The Human Mating Site, Box Set 1 (The Human Mating Site Series) by B.L. Wilde – Review by Shea Gilkerson

The Human Mating Site Box Set 1 : A Steamy, Dating Humour Novella’s 1-4 by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a series of novellas regarding Bella and her out-of-left-field chance to rediscover herself as a newly single woman in her 30’s. The first man involved in her journey is Mr. Wimp, her philandering ex-husband who kicks off her self discovery journey. Not only did he cheat on her, but he cheated on her with someone who is virtually her clone – her name even matches! The big difference is that NEW Bella is using Mr. Wimp for his money, what a shame, huh?

This series is about Bella and the paths she takes to reclaim her life and discover who she is without her slimy ex. Her friends are hilarious and fun to read, her dates teach her things about what she is and isn’t willing to deal with in relationships, and how she grows through her new experiences. While there is spice and heat in multiple scenes, the story is really about what she learns about herself throughout her encounters.

These experiences include dates, friends with benefits, just friends after friends with benefits, and a multitude of friends and acquaintances showing up to help her through the hiccups of dating strangers at just the right times.

After Mr. Wimp, we meet Mr. Smooth, sure thing Liam who is fun, funny, charming, and a sure thing. He’s a fun start to re entering the world of being a single woman, and ends up also being great friend material. While he isn’t as sure as Bella is that they aren’t made to be together, she joins a dating site and meets Jack. He is quite the charmer and Bella is interested…despite Liam warning her that he is nothing but a heartbreaker.

Once Liam was proven right by Jack, Bella takes a girls trip. On this trip, she matches up with an absolute gorgeous specimen of a man who is dubbed “Mr. Kinky”. In addition to being nice to look at, Jensen is very up front about his kinks with Bella and gives her time to think about it before and if she’s willing to participate before he just springs it on her as a surprise. After researching, she finds she IS interested and has a spicy night with him. While it was a great night, Bella decides she can’t live his kink life full time and is back on her journey for the right one.

On to the next set!
