them...LOL!

Lauren believes she sucks in bed and the fact that the one time her and Garrett, who is known for being the Sex God, tried to get together was horrible didn't help. Garrett's mission is to prove her wrong without destroying their friendship.

This is a friends to lovers story line that you can't help but fall in love with.

Sex God by Marie Force is a stand-alone contemporary romance novel.
Sex God is the follow up to Sex Machine.

While Sex Machine was Blake and Honey's book, Sex God is Garrett and Lauren's story.
Garrett is not content with his life. He bides his time and believes he's destinated for other things.
And there is his best friend....
I greatly enjoyed reading Sex God.
In Sex God you'll meet old friends from Sex Machine and that I loved too.
Sex God is a witty, fun read and I was well entertained.
4,5 Stars and Thank you Marie Force!

SEX GOD was that scrumptious morsel of a bite! Leaving your taste buds going wild and yearning for a SEX GOD of your own!
This sexy friend to lovers romance was just a divine power house! I mean it had everything you needed to keep my mind and body loving this read! Plus that sizzle factor was sky high off the charts! Which was a total bonus!!! A total WIN WIN!!!

Is this book panty metling hot? Absolutely! This story is also so full of heart. Garrett and Lauren have been in each others lives forever but can't seem to connect in the way they both would like to most. I enjoyed the connection to characters from a previous book even though this could easily be read as a standalone. Following these two as they both try to get over hurt and struggles from thier past holding them back makes for a fabulous story!

I will read anything Marie Force writes so was thrilled to get an advanced copy of the book to read. I enjoyed Garett and Lauren’s story as well as the return to Marfa, Texas. I did think the pacing of this book was a little slow. The reader learns the characters’ background stories through Garrett’s thoughts instead of through conversations among the characters. For me, this slowed down the action. But once Garrett and Lauren hooked up again, the book was vintage Force.

I recommend reading Sex God, but if it this first time you read a Marie Force book, start with a different one.

Garrett McKinley and Lauren Davies have been friends forever and live in the same small town in Texas. Through their friendship and heartache it starts an improbable romance that is so sweet and sexy and you will never forget.

This is the second book following Sex Machine and could be read as a stand alone. This book is irresistible and you will have a lot of fun reading Garret and Lauren's story.

I loved this story. Friends becoming lovers can be risky but these two finally got their act together. This is such a fun read, sweet but hot and sexy. I love a good romance but adding a lot of laugh out loud humor makes it the even better. I really liked Lauren and Garrett from the very start of this story and couldn’t put it down. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
