Punching the V-Card Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 431 ratings

Best friend’s hot older brother? Check. A weekend alone? Check.

Finally punching that V-card? Oh yes.


Carl has a pesky “innocence” problem that requires a solution. His best friend's brother Devon is the perfect answer.

Devon’s experienced, gorgeous, and Carl’s been secretly crushing on him for ages. Carl doesn’t want to “lose it” to just anybody. Everyone says the first time should be special—and what’s more special than sharing it with the guy of his dreams?

It’s not like Devon won’t enjoy it. Solving this so-called problem is an objectively fun experience for most people! The plan is totally win/win!

Shockingly, Devon agrees. But even though it goes better than either of them ever expected, Carl’s moving across the country soon. It’s not possible to have more. No matter how much they both want it.

Right?

Punching the V-Card by Leta Blake is a is a high heat, low angst, new adult gay romance featuring a best friend’s hot older brother, scorching first times, and falling in love with the guy of your dreams.

    This is a different kind of Book that I usually read from LETA BLAKE. Devon and Carl are two young men who have the world ahead of them. I enjoyed this Book. What their weekend leads to surprised me a little. I still have to read the separate bonus gift. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!

    WOW, just WOW. To say Carl found his Dom side while losing his V-card is an understatement. The way Carl is described and how he handles situations seems to me as though he is on the autistic spectrum. He is someone that needs to be in control of situations or it throws him into a tailspin. Devon is the more experienced college boy that will be helping with his "situation". But Devon becomes submissive when he though he would be in control. This is a fast paced type love story but the connection between the two becomes a very sweet progression to more than just sex. Even though there is a lot of that steamy stuff happening!

    So, this book was super steamy, which was to be expected since it was a rather simple story about a guy, Devon, agreeing to pop his sister’s best friend’s (Carl) virginal cherry. But Carl seemed kinda flakey and manipulative, and I really didn’t like him that much. Everything seemed about him too much.

    I honestly thought this would be a story about a couple who meet, do the deed, then realize after that it was more. I was so wrong.

    This was about two very young people who felt a connection, their mate one could say, and went for it.

    Oh to be young and free again.

    Home from college for the weekend, 20 year old Devon agrees to help his younger sister’s best friend Carl get some experience before he moves to LA to pursue his dreams, but a couple of magical days with Carl is enough to have Devon questioning his future.

    This book was very short, very low angst, and very, very steamy. There’s not a lot going on plot-wise, but these guys are so fun and sweet and hot together that it ended up being a really enjoyable read. If you just need a light and fun erotic read with a bit of a D/s dynamic, definitely check this book out!

    3.5 Stars - This book wasn't what I was expecting. It is very high on heat and low on plot. I liked the characters and they were very well written. I personally prefer more storyline for my reading.

    Loved the role reversal dynamic, how the inexperienced virgin had natural dom tendencies, and the more experienced partner had submissive tendencies and they explored that together. Appreciated how it was all about consensual intimacy, but I thought it was authentically done. Really adored the orgasm denial, thought that was very hot and loved how it was reciprocal. Adored all Carl's first times, and how Devon doted on him and wanted everything to be perfect.Loved how it was about the feelings as well as the red hot chemistry. Adored this plot-driven high heat novel! Even though it was low angst and high heat, I think it was exceptionally well-written. Just because the characters aren't breaking up or their is some devastating development for one of the characters doesn't make it less of a story. Just because its high heat doesn't mean its not plot-driven, its a book about first times and Carl wants to experience all the first times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet
    Reviewed in Germany on March 11, 2022
    Punching the V-Card ist eine süße und etwas Kinky angehauchte Kurzgeschichte. Nach dem Klappentext hätte ich vermutet, dass die Geschichte aus Carls Sicht erzählt wird, aber bis auf ein Kapital verfolgt der Leser Devons Gedanken zu dem gemeinsamen Wochenende.

    Leta Blake hält sich nicht mit den üblichen Stereotypen auf, sondern spielt mit den Erwartungen des Lesers. Ich hätte mir noch ein bisschen mehr Input über die Geschehnisse nach dem Wochenende gewünscht, aber das bleibt der eigenen Phantasie überlassen, was auch in Ordnung ist.

    MM, Best friends older brother, First time, Contemporary, Romance. Easy to read, steamy love fest with low angst. So much heat along with wit and humour. I enjoyed reading their story most of which is spent with them in a horizontal position. A stand-alone read with a guaranteed HEA.

    A great novella, a sexy but fun read.
    Carl wanted to lose his virginity to the man he's secretly loved for years, his best friends brother. Devon wasn't so sure this was a good idea, Carl had always seemed distant and dodging him. The weekend is planned, it's going to happen, cum what may.

    This is one hot, steamy and surprisingly sweet quick little read. No angst, simple plot but a definite seratonin boost of a read. Very enjoyable.

    It's a clever premise. An entire story about losing your virginity. Purely character driven with no other plot and plenty of got sex. I was just missing a real connection with the characters.
