When Phoebe and Oliver had their happy ending, they thought the hard part was over. And now, with a five year old daughter, they are far from the blissful hedonistic lifestyle of when they first started dating.

Not one for giving up, Phoebe creates a sexy wishlist: a jar where they can ask the other for anything they've ever wanted in bed - or out of it. But with distractions aplenty, will they be able to relight the fire in the bedroom?

From mix tapes to 'sex jars', this is the naughtiest rom com you will ever read. From the bestselling author of The List.

Review
Relight My Fire is the follow-on novel to Joanna Bolouri’s hit debut The List from 2014, but don’t worry this is a great story even if you’re reading it as a standalone.

It’s five years on and Phoebe and Oliver are living together with their adorable daughter Molly. Things in the bedroom department have slowed right down and Phoebe’s had enough, she drags Oliver to her old therapist Pam Potter to help put the spark back in their sex life. They then embark on another sexual voyage of discoveries as the Sex Jar is introduced into their relationship. This brings plenty of fun and crazy situations but also means Phoebe must deal with some very strong emotions. When they’re done will the fire be back roaring, or will it have gone out completely?

Told from Phoebe’s perspective through her diary we get to learn a great deal about Phoebe and how she views the world. I find her a very endearing character because despite the blunt and sometimes rude exterior on the inside she’s a bundle of insecurities just like the rest of us. I just loved how she was so concerned about not messing up being a mum for Molly, the love she has for that little girl oozes of every page and that was one of the highlights of this book for me.

If your looking a similar book to The List with as mammoth amount of laugh out loud crazy sexual exploits then you might be a little disappointed, Relight My Fire although still being very funny has not near the amount of sexual content and its not as “out-there”. This book does give a much deeper insight into Phoebe and Oliver’s relationship and I really enjoyed that aspect of the book. I also loved the additional storylines in this book which added more depth to Phoebe’s life and the book.

Overall, I found this a great book full of funny moments which left me with a massive grin on my face. Well done Ms. Bolouri for another fantastic read, I can’t wait for your next book.

Thank you to Quercus for sending me a copy to review and for inviting me to be part of the blog tour.
