This little novelette was extremely short, and read more like a deleted scene. It easily could have been a prologue or even the first few pages of the first chapter of Gentlemen Prefer Succubi. It's not really essential information, since we get the gist of it in the first book, since Jackie remembers little snippets. This just gives (almost) all of the details. Not exactly worth reading, but not a total waste of time either.

This is a really good introduction to the Succubus Diaries. I haven't read anything by Myles but now I certainly want to. I downloaded this to see if I would be interested in this series and now I really want to know what happens with Jackie.

This prequel to the Succubus Diaries series was a pleasant surprise for me. Foreplay can easily be read within half an hour, but has enough story in it to make you curious for the rest of the books.

We meet geeky Jackie Brighton when she hears her dream-job is about to be filled by a woman way less qualified than her. We get a glimpse of her personality, and I found her voice very entertaining.

What struck me the most about this short is that even though it has a rather dubious name and what looks like a naked girl on the front, this was not just a chance for the author to show off her sex-scene writing skills. There is some sexual tension, but nothing graphic or shocking. This story's main mission is to introduce you to the main character, Jackie, and the mess she's got herself into.

I really enjoyed this short, and would love to read more from this author.
